I tried to use Pocket because of Mozilla’s relentless promotion, but I ended up finding it too clunky compared to regular bookmarks.
Wonder if it’ll be as money hungry as the original
My family still teases me for once playing a game where you had to pay real money to watch a pixel guy jump into the pool

Because Microsoft hasn’t yet captured 100% of the PC gaming demographic, thankfully.
There goes the “we need PSN to effectively moderate the online playerbase” lie right out the window…

They put out a single statement with no action, and everyone online instantly went “WE WON IT’S TIME TO CHANGE BACK TO POSITIVE!” and then a lot of cringy RP about democracy.
It feels incredibly artificial.
I always begin seeing weird shapes if I keep my eyes fixed somewhere. Doesn’t matter where it is, can be a white wall even. I don’t think it’s anything more than a quirk of how our eyes work.
Helldivers 2 is definitely undercooked. It’s probably one of the most unstable games I’ve ever played. I’ve experienced more crashes in 50 hours of HD2 than in 250 hours of vanilla Fallout 4 and 150 hours of lightly modded Skyrim Special Edition put together.
Not to mention the extremely strange bugs that pop up every new update. My friend would often get downright bluescreens from the game, sometimes he would be cursed and completely unable to be called in as reinforcement. The reinforcement beacon would just disappear after a few seconds. Other players on the team would still be called in, just not him.
Then the fact that flamethrowers didn’t work properly for anyone but the host for a long time, so Arrowhead responded by buffing fire damage in general. Cue the flamethrower still not working, and flamethrower enemies like the Hulk simply instakilling you instead. I’m not even sure if they’ve fixed that one yet.
Or armor values not working for a long time after launch. Or the kill messages when you die being completely up in the air, many times displaying that you were killed by a teammate or yourself when you get swarmed with enemies or thrown off a cliff. I’ve been accused of a lot of teamkills because of that. Or how shooting down an automaton dropship would have a 50% chance of actually killing the enemies under it, and a 50% chance of giving them a big bunker they can clip through and shoot out of, but you can’t shoot them back. Or Pelican 1 not landing for over a minute, just hovering in the air not even shooting at enemies. Then there were all the times that picking up medals or super credits inside the map would just paralyze your character completely, making you unable to move at all until you take some damage.
I really do not understand the online gamer circlejerk that has formed around this game. Is it the Battlefield Helldiver momentsTM? Screaming at ragdolls with your friends?
Worth noting that the boomer wojak meme started as “That 30 year old boomer”. It was never about actual Baby Boomers.
As if someone took the concept of spaghetti code and applied it to an entire company.

I feel like a true meritocracy would be a system kind of like Plato’s republic where children are separated from their parents as early as possible and are all raised from the exact same level, so the only thing that sets them apart will be individual talent (their merit). If not this, then the wealth, status and connections of your family will influence your opportunities, which runs counter to meritocracy.
Safe to say it’s not a system I’d want to live in.

I’ve been trying to bury stories that are going around that I have the biggest dick in Britain. It’s hard work.
I won’t let you do this, the people deserve to know!
Omnipotence without knowing how to control it could very easily instantly annihilate you, whether physically or mentally through complete ego death.
