It super isn’t. Pizza is still alright in my experience, but everywhere that has fried chicken tastes significantly worse than it used to.

Oh it absolutely has. I don’t eat much fast food, but it’s absolutely gotten worse. I prefer fried chicken if I’m eating trash food and i have to assume the oil has gotten way worse.

It’s new. That’s all. YouTube is just a Google skinsuit and Google prioritizes new over everything else.

I assume you already know Trump is leading an out right cult, but the broader Republican party (in whatever form they still exist) is also very cult like. Truth has no place here and it won’t affect anything. They’ll never have the realization you might about leaders.

God we really are beyond fucked, aren’t we?

Ares macrotechnology. Guns, cars, space, a private military/police force, and ‘Mom and Apple pie.’

Any technically not allowed. Not that that’ll stop them.

Unironically that might be the best possible thing he could do.

Then why play dragon age? I wouldn’t be happy if mass effect abandoned it’s fans to cater to my tastes, that’s fucked up.

Would it be better to become a darkspawn or die? Generally I’d prefer a series cater to the heart of the series instead of fuck off into an unwanted and disconnected direction.

A new era of bad games. Look at Pokemon, those games are almost always bad now, but because it’s already popular it’ll never improve or go away.

I feel like the story has good ideas but ultimately fails, personally. I like the idea of struggling against inevitable tragedy, but when the cause of such tragedy was against always immediately in arms reach of you and caused by a single person it falls flat.

Access journalism. If you agree to say whatever EA wants EA gives you first access to the next game, which increases your views. Idk the exact process for this game, but big publishers often bribe these reviewers with expensive vacations too (it’s why they fly journalists out to demo the game instead of sending the outlets a digital demo), Bethesda did it with 76 for instance.

Stupid, but maybe stupid in a good way? Right wing grifters target kids all the time, if a moderate acknowledges them maybe they’ll be less likely to fall into a pipeline.

I mean, this trailer really papers over the bad parts. If i didn’t already see the original trailer and the gameplay i could be taken in by it. That said, i did see those, so I’m just gonna watch EA put bioware down from a distance.

Consoles have gone almost nowhere since the xbox, of course they aren’t going to be generating infinite growth. The ps5 controller is the first change in consoles I’ve seen in years that was genuinely interestingv outside of graphical quality. Nintendo is, of course, an exception to that. Every console they release is either genuinely different to the last or meaningfully upgraded, other business practices aside.

Wishing for the death of verifiably evil people is perfectly fine, healthy, and normal.

I mean, legally yeah, but otherwise it seems pretty good to me

Anyone who well and truly enjoys their job has severe mental issues that need to be worked out. Why would someone give effort towards something that won’t ultimately reward them? It’s not their project, it’s not their company, it’s not their passion.
