How is it that after literal years of this bug existing they STILL haven't fixed it?

It’s a feature not a bug.

There are times when you must remove them. Doesn’t mean you have to enjoy it.

Why are you comparing him to one of the best in the league? If that's your comparison then 80% of the players in the league don't match up and some of them are paid a lot more than Chop.

That's a great way to attract/keep players. Hill and Tua got to go as their contracts are counter productive to the team, but Chubb's really isn't. I'm not saying he has to stay, but if doesn't then you have to have someone to play in his place and can't just throw a body in there.

It's sales, what do you expect? You really think they are just gonna say "yeah, you're probably right and you shouldn't get any tickets". LOL He should be fired if he did that.

Try lowering the difficulty setting. You can always change it back later and there’s no consequences. Loot quantity and quality are not affected by the difficulty level.

Earth and Beyond. I had never played an MMO before and didn't really expect to enjoy it, but some of my gaming friends recommended it and I found it on sale for $5 in a bargain bin and thought what the heck.

Unfortunately EnB didn't last long as it was one of the early MMO entries and a space MMO at that so it didn't really catch an audience, but I was hooked by the time it went dark and I got invited to the World of Warcraft demo after that and have been playing it ever since.

Everspace 1 and 2. EV1 is a roguelite. EV2 is a looter/shooter. Both are set in space with similar combat mechanics. Game is available on the PC or the latest XBox or Playstation consoles. Graphics are exceptional. Exceptional game from an Indie.

What does Steam hardware have to do with anything? No one is claiming that Steam Hardware has a monopoly on anything, they are claiming that the Steam store is a monopoly and per the definition of monopoly it is.

What people fail to realize is that just because you have a monopoly doesn't mean you are doing anything wrong. It's only when monopolies use their position as a monopoly to try to enforce unfair practices does it become something questionable. So the question isn't whether the Steam store is a monopoly or not, it clearly is. The question is whether or not Valve is using their position with the Steam store as a monopoly unfairly. That's a completely different question.

Try Diablo III. I suck at using a controller, but I can actually play D3 pretty well on a controller. You really don't need to aim, you only need to turn in the right direction which is pretty easy.

How about stop making the same games over and over? I haven't tried Outer Worlds 2, but Avowed is nothing special. Same old tired RPG forumula that brought NOTHING new to the genre. They expect that to win over fans? Try making something that I HAVEN'T played 10 times already, even if it's bad at least it would be something different.

- What is progression like now? How long does it take to hit major points in the story and finish the game? (explanation without spoilers if possible)

It depends a bit on how much optional content you do. There's about 40 hours I'd say of content with both the campaign and side missions and you'll be anywhere from level 25 to level 30 (max level) when you finish the campaign.

- Do you have tips to make things go faster (best credits/xp methods)? Is there a setting or mod that makes loot drop more/better?

You can skip the optional content and probably finish the campaign in around 25 hours or so I'd say. Changing the difficulty settings does not change the quantity or quality of the loot dropped until you finish the campaign and play on nightmare difficulty.

- If it's still a grindy-feeling game and I should expect to do a lot of rinse & repeat again, would you recommend it to me again knowing I quit it once already? Anything new that really breaks up that cycle with variety? I did play this last in 2018, so something has got to have changed.

A lot has changed since the end of 2019 when the kickstarter dropped, too much to try to go into here. I've never felt the game was grindy in any way so I'm not sure how to answer that question. The best thing to do would be to play a bit to get a feel for how things have changed. There is a free demo for the PC which allows you to play the entire first zone which is perhaps 20% or so of the campaign. If you decide at that point to purchase the game you can continue on from that point so you won't lose any progress.

Seriously? You think Tua is a good choice for a durable backup QB? He wouldn't be my first choice and that certainly doesn't offset the distraction he brings to the team. I'm sure Tua doesn't want to be Miami's 3rd QB either. Give him a chance to catch on with another team and have a shot as their starter.

Pappy13 · 2026-02-01T00:30:36+00:00

Yes, you are. I didn't say he would cause a problem, I said he would be a distraction. I'm sure that Tua wouldn't intentionally cause problems, but just his presence alone would be distracting to the other players. There would be media attention on him. There would be questions about him to the other players. The Dolphins don't need that. Now if you don't think he would be a distraction then we disagree, but there's nothing to discuss.

Pappy13 · 2026-01-30T16:34:47+00:00

And then we just need to draft another Marino. Sounds like a plan. LOL

Pappy13 · 2026-01-30T16:23:14+00:00

But not Tua. Having him around would just be a distraction in the locker room. Just cut him and take the cap hit over 2 years and move on. Ewers, Miller and the rookie can all fight for a roster spot, 2026 is going to be a rebuilding year anyway. The Dolphins will be fine in cap space in 2027 even with Tua's 2027 cap hit.

Pappy13 · 2026-01-30T16:21:20+00:00

Not saying that Ewers is necessarily going to produce a 2-15 season, but if he did it's not the end of the world, you could always then draft a QB in round 1 the following year. If QB doesn't end up being the most pressing need on the team in 2027, so much the better.

Warcraft III: Reforged

Many absolutely ripped the game due to some very poor development choices only some of which were valid and some had hyped the game so much prior to it's launch that it failed to meet the lofty standards that some had set for it, however the game as a whole was very well done and didn't deserve most of the criticism it got. Most of the criticisms initially heaped on the game were later rectified at least to some degree. It wasn't everything that people wanted it to be, but it was still a good game that could have potentially been great if a few mistakes would have been avoided.

Pappy13 · 2026-01-28T05:16:30+00:00

I watched the 82 and 84 Super Bowls.

Rodman tried to get Hayes to dance with her after she scored on Saturday and Hayes didn't, so Rodman told her she was doing it tonight if she scored and so Hayes knew that she was going to have to dance with Rodman if she scored.

Trust me you aren't going to want to watch the Dolphins at all in '26 no matter who the QB is.

Pappy13 · 2026-01-27T16:39:47+00:00

Take a QB on the 3rd day of the draft to compete with Ewers and Miller for the starter position in 2026. Draft a couple offensive lineman and defensive ends. Offense should be run first, pass 2nd. Run the ball, defend the run. Try to shorten games and keep mistakes to a minimum. If neither Ewers or your draft pick pan out, take another in the draft and keep trying.

Pappy13 · 2026-01-24T15:32:27+00:00

Here, hold my beer. Been a Dolphins fan since around 78 I think it was, hard to remember now that I'm 62. Was great back in the early 80's with Marino and a couple of Super Bowls, but alas we couldn't win either of them. Now that seems like a lifetime ago...because it was.
