What kind of fuckery is selling a game with a free DLC on pre-order SIX months before release. Specially when you have what can be at best described as a shitty record of releases?

What's worst, the DLC is a faction that's pretty much the basis of the whole fucking game.

In case you wonder I'm talking about Total Warhammer. (I refuse to call it Total War: Warhammer, that name is jut plain stupid.)

Cool, 4 pages before devolving into shitposting. We're getting better at this.

Well bugger, I just noticed that my old hard drive is incompatible* with the new motherboard. And that's after nearly an hour of pulling out the old motherboard and fitting the new one in.


_{*Reason for incompatability: New motherboard doesn't have a connector for an IDE cable. Old hard drive doesn't have a connector for a SATA cable, only IDE. While adapters exist that are suitable until I order the new hard drive, who knows I probably have one laying around, it'll still take time for it to arrive.}

Pressed 2, and all I got was a sales pitch for the store's club card.

...Well played.
And I think I heard the "press 0" thing on a Retsutalk, Slowbeef was saying his wife does it.

I'm just going to leave now before the inevitable 'rap is good' 'rap sucks' argument.

Unless somehow (possibly by an act of God), that doesn't happen.

As God doesn't exist...*
Rap sucks

_{*In my opinion.}

[Rolan7]

Noooo dwarfy1 that's even worse XD
I really do hate seeing the rap argument though.

what is this advanced peasantry? Surely there's a point where you barely have a game anymore.

Bullet magnetism so you 13 year old brother can do all the l33t 360 awp headshots he keeps talking about.

This kind of reminds me of the Red Dead Redemption 2 online mode. While it was a pretty cool game, it actualy allowed people to have aim assist on the same server as people with no aim assist. Not sure if they fixed it later.

[Akura]

GODDAMMIT.

Trying for the past 30 minutes to get those tiny damn pins for the power switch in, finally think I get it, only for it to immediately lose power followed by a burnt smell.

No idea what's gone.

Isn't that thing old in console shooters? I remember reading about stuff like that being implemented, like, 10 years ago.

Halo's always been the worst offender, but as far as I know they don't usually show it off so blatantly. Plus this is more so in that it moves your crosshair, but also moves the aim point off the crosshair to make you hit the target.

Now they just need to develop that system out and sell it to the US Army.

...Have you ever heard of PGMs?

This has been a thing since the earliest days of console multiplayer. Gamepads aren't precise enough to play FPSes without a mountain of aim-assist. It's why I've always disdained console players who try to be elitist about their pr0 h34dsh0t sk1llz.

Cultural appropriation is an actual term with actual meaning, and it's not "liking things from another culture." Only morons say that's bad.

Appropriation is things like what scriver said, or frat white boys in racist costumes. It's NOT 'eating at a Thai place' and saying it is, and is therefore not a bad thing, is hilariously missing the point.

So in other words, it's this one bad thing if you don't approve of it, but this other good thing if you do? Yep, that's perfectly consistent.

Hey, did you know that someone else smoking crack whenever they can afford it is a horrible addiction, but me smoking three packs a day is just normal behavior? Yeah, and when someone draws porn I'm attracted to, it's art, but if they draw porn I'm not attracted to, it's repulsive trash! For everyone's sake, I'll refrain from adding a dozen more.

When you try to argue that one group of people using the cultural artifacts of another group is "right" and another group doing the same is "wrong", and that the two instances of behavior are distinctly different things rather than a semi-arbitrary distinction formed solely by your own perspective, you are being the exact sort of repressive hypocrite which you claim doesn't represent SJWs/tumblr/whatever. The primary distinction between appropriation versus assimilation is that the use is outside the original context of the broader culture... and yet, for some strange reason, you only see people protesting it when it also coincides with traditional SJW targets.

I've never see Jacques Copeau derided for cultural appropriation because he used elements of Noh theatrical dramas as part of his acting school's training program, despite them being distinctly outside their original cultural context.

Completely unrelated: Anyone else having trouble with google? I went to go check some release dates for a couple upcoming games, but all my searches just return with nothing but the filled search bar and no results at all.
