I'm more concerned on how to keep up with leveling gear for alt jobs without it getting really expensive.
I can probably name on one hand the number of times I bought equipment. The drops you get from level appropriate dungeons are usually your best bet

of course I voted Kakarot

Ever since I was 12 when I played Legend of the Super Saiyan on SNES I've been waiting for a DBZ RPG that actually covers the entire story in a single game and we're finally here 22 years later

and it looks fun to play on top of that!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rk-wIgg9fNk

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yDrBQPJk2lQ

Hey maybe if it succeeds they'll do one for Dragon Ball or Super :O

Is that what the Japanese intro music is? I thought that was made up for DBZA

Anyways all these games look like trash except for WC3 Reforged, which I am tickled is finally coming out. They did such a good job with the SC1 Remaster, I have faith it will be great.

Mostly im looking forward to playing a lot of the old custom maps like Wintermaul/Dota/Angel Arena

Giant Bomb as a whole has been circling the drain the last 2-3 years. They feel rudderless as a group, and a big part of that is Dan's move to the east coast. Dan was the person trying new things and consistantly pumping out the best new content (think Metal Gear Scanlon, Mario Party Party, etc). On the west coast he had a lot of people he could play off of, but the east coast crew seems less inclined to play ball. It doesn't help that Abby is by far the worst person ever on the website. I have a hunch that she single handedly killed the GotY format with her shrieking banshee voice, inability to recognize shes the only person in the room that plays the garbage "games" she's constantly championing, and I suspect pulled the "I'm a girl and I'm being DISCRIMINATED" card.

Yea with that podcast length for days 4+5 along with the fact they all have been parroting that they didn't film that much content as a group this year I'm not getting my hopes up for a great GotY week. Scaling back to 1 week together is fine since I get the problems of spending 2 weeks away from family and all, but to spend that limited time doing 13 hours of podcasts that just review what got released this year is pretty disappointing. It just seems like if they really think something of that nature needs to be done it could be without them all in the same room at some other time, but really i'd just say all the top 10 lists on the site do a much better job of reviewing the year of games than the podcasts even do.

Maybe it won't be as bad as i'm thinking but just having lower expectations for what GotY is coming out of GB makes me a little sad. At least GBE and their E3 stuff is still top notch.
Lots of people have jobs that require you to travel. These guys travel 2-3 times a year max for work, I think they can take the extra time to put out quality content at Christmas. If this is what i can expect moving forward, in addition to a bunch of other premium content like Ranking of Fighters/Demo Derby/Game Tapes seeming to no longer be a thing, I'm probably going to cancel my premium. The last 2 years have been basically a slow-motion death of the site that started with Drew leaving.

The pessimism is an unfortunate facet of our social media/24 news cycle dominated lives. Everything is so stupidly politicized that people don't realize that it is objectively the best time to be alive in almost every region on earth.

People concerned with the environment ignore all the positive environmental stories coming out, such as the evidence that the Ozone Layer hole is recovering. Use of clean energy is at the highest rate it has ever been, and is on a strong upward trend.

People concerned with the PC-ification of society don't seem to realize that outside of the internet, the people actually insane enough to be weird SJW obsessed morons is VERY low.

People complaining about white supremecy are in a similar boat, in that they're taking the Twitter accounts of insane racists as some sort of representation of society, when there has never been a better time to be a visible minority, or woman.

I'm trying to bring a little more positivty into my life, so I've been ignoring a lot of these things (less news watching, less Reddit, less Twitter, etc.), and it has been doing wonders for my outlook on the future.

I mean, yeah, but if you were to hire an assassin I dont think anybody would argue you were any less culpable than the actual hitman, and the cop in this case has an actual legitimate job (albeit one that he is apparently very bad at)

I just find it hilarious that they correctly felt the need to make an example of the swatter, yet the US justice system absolutely refuses to prosecute murderous cops. In most of the cases where excessive force is used, I can sympathise, but there was literally no danger to the cop in this situation

Words that I live by are all jobs can be broken down to 3 aspects:

- The work you're doing
- The people you work with
- Compensation (money, vacation, benefits etc)

If when you say "don't like as much" as in "the people suck", I would probably go with Job 1. If instead you mean "these people are fine, but I like the people at Job 1 better", then I would actually suggest taking Job 2. Life is short and you will only work a handful of jobs. That money will immediately benefit you, but it will also make it easier to get more pay at whatever your next job is, so if you plan on job hunting again 3-5 years from now, go with job 2.

we were driving through the real hipster part of town and she was talking about how much she loves it there but she's only been there once, walking around with her aunt (who is my age and a fox), and this drug dealer dude kept following them around asking the aunt to buy from him and also to come hang out at his place, it went on for a while and it made her super uncomfortable

then later on somehow the topic of male privilege came up and she was like "i don't know if that's really a thing though" and I said to her, "you know that story you mentioned a minute ago about how a creep followed you and your aunt around harassing you? I lived on hipsterstreet for 2 years and walked around it a thousand times and that never happened to me once, but it happened to you the one time you went there."

she said "oh wow.... i never thought of it like that... that's really messed up we had to put up with that but you don't..."

When I lived in Toronto I was constantly approached by homeless people, religious nutjobs, "environmentalist petitioners" and all manner of shady drug dealers trying to sell me drugs/phones/whatever. I am a white male.

All you need is a little bit of critical thinking to see the pattern in Zoe Quinn's actions. She's either the stupidest person ever to have all of these things keep happening to her, or she's making/embellishing stories to get the attention she so sorely craves. If it was anyone else, I would give them the benefit of the doubt, but when a walking red flag like Zoe Quinn does it that's called reasonable doubt.

The fact that you can't make the simple association between someone very publically and very falsely accusing you of a crime, and that person committing suicide right away is the exact reason why shit like this happens. What's the old saying, the truth usually lies somewhere in the middle?

If you read between the lines, this guy was probably really jealous and insecure and probably a shitty boyfriend, but that doesn't deserve having your name dragged through the mud by an attention seeking drama queen

Translation of her "accusations":

I started dating a douchebag I met on the internet who indulged my desire to be choked during sex. Now years later, because I haven't been in the news cycle enough recently, I'm going to bring this up and frame it as abuse. Screw all actual abuse victims!

Until people like her start suffering for their false allegations, this will always remain a problem, and as long as the internet outrage culture machine indulges this stupidity, more people like Zoe Quinn will keep coming out of the woodwork.
