The fact that the OpenBSD logo has to include its name spelled out really tells you everything you need to know, doesn't it.

About 80% of Dark Souls 2 consists of a detour to get around this bit of rubble.

Oh please, don't quote that ketamine-addled frog at me. The whole thing is his fault anyway, he fucked up literally everything he touched:

• First he opposed training Anakin at all. Because letting a kid whose Force sensitivity is off the charts run around unsupervised just after you've found out that the Sith are back is apparently a good idea...?
• Then he assigned him to wet-behind-the-ears Obi-Wan instead of a more experienced master who might be able to guide him better, despite knowing full well that Anakin was going to be difficult to train due to being too old.
• He didn't recognize Palpatine as a Sith lord despite frequently meeting him face to face.
• Failed to defeat Dooku.
• Dismissed Dooku's warning about a Sith being in control of the Republic as disinformation despite every word of it being true.
• Provided incredibly stupid, worthless, ineffective, and likely even outright damaging 'guidance' to Anakin in the throes of emotional turmoil.
• Decided that he and Obi-Wan should split up to fight the Sith individually instead of ganging up on one while the other was occupied, and then sent Obi-Wan after Anakin despite being explicitly warned that it wouldn't work.
• Failed to defeat Palpatine.
• Tried to stop Luke from going to rescue his friends, who would later prove instrumental in the defeat of the Empire.
• Tried to teach Luke the same "attachments bad" bullshit that he fed Anakin in order to get him to assassinate his own father; in the end, of course, it was precisely that attachment that proved key to victory. If anything, the Empire was defeated because Luke, unlike everyone else before him, didn't listen to Yoda.

So yeah. Every single thing this little green asshole ever said and did was wrong. If it weren't for him, the Republic likely wouldn't have even fallen in the first place. If Yoda says that the future is always in motion, the one thing we can be sure of is that the future is as solid as a rock.

there's a guy on 4chan who's planning to sue Fromsoft

Lol, no. There's a guy on 4chan who's saying wildly outlandish shit in order to have a laugh at anyone who takes it seriously.

A perfectly understandable reaction, but the company will be happy about that. If you willfully destroy a product you bought, they already have your money, and now you need to buy another one.

The enshittification cycle:

Phase one, attract users by providing a good service.
Phase two, once the users are locked in, squeeze them for all they're worth by selling them to business customers (advertisers and/or data buyers).
Phase three, once the business customers are locked in, squeeze them for all they're worth by threatening to deny them access to the users on whom they now depend.

Spez seems to think Reddit has the pull to make phase 3 happen. I rather doubt it, but we'll see.

Yeah, but none of that bothers his supporters as much as calling him weird. Which is pretty weird if you ask me.

It's phase three of the enshittification cycle. In phase one, you attract users by providing a good service. Once they're locked in, you squeeze them for all they're worth by switching focus to business customers. Once they're locked in, you squeeze them by threatening to deny them access to the users on whom they now depend.

Also, by kicking him out and then implementing it anyway, they take credit for his work. I wonder whether being discarded like a piece of trash the moment he outlived his usefulness came as a surprise to him. A very Trumpian move all-around.

It seems that you need a refresher. I suggest you rewatch those original pre-release trailers and then try playing the game to see if it looks anything like that. I did that a few months ago, and spoiler alert, it did not. Continued support is of course praiseworthy, but it wouldn't have been necessary if Hello Games had actually kept their promises to begin with. It boggles my mind that gamers so vehemently defend a company that took a decade longer than it should have to deliver some (not all!) of what was promised and also wasted a bunch of time and resources on bloating the game with stuff that was never mentioned and that nobody asked for. Gotta be some form of sunk cost fallacy or Stockholm syndrome or something...

Needless to say, I disagree with you that there's little reason to believe this will be the same. On the contrary, there is every reason to believe that. Due to my skepticism, I was talked down to by people excited by the trailers back then, just like I'm being talked down to by you now. Vindication felt very sweet first time around, so I'm looking forward to round two.

That's cute and all, but it ain't gonna be birds and deer who gets life off this rock once the Sun starts threatening to swallow it in a few billion years. We're screwing up badly in the short term, but we're the only hope Earth life has in the long term.

At least letting them talk in the name of free speech lets you know who the Nazis/fascists/white supremacists are

That's great and all, but knowing who the Nazis are is just step one. Without taking additional steps, that knowledge is useless.
