Basically one year after the game was said to be never updated again, this giant bug fix and balance update just drops without any warning. And this happens just as the Microsoft deal is finalized and Bobby is leaving Activision at the end of the year....
Well funny thing is, HOTS used to work like Overwatch 2, but they changed it to work more like OW1 in an update called “HOTS 2.0”, which was very well received.
Personally I get you though, Battle Passes and other FOMO nonsense are cancer and I don’t want it in games
Oh it definitely drew the whales in (I used to whale for it, bought Blizzcon tickets just for the HOTS mounts and flags), but Bobby Kotick had the mindset of “If we can’t build an eSport brand around it, it’s useless!”
That’s why Overwatch PVE and HOTS went out the window
I don’t understand why they went with a UI that is even less intuitive and far clunkier to use, when I already had various problems accessing features that I can access on desktop just fine. Such as changing my screen name on a server, would you have to do a lot when like me you run a transformation based roleplay server
You know I hate to keep saying this bit it’s absolutely true, I would rather trust the ferrangi than American capitalists.
The ferrangi have a book of rules detailing the ways that they are allowed to rip you off, you can be well-versed in them and by doing so actually get a good deal from a ferangi.
A human capitalist is just going to take their ball and go home with the slightest push, and help yourself to whatever they can take from you, ethics be damned.
One of my favorite moments in Deep Space Nine is when quark and Sisko are on a camping trip, and Sisko goes on the usual spiel about how greedy ferrangi are…
And Quark fires back by pointing out that his people have never had war, genocide, or slavery, and Sisko’s got nothing because he knows humans can’t say the same
Glad you mentioned that, because I thought maybe they were going to do one more round of dlc. Preferably one that focused on first party characters. I am a Nintendo fan, I don’t know who these sephiroth and Joker fellas are
A polish hacker found out why trains did stop working. The manufacterer implemented a hidden electronic switch, which automatically activated after trains were serviced by a different company.
See gameplay and more in this trailer for Trash Goblin, an upcoming shopkeeping game where you take on the role of a Goblin, and it's up to you to uncover and clean trinkets.
Realized the 80 dollar slip resistant work shoes I got at Shoe Carnival were like 20 bucks at target. Same shoes, just didn’t have a football player’s name on the tag.
Put em side by side they look identical and I wear them interchangably not even noticing a difference
Bro, you’re not in high school anymore. No one is impressed that you threw a fit when Mom took you to church that one time.
Also I wouldn’t get Disney’s help for a shared imaginary universe, considering the Marvel Cinematic Universe was cool, but it’s been going on too long, none of the shows are any good.
It really should have ended it end game, because it just feels like every movie now is just build up for a different thing, and the only part of it anyone cares about anymore is what Spider-Man meme are they going to do?
Bro one of my best friends is literally catholic, but he is also a furry, and he has played Cult of the Lamb without any guilt. This is because he can differentiate between fact and fiction, he can tell the difference between a sincerely held religious belief, and something that someone made up is a fun joke.
I am not a christian, but as someone who interacts with someone of the faith long enough to get the gist, and see how he behaves, it really makes me roll my eyes when I see someone who claimed that they went to Catholic School that one time when they were like seven, and they saw two nuns making creationism in the closet, and one of the creationisms looked at them.
They take on the spiritual qualities of such things, on the outward they still remain wine and bread, even says that in the very article you posted. And again, Wikipedia is not a credible source, did you not take High school?
I didn’t know exorcisms had stopped, I thought that they continued, but they had to be absolutely sure that a psychological Factor was not at Play before one officially be done.
I will confess I have heard of Magic the Gathering being believed to lead to demonic possessions, but that’s always been a Evangelical position as far as I knew. But then again, some people will take things more seriously than others I suppose.
In your Wikipedia article that the Bread and Wine maintained the characteristics of bread and wine on the outside, but were in essence the body and blood of christ.
Honestly I think you’re overthinking it, it’s symbolically becomes the blood and body of christ, and this does stuff for you spiritually because Jesus. That is a sad thing about Reddit atheism, they overanalyze things until they stop making sense. Even when these things are as simple as they appear to be on surface.
What I want everyone to keep in mind is that everything sounds stupid if you over analyze and oversimplify to the proper extent.
What you said had nothing to do with the conversation thus a nonsensical derailment of the converstion, and you are propping up a strawman. I keep pointing out they don’t believe it physically turns into blood and flesh and you keep going “But what if they did?”
Im missing a lot of charm that w2 and first starcraft games had, and i did not see any open engine recreations, nor clones that lived to this day. With warcraft 3 i only ever finished half of the game, by the time sc2 came out, i was already too old to even bother trying.
