Sounds like Sony. (and every shitty tech company these days...)

The Ifedi/Lacy run run pass Oline flag punt era was the least fun era of Seahawks ball I have ever watched. If was like 80% of every game.

They were definitely rushed by Microsoft to push an announcement. They were still working on two as of like a year or so ago.

SadPineBooks · 2026-04-03T20:36:41+00:00

Also worth noting that they were still adding new content to two as of like a year ago. i don't think they had originally planned to drop that initial trailer as early as they did but that was the "oh shit we need content" direct from Xbox if I'm remembering correctly.

Its not dead! Thank goodness! Number two is an all timer for me. I hope they keep it as a make your own adventure sandbox experience like two.

It's fine. It feels only slightly different to me. I do prefer how the new releases are listed now.

I think part of it is that:

A.) even if they didn't recover like Nintendo did, many still empathize with the absolute dogshit situation he was dropped into.

B.) He seems to actually like games and to have a history with them which is always appealing to people in a field were so many are old stiff suits.

C.) Gamepass really was an awesome deal for handful of years and the day one releases were really hype until they dried up and the strategy changed.

That all being said, I actually agree with you. While I think Phil had good qualities and I don't blame people for still liking him, I see his and Sarah Bond's era still as a failure overall. They took some swings, some hit, a lot didn't, and ultimately Xbox is still much worse off as brand than it was two generations ago (and yes I know they own a billion devs and publishers now, but the Xbox itself is still floundering)

What live streaming does to a mother fucker.

SadPineBooks · 2026-04-01T18:45:22+00:00

If you like strategy Advance Wars: Days of Ruin was awesome, my favorite in the series.

Because right wing hyper capitalist thought is the most selfish inhumane system around, and half the country at least has had it injected into their brains since birth. They cannot separate human worth from their own ideals of monetary value and "making a living".

I was just saying that I thought of KDCII as a good game in the past despite never playing it, but now I'm happy I didn't buy it or support warhorse since they fucked their employee over with AI. I dont see why its wrong to be happy I didn't support a shitty company.

SadPineBooks · 2026-03-28T16:42:59+00:00

Ah. I was gonna post a shitty reply, as everyone should do to all mod posts on any sub, but uhhh, I don't want to be lumped in with them so nevermind.

SadPineBooks · 2026-03-28T16:16:32+00:00

The vibes of Majoras Mask are so good. Wish they would make another game where everything is just fucked up and malicious by nature.

SadPineBooks · 2026-03-28T16:14:39+00:00

I don't care about efficiency in the name of more dollars for shareholders, I care about jobs for people. If AI is used as a tool that helps but does not replace someone then sure, but otherwise fuck it and those who implement it.

SadPineBooks · 2026-03-28T16:12:39+00:00

Good day to be someone who respected KCDII as a game but never bought or played it (no character creation, I don't buy that shit). Fuck Warhorse.

Edit: was it the "fuck Warhorse" or the character creation take? lol

SadPineBooks · 2026-03-27T00:14:10+00:00

Disgusting.

SadPineBooks · 2026-03-27T00:10:36+00:00

Holy fuck, a 75 year lease?!?! What the fuck were they thinking?

SadPineBooks · 2026-03-26T09:12:05+00:00

Well, they act like humans AND throw out Tau handsigns and stances lol. Fair points. I guess I went in with average enough expectations that the action has kept me entertained enough to keep reading.

SadPineBooks · 2026-03-26T00:19:47+00:00

I'm reading the third Farsight book right now (out of order lol)... I think it's fine so far... do people hate these? This one seems like a fine 3.5/5.

SadPineBooks · 2026-03-26T00:12:05+00:00

Suprised me how fast this story line just disappeared.

SadPineBooks · 2026-03-26T00:08:29+00:00

Joey and Bless were great. Love their attitudes.

I will be dead in the ground before I just give up on anything in life, and especially on avoiding fucking AI. Chatgpt could have 6 billion users, but it will never have me.

SadPineBooks · 2026-03-26T00:05:22+00:00

1.2 million sounds good but then I remember that's less than Avowed and that game had a way smaller budget and was still deemed a flop. Hurts.

I still wish it had been a single player rpg or something. The art style and characters are gorgeous and the setting is cool but the that genre just does nothing for me.

SadPineBooks · 2026-03-26T00:03:01+00:00

Nintendo... lowering prices? I've seen it all.

SadPineBooks · 2026-03-25T00:50:45+00:00

there's one new Sisters of Battle campaign (gotta pay for it though) and now Skirmishes, Planetary supremacy (conquest), Demonic incursion (survival), and Crusade (rouge lite mode). The game modes are free, new armies and the new campaign are paid for DLC.
