And then when they do update the game, and add 20 more dollars of new dlc at the same time, if you're someone who likes mods, well congratulations. Your installation is ruined and you can't go back to your saved game(s) without there being some level of headache involved. At this point a high seas version of stellaris would probably be a relief, since there's no auto updates and all dlcs. But here I am, a sucker who bought like three-quarters of the dlc over the years and can't even play it because I'll just be sad my last playthrough got ended prematurely with a dlc release... Fuck Paradox and all their games.

Oh wow, I could never put to words why I didn't like the body type system either, but you nailed it. Yeah, I also wish that games could just give you sliders and/or more presets or something to have actual variety. If a game will only support curvy girls and buff dudes, but won't also let people make, for instance, cute androgynous cat boys, or anything else a person might fancy, then what's the point of it?

A way of thinking that, when granted power, criminalizes every other way of thinking and discards freedom 100% of the time... That countries don't actively do something to prevent its prevalence works like a crack in the foundation of the freedoms they enforce. I'd not suggest legalized contextual murder like this op is asking about, but a clear outlawing of an ideology that brings nooses and book burnings with it, definitely.

No, the game this studio is developing is called "Once Human". The studio itself is named Starry Studio.

The funny thing to me is, Dragon's Dogma 1, in its original release on Xbox 360 and ps3, had microtransactions. You could buy rift crystals, lots of cosmetics, quests, etc. Then they released Dark Arisen as a complete collection sort of thing all dlc included, but I think you could still buy more for that too, mainly just the rift crystals.

Besides that, it seems like every single Capcom game in the last 10 years or something has had mountains of paid dlc, like buying proud souls and blue orbs in the DMC games (consumable upgrade materials), upgrades in resident evil games, all sorts of stuff. Not that I'm defending Capcom's actions, I don't like what they do here, but I just wonder why it was Dragon's Dogma 2 that broke the camel's back instead of any of their other games.

I feel the same way, my block list is massive. The app I use to browse, the lemmy version of Boost, also has a word filter option too, which isn't on the desktop browser interface (I don't think), so I can block names of certain people and current event incidents I'm not interested in seeing any more, without needing to block communities or users. It only works when the post actually has the words in the title, so ironic memes slip through all the time, but its better than nothing.
