Again, too bad completion doesn't show up on that list. The games eventually being good is no excuse for shoving half-finished software out the door at full price, no matter how you cut it.

Too bad pretty much everyone, including Larian, Owlcat, all of these "we're doing it for the game and for the fans" adherents have also fallen for the "Rush to Market, Fix It Later" mentality. Been deep-diving Rogue Trader for the past weeks and playing through rough Beta content really isn't fun when the game is considered launched and complete. Same for Baldur's Gate 3, I binged it at launch and had to stop in Act III because most of my quests were soft-locked, or displayed incorrect information in the Journal.

I'd stuff my .mp3 library under my mattress, I swear :(

Completely agree with you! But that may be a bit idealistic at this point, to be honest, and it pains me to accept it, too, believe me! I'm starting to think more in the lines of "doing the best with what we've got," and we ain't got much...

Edit: of course I was joking in my initial comment, just to dispel any potential uncertainty! But everything with its grain of truth and all that...

This should be a do-or-die grade in the finals, globally. And don't let anyone know when or where they'll be evaluated and graded, make'em think the Civics teacher/professor will stalk them around town, putting together their resupply patterns, and grading their mall etiquette. That'll put the fear o'God in'em!

Huh... is this how dogma started?

Hehe, pot. Can relate, sibling.

Also, kinda' reflects the actual socio-political climate, Fascism's been on the rise on this side of the pond, too. Hell, I'm nearer to Russia than I am the UK, and you can feel the scales tipping to overcompensate for what uninformed (i.e. most) people still think is Socialism. Gonna be a stompin' party all around the globe when things come to a head.

This must be the absolute epitome of this AI replication poor taste... The person who thought it would be a good idea to do this with Carlin, probably the one human who hated human bullshit more than anyone else to have ever existed, is either so out of touch they don't even vibrate at the same frequency as the rest of existence, or so far up their own ass that they're staring at their pancreas... An absolutely disgusting move.
