@mrmattimation TFW you'll need to wait 150 years for your robowaifu

@mrmattimation Well, if microtransactions only go as far as working as shortcuts for items you can get normally through gameplay, then I guess that's fine. So there are AI enemies? the trailers gave off the impression it'd just be players.

RDN's Lucifer Angry Liberal

@mrmattimation I assumed it'd be pretty much that when it came to actual gameplay. I wanted to give it a try before the pr disaster but with us$ hovering around ar$40 I can't throw $60 at something I won't play regularly, specially with exams and essays taking much of my time. Maybe if it ever goes for $20 I'll get a copy, provided they don't do "micro"transactions and other predatory crap.
How's the basebuilding? admittedly that's what I spent more time in Fallout 4 than anything else and the main appeal of 76 from the trailers to me was the idea of building forts that'd actually be attacked by thinking entities as opposed to mindless npcs that spawn inside your walls. Without npcs to drive a story and interesting quests, exploration, combat and building need to be very good to make it worth it.

@ceruleanspark Huh. I would have expected you to have it pre-ordered knowing how you are about fallout. No time to focus on it?
I've been watching the circus too though and it has been great. They really want to beat Blizzard's mobile diablo in worst PR disaster of the year.

RDN's Lucifer ...

@vt3c Huh. That's something I didn't expect to see. Guess you managed to beat the stockholm syndrome after all.

@ceruleanspark I can send you legalese-sounding threatening emails if it'd help

@mrmattimation Didn't Fox discredit the rumor of Apu being removed?

RDN's Lucifer Angry Liberal

@mrmattimation Huh, I always thought you were mulatto, not hispanic. What part of Iberia? Andaluz here.

RDN's Lucifer monsutaa kaado!

@mushi Well, it's unlikely it'll get to that point, the political climate is different now than it was decades ago when that stuff happened. At most they'll change the legislation a bit towards what they see as better, but it'd be extremely hard for any government to shift into a military dictatorship. Still, it does seem they're getting there without much thought into what they'll actually do once they're the government which is slightly more worrying. I'd say whether it ends up being an ok government or a disaster depends entirely on the ministers and advisors that they pick, and how they translate the concepts of "fight corruption" and "don't be communist" into practice. Responsible ministers would have more than enough room to work while individuals that just want to take advantage of the situation can also cause quite a bit of trouble if they say the right words to those above them.

@mushi Yeah, wanted to have an opinion from someone actually there rather than second hand stuff from the news. I take it he's fairly ridiculous then?

RDN's Lucifer Cerulean Spark

@ceruleanspark What is it about? Been getting back into sci-fi lately

RDN's Lucifer Firestorm

@firestormdangerdash Oh, yeah. This is the original one, the one with the hawk is the SPC alt to talk with non-RDN people, and the one with the 2 is a bot that takeshi made in 2016 when he was making markov bots with the accounts of anyone who found it funny. It's basically rdnebooks but using my posts as a source.

RDN's Lucifer Firestorm

@firestormdangerdash I'm not sure what you're talking about. Unless someone has been using my name lately, which I doubt, there's only this one and the SPC one. I'm not an instance hopper.

RDN's Lucifer Firestorm

@firestormdangerdash Oh, thanks!

RDN's Lucifer Scribus

@scribus Certainly one of the funnier lolcows if you don't actually have to deal with him.
