IT WAS SO GOOD! It was better in like 2010 than shit like discord is today.
Would be an incredible product today if it continued to receive development (w/o enshitification ofc).

It’ll almost be like having xFire again!
…I miss that software. IIRC they were bullshit-litigated out of existence.
Does that count as introspection?
Maybe you should reevaluate what you projected?
Most of my Steam library is shit I have no intention of ever playing. I’ve bought a TON of bundles that contain one game I actually want that justifies the entire purchase; one or two that look like they have some potential, so I’ll bookmark them for a rainy day; and like 15 digital turds that I now have the key to, so… why not, might as well activate.
The ‘unplayed math’ is comically bad in my case.
I don’t recall ever seeing Bobo and mtg both at the same time… pretty sure they’re just one Nazi who occasionally dons a wig and glasses.
Fox addiction.
Ate out with the wife tonight, and got an unexpected political back-to-back: the restaurant had CNN playing on one end of my field of view, and Fox on the other.
CNN reported on all kinds of shit. Every time I looked up, different topic. They went back to the upcoming debate and the Gaza genocide a couple times, but otherwise just an even spread of unfolding events.
Fox spent most of the time talking about how left wing media will spin the debate to make Trump look like an extremist; and then a few small snips about how illegal immigrants are terrorizing our society and getting our youth hooked on fentanyl. They even managed to bitch about Hillary lol, although I missed the context… assuming they’re still rambling about emails.
People who watch Fox must be terrified and angry like all the time lol.
The only way to stop a bad kindergartner with a gun, is with a good kindergartner with a gun.
Not to mention death / trauma to the mothers. The single most fucked up thing I’ve ever seen was being called in to do a c-section on a women who needed an abortion and never got one. We extracted a dead, partially decomposed baby from this woman’s abdomen. This was almost a decade ago and that shit still haunts me. It’ll haunt the mother for the rest of her life.
This was before women lost their reproductive rights with Roe v Wade, so idk why she never got one initially. Might have been a religious thing?
When we lost Roe v Wade, one of my immediate concerns was that we’d see an explosion of these types of cases across the country.
GOP legislation is straight up evil.
I guess Einstein was wrong… It’s #3 that’s fought with sticks and stones.
Never said that either. Y’all are great at refuting the words you put into my mouth… maybe try a little less strawman?
When did I say I was furious? Or that I couldn’t come to grips with the mechanics? Or that I couldn’t treat the game as it is? I adapted to ER just fine, and made it to the Malenia fight waiting for the game to rise up to bar the community holds it at. I ‘got gud’, but the game never actually got fun, cuz it never stopped being clunky.
If you find satisfaction in managing the clunk, more power to ya - clunk away. But it’s not my cup of tea.
Idk why folks get so defensive for that game… just in this thread, we’ve post after post getting all heated about how it’s not clunky because [describes how or why it’s clunky]. It’d be like the Minecraft community getting up in flames if I said I didn’t like it because it’s pixelated, and jumping to the defense of their infallible title against such heresy, explaining how it’s not pixelated, the aesthetic was chosen on purpose and carefully made that way!! …vs just advising against playing games that look like Minescraft… because it’s pixelated.
enjoy missing out on the nier titles, the devil may cry series, every fable game, kingdom hearts, the whole god of war franchise, asura’s wrath, and the new final fantasies
Yeah none of those are really on my radar. Fable maybe, for nostalgia sake - played the hell out of the first one when I was in highschool, but haven’t touched the franchise since. I don’t recall getting the impression that it was clunky in the way ER is, but definitely so in other ways… though I wouldn’t hold a game from 2004 up to today’s standards; the entire industry was janky as fuck then.
The rules will not change just because you refuse to learn them.
Bruh that’s what mods are for, hence my first post here. Don’t like something about a game? Change it. Idk if there’s one that can mod the clunk out of ER, but if I get the itch to revisit that world via a more fluid combat experience, then that’ll be high on the to-do list.
Absolutely, but it’s a lot better than whatever the hell we’re doing now. And it can happen fast - biggest holdup would be the sudden change in supply/staffing demands at relatively few facilities, but the VA can limp along while doing its best until those needs are met.
This is speaking as a veteran who receives care at the VA - if there’s one thing they can do well, it’s juggling a clusterfuck while still somehow remaining operational.
The zombie apocalypse starts when the bottom chamber fills up.
Well… there is a federal path to handling state level health care crises.
Two magical ingredients.
First is to actually declare a state of emergency in the Y’all Qaeda infested regions of the US on the basis of denied healthcare leading to the current and worsening humanitarian crisis in those areas; and in doing so, enabling the VA to provide abortion services to non-veterans under section §1784 of title 38, United States Code.
Second is federal enclave, which pretty much states that on federal facilities, state law can eat a bag of dicks.
This dystopian GOP shit is maddening. We need to stop trying to argue with it, and start finding ways to just work around it. Fuck em.
It’s standard practice.
In many cases, yes.
In fighting games, monster hunter, and a bunch of other games, really similar rules apply
…which makes those games clunky. I disliked monster hunter for the exact same reason.
Your take is uninformed and you obviously don’t play much of the genre
I don’t play much of the genre… because it’s clunky. I’m sorry that description offends you.
Making you commit to moves when you make them isn’t clunky.
What is it?
It’s cool if you don’t mind the clunk; apparently it’s a selling point… but that doesn’t mean it’s not there.
Just realized this is the perfect time of year to stock up on some fireworks. That level of evil leaving the government (formally or influentially) absolutely merits celebration!
…there are a few of those fucking cockroaches whose passing would justify lighting up a few celebratory 'splosions.
