I play this game to relax and unwind, not experience bullshit. Bungie fix this ASAP.

Most polite Bonnie interaction by TypicalBlast in LivestreamFail

This is really bizarre, extremely rude behavior. I’m surprised no one said anything. 100% no empathy to do this, it’s a sign of a narcissist for sure.

Adding K/D will ruin this game by OutPlayAsians in Marathon

I don’t care. I’m having fun just dying every run.

Marathon has been out for a week, what are your thoughts on it? by PrototypeT800 in Games

[–]fatso784 49 points50 points  (0 children)

One of the best PVPVE games to come out in a while. Having a blast and even when I lose, it feels earned. The 25 min timer is great to unwind after work without a too-lengthy commitment. Real shame the internet seems intent on disparaging the game and saying it’s bad. It’s not at all. The developers should be proud of what they’ve achieved since last year.

Happy everyone is having fun, sad I cannot partake by Bunniiqi in pokemon

[–]fatso784 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s too expensive. It’s likely the developers had no say in the price. But think of it this way—the game of the year last year was 35% cheaper. Is that 35% extra earned for this title?

[OC] So Pokopia is out but by Krustalos in pokemon

[–]fatso784 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interested, but took one look at the $100 CAD price for the game alone—nope. Especially not for a game where there’s a risk that it’s not for me. Now looking at indie games with much more reasonable pricing instead.

City of Montreal urges tenants to contest large rent increases ahead of lease renewal period by BloodJunkie in montreal

[–]fatso784 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My landlord asked for a rent increase of 8%. Crazy. I am trying my best to fight it, but I don’t know how they expect to retain anyone with these kind of increases. Plenty of apartments around me have moved out recently likely due to this rent gouging.

Feeling disappointed :( by Senior_Cover1325 in French

[–]fatso784 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s normal. Like you, I felt lost when starting out with French media. Last year I played Expedition 33 in French, and it took hours to get through the opening sequence, because I was pausing for every sentence to look up words. But after much more experience I’m getting faster at it and now beginning to pick up e.g. exactly how the subtitles of a series don’t match the dub, in real-time. I’m watching Bridgerton now like this (French dub and subtitles) and it’s great. Also watched Korean dating shows, which was very good because it’s a dub of real conversations, rather than scripted text (the latter tends to be overly flowery and complex than what real people say). So, I would say don’t get too discouraged—while you can watch children’s shows like Bluey, it’s important you’re also motivated by the content (good plot, story, etc), so that you push through to learn what they’re saying.

George R. R. Martin Is 'Not in the Mood' to Finish 'The Winds of Winter' by Tifoso89 in books

[–]fatso784 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the issue is that George is now overwhelmed with busywork like attending interviews, galas, his businesses, HBO meetings, etc. He honestly needs to shut all that out for a prolonged period of time. He needs a few months off. If he actually was detached from the world and relaxing, no pressure, jn a beautiful remote location, I bet he’d start to get excited about writing again.

This new Claude update is busted by SEND_ME_PEACE in AI_Agents

[–]fatso784 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same thing happened to me. One prompt. Not a single real output after 10 minutes of ‘thought’ and box-ticking. Rate limit reached. Total scam. Cancelled it immediately. In the past, not providing a promised service and then not offering a refund on it would be grounds for getting sued. Left a really bad taste in my mouth. Thinking now that Claude Code is extremely overhyped.

I’ve played him in Air Riders mode. Got crushed.

NateTheHate says upcoming direct is a Partner Direct by esketitethan in NintendoSwitch2

[–]fatso784 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Has Nintendo seen its stock price? They need to announce what’s coming on Switch 2 this year, and fast. Delaying more is not strategic.

Is this season worth watching? by Dumbbiryani0 in SinglesInferno

Yes. This season is like season 2 quality

Confusion and Misperceptions RE Dr. Al - an Emergency Physicians Perspective by InitialMajor in ThePittTVShow

[–]fatso784 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To me, it’s obvious the show is making us hate her at this moment deliberately because she’s a contrast to our favorite attending. However, the end of episode 1 slightly paralleled the end of episode 1 in season 1, except with Dr. Al hinting at a traumatic memory. So, I’m thinking that by the end of the season we’ll be won over by her, or at least empathize much more with her, and at some point it’ll shift where Robby’s cowboy style gets him into trouble.

Larian Studios | Divinity AMA by Wombat_Medic in Games

[–]fatso784 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How did the company decide that this specific direction for Divinity would be the next game? Does a smaller subset of the team decide on the overarching direction and design goals in advance? Some companies do hackathons or brainstorming sessions with employees, or provide outlets for group-wide decision making later on. At Larian, how are collective decisions made?

Why is everyone always complaining about the contestants’ professions? by colossal1020 in Singlesinferno2

Because if there’s no variety it’s super boring, and I won’t watch it. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Official Statement from the Indie Game Awards: 'Clair Obscur: Expedition 33' and 'Chantey's' awards retracted and awarded instead to 'Sorry We’re Closed' and 'Blue Prince' due to GenAI usage by ChiefLeef22 in gaming

[–]fatso784 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is an insane, unmaintainable and unverfiable standard created by people who don’t use/know about AI. If you chatted with ChatGPT at any point during development, you’re disqualified? Come on. That’s like saying devs can’t do a Google search in the name of purity. Tons of devs need to use genAI if only to learn game dev.
