It’s strictly multiplayer but it’s also a PvE game and the community is generally pretty great at helping out new players. There isn’t much toxicity in my 200ish hours of experience, come across the occasional troll that team kills but the host can boot people so they get kicked pretty fast. It is more fun with friends, but I probably have around half my playtime just playing with randoms and I always have a great time.

Definitely recommend giving it a shot!

Thank you for the encouragement, I appreciate it.

I appreciate you, thank you!

Man I feel this, I’ve dropped 4 whole belt notches over the last 6 months and it’s crazy to look down at myself and not see my belly sticking out and feeling my moobs shrink noticeably 😂

I was never fat but I was definitely an unhealthy weight and it severely affected my confidence. I’m 5 10 and I probably dropped from 220-230ish to around 190-200ish. Idk exactly cause I’ve been scared of those asshole weight scales for a while now 😂

All I did was stop ordering take out every week, and stop making huge meals an hour or two before bed and replaced it with eggs and toast 3-4 hours before bed and I’ve been losing a ton of weight. Also replaced pop and juice with water as well. Literally no other change in my otherwise unhealthy lifestyle.

Tbh if I wasn’t basically a functional alcoholic I would probably be in great shape if I wasn’t drinking so much liquid calories. But my life sucks and it’s how I cope. I make it to work on time and put in a good shift, but I still have a lot I can improve on.

Counter-point - Bugs Bunny and the Looney Toons in general were peak cartoon. It was old even when I was a kid (32 now) but I loved it as a kid and I still love it now. Timeless humor.

Gonna preface this by saying I’m obviously a huge Expanse fan so my opinion is definitely biased. My username is a character from The Expanse and I consider it both my favorite TV show and book series ever. Wanted to make that clear up front.

That being said, if the game is good and they eventually replace the slop assets with proper assets, then what does it matter? As much as I like Lemmy, the hardline stances the community tends to take pisses me off at times. “Oh you’re not a full blown communist and haven’t read Marx? You’re no better than a nazi you filthy shitlib”

Or regarding “AI” (hate that they called it that, it’s basically just a smarter auto correct thats existed in smartphone keyboards for years now) anyone that doesn’t automatically and passionately hate AI or any of its uses is automatically demonized as a supporter of big tech. Don’t get me wrong, I fucking hate 90% of what “AI” does and is used for, especially how corpos are using it as an excuse to lay off real people and how dumbasses are relying on it as pure truth when it constantly hallucinates bullshit. I don’t support “AI” and I can’t wait for the bubble to burst.

There’s almost zero nuance here, it’s 90% “you’re with us or you’re against us” with no room for anything in between.

If the game is good and they replace the slop assets with real assets when it’s released next year then who fucking cares that they used AI, what matters is whether the game is good or not and whether the devs are treated and paid well. Expedition 33 used AI in earlier iterations and it all got replaced with real assets eventually but that didn’t stop Lemmy from shitting on one of the best games (IMO) to come out within the last decade once that became public.

You wanna make this place a more mainstream alternative to big tech controlling everything? Get off your high horse and accept that there’s nuance to everything, it’s not just black and white. Otherwise this place will continue to scare off new users faster than it can gain them. I consider myself to be a progressive, I’m Canadian and I’ve only voted NDP since I was able to vote and I’m now 32. I also really respect AOC, Mamdani, and Sanders in the states, so I’m already close enough to the target demographic of Lemmy if you exclude the tankie trifecta (ml, hexbear, and grad) and even I get sick of the circlejerk here at times.

Judge something when you can actually have a proper opportunity to do so rather than getting preemptively pissed off because they had the audacity to use something you don’t like.

If the game comes out and still has slop in it and/or just sucks in general, then yeah, shit on it all you want, and I’ll be first in line to join the club cause I absolutely love The Expanse and I’ll be immensely disappointed if it turns out bad.

Again, in the interest of honesty and transparency, I usually prefer to just throw my opinions out there and not read or respond to replies when it’s something that I know is gonna be controversial so I won’t be replying to anyone that replies to this comment. I really hate arguing with random people on the internet so I just ignore replies for the most part.

The off sales near my house recently added this, why tf would I tip when you’re grabbing a 6 pack that’s 2 steps away from the window? Gtfo with that shit. Tipping is for quality service in a sit down restaurant or for a delivery driver bringing me something cause I’m too lazy or drunk to do it myself.

Even then, tipping should be abolished and business owners should simply pay a proper fuckin wage instead of using customers to subsidize their profits.

Keep the dumbass reddit style “jokes” to reddit. Either answer the question or stfu. You’re not funny and your lame attempt at a “joke” is just annoying.

This is one of a million reasons why dogs are better than cats. And I say that as a cat owner (only of a year or so tbh but she annoys me FAR more than the dog will over his entire life)

White Sparrows by Billy Talent always gets to me when I listen to it

They gave her one more day

To say the words I couldn’t say

I’m crying in pain, crying in pain

And I’m not looking for answers

No, I’m not looking for answers

But dear God, why did you choose her?

White sparrows fell from heaven and carried her away

Black arrows cut the strings of my heart, I kneel and pray

Thank you!

I knew a comment like this was coming. It’s a fair point tbh and I agree with it.

That being said, this is a comm for people to ask legit questions and there are better places if you want to meme. Keep it to the proper comms instead of spreading more cancerous murican politics as far and wide as possible. This would be better off in one of the many shitposting or meme comms rather than a comm dedicated to people looking for real answers.

Yes I don’t have an answer either, but that doesn’t change the fact that this entire thread is comprised of unfunny people making obvious and unfunny jokes.

Such a good show, and a good example of people that are actually funny 😅

Any actual answers? This whole thread embodies one of the main things I hate about reddit. Everyone thinks they’re a comedian when none of the “jokes” are even remotely funny.

Answer the god damn question and quit trying to farm upvotes by making shitty “jokes” ffs.

I’m a huge space nerd and I straight up avoid comments on any article about Uranus because the comments are all from idiots that think they’re funny recycling the same old trash that’s been around for decades at this point.

Stop trying to be funny for internet clout and answer the fucking question, it’s not that hard.

Such a precious little dog!

I absolutely love dogs with fur like that, always called them fur face dogs 😅 I have a dog like that and his name is Ewok. His sole purpose in life is to get pets and love, as well as eat as much cheese as he’s given. He’s a living teddy bear and he’s the best dog to ever exist ❤️

Dog tax

Champing at the bit sounds dumb af tbh and I’ve never heard it before IRL compared to chomping.

mushy plop sound

🤢🤮🤮🤮🤮
