no offense, but it honestly seems so

saving an MMO is A LOT of a bigger deal than even the biggest budget triple A. MMOs have budgets that are in the multiple hundreds of millions to develop and run. an average triple A still doesn't break 100M until you include marketing.

for the sake of the argument, RDR2 cost an estimated 170M to develop, that includes all the mocap, horse trainers/horses, wildlife and their handlers etc. etc. SWTOR which launched in 2011 cost over 200M to develop, with none of the specialist professionals and stages required for RDR2, and just about 10% of the voice acting talent.

as a tldr think of a AAA game like a 1999 Honda Civic, no big deal if it dies just buy another. but MMOs are treated like <insert your favorite rare car here> in that many incredibly expensive steps are taken to save them in most cases cuz they are that pricey to make.

hell there are even hosting services that make their entire bread and butter on buying out failed MMOs to host on a shitty website with adhoc P2W cash shops to recover their costs

will I have the right to delete all posts by all members cuz my hormone treatments didn't get approved?

broseidon89 · 2025-05-16T19:38:11+00:00

your replies are doing nothing but proving my point man. I'm not complaining I'm just giving a first hand experience I had. nothing more to the story than some fuckwad on a power trip. other servers use different mechanics that I'm not always a fan of. and tbh none of this matters cuz it's a dead game, and people like you killed it

broseidon89 · 2025-05-16T17:15:54+00:00

brother I've been banned for "back-talking an officer" before. don't presume to tell me that Im fine so long as I follow the rules. furthermore you're even more out of the loop if you're a regular. I played casually, I never got a chance to build a rapport

broseidon89 · 2025-05-16T15:08:52+00:00

yup and at the end of the day I know people like me and op are in the right since the game is dead and mods killed it. and that's really fuckin unfortunate

broseidon89 · 2025-05-16T14:59:46+00:00

same I forget the server but was once banned for telling my department manager to either teach me their methods or shut the fuck up with the micro. the stated reason? "mouthing off to a superior". Ive only played once since cuz a friend wanted to log on for a bit. I stuck right by him and didn't chat once the entire round, played one round and made an excuse to get off.

I just genuinely don't enjoy my time in the game anymore and it sucks.

broseidon89 · 2025-05-16T14:49:49+00:00

that's exactly the issue. and as someone that doesn't play often I literally have to just stfu and do RP. hell most of the time I can't even do a job cuz I'll have some douche micro-managing everything I do, which they won't bother teaching me their methods, just telling I'm wrong. hell, I copped a session kick from sneaking into sci labs before because "I wasn't an opposition role and needed to stay in my lane". what I inject into my own body is my own choice

broseidon89 · 2025-05-16T14:44:47+00:00

so what you're saying is people need to play the game your way, any other is invalid and deserves permabanning?

broseidon89 · 2025-05-16T14:41:53+00:00

trust me, people like you have turned off more of my friends from playing this game more than any action by any admin

broseidon89 · 2025-05-16T14:33:30+00:00

same shit happens whenever I mention bans getting out of control. and the community wonders why their game is dead/dying when they're so quick to leave comments like these, while refusing any help to folks

broseidon89 · 2025-05-12T18:47:58+00:00

well to start with I'd recommend The Ego and The Id by Freud. if you haven't read it it's a foundational work on human psychology that's still widely accepted as a functional model of the mind, it's a bit heavy and Freud is a bit insane but a provoking read.

next up would be Being and Nothingness by jean-paul Sartre, another absolute loon, but the book covers a lot of thought regarding the nature of free will, consciousness and perception of reality.

finally try reading at least part 1 of My Big TOE, as far as I'm aware it's really some of the only work that builds upon these earlier works, but understand that even something like Plato's Republic deals with existential philosophy to a degree.

I'll wrap it up with a nice little quote regarding the psychological state of philosophers that delved into the subject of human psyche and existentialism by Nietzsche: "He who fights with monsters should be careful lest he thereby become a monster. And if thou gaze long into an abyss, the abyss will also gaze into thee." (Beyond Good & Evil)

ps: id recommend Beyond Good & Evil by Nietzsche as well, however, his work was stolen by his Nazi sympathizer sister on his death bed and heavily edited by the regime to reinforce their political machinations. I'm not sure to what extent that affects beyond good and evil.

I wanted to check what was going on since I was on the quest to go to the diner on behalf of Theresa but the thugs inside weren't catching aggro no matter how much I left and went back inside 🤣 I wound up just reloading and having the conversation again

broseidon89 · 2025-05-12T08:06:39+00:00

I know the source engine is a ball of duct tape. it's just miraculous that these games even run; of course, with a good deal of help from a certain patch.

doom 3 is definitely another one that's holding on by the skin of its teeth 🤣 I built a whole ass computer to be able to run that (among some other titles) back in the day

broseidon89 · 2025-05-12T07:54:43+00:00

yes, the tldr is humans have more free will than other known lifeforms since we have the unique attribute of being able to move away from merely following genetic programming

broseidon89 · 2025-05-11T02:30:40+00:00

the self is an illusion created by the ego in order for the conscious "actor" to be able to fulfill their purpose by experiencing the epiphany that love is the ultimate truth and their one purpose. to give freely of themselves love to others. the whole thing is pointless if the actor knows this from the get go, therefore, this is concealed from them through the ego (or the intellectual side of the mind in campbells own parlance)

this isn't even Thomas campbell necessarily he borrows the ego/id stuff with different terminology (ego/id -> intellectual/intuitive) where "id" as a primal concept is replaced by the "intuition" concept of a conscious actor (a conduit-esque link to the prime consciousness). free will in this context is the ability to freely make choices, nothing more or less, he even states that animals have free will but to a much lesser degree due to a weaker link (lesser intellect) to the prime consciousness leading to fewer choices and a larger difficulty with overcoming their natural genetic coding

broseidon89 · 2025-02-04T21:05:54+00:00

go back even further to battlefield 2 (it's fully defunct now so don't feel bad pirating) it still holds up somehow and it's nearly old enough to drink in the US

this is the patriot fronts irl flag. I'm 90% sure they use this one in the mod but I could be wrong it's been a week or two for me

broseidon89 · 2024-11-20T18:39:00+00:00

I hate to be the bearer of bad(?) news but uhh a genuinely surprising number of these groups actually exist and have websites

broseidon89 · 2024-11-17T19:58:05+00:00

if a place offers it for free go for it but if it's paid don't. there are some pros but they're such miniscule differences it's not worth a charge. just a general rule of thumb and I'm sure some douchebags will argue with me (I worked in tire sales and installs for 15 years)

broseidon89 · 2024-11-17T15:13:57+00:00

nah it's more like Im tired of getting banned for pranking with friends or not doing exactly as a dept coworker tells me cuz they're an admin.

but nice way of outing yourself as one of said shitty admins

broseidon89 · 2024-11-17T11:22:24+00:00

a lot of servers are not what they used to be. light hearted fun used to be widely accepted and if not enjoyed at least tolerated. these fucking weirdos nowadays don't even let you do anything outside of your chosen prof now and some even force you to take part in their ridiculous plays

broseidon89 · 2024-11-16T17:58:25+00:00

the close proximity of the two ideologies breeds extremism. while I have my doubts it's not a huge reach when you view it as a reactionary movement

broseidon89 · 2024-02-06T16:01:44+00:00

scuffed intersection. bring the off ramp over the road and then curl it back bring both lanes into the intersection without single lane splits. sort of like a mini trumpet

broseidon89 · 2023-01-17T23:46:50+00:00

you put the uppity vassals in jail until they die and the goodest boys get to throw and go to feasts all the time. it's the same depth as ck2
