Can we go back to when every technology was just weaponized instead? No? This is somehow worse.

That they put in, to force people to buy the MTX instead of modding the game.

Add ActiBlizz and Epic for me.

I instantly picked up SimCity 3000 there, it's literally the first computer game I've ever played! It was practically free and runs well. Might grab the C&C collection too, I didn't play those back in the day.

Not in a good way.

Flying sea-rats

I used to think I'd move if old.reddit died, but I migrated here much sooner when the whole API debacle happened, and I don't know if many people who still care are still in there.

Both, it's both.

Literally never heard of it. Also, yeah, when I see Paradox I can only think of their terrible DLC practices, which turn me away from most of their games.... except the ones made by Harebrained Schemes, Battletech was great. Guess there won't be a sequel.

I like almost everything on this plan, except for the last 2 items. The account requirements for "extra activities" best be chosen carefully as to not encourage the good old "karma farming" that we got away from in leaving Reddit.
And the ML thing for recognizing NSFW is also something to be carefully considered. Too strict and it gets annoying with false positives, it can restrict posting actual content, and too lax won't make a difference for the people actually looking to circumvent it. I think a "vetting" system like the previous item could be better in the long run, in only letting "trusted" people upload content.

As an AC veteran greatly enjoying the new game after many years waiting, I feel vindicated.

And don't worry about sucking at this game! Even I had to spend 6 hours fighting Balteus to finally defeat it. Stick with the game, try different builds until something works for you.

We get over one bullshit situation with grifters trying to make a quick buck through a scam, only to land on another one. Absolutely amazing.
