I was curious and still read the article. It's far far worse than I ever imagined.

Decent game to quit about 30h in because while it's good and fun to play, it's incredibly repetitive.

Science and academia, too. There's way too few papers being published about failed experimemts. "I thought A, so I did B in order to achieve C, but it didn't work out because of D." is a very useful result.

A suit seems like good attire for a showmaster and/or business man

Everspace 2 is really close in terms of combat and overall gameplay, but it lacks the immersive simulation aspects. Freelancers idle radio chatter did some heavy lifting back in the day.

Black tie highly optional

The path of grace is literally a giant yellow floating laser pointing in a general direction. It's not precise, but "subtle" is not exactly the word I would use.

Nuclear is literally the most expensive way to generate energy and no amount of liquid salt or SMR hallucinations can come even close to fixing that problem.

You don't need to create fear of nuclear, it's a bad choice all by itself.

Back when a 4 minute song was like 1.5MB so you could fit more music on your 256MB mp3 player because you could not afford an iPod.

There's the federal volunteer service, which is the spiritual successor. Basically the same thing, but without being forced into it. There also voluntary social or ecological years, which is kind of the same thing as well.

 

I just saw this video in my feed. Darens does a good job of criticizing the objectively terrible "review" that LazyPeon made a few days back.

 

At some point in this millenium, it became ubiquitous in games to ask for a button press before switching to the main menu and it has become a pet peeve off mine.

Why is that there? It's your main menu so ugly that you have to shield players from it? Why can I not double click the game Icon, go to the kitchen to get coffee and return to the PC/console to find myself in the main menu ready to continue my game? Seriously, cui bono? Sometimes, they even show a different screen before that press, which some artist got paid for creating, so the developer is also losing (a tiny amount of) money here.

I honestly just don't get the point of these screens.

Bonus negative points for games that only check DLC after that button press instead of any other point of the losing process. Calling a server could easily be threaded while the game assets are loaded since it takes very little hardware load to do so. But no, I get to wait an additional 10 seconds because the game devs want me to for no apparent reason.

On a related note: just allow players to auto skip intros, please. Just put an checkbox in the settings, so that everyone can see it once.
