It would’ve been interesting, given that Rod Humble wanted to create a fully fleshed out base game…The DLC for Life By You likely would’ve been merely outfits, additional hairs made post launch, and possibly furniture/architecture style sets that could be priced at a reasonable rate. Meaning more players would’ve bought it and those funds would be reinvested in the game for more work to be done! The mod support would’ve been nice for those that want it; I often don’t care for mods (Prepare Carefully, for Rimworld is one of the few that I adore). This situation is truly vexing because the Life Sim scene needs a well funded direct competitor to The Sims that isn’t afraid to make a coherent and interesting Simulation game; one that is built with an engine that actual works and in-depth gameplay! The loss of Life By You will irk me for years to come.

I liked the first game well enough, despite the rough initial state it was launched in. I appreciated the reasonably sized zones, the fact even social skills were useful in combat, and the satirical corporate dystopian story angle they went with. Despite it’s flaws, I found Outer Worlds to be a good game. Based on what I read, I’m a little optimistic about Outer Worlds 2, but, I am curbing my enthusiasm until my go-to YouTubers have their hands on the title. They’re pretty honest and helped me pass on games that wouldn’t satisfy my gaming desires!

If the first game had a bit more scale and some more story in certain places, I would’ve loved it more. I get the impression that Obsidian will try to make that happen in this sequel. Once again, this is my hope, as it will only be proven true at launch and when the gaming community can play and discuss The Outer Worlds 2 actively.

Honestly, I kind of miss the idea of what “Life By You” could’ve been, as it had the game designer for The Sims 2 and The Sims 3 behind it. That game could’ve been a return to form and an actual threat to EA’s watered down and extremely pricey Sims Slop. If only the team Rod Humble had assembled were able to gel their concept into a reality, with Paradox’s backing, could’ve created something magical. Alas, it was not to be…I still imagine the potential for player driven storytelling that Life By You was offering!

Honestly, girl same!

ROFL That’s a stupid choice, but Sony is free to make it. I hope they don’t sell any units at an increased price!

Certainly, I forgot about the microbial life that people harbor on their bodies! It does depend on if the natives left the body alone or handled it after killing him; or gathered food in the immediate area during the process of decay. 🫢

I remember this story, it was a good FAFO kind of situation, which didn’t cause any harm beyond his own death. Heeding those warnings would’ve been the wisest course of action!

I agree with his points about the $80 dollar games not being a sustainable price point, especially in places like Australia or Brazil which suffer from higher game prices! This is a stupid move on the part of Nintendo…It’s made me rethink buying their Switch 2 as a result. I will wait and see if they have a moment of clarity which derails this bad decision. If they don’t, I hope the market slaps them in the face and buys games that are reasonably priced!

I’m sticking with Linux due to the bullshit that Microsoft is constantly pulling. Currently, my PC is running Fedora 41, and I love it quite a bit; currently I can’t imagine a future where I return to Windows 11. Proton Compatibility Layer makes gaming on any distro fairly easy!

LMAO I can’t wait to dismiss them right out the gate and tell them the real reason…The choices of your exalted bigot and idiot have brought us to this outcome.

This to me is an unhinged situation to begin with…People do weird things when turned on by the idea of doing something they perhaps should not. Discussion of a cop committing suicide might have not been strong enough to overcome a possible desire to send the video, that is merely a guess. There’s nothing that I could do to prove it, as this is merely a gut feeling of mine based on the information. I still feel that if you intend to send lewd media of self or others, confirming who will be receiving it is something that you verify first. As it leads to fewer problems in life.

Personally, I’ve only sent videos that I’ve intended. Typos, sure that’s understandable as autocorrect can be a true bastard at the worst moments; after reading the article, something about the situation makes me wonder if he intentionally sent this video and was hoping for a different response after she received his wank video. It’s hard to accidentally send lewd content to another person if you are being diligent about checking if you’ve selected the right recipient (always verify the receiver before sending lewd content). Good for the City Attorney for calling this man out on this alleged mistake.

It seems like an interesting response to Scrapper Bots gathering data for their training models. It would likely poison those models if enough people adopted the use of typoglycemia and varied it consistently. I’d love to see that happen!

I shouldn’t laugh, as this is an unintentionally funny statement. The level of nonsense these sovcits spew is hilarious and mindboggling.

Yeah, I only worked at a Fast Food place once and the smell of oil and food haunted my clothes…It took months after quitting to get that smell out.

A gas station has the benefits of a relaxed dress code without the foul odors clinging to my clothing.

I have to wear black jeans, company branded shirt, and comfortable shoes. It’s not a bad dress code.

I can’t wait for the AI bubble to burst and all these techbros to go away with this AI nonsense. I wish NVIDIA would fix their latest cards with the melting cable issue instead of AI bullshit.

These sovcit posts are so crazy; it’s fun when people totally dismantle them, and they still believe in their bullshit. At this point, I almost feel this collection of individuals confused by laws are a cult.

ROFL Irony is lost on some, so this is not at all surprising.

LMAO I love how they are trying to warp reality into whatever lie is currently in their meager minds…

We all know Joe (barring the genocide enabling) was a better option than Trump who will burn the USA to the ground.
