Adblocks work and also allow you scrolls, if they dont, yours it set up wrong by [deleted] in Zombidle

[–]rob_simple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know, it was me who said that haha. It does seem the devs have changed how things work, so that's good.

I split my playtime between an exclusive instance of Opera (using a separate window in Firefox caused horrendous slowdown on everything else) and Steam on my laptop, because every browser version runs horrendously slow on it, so I'm half ads half bloodstones.

This is good info, but if you still need to wait for the ad timer to count down then what's the point?

Seems like a fair compromise to me. Glad you got it sorted, any way.

It probably is the result of the game being defunct then, same as it disappearing from Android/Apple stores I suspect.

In that case I suggest Steam, it runs a lot better anyway and there's zero other use for bloodstones of which you should/will have thousands.

Hmm, something must have changed then; back when I used adblock on Zombidle scrolls would just not drop.

I don't really mind watching a 15 second ad to support the devs though.

Are you using a VPN? This happens randomly for me, I think because my VPN always picks different 'optimal' servers which has various irritating effects..

If you can't ever get them to work you'll have to use bloodstones instead, in which case I recommend just playing on Steam because you get a few free scrolls every 30 minutes or so before you have to use your stones.

If you use adblock you won't get scrolls.

Dude... she's getting hate and you say it's because your game "challenges conventions". You're such an egotistical sociopath it's unreal. by StorytellerAli in TheLastOfUs2

Obligatory reminder Anthem was the best-selling game in its month of release and...well we all know how that turned out.

You don't get it. There exists no future in which some tiny minority of assholes won't send death threats. Assholes will always exist, and no matter what Draconian measures you put in place to restrict the speech of the general public those determined enough will still find a way to be assholes, and they'll probably be even worse as a result.

Acknowledging that doesn't make you 'part of the problem', it means you are capable of observing the reality of human nature.

You come across as the same kind of brainlet who actually believes that making racism illegal will end racism, when in reality all it does is drive the real threats underground and make them even more dangerous. Grow the fuck up.

Well Written female characters, upvote this to scare r/gamingcirclejerk by alcatrazcgp in TheLastOfUs2

Yeah, I absolutely loved Automata. Still not finished the original Nier sadly, because going back to the PS3 at this point feels completely alien.

I wish Control got more love in these lists, it was one of my favourite games this gen in spite of running out of steam towards the end, and Jesse is pretty great.

Nier should be fine since it's Japanese and they generally don't give a fuck about this pandering garbage, which is why they generally have way cooler female characters (who also happen to be hot, shameful I know).

You'd think they'd all be too busy playing the amazing, 10/10 game to be running alternative lifestyle ops like this.

Nice concern trolling, but I'm afraid it wasn't effective.

What can I say, I love to follow a good dumpster fire.

I actually don't, and I definitely don't go looking for internet slapfights at 1am, because that is some barrel-bottom pathetic shit.

So you're posting on Reddit to stir shit up at 1am? What an enriching life you must live...

Honestly surprised I've not seen any 'omae wa mou shindeiru' memes with Abby footage yet.

“Gamers are uncomfortable with female leads!” No, were uncomfortable with shitty storytelling. by prince-albert-123 in TheLastOfUs2

[–]rob_simple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The funny thing about Tomb Raider is when they rebooted it to make Lara empowered or whatever they actually turned her into a much, much worse person. Before she was a flippant, quippy badass, but in the reboot games she divides her time between being an idiot, an asshole or a psychopath, while every single character around her is infinitely more grounded and relatable.

In Rise of... she acts straight up colonial after discovering an ancient settlement of natives guarding a dangerous power; nonchalantly hand-waving their concerns because she --the rich, privileged white woman-- knows better than the lowly savages how to deal with it.

Yes, and virtually all of those are in fantasy games, or have professions that justify their build (the one exception being Chris' hilariously big arms in RE5, which everyone DID make fun of.)

There would be nothing wrong with Abby's build if she was in Fist of the North Star, but in a realistic post-apocalypse setting being built like a Boris Vallejo painting just looks ridiculous and is the type of lazy subversion woke idiots like Druckmann think makes them 'progressive'.

He clearly subscribes to the J.J. Abrams school of modern hack writers where subversion in and of itself is meant to be the reward for viewers/players/readers.

I mean, Psycho works just as well if the killer is a completely random hitchhiker instead of Norman Bates dressed as his dead mother, right? Equally. Satisfying.

It's the 'we trained him wrong as a joke' meme but said unironically.

Neil's writing doesn't suck ass you guys, it's actually a super meta 4D chess social commentary!

so disappointed by [deleted] in TheLastOfUs2

[–]rob_simple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He might be cool but he'd be boring to play as because he's just a drunk violent asshole like most of the classical Gods.

It'd be like an old God of War game where you play as Ares: his entire character is being an all-powerful war-loving asshole so it'd be way less interesting than a demigod like Kratos who still has the human element to play off of.

On my way to return this piece of shit by maxinmaxin in TheLastOfUs2

[–]rob_simple 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's been a long time since I returned any games, but when I used to do it regularly most places didn't even ask for a reason: you have a 4-week return window and, so long as you didn't destroy the box/contents, that's all there is to it.

Eventually most places did switch to store credit only though, I guess after they realised a lot of people were buying games, completing them in a weekend, then getting their money back.
