  • I work in the IT field and in the last 5 months or so the amount of users getting into sticky situations (fake virus warnings, notification hijacking, etc) has skyrocketed. I kept thinking they were visiting shady sites, but finally I found out it’s the ads on google search results. It’s ridiculous how shady the ads are and I completely blame google. The notification feature in chrome is the stupidest thing ever with how easy it is for sites to take advantage of ignorant users.







  • I def get what you mean, it isn’t very fleshed out compared to other games that are in the same (apparent) league that the reviews are putting it in. I was just playing a little bit ago and did another of the side quests where you deliver food to people and it’s just so simple seeming (and repetitive since it happens more than once). But in a way I also like the simpleness of it. Maybe it’s appeasing to a certain part of the brain in people where it either clicks or it doesn’t and that is what is responsible for the reviews.


  • Ff16 is the first final fantasy game I’ve played (so I can’t compare to the others like you can) and at first I felt like this but now that I’m 17 hours in, I get it. It’s just how this game is, it’s not open world. Each area is it’s own thing that you take in.

    Games are like an interactive movie and there’s a ratio of moviness to gaminess and this one leans heavier on the moviness side.

    Idk just thinking out loud.





  • I beg to differ. I think it added a nice mix of dark truth to the series. You never really see the low-key social messed up stuff in the trek world so this was like yeah… they’d probably have orgasm inducing games in the future where everyone gets all addicted lol. And making it a virus spreading method really adds to the overall seriousness of it
