I would actually just settle for not pre ordering AAA games as a good place to start.

Mine is 7 months old now. I felt the same. Just wait, you’ll likely feel that it was the best thing you ever did. Your kid may be the one to drive some positive change. Just do the best you can and give yourself some grace.

What a fucking badass.

I’m with you. The intro was pretty lackluster, the main campaign doesn’t interest me at all, and new Atlantis kinda sucks imo

Then I joined the crimson fleet and suddenly 50 hours was gone.

They’re my squishy boots

spread open your wallets

I’m dead

I leave that shit off currently.

My wife, however, thrives on it. That’s the game for her - recovering and rebuilding.

Would drive me nuts.

I’ve participated in the alpha and now the closed beta, which launched today.

The game is just a big cozy grind… an mmo stardew valley. So far it’s been super enjoyable.

Happy to answer any questions anyone has as the NDA ended officially.

Beautiful! Lucky enough to live around there. What a great reminder to appreciate the views that are so easy to take for granted.

Thanks for sharing!

Played 2 games in beta. Then uninstalled 1. Just ripped the band-aid off. It was dead.

OW2 killed what was perfect. It deserves to rot.

Saying “we’re not engaging at all” makes it clear that whether the feedback is positive, negative, seen, or not - a reaction will not be provided. This keeps the community managers from getting into the mud with the rest of the pigs and creates a bit of a barrier for audiences.

It may not seem logical but neither are the people sending death threats to game developers on Reddit. More of a psychological wall to create perceived space.

Newborns are fragile as fuck. When we were in the hospital after having hours, a nurse on the first night put the baby in her basinet, but had rolled up a swaddle into a roll to make a little pillow for her.

In the middle of the night, another nurse came in to take the baby for routine tests and freaked the fuck out that there was something elevating the baby’s head. Just doing that could block/misalign the airways from the head tilt. My wife explained what happened. It was a whole big thing and we never saw that original nurse again the five nights we were in there.

Damn, tbh I didn’t realize he was still around. Back in 2008 or so, in the 360 days, he’d pop up every month or so in the Xbox dashboard and show case new games or hype up project natal or whatever. Those were magical times. o7

It’s really incredible that we’ve reached a point in society where all problems have been solved and we have the space, time, and energy to focus on things like this. Really proud of our older generations and their focus on priorities.

Okay but, like, here’s the ultimate test of best friendship, Anas:

Coke or Pepsi?

On steam you can get the complete game for just a little over $300! What a deal /s

Wow, that’s beautiful. I am currently saving to visit Ireland in 2024. Thanks for posting!

Absolutely agree. The optimist in me wants to be excited for what this means and how this could impact the future of, well, the Internet.

But then I remember this is Meta we’re taking about. They do not do things that are good for anyone but Meta. As someone who doesn’t use meta products, this brings concern.

I think you’re underestimating evil.

Competition is for losers.
