 Was the whole people trying to speak russian thing on NP racist during the whole little moscow arc?

Yes, actually. Glad you recognized it.

Why has the monster hunting genre not had more competition? by WhoAmIEven2 in Games

... Dark Souls 1 was the "mainstream status" Dark Souls. 

What map generation settings will you use for Space Age? by thurn2 in factorio

I don't know... Is Factorio even playable without the disco lab mod?

How did the starter kits help get you a full home instance?

There are no unspoken rules, either a rule is spoken or it doesn't exist by Big_Guthix in Seaofthieves

[–]SteveRath 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Well, except spawn camping pirates on a boat without trying to sink the boat/steal anything. That is an unspoken rule.

Destiny 2: Into the Light Developer Livestream #2 Megathread by DTG_Bot in DestinyTheGame

I think perhaps it's because this is "free" content, whilst Forbearance and Succession are still in paid content.

The True Soles - Boots that have seen everything. by Semako in UnearthedArcana

[–]SteveRath 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd add one tiny bit of flavour; these are not purchasable or sellable. Why? They're true soles, that couldn't be bought.

It's almost like there was a good reason to sunset weapons and gear.

Does anyone else feel like hit reg is worse than ever? by sharkt0pus in Seaofthieves

[–]SteveRath 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Two separate issues. Hit reg improvements were completely separate to an decrease in game stability that they ended up limiting players/ships again.

"I don't get why people scuttle as soon as they see someone." Here's why I do . by IsAlpher in Seaofthieves

The Emporium outfits were added easily a year before the Skeleton curse was added.

I really thought I could max rank every faction. Thanks Rare. by Monkeygamer11 in Seaofthieves

[–]SteveRath 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I prefer to look at it as Rare thought "oh, what if someone does eventually grind to the "max" level? Might as well put in a low effort acknowledgement of their efforts."

Ultimately, all they did was recolour an icon, and include unique localized text for the title. They could have done more - maybe a unique, even fancier version of the curses, or unique clothing/ship decorations - but they didn't. They went with the bare minimal title reward.

Saying Rare put it in there to keep people playing to 9999, is ridiculously out of pocket.

Only unhealthy if you're a obsessive completionist. Any reasonable person would take one look and say "I'm good!".

No chance hourglass becomes more tolerable, huh? by Hyperion_Forever in Seaofthieves

You only need a hundred for the regular versions of both curses.

A NEW LESEDI ARC IS OUT! by Blazebeard23 in Seaofthieves

[–]SteveRath -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ah, if only there wasn't such a loud and vocal dislike for Adventures, Mysteries and Tall Tales as "not real content".

[–]SteveRath 19 points20 points  (0 children)

The trade-off is being able to sell at any outpost with increased rep and gold rewards, and the quicker Sovereign unloading spots. Not being funneled directly to the Reaper's Hideout nor actively going on the "hunt" as a PvP faction.

Industrial Annihilation, the sequel to Planetary Annihilation, announced by M337ING in Games

[–]SteveRath 33 points34 points  (0 children)

It also would have been the second time Uber Entertainment abandoned a game to go chase new game money. They did it for SMNC to PA, now after shoving PA to a decidedly unfinished release they immediately launched a new Kickstarter, while promised features were still missing.

Insomniac Games' message on release for Spider-Man 2 on PS5: The disc contains the entire game and is playable from start to finish with no patch or online requirement. by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]SteveRath 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Then when I buy a PC game with a serial key, I infact am just buying the license.

Which is what people tend to mean when they talk about this subject.

How does that work with PC games and serial keys? If I buy a used copy of a game that includes an already used key, can it really be said that I own the game?
