It didn't take time to dislike Fallout 4; I'd say it was just the opposite. People didn't like it almost as soon as it came out. It has taken time for many people to give it credit as a fun game just not a fun fallout game.
In my opinion, though, that's still a pretty damning criticism of a game called Fallout 4. But I digress.
Gonna need some cut off tank tops to go with them. That's the southern yard-workin man's uniform
How far into Nier Automata did you get, may I ask? It could be worth sticking through past the credits. It's one of those games where the side quests actually add to the experience, as well, so if you're not doing those you're missing some of the philosophy.
I know that's a lot of work to enjoy something, though, and that's not everyone's cup of tea!
Thanks! I tried to keep it as short as possible while still getting all the info across, so sorry if it's a lil choppy.
There's loads more detail on this specific instance that I left out, and it just gets more infuriating the more you look. Especially for the 19-24 y.o. kids on the teams that actually put their bodies and health on the line at such a young age to play the games that make these old fuckers so rich. Florida State actually lost their quarterback midway through the season due to a snapped lower leg, but they STILL carried on to be undefeated the rest of the season! That never happens! Just to be told by some old farts in board rooms that that still isn't enough to play for a championship title. They gave their spot to a team with a worse record, but would make ESPN more money. Heartbreaking.
This topic grinds my gears, and I'm not even a sports fan, my SO is.

It does matter, actually. I know most people on Lemmy don't care about sports, but bear with me.
Look at Disney's ownership of ESPN, for example. Zooming in a bit more, look at what ESPN owns, specifically to do with college football, say. They own most TV stations playing various games, they control most of the talking heads spinning 'narratives' of teams all season, various contracts with different 'divisions' in the sport on what channels they can broadcast on (SEC being the biggest, most profitable) and have several executives on the Playoffs Committee (they determine who plays in the playoffs). This all came to a head this season, when the Committee decided to omit a team from the playoffs that had an undefeated record (Florida State) in favor of a team that DID have a loss (Alabama), seemingly because that team would have a higher viewership and therefore make them more money in advertising.
This set the college football community ON FIRE. You even had articles about it popping up on CNN. Suddenly the mask was off, and ESPN clearly showed that they do not care about how the games are played or even who wins, they're going to give spots to who they view as the most profitable teams. Basically rendering the whole sport useless. They tried, on their channels, to have their talking heads spin it every which way, but the real reasons they picked who they picked were pretty obvious to see. But what could anyone do? ESPN owns everything and calls all the shots, pays just about everyone's salary.
What's also extremely heinous is that, this year, they opened up their own sports betting service. That is a huge conflict of interest, considering that they own everything else to do with most sportsball stuff.
Anyway. Rant over.
TLDR: Monopolies are a problem, no matter what industry they're in.
Do it, pussy 😎
I'm tired and hollow, boss. At this point I'm done speculating about release and will play it when Michael Zaki-san deems it ready for release.
Jesus, bone marrow cancer and dead at 65. Absolutely tragic. His contributions will always be remembered and he will be missed. RIP.
I've fallen off with reading much of this year (life has been so hectic), so I'd like to make a manageable goal of finishing a book every other month next year. Even if it's just a novella, it would be nice to get back into it.
Oof, good luck to you friend.
Is this the start of Todd trying to make us buy Fallout 4 a million times, like he did with Skyrim? In lieu of making an actual new good game?
I just finished Alan Wake 2; what a game. It's been totally occupying my mind since I finished it. That story dlc cannot come fast enough next year.
The irony is that, at first, I picked this up to try and take my mind off the Elden Ring dlc wait. Now, if the ER dlc does drop sometime between December and February like people are speculating, that will be what keeps me occupied until the Alan Wake dlc.
Demetrius, give it a fucking rest.
Ayyyy :D
There are dozens of us. DOZENS!
Didn't it win a BAFTA? Or was it just nominated? That counts more than a game award, imo
Aw yeah, this and the Bram Stoker awards are my Super Bowl(s)
Awww I love this one
I loved this video! Super interesting and well-produced as always.
Thank you for posting these! Her butt wiggles are so cute, I love her. I've been having a hard one too, and these helped pick me up. She looks so soft :)
