For sure, if anything articles like these make me want to get out and counter protest even more.

That article's comment section is insane lol. Just saying stuff that's never happened or not true, without any evidence, and then going out and protesting these imaginary things is crazy.

It does, but as far as I know PD3 still requires an online connection for single player. I've read issues of people lagging in single player, that's crazy.

Because these messages imply parents want 100% control over their kids, when kids are individuals as much as anyone else, with their own opinions and identities. No one is pressuring these kids to be anything other than themselves, except for these parents who want their kids to be exactly like the vision in their head, which isn't going to happen most of the time (Free will and personality and all that). If the idea of kids being around other cultures and types of people is scary to a parent, they need to think about who's grooming who.

Something I did was create a list on How Long to Beat of games I don't want to play, sort by most popular, and filter out those games and ones in your Want to Play list too. It's not really recommendations at all but it was a good way to look at new games you havent seen before. In terms of getting recommendations, finding a YouTuber with similar taste in games as you could be a good way to do it.

I just finished Yoku's Island Express, and I never thought a blend of pinball and platforming would work so well, but it's great.

Melvor Idle is an idle game inspired by OSRS (Now published by Jagex) if you're looking for something directly inspired by RuneScape.

You Forget it in People and their self titled album are pretty great, especially the former. You might know them for having Feist and the singer of Metric as singers, or as Crash and the Boys from Scott Pilgrim (The music, not the actors).

Yeah the advances we've made in the past decade have been great.

I reused my online handle into a more traditional name, and gave myself a middle name so people nickname me my online handle without prompting lol.

Ey nice. Halifax is such a beautiful spot.

I'm in my 30s, wife's in her 40s, and we both play video games. I just got my first tamagotchi a week ago lol, do what makes you happy, and that'll make someone else happy. We met on FF 14, so maybe integrate into communities you're interested in and start talking to people.
