Admittedly, lowering the difficulty to rush through won't make Fabien shut up with the constant backseating. Nor will it fix literally of the any actual issues with the game.

Thiiiiiiiis close to just flushing Bloodlines 2 after a game session last night. Gonna just lower the difficulty a notch and see if I can rush through it instead. If that doesn't make it better at all, I'm going to flush it for sure after tonight.

The other is an issue with framegen where the in-game implementation of it actually negatively messes with the UI.

A couple of bugs are making me put The Outer Worlds 2 on hold juuuuuust for a little bit.

Notably the footestep sounds, which I think (I hope?) are bugged. They often sound bitcrushed or even clipped. Hard to ignore it while playing since you obviously make footstep sounds all the time.

Halloween is now officially over on the east coast.

It is now National Calzone Day, National Cinnamon Day, and National Deep Fried Clams Day.

Celebrate by combining all 3!

Happy Cinnaclamzone Day to all who celebrate!

on top of what jay highlights, wapo is blaming the democrats for SNAP benefits going away

Nevertheless, this program is vital. The quickest solution to protecting it is for Democrats to join Republicans in voting to reopen the government, and then they can fight over public policy.

Finally went back to finish the BF6 campaign. That was a real wet fart of a campaign, sadly.

Now I have more time for finishing Bloodlines 2 (also quite "meh" still) and really diving into The Outer Worlds 2 (only 2 hours in but liking it!).

The followup is too funny

"So I know I name-dropped Sweet Baby Inc, DEI and agendas and said diversity sucks, but actually I have never heard any of these words before in my life and diversity is real neato"

I wonder which of his collaborators told him he was never working with them again

Post by Shesez who unironically pays for Twitter saying "Full transparency, I was uninformed that terms like "agenda" and "DEI" are words used as weapons against minorities. Peoples comments got me up to speed on how this was a terribly ignorant thing to tweet and i really am sorry to anyone affected by it. If people need to know where i stand on the subject. I appreciate diversity in games and I especially love narratives are written with the experiences of folks who are different from my own."

God forbid that EA ever update their press portal so that I don't have to hunt down images across their half dozen articles for Battlefield 6 update news.

I briefly had up a screen capture of some racist propaganda from government sponsored shitheads but like... fuck that.

Momentary lapse in judgment there from me.

I really, really, REALLY hope this is because I'm playing the Premium Edition of The Outer Worlds 2.

This is the very first "flaw" that popped up right after the tutorial mission ends...

If every Premium Edition owner gets this, that'd be INCREDIBLY funny.

A "flaw" that appears in The Outer Worlds 2. The flaw is called Consumerism and reads:
You're the reason our marketing works. Promotions and sales have riddled your brain, and you're more interested in buying the next big thing than financial planning.
WARNING: Once selected, Flaws cannot be removed.
Effects: -15% vendor prices and -10% Sell Value at Vendors.
