Suggesting it’s outsourcing relationships is a bit of a leep. Early adopters using this are going to be using this as a replacement for prostitution which is already generally illegal or a replacement for isolate masturbation

A good question to ask yourself is whether I’d the tool or the software. A bot using AI to me is not that different from trying to have an intimate connection with an AI without the hardware.

And this already exists. people are already using AI to accidentally or purposely create friendship or romantic partner substitutes.

There strawman teenagers from the experience of being one. Not like I randomly hate people

Yes, no adult can empathise with ever being a teen. Feel like this post exemplifies the “no one understands” when literally every adult has already been deeply affected by it. Yet for most people becoming an adult is the realization that adults are no different from anyone else they are still just dealing with their life as it comes along

It’s the newspaper that is off-putting

I don’t think it’s too controversial to suggest that 5e mechanics are not the strength of BG3. It would be arguably praised more if it kept the world design of BG3 and replaced the combat to have the spell scope of DO2 with the basic actions of 5e (aka shove, which arguably BG3 tweaked anyway to make it fun in combat)

I’ll miss the design approach of the game but BG3 was just a big advertisement to how good a D:OS3 will be

I know that happened but I’d need to see more of a consensus from modders before I call it a wash. If modders continue to add to the game, it will likely become more appealing and the actual foundation to add mods seems pretty decent.

If the modding community likes Starfield it should really help with the emptiness of space at least. I can imagine the idea of just building an entire quest line in your selected planet would be nice for avoiding mod conflicts

I think you can learn a lot from apex even if it’s not the obvious choice. For Counterstrike 2 the trailer was dropped, aggressively marketed and a beta was put in people’s hands basically at the same time solidifying the game is good. Then it disappeared until launch. It very clearly worked because there were no complaints about the game. No question how good it is because the streamers played it. Then it’s just a waiting game. BG3 not quite the same but putting the game into people’s hands meant that people knew it was solid, before launch. Access creates buzz, especially if a game is enjoyable. It’s the through line between all the success stories. Let people play good game, then other people want to play the good game.

Also, of the three ladies (you will typically find in your first playthrough, sorry Minthara) she is the last you can romance, so if your are a completionist you will end with her (I regret not making a save)

I appreciate how concise it is but am worried about airflow

I’m not even sure then being non binary (I think they are referred to that way? May be translation though) is the issue, but them coercing a kid to bathe with them all might upset people.

Mother 3 may be the only game that made me teary. I think there may be another I’m blocking out but I generally avoiding trying to be sad

No one would be complaining if it was labeled as a director’s cut but maybe theres a legit marketing reason to avoid the label

It’s a heavy year so I can understand Hogwarts being left off especially since people have a reason to dislike. Very loved by the casual audience (where I am at least) but I don’t think any of my gamer friends cared for it that much.

I was under the assumption the collections that utilize this system do it by just saving the inputs and timestamps and simulate them as such rather than understanding the entire whole state. I’m not sure how it works with non-seeded elements

I do agree with you about the dev focus. It would be way more complex even though if feasible if you can simulate without it graphically but you I can’t imagine it just being a system similar to recording or achievements

Shy + Introvert = You don’t want to meet people or go out

Lazy + Introvert = You are good with people but they should outweigh the culmination of tired you will feel after going out

If you truly felt this way, you would buy it anyway and then watch the game playthrough as suggested.

The idea of watching playthough’s has some controversial facets for sure but I’m not really gonna yuck someone’s yum

The buzz around it grew when I was seeing a lot of pizza party’s which always ended up with 3 flavours being brought. Margherita, Pepperoni and Hawaiian. So I’ve always associated the movement being some secret groups’ lifeprotip to order Hawaiian do they can eat a bunch of pizza and it’s divisive. If your ordering for yourself go nuts. If your ordering for a group, there are plenty of more on-averagr enjoyable options
