World of Warcraft Legion at the moment. Quests and stories, dungeons are good content, although they introduced heavy random mechanics and a "necessary" grind that feels a bit like playing a f2p game where you can buy shortcuts with microtransactions. The difference is I am paying for the game time alone not having the possibilty to buy such shortcuts...scratches head.

So I have my eye on Tyranny now....a bit indifferent.

Is it Hammer Time already? My watch must be slow.

I don't blame you Tiny. Looking back ten years, it was reasonable to assume that political discussions would be civil and rational. Political opponents might have had vastly different views on social and economic policies, but on the whole, those policies were comparably humane and above all grounded in some kind of reality.

Now it's all fucking conspiracy theories, demands to incarcerate or execute people based on their religion or race, death threats against feminists, anti-feminists, Muslims, Jews, Christians, atheists, capitalists, communists, socialists. I actually don't give much of a fuck what people believe. It's the idiocy and the gullibility of people that riles me up, people willing to believe every fucking thing they read on Facebook and Twitter. They just have no input filter anymore, no will to really critically analyse what they read, or hear or think. The world has had its IQ dropped into two-digit realms by fucking social media. It's become cool to be stupid. And honestly, it just makes me want to kill someone.

I will openly say that the pro-Trump crowd is largely to blame for this wave of "post-truth politics", but by engaging in their own propaganda war of lies, the far left have only made it harder for the rest of us to counter the far right. This is the latest that seems to be doing the rounds, and honestly, I wish people would realise that by spreading shit like this, and by rioting in the streets, they're harming the true, good fight. But as I say, nobody seems to be interested in truth now. Truth is boring.

Anyway, had a start on Dark Cloud on the PS4 today, although it's basically literally a straight emulated port of the PS2 version. For those that don't know it, it's Level-5's first ever game (of Professor Layton and Inazuma Eleven fame). For some obscure reason, I was expecting a more traditional narrative-based JRPG, but it's actually more of a straight dungeon crawler with light city builder elements in between. It's actually quite fun to build up the village from the bits you collect in the dungeons, but the dungeon crawling itself is fairly bland and repetitive.

Feeling guilty? Expect nothing better from you:)

Cheers!

Here's something to calm your nerves, TinyE, and please have some beer while watching, its on me XD

Well I throw my opinion in aswell:

I do not consider me as an "active" or "long time" forum member, but there were political topics also some years back and they might have been controversial in fact they often were, but they ended never in shit shows like this year(the way downwards started with galaxy and accelerated with the release of Witcher 3 ).

Perhaps the forum mirrors just the reality that people are more polarized in their political, ethical and moral stances than they were before(put a mainstream media informed person and an alt media informed person together and you will have a shit show).

Perhaps the population of the forum has just grown and like in popular mmos the idiots chime in to crap on everything because they think they are the kings of the world and then they throw shit at each other because there can be just one king in their opinion.

There was no Tauto back then, there was no NES, no Regals, there were no downrepping scripts, there were no people "targeting" forum members likeTinyE is targeted because he is liked by many, gets shit thrown at him by the jealous ones and constantly downrepped from his 1600+ forum rep the whole year.

It was basically a place with a culture of discourse and respect.

I extend olive branch.

Tauto takes olive branch and uses it to pick his nose. :P

Oh yes, I'm playing Torchlight, Dad Space, and Aquanox. Also RA1 because its snowy outside and it's been some years now since last time ;)

I don't believe you.

Is that a game about raising kids in space? Cause I got to tell you, Mars ain't the kind of place to raise your kids.

Best part?

My post in this thread was already downvoted spammed and than removed with bots.

Well, no wonder, if there's only dads there.

Let's keep it CIVIL. ;-)

I never watched the show, but I did like the movie. I never got why it's regarded as so bad. Sure, it's not some ambitious hard sf, but come on - it's fun.
