If this game releases with good quality my friends and I are day 2 customers for sure. Seems fun as hell from the videos.

So you want to try create the right moments for deeper conversation, I think that would be more likely away from his mates? I don’t know them so just guessing.
With that in mind, maybe Google around for anything interesting or different happening in the area. A gardening or book faire, wine or coffee festival, anything relaxed. Then ask him if he wants to go. Ideally something quiet that has some walking around?
That might create helpful conditions.
Tricky, but you could take the approach of just putting it on the table:
"Hey, I have a weird random question… " And then ask if he thinks there is life elsewhere in the universe or what he thinks is going on with flat earthers or whatever. It isn’t bad to be a bit random in timing.
In terms of timing specifics though, you don’t want to do it in the middle of some other discussion, so you normally wait for a quiet moment or a lull in the current conversation. Typically depends on what’s going on. I find something like building puzzles together is great for this, because you’ve both got something to do but it’s not so intense as to block easy conversation that just meanders a bit. Just an example though.
When you are together, what are you normally doing? Long drives are easier to find ok moments, studying in the library or in the middle of a dentist appointment less so
You could try asking some deep questions, see what comes out of that.
Exactly, if you choose to work for a company then that is in support and furtherance of that companies goals / operations.
We are not so helpless as we sometimes like to claim.
Yeah, I like them but I’m firmly in the camp of waiting for player reviews. We’ll see.
Moved to Firefox some months ago, it’s fine. Small adjustment but browsers generally offer high interchangeability
Yeah you’re right, a divider. Or a 0.x multiplier I suppose.
And you’re also right about the divide between highly skilled and not, but I think that’s what we saw quite strongly in SAO. The side effect of serious consequences separated the players.
I don’t think it’s a successful design approach for a commercial game, most players do not play permadeath even if it’s an common option.
Why is PCMag supporting more Twitter usage? It’s a poison, a platform for mass manipulation.
The underlying threat of serious consequences changed player behaviour, psychologically.
Today gamers throw themselves into monsters with limited regard for consequences, which changes our perception of the encounters.
I wonder what would happen if number of deaths was a tracked stat that acted as a multiplier for player skills / powers.
Wow you’re being down voted hard.
One of the problems with anonymous payments is that they can be used by foreigners with deep pockets, money laundering (which snowballs into much bigger problems), etc. I can understand why they’d push back so hard.
The problem with tracked payments is the loss of privacy and over control. Can understand why they’d push back so hard here too.
One of those issues with no good solutions in sight. Yet. Maybe. You basically have to pick your poison.
I like Kamala. You have a real shot at taking Trump out with her. The stakes could not be higher. Maybe for the world. He is a truly dangerous person.
I wonder if I can get the next statement out without venom coming back at me, but I’ll say it anyway:
I think you guys should try hard to steer the rhetoric away from anything polarizing (race or gender), and do everything you can to create inclusion (from anyone). I’m seeing a lot of things like that, and I don’t think it plays out into more support. And there’s nothing more important now than maximizing support.
I thought it was hilarious
Some people probably do not have home lives that they enjoy, I can imagine that.
Snuggling? Uh, that’s a hard no. I can’t imagine that. I’d be extremely uncomfortable.
Hugging? Yup, lots of hugging in my friends and family.
I don’t wish for more physical affection among males, seems good as is.
It’s not the job of EA execs to keep offices open or people employed. It’s their job to drive profit above anything else, no sacrifice is too great.
I’m holding something the size of a mobile phone with no screen or buttons. Specs are that it supports up to 400mb/s NNB, or Native Neural Bandwidth.
Fortunately it’s the newer wireless model so I don’t have to worry about cable management in my hair.
Agreed, the first steps toward fixing this are much deeper.
Peoples jobs will always be sacrificed to make that quarterly earnings call sound sweet to investors.
Profits above all.
I believe the answer is “A lot of Americans”.
