Sacrifice. I am so sad it didn’t have a bigger impact than it did. What an amazing game.

I started working in games around 2006, and up until the mid 2010’s it was a regular occurrence for designers to use NWN modules as their resumes.

I think bg3 would do even better for people, very excited.

EXPLOITING EQUITY: HOW THE PIONEER INSTITUTE CO-OPTS THE CONCEPT OF SOCIAL JUSTICE

As another poster said, we used words like pr0n, and one that I personally have never used either of that replaces the “er” ending of a word with “a.”

Hell, half of the time we used l33tsp33k was to avoid using specific words.

This is not a new thing.

Man, can you even still download that? Man, it’s the only programme I can think of that I never had an issue with. Even the default skin is so usable.

I still use, Jesus, version 5 or something. Nothing has managed to be as handy as old winamp.

I believe it’s:

It would take “you get fucking shot” long for them to figure out it was Air Bud?

The current government is trying to add things fairly quickly, the absentee owner law is in effect, and they did just add another 20% ‘flipper’ tax. As mentioned though, people still own way too many houses. My current landlord owns 7.

Just wanted to quickly point out - there’s likely nothing for 1.35 million in Vancouver. There are in greater Vancouver though.

And yes, 100% out of control.

The cheapest home I could find in my hometown of Vancouver, BC is:

If the games stayed I’d check it out, but having a game for a few months isn’t something I find value in, which tends to be what people I’ve spoken with about it. Especially since you don’t choose the games.

Also, seriously the PC app is absolutely awful. The games work worse on it than on steam. It crashes, has terrible performance, and break installs constantly.

You also can’t mod a lot of these games, which particularly on PC is a pretty large missing piece.

That’s also not to mention the cost has doubled in two years.

You’re allowed to enjoy it, but I think it’s also clear why it isn’t taking off.

The reason people I know tend to give for not using GamePass is you’re essentially paying for demos (which still exist on PC pretty often. I just bought Roboquest because of the demo.)

EDIT: Also, $12/month is a huge amount of money for me to spend on something like that. Just shy of 150/year for games that aren’t good enough to own, but are good enough to play, doesn’t strike me as valuable.

One thing I read (a lot, oddly) is that GamePass is ‘really popular’/the most popular ‘subscription’ service, but I have never met anyone who uses it.

I checked the numbers of people using GamePass, and it seems the numbers have gone:

2021 - 23 million

2022 - 25 million

2023 - there was a brief post on linkedin saying 30 million, but it was removed.

If even the most popular service is struggling to pass 30 million users, how exactly is Ubisoft going to compete? There’s what, 120 million people with Xbox subscriptions, and they can barely get 1/4 of them to use GamePass?

It’s interesting to watch ‘AAA’ studios absolutely faceplanting every year now, hopefully we can make a full indie-sweep soon.

I’d suggest reading the Poison Elves comics to start. Just know the creator died with it being on cliffhanger

I’m still upset about that, and shocked to see someone else who’s read it, haha.

I can’t find the original, but this has the audio from the original meme.
