  • I don’t know how it was when you were a kid, but there’s been a good number of pretty damning stories since then.

    Especially the one about the fucking overt pedophile with the rabid “edgy” fanbase and Roblox having to be coerced into doing something.

    Or the shady team-developed games, that are not being controlled in any way by Roblox, but where minor developers are being “recruited” and exploited by adults.

    Or the way Roblox itself obfuscates how much you can profit from your games with absurd fees over fees over terrible fake money exchange rates. And how it encourages shitty monetization practices.

    Je m’inscris en faux quant à cette analyse biaisée des accomplissements humains.

    Also GLaDOS is the worst AI you’d want for taking care of the environment in a post-human world. She builds auto-replicating sterile laboratories, that can’t end well.

    Yeah, I got it mostly for the campaign, hoping for more Baldur’s Gate. It was so disappointing.

    The story was uninspired, but most of all solo gameplay was so boring. One character, one NPC companion and you couldn’t control them in any way, starting at low level, all of that made your strategic choices practically inexistent.

    And then the engine breaking everywhere causing it to rewind your action after 5 seconds because it suddenly remembered “hey, you were not supposed to be able to go there, we’ve put a bunch of knee-high crates to block that 5 meter wide empty hallway!”

    Yeah, well not even French Normans believed that.

    In exchange for land and a title, they converted as a formality and where indistinguishable from the rest of French nobility in a generation or two. Basically an afterthought.

    Contrary to popular depictions, vikings were generally pragmatic people.
