That's exactly what came immediately to mind for me as well.

Russia intentionally bombed a ton of civilian targets with zero military value. It's weird that you don't remember this. There's even a lengthy Wikipedia article specifically about it: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attacks_on_civilians_in_the_Russian_invasion_of_Ukraine

It's not, but do you think we're giving away cutting edge military tech or not developing that cutting edge tech that obsoletes the stuff we're giving away regardless? It doesn't really have a lot of value to the US rotting away in warehouse storage.

Note that I'm not saying this in support of Israel nor am I well enough informed to know if this even applies there. It definitely applies to Ukraine aid, though.

Cheating on his wife was reprehensible, but not really impeachment-worthy. Did it make any difference in his ability to govern? Nope. But sure, if it didn't happen in his second term, I'm not going to say you shouldn't have been allowed to consider it for whether or not you should vote for his reelection.

Yeah, I do wish they had variation within the prefabs they did have. That would have helped a lot.

I'm similarly hoping Creation Kit mods breathe some life into the variety of surface procgen stuff.

Honestly, I think it's a bigger problem to be stigmatising oral sex like this. But you're entitled to your opinion, and no hard feelings.

EDIT: I should add that an unrelated metaphor, saying something/someone "sucks dick", does apply to your argument, and I would agree that it's disparaging. Perhaps you're confusing your fellatio metaphors.

It's normally a desirable thing being done to an undeserving party, which is exactly the colloquial use of the metaphor and why it's used in a negative context. I don't have a problem with sucking dick, personally.

There's nothing inherently gay about sucking dick. And yeah, Witcher 3 was definitely buggy on launch, particularly for consoles what with the crashing, and while it was marginally more stable on PC (sounds familiar, right?), there was a massive controversy about them silently downgrading PC graphics between the trailers and launch.

Sometimes it feels like people had the entirely unrealistic expectation that they were going to be landing on Planet Skyrim and wander around a handcrafted world full of quests. And then have a completely new experience of the same scale on the rest of the 999 planets.

It was clearly put in to play interspersed with the questlines and for some endgame looting, but some people wanted to be able to just wander planets endlessly as if it could possibly have the scale of content that would make it worth playing like that. Maybe they'll come back when modding lets them insert hundreds of new POI prefabs off the workshop into the procgen pool.

So was Witcher 3 at launch, but that doesn't stop all the people with goldfish memory from sucking its dick either.

Cyberpunk's launch shouldn't even have been that much of a surprise. People set their expectations for Cyberpunk's launch based on Witcher 3 after it had years of post-launch work put into it, not based on how Witcher 3 launched.

That last bit is particularly true. Every game I play doesn't need to be the best game I've ever played for me to enjoy it.

I mean, I actually like the game, but I will say that anyone that thought it deserved GOTY awards is delusional and presumably in a tiny minority to think it. It wasn't even plausible that it would even win best RPG when it came out the same year as Baldur's Gate 3. Starfield may not be a terrible game, but it's definitely not great either. It's thoroughly mediocre.
