Back 4 Blood, opinions 

But the single biggest crime, is that it's a zombie shooter where shooting zombies aren't satisfying. In Left 4 Dead 2 your shots would tear off parts, gore going everywhere, but in Back 4 Blood it's just, meh, they kinda fall down limp after a few shots

Back 4 Blood, opinions 

What makes Left 4 Dead work is clear level design that always funnel you towards your goal, and make it clear how to reach it - you prepare in the safe room, you roll out and steamroll your way towards the next safe room, and then you repeat it again for four levels.

In Back 4 Blood there's so much mechanism bloat pushed in just to differentiate it from Left 4 Dead, you start in the safe room, you have cards that change how things play out, you have way too many weapons, some are in the shop, a lot are out in the world, they have attachments, maps suddenly start having subobjectives, it's just a mess!

Back 4 Blood, opinions 

Honestly surprised how much "the original developers behind Left 4 Dead" don't know about how Left 4 Dead works and what makes it good - I'm not even through Act 1 and the pace is horrible, the levels are easy to get lost in, the AI is dumb, "mutants" are spongy, the guns feel horrible, etc etc

social dynamics ? 

sometimes I feel like I've accidentally stumbled into the VIP section of a hollywood bar when some of you, who I'd honestly consider at least somewhat famous, treat me as equal and a friend :dragnsob:

this is such a programmer message, you know, like, anyone else would say something like "we don't ship to this address"

I have a better vacuum for everyday vacuuming, but this monster can also vacuum up wet things

fun fact: I have a vacuum that has a "noise protection required" sticker on it because it's over 90 dB(A) when running

all the RAM is too fancy today, the only thing that will fit in this 1U case is value RAM without heatsinks, lol

I'm right now in this weird mindset where I want to go home and do stuff, but I don't know what stuff, and why I can't do it at work

another one is badcoin, which is just bitcoin except there's no security so everyone can steal from everyone
