Ah, I see now that you said “as a non moba player”. I missed that. I thought you meant that for someone who likes MOBAs, it was disappointing, so I was curious as to why.
But yeah, I don’t like them either, so it’s disappointing to me too. Too many heroes for me, give me a multiplayer game with character customization or 5 classes, but not 100 heroes, that drives me nuts.

Because this might mean abandoning dota? Or because you’re just not all that into what you’re seeing?
This sounds to me like it’s going to be more like overwatch than like dota, so I expect that’s really what they’re trying to compete with.
So every company you give info to is responsible to catch every one of your lies? That sounds hard.
That’s probably a good thing. I generally put different information into every service. If you keep track of who you told what, you can use that information later. If you receive spam from somewhere random, but they use the name you gave Sony, you can say “oh so Sony sold my data to you…”
It’s absolutely not “hot garbage”, but it’s definitely not done.
It makes me feel better about the current state of medical practice. I’ve often felt disappointed with the options doctors have for me, or by their inability to diagnose a problem.
But the realization that they don’t have a user manual, or a schematic, and the scientific community only has a limited understanding of how this all works, really does make it easier to understand. Doctors aren’t akin to engineers, they aren’t given enough info to be engineers, they’re hackers. Doctors need to reverse engineer systems that are way over their heads, and tease them into doing something else. They need to find those undocumented instructions and then, indirectly, use chemistry to implement them into the body.
Hah, yeah I also played cyberpunk quite recently. I really liked it for the most part, I’m considering playing it again with a totally different build.
Yeah, I saw some early gameplay videos from cyberpunk… I think it has indeed come a very long way.
I do wait, and the publishers don’t get away with selling me unfinished games. It’s great.
I wait at least a month for any game, 8 months for a Bethesda game.
I just don’t see how games that don’t meet QA requirements and subsequently aren’t shelved are in any way comparable to every game on the market today…
I mean I never had to encounter those bugs, games that weren’t shelved didn’t exist in any meaningful way because nobody spent money on them. But nearly every probably half of the games I buy and play today have serious bugs on day 1 (and many still have them on day 300). That feels like a different paradigm to me.
I’m not exactly clear on how Jupiter could be pulled into the roche limit of the sun, but if it happened, yeah that would look pretty darn cool!
A boy and his blob! That was a great game! But it did not hold your hand at all, you had to figure out what every different jerky bean did to your blob. It was a good enough game that there was a modern remake I think it’s on Nintendo virtual console.
But yeah, that was a legitimately hard game for a kid. And with nothing, it wasn’t buggy, the gameplay was just different from anything else people were familiar with and it didn’t explain itself.
I don’t agree with that first point at all. Games were not all that buggy, It was orders of magnitude better than it is now.
a few were deliberately designed to have unsolvable moments without either having the official strategy guide or at least a friend who had it who could tell you.
Do you have an example?
I knew kids that bought strategy guides, I worked at a game shop that sold strategy guides, and as far as I could tell they were for chumps. People who has more money than creativity.
You could buy most of those games for console though…
That happened like, 6 times.
I can literally only think of a handful of games that had serious bugs.
There was that ninja turtles game for nes with the impossible jump, there was enter the matrix for PS2/xbox that was completely not done. There were a few games that were poorly conceived in the first place like ET for Atari…
But yeah, what else had serious bugs?
Well I read the book, and I want to say I loved it. But 90 percent of the book is buildup, focusing on the Chinese social revolution. It’s equal parts tragic, confusing and horrifying. I mean, it’s a human story, but it’s not scifi and it’s honestly hard to get through. But then the last two chapters have some fantastic scifi, some of the coolest ideas I’ve seen in fact!
But I’m not sure it’s worth it. I kind of want to recommend reading just the last three chapters or something.
In contrast, The Expanse is a fantastic book series (and tv show) and that’s a fantastic scifi story all the way through for like 6 books.
I started playing this game about a month after my dad died of cancer, I had to just nope out entirely. I could dig my teeth into Stellaris or build a flying guitar in Kerbal space program, but I couldn’t handle To the Moon or Firewatch.
Oh hey, there’s a recommendation, play Firewatch, it’s got some big feelings too.
But not even a mention of everyone’s favorite character, Kenny?
Kenny will remember that.
I’ve always wondered why people treat dark matter as a concrete fact. “Dark force” would be a better name, since we don’t even know that there’s matter there! We only presume it’s gravity keeping galaxies together and we only presume that it’s gravity due to matter. We also only presume that space is homogenous and that gravity has an equal effect across all regions of space.
