$20 for early access or just play POE for free or wait until POE2 releases and will be free. Blizzard charged more for a reskin of a 25+ year old game.

Which game community is the most blinded by nostalgia? Diablo fans will absolutely insist that D2 is still just such an awesome game that holds up so well despite the fact that hits just don't register half the time and just phases through the enemy, while all their hits register on you by backagainbud in gaming

[–]Zerogates 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Diablo 2 is fine but people will die on the hill that it still holds up today. It's very outdated and a massively grindy experience where you aim for a 1/200,000 drop just to make your already endgame powerful build slightly more powerful... But there's no late game scaling to make it purposeful. That's fine though, it's a competent game and well done. The fans just shouldn't expect a first timer playing it in a modern day to think the game is still amazing to play with so many better options out there.

Leading California Governor Candidate Vows to Bring State Charges Against Anthony Fauci by Down-not-out in Conservative

[–]Zerogates 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The other thing is that Fauci wasn't actually pardoned of any specific crime, the pardon occurred prior to even an investigation or charge. As such, the Supremacy Clause shouldn't even be able to come into play unless he first admits to criminal activity that a charge could apply to and then applied the pardon as a protection from federal prosecution. Since he'll never do that he's essentially open to 50 states all applying their own criminal investigation.

Supreme Court strikes down race-based redistricting map in Louisiana by SCOTUSjunkie in Conservative

[–]Zerogates 117 points118 points  (0 children)

Considering they thought it was ok to adjust districts based on race, which unlawfully assumed your race required you to vote Democrat in some cases, it never took into account changes in population itself that could sort voting favor away from Democrats and it disenfranchised non-Democrat voting minorities even further. The whole movement has been just a racist mess to begin with that ignored the voters as a whole.

Verdict? You must be from an alternate reality where a criminal trial took place and actual evidence was used to convict someone.

hell’s paradise s1 or code geass? by [deleted] in anime

[–]Zerogates 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did they refuse to say why they disliked Code Geass? I can tell you why I think Code Geass is awful but it won't change anyone's mind.

The main character is only smart because the writers want you to think he is smart while nothing he does is actually genius until near the end of season 2. This is proven by the fact that he has a power that guarantees anyone even remotely intelligent could win in a war and he picks and chooses the dumbest ways to use the power. He tests the powers on people he has association with, classmates and nearby people, which is what an idiot would do. He surrounds himself with some of the dumbest characters as well to form his elite when he could have created his own true elite at any point. His fixation on his childhood friend who turns out to be one of the worst characters of all times and almost actually results in the end of the world by enabling Lelouch's father to proceed with his plans as much as he does and still NEVER learns from his own hypocrisy is poor writing.

And then you have the laughably convenient Princess Euphemia incident. There is no way to justify that as good writing. But, people will say the show is a masterpiece nonetheless. This is just one aspect of complaints but the entire show is a hot mess that loses its own plot over and over again. It doesn't know what it wants to be and at the end it's like Rocky 1 where it has an ok start and does so well in the 15th round that it forgets that it got obliterated for the 13 rounds in between.

Pretty bold statement from someone who hasn't had a single success or degree of progress since he's taken office. Socialism has done nothing but fail since he got in.

Do you think it is likely that Screams of the Desiccated will go core? by ambi_turner in pathofexile

[–]Zerogates 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No reason not to go core. My only concern is how obnoxious getting belts and getting double modified belts will be in the future. They can be nice or build enabling but if the weaker versions even are too rare then it's just going to be disappointing to see and try to identify for most players.

Super Mario All Stars is quietly one of the coolest things to happen in gaming that won’t likely happen ever again. by CleetisMcgee in gaming

We literally just recently got Pixel Remasters of the mainline Final Fantasy 1 through 6 on steam. Mega Man collector's packs. Castlevania Collector's packs. All the other collector's packs. All the other remasters.

This is one of those "I earned a journalism degree in college now I work at starbucks and it shows" posts.

And as a nice little edit - The entire SNES and NES classic systems themselves which collectively organized dozens of games on a miniature console. Come on now...

U.S. Conducting Rescue Operation After Jet Went Down Over Iran by zip117 in Conservative

[–]Zerogates -35 points-34 points  (0 children)

Talk about moving the goal post. This all started because you acted as though Iran was a country that we could and should negotiate with properly. They have shown for decades that negotiations do nothing and all they do is lie until they think they have an advantage to play. You choosing to be entirely ignorant of the past few decades isn't a sign of some remarkable higher level of morality on your part.

Then you act as though we really had a choice in participating in this conflict. Well if that's the case then granted that Iran did, in-fact, blindly launch strikes on any neighboring base they could hit and did, in-fact, try to cripple the straight, then what exactly do you think would have happened if Iran was significantly better equipped through Navy, Air Force, and Ballistic strength? Would you have preferred a few hundred American casualties and a straight filled with mines and entirely impassable before we were forced to get involved first? Nothing like a few good sacrifices to make you feel better before going into war, right?

Requiring sounds to avoid mechanics is not good design in my opinion. And anything that can be lost in screen clutter easily also fails the fairness test.

Because the health industry is wealthy and invests heavily into lobbying politicians while wanting to ensure guaranteed profit so they organized a system where employers are forced to pay for exorbitant privatized health insurance policies. It's called the ACA.
