Different strokes to different folks. Perhaps my longer experience with games makes me more blasé with the mechanics or other features of BotW. I found FC3 and BotW equally tedious in terms of core gameplay loop, except FC3, actually had a plot and occasional sublime moments that made finishing it less of a chore. BotW is an empty sandbox with a handful of enemies (even less if you consider more HP and different colour as not counting as new enemies) and forgettable characters and story. The technical side of it is quite impressive as is the visual design, however everything else is painfully mid.

That said, I disliked the combat in TW3 or the Batman and Spider Man series for being too floaty and unresponsive so, I’m overly picky I guess.

*uses change.org instead of the EU mechanism to submit petitions to the parliament…

This has to have been made by an American living in Europe.

I played FarCry 3 forever ago and to this day I remember the plot and Vaas Montenegro. I remeber Siegmeyer of Catarina, from DS which for all intents and purposes has a not so intelligible story. This just to name a few. I spent the same amount of hours on BotW as FC3 much more recently and can’t for the life of me remember any characters. I found them bland and uninteresting. That’s just me and I completely understand people who love it.

I like how people just chose to believe the “trust me bro” attitude from bluesky’s leadership on web3.0 monetization when their investors quite literally have a track record of doing so. We’ve collectively learned nothing for the past 3 decades.

Honestly never thought I’d live long enough to see Idiocracy become a documentary.

It’s an unpopular opinion but as I see it, TOTK is wildly overrated, as is BotW. Yes, they are very polished and certainly good games but the 10/10 across the board made me doubt my sanity. The latest Zeldas are basically Ubisoft open worlds with a couple mechanics borrowed from Garry’s mod. It’s fun the first few hours but the lack of variety and absence of any writing really make it dull IMHO. I managed to finish BotW for the novelty and the occasional detail (the lightning hitting you when holding metal is a nice touch) but I’d die if my life depended on me remembering any character interactions. BG3 Otoh, not only is it also very polished, it has sublime combat and absolutely unforgettable characters. Truly a masterpiece.

Bluesky is truth social for the other side of the spectrum. Quite happy both sides are leaving mastodon alone.

Fuck America and their tip culture. It’s pure cancer and it’s spreading.

Next, “apartheid” will be anti-Semitic.

Deadnaming is NEVER ok, even if the target is a cunt like jenner.

Ragebait on lemmy… Ugh

Short answer: Yes

Long answer: It’s an item in the collective bargain agreement so, yes!

Reality would be funnier than fiction were it not for the corpses being piled up for the sake of capitalism.

I’d be reluctant to trust an outlet that has a story about a CIA conspiracy to promote homosexuality on the same page as OP’s titular post. Sadly, lemmy (like reddit) in general, for now, has a pretty low standard when it comes to linked news. That said, the Zionist lobby is very much a real, documented and registered (with lobbyists and think tanks) phenomenon of the anglosphere. The media bias in favour of Israel (in direct contrast to what’s happening in E Europe) is very much a product of the fact that Israel is one of the last bastions of western colonialism and a very useful lightning rod for antagonists in the surrounding countries which allows shipping through the suez canal to be mostly left alone.

What the actual fuck is this outlet? Benzinga? Is this AI only?
