I’m sorry to hear about your loss. Losing a close friend is awful, especially when it’s stacked on top of other things.

While I appreciate a 60fps experience as much as the next gamer, this game targets 30fps on consoles. A 60 fps guarantee for Verified status is totally unrealistic.

I agree that there needs to be some sort of performance standards, but not everything has to run at 60 fps to give an absolutely fantastic experience. 30fps (as long as it’s a solid 30 fps) can do that too.

Archive.is used to block people with Finnish IPs too, allegedly because of personal immigration issues.

I don’t get the impression it’s something anyone should ever rely on.

You’re right, I was being a little flippant.

Still, it would certainly be far more niche. While being able to ride a horse was an essential life skill a little over a hundred years ago, you might get an impressed reaction if you were to tell someone that you ride these days.

In a galaxy with replicators, who would actually still know how to cook eggs (other than Sisko’s dad)?

Hopefully you’re in a better situation now, I’m sorry to hear you’ve had to go through that.

I guess I’m fortunate that I tend to associate it with some of the worst conversations I’ve had with people on Reddit rather than anything more personal.

“We trained it on social media.”

“Why does it keep making stuff up and then getting argumentative if called out?!”

Combat! I loved that, especially with bouncy bullets.
