I went back to my old forum haunt after a 10 year absence recently, very surprised to see it’s still kicking, though a bit less active. Nice to talk to some old friends lol

Last time, I apologized and said I should have realized (I should have), and my friend and I got into a two-day argument about whether it was a sincere apology or not. I finally asked what I did to deserve being accused of lying and he just said “well if I had said that I’d mean it manipulatively, so I assumed you did”. So apologizing in that scenario is taken as manipulative, right?

I mean… I think you did the right thing here. Hard to say without any context, but your friends kinda sound like dicks, like really taking offense at small things that really don’t matter that much.

Sorry, not sure what you should do with this take, just that maybe the problem is not entirely you.

Or a game removed from being purchased entirely because of music licensing issues

What in the fuck

I hope you know how lucky you are

Or perhaps Empoisoned: Swumbles Big Jumble

Well now I gotta play Balatro

I appreciate the name strudel-fatpaws

While it’s not ideal there is something actively played out there, with plenty of custom maps and kind of recent…

I’ll copy-paste a previous comment about it here:

Though development is long dead, the servers were taken offline recently and it was delisted by Epic, people are still playing the Unreal Tournament pre-alpha (commonly called UT4) which you can get here: https://www.ut4ever.org/downloads

You’ll also need to register an account here and merge it with an Epic account: https://ut4.timiimit.com/Instructions/UT4UU

The download should come with the unofficial update which gives access to the private servers, I play on the Unreal Carnage servers regularly which often gets 8-15 players at a time, more than enough for some deathmatch. Would love to see some more people around!

(Mind I’m in New Zealand, which is why my ping is so high, the netcode handles it well somehow)

For god’s sake, I just want a shooter with simple deathmatch!

looks at Wolfenstein

Uuuhh, sorry what?

this is territory Smite has been treading for years.

And Paragon/Predecessor

Shit, now I remember something like this from somewhat recently…

How dare you curse me with this

Gay furry weeb mario game you say…

Custom levels?

You have my curiosity

I’m rather unfamiliar with this game and even I know a remaster would not have done well

A king may stare at any ass he wants

Hear hear

Early access doesn’t necessarily mean bad. 2 of my favourite games this year have been Core Keeper and Timberborn. Both early access, got more than 100 hours in both and I’m definitely not halfway through either. They’re great as they are and updates are coming to improve them. I do agree though you have to be very wary of what game you choose to support, I have been burned before by a developer that took the money and ran. Fuck you Code{}atch, I’ll never forgive you.

The only good thing about the security industry in my country is all breaks are paid. However if there is a security emergency on your break you need to drop everything and sort it, as these things tend to be time sensitive.

That said do NOT get into the security industry, workers are treated terribly by the public and higher ups, if you can imagine.

For a game from 2024 this looks very standard to me. Assuming this is correct I’d get about the performance I would expect from my hardware.
