It wasn’t broken as hell after like two weeks of development when the critical glitches like save corruption were getting fixed. As someone who didn’t overhype the game for a decade and only bought it because I knew everyone else was going to, I had a great time. It was just cool to hate the game up until the anime dropped and everyone suddenly forgot they hated it.
Even if the obvious situation wasn’t just “companies treat us terribly so we don’t care about them,” why would anyone want to work? Am I supposed to desire wasting a third of my life doing labor? Fuck no, I support automation and UBI.
It’s just another dumb boomer insult trying to step on the nerves of people who didn’t grow up huffing leaded gasoline.
If anything, the real laughing is all of the stuff we’ve been doing to fuck with reddit anyway. Destroying subs, burning posts and comments, deleting accounts.
Leaving.
I think it was the right call overall, but I wish they’d started with C++ from the get-go. The game would probably be out by now and they could be working on things like a mobile port while the long-content starved Minecraft community would have something brand-spanking new to check out and explore.
But things happen, I’m just excited to see the fruits of their labor in the future.
I’ve been playing Yakuza 5 and, as always, I cannot recommend this series enough. There’s a pretty large quality drop-off going from Kiwami 2 to Yakuza 3 Remastered, but at minimum Yakuza 0, Kiwami, and Kiwami 2 are all worth playing 100% and after the hurdle of 3 it gets great again.
The stories are well-paced crime thrillers, the characters are interesting, the combat manages to feel good without just being another Arkham clone, and the games being set in Japan makes it a fun experience to walk through as someone who doesn’t live there. They’re a blast. Not on sale at the moment, but the Steam Summer Sale starts tomorrow.
Tbh I usually just use it to play games on a bigger screen with a Bluetooth controller when I’m bored, Nintendo Switch style. There are plenty of console-style mobile games + streaming services that can make it a pretty good time killer if I’m the only one in a waiting room or something.
Except they have outright removed a bunch. All but two of the r/TIHI mods were purged, as an example.
