Tom Hardy was doing a Splinter Cell movie?

I have a PSN account. Have been playing almost exclusively console for years up until recently. On PC now and I’d honestly rather to never have to use that damn account again. I don’t trust them. They screwed me over so many times with my PS+ stuff, charging it or not charging it whenever the hell they wanted. Nevermind the leaks Sony. Pass. The argument of multiplayer games I can kinda sorta see when everyone and their mother has an account but not when it’s a single player game.

Speaking of, if anyone wants to buy a Playstation account with 267 games for like $200 then I’d be more than happy to hand it over. I like food, my cat likes food, and don’t I give a shit about Sony

The first duty of every Starfleet officer is to the truth.

Some people fail that duty quite frequently.

Glad to have you on board, buddy!

Oh that shot across the bow was made a while ago…

Sort of rolling Daystrom into the community at the moment, or at least our discussions and what have you

Actually that would be really neat if someone did that. I recently watched Hard Candy with a friend (good god that movie is horrifying) and for some reason the deadnaming (even though it isn’t actually deadnaming) just feels really weird and awkward and uncomfortable. More so than him just playing a woman. It’s strange.

Also wonder how he feels about that whole thing, come to think of it.

Finally completed the Ada DLC for Resident Evil 4. Was way more fun than I expected it to be. Immediately did a few more runthroughs, including a professional, and am now prepping for an S+ runthrough of it.

Also started Alan Wake 2 but that thing starts really slow and have to get into a mood for that. I ended up backing out and going back to Baldurs Gate 3. I think this thing just has me permanently hooked now.

In an alternate dimension

It felt like a f2p game. I play a decent amount of Star Trek Online and spend some time with some other free games. SnB has the same unpolished vibe. Like you’re seeing the framework of the entire game with posters hung over holes in the wall

As someone who just downloaded Sea of Thieves on the PC, thanks!

Been playing the closed beta and I know it’s a beta but the game releases in 7 days. Not a whole lot you can do in that time.

The game is still really unpolished and feels jarring. The opening section has you in a rather large vessel but the thing turns on a dime. Only water craft able to turn like that is a jetski and even that didn’t have the super tight turning radius this thing did. There was also no time in turning. It felt really jarring, especially when Black Flag did it so well.

The voice acting of the characters you start with is extremely uninspired. I don’t blame the actors but the director who decided this was okay. It’s so jarring and disconnected. Characters aren’t even consistent on pronunciation of simple things.

The combat is hyper simplistic. It’s just hold left trigger to aim and then hold right trigger to fire. A quote I said to my buddy while playing was “Huh. My pirate ship is fully automatic.” The cannonballs just kept firing more and more until I needed a reload, then more and more. Everything is bulletspongey and nothing visually seems to change or update to sort of reflect the damage that you’re doing. Most vessels you fight against have multiple giant red boxes where the helm is located and those boxes are explosive and almost guarantee a one hit kill. It just feels so basic and simple and boring. When you complete the opening battle and get your own small craft, you start getting attacked by sharks who are leaping out of the water to attack the boat. Not you. The boat. Because that makes sense. And you have to attack and kill the sharks by throwing harpoons at it, also super simple point and click. Think the fish fight in Resident Evil 4 Remake or even RE4 OG.

Walking around on the ground is painful. You can’t sprint, for a start, and the character will either keep walking for another few feet when you stop or suddenly stop. This leads you to getting used to the trail so you stop preemptively and end up 5 feet away from the thing you need to do, forcing you to start walking again and that animation is also way too long.

One of the locations you have to go to at the start is called ‘West Island’. I’m sorry but how simple and boring do you have to be at the start of the game to just lazily call it West Island because it’s in the west?

This game is awful. It’s a patchwork disaster which is only made more concerning by that article saying that the third creative director just left the game before it even launches.

Way too much World of Warships

I occasionally record readings and narrations of dumb things on Mastodon but they’re usually just super quick. Like so quick that I don’t even bother fucking with noise reduction or anything. Just get bored and go “I LIEK THIS POEM”

This is the one career I wanted to do something in. I started voice acting years ago.

Honestly just seems so pointless lately. Half the time voice over artists are not even recognized or even paid a decent amount. Now they wanna just copy and paste our voice.

I’m tired.

About as surprising as BG3 winning game of the year. Call of Duty just endlessly prints money. Even when they underperform they make bank.
