  • Activists Are Using ‘Fortnite’ to Fight Back Against ICE

  • I can understand that perspective, but I also think you're making a lot of assumptions about whether this was effective or not. Based on your original comment you don't know, so I'm just encouraging benefit of the doubt instead of shitting on things for not being perfect.

    Maybe as an activist yourself you could get in touch with this organization in the post and suggest some more effective methods for what they're trying to achieve? That would be practicing what you're preaching instead of just leaving comments online. Just my 2 cents, and I wish you well.

  • I say this respectfully, but has making negative comments about people trying to do good and educate others ever improved the situation?

    I think it's easy to be jaded right now, I struggle with it myself, but remember that this kind of knee jerk criticism is very deflating for some people to read. You might feel like it's an outlet for you, but it can cause others to feel hopeless and depressed.

    I don't believe you want that, so I would encourage you to be more supportive of attempts at change, not just results. Changing hearts and minds is a long and imperfect process.

  • This seems like a really smart thing to do. Meet people where they are.

    I also enjoy the fact that things like this probably make these massive corporate platforms sweat a little. People always find ways to subvert and I'm here for it.

  • This is something I've wanted to see explored a lot for years. Excited to see a big studio trying it.

  • Mulled cider is way more common where I live than wine, but we're known for apples here so that's probably why.

  • Look up the guild wars 1 soundtrack. Same composer I believe.

  • It's hard to overstate how insanely fast these games get made. I have no doubt that the project managers have to cut any corner they can to meet the release schedule. Don't take this as a defense of the result, but rather a criticism of the treadmill dev cycle for these games.

  • If this starts to happen, turn it around before it slides too much and start biting from the other side instead. Usually does the trick!

  • I felt the same way. I turned it to easy mode and enjoyed the visuals and story. Good riddance to the combat frankly.

  • Microsoft reportedly estimated that Game Pass led to $300 million in lost sales of Black Ops 6, with 82% of copies sold being on the Game Pass-less PlayStation 5

  • See, CS is too far for me. Every weapon being a nearly instakill and no respawns just isn't fun for me. I'll give it to you that it's even simpler though.

  • Human em dash users, are you still afraid of being mislabeled as "AI"?

  • I don't just em dashes, I also use en dashes. Take that, robots!

  • They're a very pure and straightforward shooter experience with a lot of polish. I don't think it's that weird.

    The level of monetization is totally unhinged at this point, but there's a good game buried underneath it all.
