Pet peeves: The return (Part 8)

I escape from my real life and delve into a fantasy world where I am also a massive dork called Hero (or possibly Anthem these days)

Anyway I’ve mostly been busy the last two weeks or so, have I missed anything spicy in the meantime?

I don’t think so - most of the chuds have excavated themselves elsewhere so it’s been quite nice

I hate how 3 day early access is a thing. It is very dumb and stupid and divides the community.

I hate how it is so damn expensive.

I hate how I will get it anyway cus I need to buy gametime this week and the big package comes with a month.

You fell into the trap…
And so did I.

Luckily I’m busy pretending to be a wizard during early access so it’s a moot point

It’ll probably still be a day or two before the servers stabilise either way

Everyone falls into the Early Access trap, I do as well for a different game.

Nevertheless, I hope TWW treats you all well, for me I’ll probably give it a go very late into the expac if at all. I just hope it’s good :pray:

I am honestly very excited for TWW, I am hoping it will turn out fun!

Paying for early access basically means charging more to get it on its actual release date.

Just do it!

It’s a practice that indeed should not be rewarded, and I on one hand really dont want to get it, but… I am a sucker for battlepets… havent bought mine yet but we will have to see :frowning:

Amen to that.

I like the idea of asking “what would the best version of me do?”, because that’s indeed what I already do and have done for years. “The best version of me” has been the ideal by which I’ve been measuring my own progress as a person throughout the years.

On the other hand I think there’s nothing wrong with being inspired and motivated by other people’s skills, as long as you don’t put these people on a pedestal. “I want to learn to draw as well as Acrona” is one hell of a motivation, even if I, personally, regard it as a pipe dream because I realize just what an insane amount of time and patience would be required to raise one’s drawing skills from “nonexistent” to “barely tolerable”, let alone reach a proficiency one would be actually proud of.

For all you final fantasy gamers, FF16’s coming out on Steam next month, and its demo is available right now. Now you don’t need a PS5 to enjoy

I learned that if you are downloading a game from Steam you shouldn’t leave the pc unattended… something went wrong yesterday and the pc wouldn’t properly start up anymore, even going as far as to try automatic recovery. Then all of a sudden after turning it on and off a few times it worked as normal again…

It was after it fell into the screensaver…

Don’t let it do that or auto lock.

Agreed. Though finding individuals who can put their bias aside to effectively police it is difficult and even when such individuals do take up the burden they’re usually harassed, stalked and threatened for not echoing the ‘correct’ talking points of one of two perceived ‘sides’.
