Deus Ex GOTY

My favourite area is New Reno. Casinos, hookers, and you can even become a pornstar if you have the sex appeal perk.

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided Getting close to the end now I think.

Damn, I'm kinda glad I don't share that point of view... No offense. I'll just keep bringing up the fact that microtransactions don't necessarily ruin a game, it all depends on how they are implemented. I agree they're kinda pointless in Mankind Divided, but at the same time, that just makes me ignore them completely. In CoD: Black Ops 3 there are microtransactions but you can choose not to actually spend real money and instead use CoD points that you earn by playing matches. So far I've bought a ton of loot but never really spent any money. As long as things aren't acting as paywalls and not forcing you to spent money, I honestly don't mind. I personally don't want to have such a negative outlook on AAA games. Just saying.

I haven't paid for a single microtransaction so far...

9/10 A little too small and hard to read but otherwise nice

Banned for calling me a paradox.

"I think I may have a stroke."

Pretty much just resting and chillaxing.

Yesterday it went from scorching hot to chilly and today it's been humid as fuck...

Got checked out last night at the local clinic. Sounds like I've had a mild concussion and I'm gonna take it easy for a day. Update: Still feeling a bit out of it but I'm managing. Hopefully it won't last for a long time.

Banned cause I'm nobody's boss.

We've survived pretty harsh situations. We've survived the plague, we've survived natural disasters that wiped out entire cities and islands. We're diverse enough to sustain for quite a while longer I think, and we are capable of adapting to situations. Will things get worse? Undoubtedly. But I think we can adapt to the changes. I'm an optimist in general.

She's gonna have a boring life...

Banned cause I am my own boss. Or you can be if you wanna..

Blood 1 and 2 are infamous for letting you slaughter innocents and eat their hearts for health. Kind of badass in retrospect.

Yeah, the backlash Square Enix received about the whole "augment your order" thing made them just decide to roll all the preorder bonuses up into the digital deluxe edition which they should've done to begin with. The fact it never became a thing makes complaining about it kind of pointless. And I'm not trying to say what you guys should or should not do, just voicing my opinion.

It's technically not unused. There is a way to trigger it in-game.

Making some dinner and gonna play some games.

I love Fallout 2 because of how random it is, personally.

Of course, I'm not saying I endorse the addition and agree the game could've used some more polish and optimization rather than adding microtransactions. Just saying they don't have much impact on the game for me and thus I don't really care they are there.

Banned for flirting

Ironically for me, patches made the stability worse. I decided to start up a second playthrough of Invisible War recently just because I'm a bit of a masochist, and found that on Windows 10, the only version I could get running was the original 1.0 version directly off my CD copy of the game. If I install the 1.1 patch, the game will start, but fail to start a new game or load any existing saves, and if I install the 1.2 patch, the game won't even start. On the plus side, v1.0 has been stable enough to be generally playable. I'm near the end of the game and have only had two crashes to desktop, and one case where some sort of glitch was preventing the game from starting up. Rebooting fixed that problem. I remember by some kind of miracle I got the game running on Windows 7 (for ages I couldn't even get it started). I have no idea what I did to it but I did get it going. I wonder if it will still run on Windows 10 for me. I intend to find out.

I think despite the fact we are headed down a downward spiral, it's always gonna be about managing the resources. As long as we can make do with what we have, we'll find a way to survive. For now I'd say managable but in the future... hard to say.

Probably because flat earth believers believe in something that has been factually proven wrong, while you still can't prove that God does or does not exist so it remains an abstract concept.
