I actually called the Nintendo hotline once in the mid-90ies, for Breath of Fire 2... 🤣 So yes, there were actual people on the other side of the line staring at game guides in word format all day!

Wait....the sock costs 230 DOLLARS???

LMAO

Ahhahahahaaaaaaaa 😂
In a way it's great, you can tell who's a dumbass from afar!

750$ would be incredible!

I have a LOT of love for Steam because
- completely unobtrusive app that does what I need and isn't trying to get my attention
- incredibly reliable and stable shop
- no third-party advertisement / paid ads

This is absolutely huge in 2025. The ad space alone they could sell...
Never change 🙏

I thought that company was basically finished....

The problem is it's getting to a point where it's impossible to tell. The greedy talent-free people that flood Amazon with slop are easy to spot right now but there's other ways to do it and the Pandora's box is already opened...

.. and there will probably be entirely new opportunities where a VA for instance can get a lot more gigs because now it's getting automated, more studios can afford it and you have different continuous income streams long-term for licensing your voice for example. Just thinking out loud here.

I don't think this particular discussion has been treated with any nuance. Not all AI equals theft and there's undoubtedly going to be models where artists will profit in new ways. For example building a voice library is no different from a music library? The point is to pay people fairly...

I guess it's okay if you want a shooter where you just jump in for a quick session and log out. The PvE AI seems good but other teams can ambush or snipe you at any time, so there's that. It seems chaotic and hectic to me with the timer.

Congrats 🥳

Agree about Heimer! Altho I prefer to think he did another spacetime jump. 😊
It took me a while to understand the whole Jayce-swap thing and loop theory with the runes in S2. I love time travel stories even if they have their flaws.

Yeah I see. This already shows the complexity of the issue because these things are not the same at all. I would say the first one is the most problematic, certainly not the voice modulator tool for players.
Well...this is our world now 😑 I don't think 2/5 makes any sense either tbf.

ArcaNe lol ....

Still wish they'd had a bit more time in season 2, there's so much going on. Could've done without Isha and Black Rose side stories and instead get more time for the main characters quests.
