Except that Ground Zeroes exists and also Episode 46 of Phantom Pain. This would actually have made sense if ...

But that didn't happen. No, Hideo and Konami were just idiots about it starting with Ground Zeroes.

Pffff, and if there are protests happening they HAVE to go deal with that to ensure it's unnecessarily escalated and people are oppressed.

Won't SOMEbody think of the poor pigs?

This is why I sometimes enjoy Ubisoft trash. Especially Ghost Recon Wildlands and Breakpoint. Just the same old shit on a massive map, an okay story, fun gameplay. Easy. Simple. Nice for mindless bullshit.

For an RPG, try Kingdoms of Amalur Re-reckoning.

Isn't that already named? Like, "French" I think they call it.

They should not have it near the max fill line right after a change. Certainly not all the oil has settled and more will. Especially if they put oil in the filter before adding it like they should. If it's near max, then I guarantee more than max is actually inside there. There's a reason there's a range that's acceptable.

Even worse they say "the wife." I've met a few of those. Could not believe they actually talk that way.

Up there with people who use "female" far too much. Especially "females."

I rememeber this controversy. I also played the game.

There is a scene in the game where Jodie goes to shower, and it creatively never shows anything. It's a normal scene that isn't controversial at all. To be clear, Jodies character is NEVER intentionally shown nude in this game.

Some people with certain Playstation 3's were able to use it to scrape game files in a way where they could see the character model in full, which was "nude."

I don't believe the studio made literally every nude thing on the body in detail, I think it was your typical base nude body, enough to have a game asset or character model.

I specifically recall the studio pointing out that this was a generic nude body made for the game character the way they would for any made-up game asset, and in no way were they looking at and recreating or using Page's body for it. Of course Page was harassed by assholes and was upset I think.

I can understand the studio not simply wanting a floating head as they're trying to make the movements and scene seem realistic. I can also understand Page being upset at the entire situation and possibly feeling betrayed.

On a different note. This was never my kind of game. I feel like this studio should simply make movies.

I don't know why but the story seemed interesting so I rented and played it fully one weekend back closer to its release. That's why I remember all this. Despite the fact the gameplay style absolutely is NOT for me, this was an incredibly well made game with an excellent story.

It was a highly memorable time I stepped outside my usual comfort zone.

I also believe Page was one of the first major actors to do a video game this seriously to this level early on. Props to them for such a great acting job on something typically seen as risky back then. Also Willem Dafoe had a supporting role in this too and he was also excellent.

Definitely recommend a play on sale since it's a great story and unique point in gaming history with respect to game design and style.

What about the pressure sensitive buttons from PS2? Those MGS games really needed that feature.

Countless times I can buy an older game on Steam for like $5 on sale and like $40 on Playstation sale.

Fucking idiotic.

I want qualified people, not popular people.

See coroner's vs. medical examiners. One is a fucked up way of doing things.

Which time?

There's so much. Another one I learned more about in recent years is the horrible testing on Puerto Ricans, including the sterilizations.

For anyone interested, today there are excellent graphic novels about some of these topics, like Kent State and Puerto Rico Strong. I would encourage people as these are excellent ways to learn more about these topics. Some local libraries have them sometimes.

Gotta give VP Dick his credit where due.

How sweet that you think the US ever had its way.

Skipping the obvious bullshit of the last 25 years, there was Anita Hill, and Rodney King, Reaganomics, Reagan racism, Nancy "I don't give a fuck about this until it affects me" Reagan, then Kent State and our military just straight up murdering our kids, Nixon, CIA killings of prominent activists, murder of a president, McCarthyism, that whole anti-immigration/racism era where white Americans rammed god and their view of patriotism in everything (people today STILL think those things were there since the beginning), union and strike busting, child labor, failed reconstruction era, more president's killed, "compromises" over fucking slavery, wannabe King Jackson not giving a shit about other human beings nor any possible check on power or anyone else's ideas, a fucking Vice President shot a guy (the first time), begging the first president to be King, and failed attempts at presidency and democracy before that (pre-constitution).

I really glossed over a lot too.

Few or many diseases depending on how I spend it.

as long as you own the game, emulation is legal.

People say this, but I believe it is mostly technically untrue. It'd be a relatively easy argument to say that a downloaded ROM that isn't exactly the digital copy YOU purchased with a license would be seen as not legal.

However some people talk about literally ripping the game off the physical device themselves, hence copying their own copy of it. Now you are in grey territory of making copies of copyrighted materials, and in the case of more modern games like the last decade, they almost assuredly have language that specifies you don't actually own the code and all that.

All I'm saying is be careful and probably refrain from repeating the fallacy that owning a game makes emulation of it legal, because that implies having the ROM is legal and that's doubtful.

Do you hunt for all of your food and cook it from absolute scratch?

I bet you sometimes use a grocery store.

Is that hawk tuah girl?

50 years now. Wages and productivity separated in the 70s.

Butternuts!
