I have very little trust in Blizzard nowadays, and even less love for them.
Currently playing on TurtleWoW and I'm having an absolute blast! With 5.5k average concurrent players every day and all the goodies that Vanilla++ brings, I have absolutely no reason to even consider retail.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zRNuRWizzDE let's rewatch this and appreciate how fucking smug he looks like while giving an ultimatum
We live in a reality where corporation rule the world. They monopolize markets, pay little to no taxes, hold no accountability for their actions against people, communities, the environment. They cut off corners and feed you whatever bullshit is more profitable for them and this endless greed of theirs is only growing.
If you're not stealing some every-day, average Joe's work (looking at you fuckfaces who steal content and resell it on platforms like RedBubble), then piracy is always the (only) moral choice.
I've played through 1 and half of 2. I've also played Demons Souls and Bloodborne back in the day (they're essentially made of the same formula).
I'm not the biggest die hard fan of the series but I'd say that if you can afford the time, play all three of them! It'll be a blast.
A few years into my career I started identifying bugs that are too deeply rooted within the spaghetti. For those, I just skip to step 5 instantly. Not worth the 2 years worth of reduced life expectancy trying to fix this shit.
This is not what I needed so close to midnight... :') I'm making this tomorrow for brunch!
Let's get more people to join. We have to participate!
I HONESTLY DIDN'T EXPECT TH-- just kidding
Even if you invent some kind of automated Nazi detector
As interesting a problem as this might be (my final year undergrad project was similar in nature), the nuance of written word can be significant and difficult to detect. Making a good product and then ensuring multiple communities would adopt it is not realistic in 2023.
What is realistic, however, is a zero tolerance policy against such individuals. What we should be doing is ostracizing them. You take away their platform, you take away their power. They can only do so much damage if they're all gathered up in a single community with no ties or influence to the rest of the world.
Why give them a platform and an audience to begin with? They're the scum of the earth. Fuck them.
Some employee knew exactly what they were doing :)
+1, just joined the party.
A month into Knights of the Frozen Throne, so circa September 2017. I'd previously tried it for an hour or two when it first launched but it didn't draw me.
Still playing today.
Unless I'm really desperate for their content, that's when I kill the tab. The internet is vast, and I can probably find what I'm looking for elsewhere.
