I always considered Birth by Sleep to be the last good entry to the series. Admittedly I never played the actual game of 358/2 and only got the cinematic version from the collection.

I was a massive fan of 1 and 2 as a kid and did a full series playthrough prior to the release of 3. I had a blast through BBS, but my god it was a slough in the later games(including 3).

He might be legally pseudo protected by twitch having minimum age requirements.

Unless it was a few very specific US states, this isn’t really relevant. The minimum age to sign up for an account on Twitch is 13.

You have to go more Im13andthisisdeep with it:

‘When a set has no elements we call it empty. It’s always unique, but contains nothing inside it. What is something else in your life that is also so simple and empty, yet utterly unique?’

Then you wait for a hundred replies, 50 listing various containers that are special to them and the other 50 telling you it’s their soul that’s empty.

I understand being frustrated with f2p shenanigans and microtransactions, but I think that frustration is blinding you to some of the bigger picture issues at play. I agree that microtransactions are a problem, but honestly fps games are one of the few genres where I would say a f2p and live-service model actually makes the most sense.

Before the prevalence of battle passes most games followed the CoD model where a new game would be released every year or two and you would be forced to buy it because the player population of the older game would die off drastically. With live-service it allows the dev to still update games and gives players a reason to keep coming back every season to keep playing a game. An fps game is only as healthy as how large and diverse in terms of skill range its player population has.

I’m also excited for Deadlock though. It will hopefully keep doing everything right that Battleborne failed at and looks really fun.

You kind of just explained exactly why the game failed without realizing it. You’re exhausted and bored with the genre as a whole and a new flavor of the same games that already exist isn’t innovative enough to entice new players. We’ve seen a long line of hero shooters that were dead on arrival because they have nothing new to offer and Concord is no different.

It released in a saturated market with better and more mature options already available, for free. They also barely marketed the game at all. I don’t know how any of this can be a surprise.

Okay wow. This was really uncalled for. What did I ever do to you?

I’m not even going to bother reading what you wrote.

Not every question is directed personally at you.

If you literally just use your preferential search engine you will find that the top result gives you the answer you seek to who the person OP is referring to. Just because you do not know someone does not mean that they don’t meet a specific magic threshold that needs to be met in order for someone to ask questions.

The user above is wrong. Blocking is only one-directional and you won’t see comments and posts from them any longer, but they still see the things you posts.

Let me know how your back feels in the morning

The way it was always explained to me was anything containing even a small amount of caffeine was problematic. I appreciate you correcting me on this.

They’re serious about following the rules because their entire social and community structure stresses conformity. If you break the norms of the faith there are serious repercussions and you can lose your entire family, community, and support structure. When they’re alone with others who aren’t of the faith they are definitely far more lax. I’ve drank beer and even had chocolate with Mormons before lol.

I have family in Utah and there’s a pretty common joke in this vein.

Why do you always invite two Mormons to a party?

Because if you only invite one they will drink all your beer.

I’ve tried Google’s suggestion of water/vinegar and a bit of dish soap in a bottle, but they don’t seem to go for it at all.

Someone correct me if I’m wrong, but I always thought this method was only geared for fruit flies, not houseflys.

Flypaper strips can be effective depending on the severity and location of the issue and are fairly cheap. It won’t be 100% effective, but it might help. Just be very careful about where you place it if you have any pets or children.

They are not being informed that their actual email account is compromised. They are simply being told that their email address and an associated password was located in some csv file somewhere.

You use your email as an identifier/username by default for numerous services so without them specifying anything further this information isn’t exceptionally meaningful. If you use the same password for your email provider as you do other services, then you’ve got bigger problems(Please don’t do this)

Well at least it’s clear you only want to know this so you can troll, I’m sorry, I mean “avoid censorship.”

on a large scale doesn’t this mostly protect people from dangerous debts?

Not really. It just ends up with lenders offering far more predatory interest rates, which worsens the situation for the debtor. The system is set up in such a way that you can spiral pretty hard with a single misstep.

There’s a difference between wanting to have good credit so that you can benefit from a garbage system and wanting that system to exist in the first place.

I’m glad it works for you, but I always hated getting to work very sweaty and then being smelly for the rest of the day when I biked.
