I like pretty things.
I say dumb things a lot.
I like RPGs, MMOs and Gacha. I'm literally the worst.

Name a country that wasn't founded that way. This nonsense is just tiresome.

It honestly still sickens me to this day. Yes Joe was an old man and slurred his speech but you always knew his mind was still sharp and "there". Trump's mind is actually gone, there's nothing left in there and he can't even form sentences most of the time.

He has but he used to be able to hold clear, back and forth conversations with people. He used to be able to consider information presented to him.
All of that is gone now. His deteriorating mind is a legitimate danger to America and the world.

The same people that say he's mentally well would be calling for Joe Biden to be put in a retirement home for slurring his words slightly. Sometimes my head spins at the hypocrisy that so many people just pretend is okay and normal.
Trump is mentally unwell. He is not fit for office.

Please be patient they are busy creating a war and scrubbing the files to protect a bunch of rich old white rapists and pedophiles.

Exactly. The most infuriating aspect of these moments are how reporters just shrink from this bully and let him go on unchallenged. He's just a typical bully and has shown he'll back down when confronted.

Because it's actually eye-opening if you talk to them how often their ideas can align with Democrat principles and beliefs but there's this miasma of Republican nonsense that skews it all towards them. Democrats can win them back but it will take effort and treating them like people again.

Sad too because generally they are nice people but decades of Republican conditioning have ruined their perspective. That's partly the fault of Democrats that all but abandoned them long ago and left them to be inundated with Republican propaganda. I hope the party tries to regain ground there.

Especially considering there's a lot of well priced prebuilts that use "real" components, not like the old days of locked down OEM systems. Only thing I warn people of is the power supplies, those are often what gets cheaped out on but they are still inexpensive if you need or want to replace.

Yeah things are getting very grim for normal people out there.

Well that can also be taken in another way you know. Excitement around your game and genuinely offering suggestions that they think would make it better. It doesn't always have to be a negative. A lot of suggestions come from people that want to enjoy your game for a long time and want it to grow.

It may be petty but I really wish everyone wouldn't play along with this "Department of War" nonsense.

The problem is when it comes time to really press any advantage he shrinks back. Rinse, repeat.

This seems to ignore all context of the game stories themselves and just judges raw word count. FF6 for example, arguably the two most important characters in that game are Celes and Terra and they are treated as such. This is such a weird presentation honestly and feels dishonest.

It's no coincidence those two characters were either bad or the circumstances were just extremely stupid. Plenty of Female characters are extremely popular in XIV, especially among the Scions who often share the spotlight.

The whole play is a penalty from start to finish it needs to be done away with. Imagine thinking NFL refs could officiate it properly in the first place when they can't get basic stuff right most of the time.

They didn't say that was the cause, they used that example to show why the Japanese SE is out of touch with the global market. And their "record breaking game" is currently floundering and bleeding players largely because of said issues among others. I play it so I know.

I really enjoyed Tales from the Borderlands, probably my favorite Borderlands game actually so if it compares to that I may give it a look!

Not if you have realistic expectations. Nobody is going to dethrone WoW and FFXIV. Find a niche in the market and stay there. Gulid Wars 2 has done it effectively for many years.

A real shame. It seems New World was turning it around with the latest expansion being well received. Probably not good news for Lost Ark either sadly. It really sucks for all those people.
