He has a habit of spouting complete nonsense, some of which would almost be correct if he wasn't completely missing or ignoring important details. I mean, you can't expect all 18k of those posts to be winners, but I'd at least hope some of them weren't losers.

Looks like I was beaten to it.

Again, wrong, there is no antibiotic that can cure a virus and there certainly is no cure for HIV. There is treatment that can make it easier to live with and more difficult to spread, but that'd be grossly misunderstanding what the drug actually does. You still have HIV even if you're living so comfortably with it that you may as well not have it.

Antibiotics don't do anything because it's a virus. Viruses can't be cured by antibiotics or antifungals because it's not a bacterium or fungus. It's a virus. The only defense against viruses are vaccines and the immune system, and beyond that you can never cure a virus, only treat it. This is a complete myth. Another scaremongering tactic in the long line of sinophobic propaganda that's been flooding western media in recent months, in fact. Wuhan has officially been quarantined, doctors in Wuhan are working around the clock to develop a vaccine and treat patients, and the Chinese government has ordered construction of more hospitals to house the sick. I hate to have to defend China on this one but it's always annoying to see the blame tossed upon them when the media blows any major news story regarding them completely out of proportion.

Criss Angel, now that's a name I haven't heard in ages. edit: holy shit how embarrassing lmfao

hi ducky

Tanked prices are a weird effect of supply and demand, particularly in the case of a product that has infinite supply with no cost of production per unit. Games with insane demand have insane prices (terraria is often only a dollar, portal 2 is often only 2) You wouldn't see a brand new $60 AAA release dropping prices if they relied solely on producing and shipping physical copies for sales, but when a game has zero demand whatsoever, even upon launch, price will plummet just to make any reasonable sales figures because digital copies cost literally nothing to produce. Case in point, not long after launch, you could get Just Cause 3, 4, Mafia 3 for somewhere around $20. Fallout 76 dropped to a paltry $17 (or was it $12?) during the holiday season just weeks after launch to make literally any return on that piece of garbage. It's an issue with bad games and games nobody cares about, you'll rarely see a brand new game like Sekiro or NieR Automata drop below $50 during a sale, at least not until a year or so post-release.

all i'm saying is that color design is a hell of a lot more complex than just broadening a palette. you can make a game look good with fewer colors if you know why those colors need to be there. you know this judging by that saboteur screenshot, but frankly, black and red is rarely an interesting color palette. then again, dunno why i'm responding if i'm likely to also just get blocked and shot down.

Colorblindness is quite common, 1 in every 12 men suffer from some form of it. I bring this up because you're complaining a lot about games that are actually quite vibrant and colorful, and over-representation of colors that aren't over-represented. Consider getting your eyes checked. That said, you're also quite demanding when it comes to color design. You can complain about Battlefield 3 having a blue tinge to it, but it's aesthetically appropriate and doesn't really look bad, especially if you're like me and really like soft, cool color palettes and find them relaxing.

I have a favorite for every year and that's basically what my top 10 is. 2010, Fallout: New Vegas 2011, Dark Souls 2012, Hotline Miami 2013, Battlefield 4 2014, Dark Souls 2 2015, Undertale 2016, Stardew Valley 2017, NieR: Automata 2018, this one depends on if you want to count technically unfinished games. Deltarune if yes, Celeste if no. 2019, Resident Evil 2

probably the fact that it's incredibly simple and convenient to use and has lots of neat and useful features? soulless is a weird thing to criticize a chat platform for being.
