    in Myanmar news - Myanmar asserts that Rohingya militants have massacred Hindus on the border

    so, that's not causing tensions to rise at all

    You should. I think it's one of the best games of it's generation. It's visually stunning and I think it avoids some of the issues I've had with other Rockstar games where sometimes the open world aspects feel like they are getting in the way of doing things. Where as moving through RDR feels much more like part of the game. I also think the general writing is much better than the writing in a lot of the GTA games.

    I think its their second best written game with their best in my opinion being actually max payne 3.

    I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.

    High school girl learns history. Realizes what the "art" piece is that is hanging in her dining room. Fights with her dad enough for him to learn what it is properly and in the end he gives it back to the tribe.

    *nods* well done.

    Yeah, total and complete cluster fuck. Shit I heard from my friend who is a desk officer on Myanmar is that is pretty much worse than a lot of the news is reporting.

    if you are a fan of western movies it sort of warbles between several sub genres, it's fantastic

    also the part where
    you run to mexico

    was one of the best, most exciting sequences i can remember in a game

    Lol the dad and the mom went to alaska to give it to back but didn't take the daughter who fought with the Dad?

    Also how in the world did that thing end up in a shop anyway?

  • ronyaronya Arrrrrf. the ivory tower's basementRegistered User regular
    it might be true. there's some indication that Rohingya politicians were overestimating their strength in the mid 2000s and have written cheques their insurgents can't actually cash

    and in river valleys of tens of millions of people, you know, a village of a hundred people being massacred is not impossible. in a normal case it would just be written off as rural instability

    still, it is hitting a nerve regionally

    Its pretty amazing the guy bought an historical actual piece. Sounds like neither he or the person who sold it to him had any idea how old it was.

    I personally loved 2nd act spoilers for RDR

    The whole mexico portion, it really threw morality out the window and muddled the ethics of marston entirely. Other people weren't a fan, but me its some of the more interesting aspects of his character and the story in general.

    And honestly the zombie expansion was more fleshed out than you'd expect and super fun.

    Not if the other person was really cool about constantly being positioned at True North

    It would outperform conventional magnetic compasses if they did that!

    I can just see the grimaced look on his face when they confirmed it had tremendous monetary value. In my fiction as he is standing there in the ceremony handing it to the museum someone says

    "It could have easily paid for all of your daughters college tuition and more. Thank you!"

    I never had a problem with it really either. Considering the history of Marston and his Wife.

    I still think mp3 is my favorite Rockstar story if only because it kind of attacked the character of max from the first games while still respecting it. Its weird to describe, but at the end of the game I felt exactly like the main character did.

    Simultaneously they axed subscription pay services with no warning

    which were great for creators

    What the fuck are they doing

    Youtube's streaming has also been pretty shit as of late. Like random buffering absent any issue from the creators end.

    They were already a shittier twitch with game streaming (for quality) , but they are getting worse by the day

    In all three games, Max can't save anyone no matter how hard he tries. That's unique and Max may be the only character in all video gaming to have such rotten noir luck.

    UI changes, ad changes, all these changes...

    It all makes me think they're moving to a commercial distribution platform (youtube red) instead of shit being for people to upload cute videos or lets plays.

    Hmm. I really like that Evelynn rework look on LoL. Design wise that is. Though it looks like she doesn't have the Tina Techno dance anymore. Shame.

    And once again the mechanics of their updates completely turn me off. Every time I see a new character or update for LoL it just looks like the idea of simply played characters are dead. Everything has to be an oddly shaped skill shot that has 3 different functions depending on actions around it.

    I mean, I get it. LoL has been around a long time. And the game is now tailored to long time players. But god damn does everything have to so fiddly. This reminds me a lot of Fighting Games. How eventually so many things get added in to increase challenge to mechanical gameplay that it becomes more and more impenetrable.

    It's awesome

    I hate those games but the new design is awesome
