I absolutely hate these. My local Aldi started doing this and the lines are longer than ever as a result. People who get paid to check out your groceries move faster than the customers themselves.

That was hard to read. Those monkeys suffered greatly. I understand the need for animal trials in a device such as this though. My question is do they really think they will be able to support humans for their entire lifetime properly who get this implant? I can imagine humans being told the company went under or something when it’s time to maintain their implant.

Honestly, most web articles are only worth reading in reader mode. It seems like that is the only setting that respects your phone’s brightness settings (dark or light) and font size.

Why would this be something that needs banning? Why the fuck would they be cutting off the tails of these animals?

This was sorely needed during my first play though. There were many times I wanted to change my appearance to match an outfit and I could not.

Interesting that you ask that. My spouse plays as a native woman and even has a backstory based on real life. As far as I know, there is no native “faction” you can control or anything like that.

To be honest, beyond your appearance there isn’t any difference between player “races” in the game code. So no NPC is ever going to care if you are black, white, native, etc. They probably did that on purpose.

Oh, we love killing klansmen online. Instant PvP and grief for those players identifying that way.

Nearly everyone I know from India uses WhatsApp so this statement checks out. I wish my own friends and family would stop using iMessage/SMS and use something like Signal. The only other app they use is Snapchat and I kinda hate that one.

No, my spouse plays it primary for the online component. He enjoys riding horses, customizing them, dressing up his player in different outfits, going on missions with other players, collecting with other players, bounties, hunting, building a trade business, doing competitive pvp, and a lot of soft gameplay and RP like drinking and dancing in moonshine shacks, getting into bar fights, playing poker in saloons, making an ongoing story for his character that involves his online friends… etc.

It’s a perfect game for the sandbox MMO crowd. I played it for a while and enjoyed it too for a bit, but I think I need more story in my face and tactics like in BG3.
