Probably one of the best adventure games. Just the fact that it randomizes who is and isn't a replicant every playthough makes it pretty much a different experience every time you play it. Plus having 12 endings.

Since you have both, stick with the original. Enhanced Edition has some issues apparently.

Yeah, that alone makes having a sex and sexuality board a bit iffy. I was never on the board so I have no idea how spicy things got over there, but even having a discussion about sex with someone that young is a good way to end up on a watch list.

The last topic I posted in (literally an hour before they shut the board down) was essentially some guy asking if he might have symptoms of testicular cancer.

Real dangerous content there.

It is pretty telling that as "Draconian" as GameFAQs was with their moderations and censorship, I can count on one hand the number of boards they shutdown in the almost 25 years between when the message boards became active and when Fandom took over.

When you play a game from Quantic Dream, you pretty much expect a dumb story and quick time events. Complaining that the game is giving you a dumb story and quick time events is like peeing in the corner of your bedroom and complaining that your room smells like piss the next day.

Although I will say that in general, the newer a game is, the more it expects the player to want the game to be stupidly easy. I was almost shocked at how ridiculously hand-holding Beyond: Two Souls was compared to Heavy Rain, and how easy Heavy Rain was compared to Fahrenheit.

Certainly the work from home, which I have been doing ever since. I had just got a 2 monitor and dock setup about 6 months before lockdowns started, and had already tried it out a couple months before when waiting for a delivery.

Also, since I was using the room to store a bunch of my mom's junk, I managed to sort through all of her old stuff during meetings and slow times at work. Made dealing with her "estate" so much easier when she died.

Rotpar posted...
The biggest problem is that the goal of a game is a puzzle with a single solution. The visionaries only exist on the maps at certain times, under specific circumstances, and cannot be killed otherwise. The game could have been amazing if you did the loops until you learned their schedules and interactions with other characters and then killed them as you saw fit.

Like imagine if you could lure everyone to the big party at night. Like maybe two have to be killed by traps you set up; one will try and escape the map if you start a gunfight, so either you kill them first or haul ass to catch them before they leave. Would have been an incredible achievement.

That is one of my problems with Arkane in general: They are inspired by a lot of immersive sims, but don't implement the concepts fully enough that you end up having all of the choices endemic to them. They give you the illusion of choice, but if you want to beat the game you have to follow the path they determined is the best. Both Dishonored games had that problem, Deathloop has that problem, from what I have heard Prey also had that problem.

It's OK. The fact that there is only 4 maps (plus an intro one and a final one, both of which don't really count) and 4 times of day make it kind of repetitive. You are basically just playing the same places over and over again to kill the 8 visionaries in the most efficient way possible until you get to the end.

I guess if you are into roguelikes (since this is basically a AAA one) then you might like it, but I find them kind of boring.

Now as far as awesome roguelikes, I played the demo of this one yesterday. Can't wait for the full game to come out:

Yea, 99% of divorce is basically splitting up of assets. Once everyone agrees to that, it is just signing the paperwork. So yea, seems odd that since there is no signature you can't really say that the couple "consents" to the divorce...

But I also don't understand UK laws, so maybe they don't need legal signatures to divorce. Also, other then a few states, you can pretty much get re-marred the same day your divorce is finalized.

1). Politics
2). Current Events
3). PS4 (or whatever the top system board is at the time, probably PS5 now)

They killed Politics, they just "killed" CE. They are basically trying to reduce moderations by killing the boards where the trolls go. Completely forgetting that just getting rid of the troll boards is going to make those trolls go to other boards.

Even as a person who doesn't talk about politics on public forums, even I know that the solution isn't "ban all political discussion and delete any place where people could potentially do it".

B) the AWS service Nintendo bought is so overpriced that it actually matters and Nintendo CEOs don't understand that they could do it for less money

One of the biggest lies that Amazon and other cloud services have perpetuated is that it is somehow easier to have AWS servers than to just maintain your own.

Like, sure, if you are starting out, it is convenient instead of trying to host your own infrastructure. But once you make any kind of money and actually budget out the costs, you are paying way more than you need to. Like in the old days if you needed a server for something and you didn't have a server farm, then you just put it on someone's desk, or kept it in a closet. My old company had a room that wasn't convenient enough to add cubes or an office in, so they just threw a few dozen machines in there and dubbed it a "server room". Add some window air conditioning units and you have a server room for only a few thousand dollars, and the upkeep is way cheaper then you would get from AWS.
