F to pay respects to this thread before it gets locked by... nm carry on

Question: Why is it 'F' to pay respects? I mean, shouldn't that be 'R'? In which language is it 'F' for 'respect'?

[Inatu Elimor]

It' s the F of foregiveness. In this respect you would expect less responses.

Venture capitalism got wind of the gaming industry and games have never been that same (aka good) since.

So much this. I feel like the people calling the shots are more like toy manufacturers now. Everything is about the merchandise - the collectible. You can't just have a ****ing game anymore you know? You have to be able to *hoard* it and have more of it than your friends, such as achievements, unique skins for characters and guns, spray on decals, pre order bonuses etc etc. I've been playind Disco Elysium recently and it's a god damn breath of fresh air! A top down point and click adventure game that feels as if each scene and piece of dialogue was carefully painted with love and attention to detail.

F - as in the F key, presumably because E was used to lean. Although E is the ORIGINAL use key as popularised by Half-Life (and I think SiN?).

there is a generation between boomers and millennials you know. by the time you figure out that everything your generation knew was bs, there will be another one making fun of you whilst exuding an air of unearned superiority. frankly humans are scum no matter the generation, falling into the same traps iteration after iteration until the sun explodes, we blow ourselves up playing global thermonuclear war, or we render our biosphere uninhabitable through unchecked greed, whichever happens first.

Great. Now I want to play DEFCON instead of MWO.

Plague Inc. is fine too. And you can role-play as a member of https://www.sarna.net/wiki/The_Society

Yep, although I was referring to their use of biological WMD to kill all the things. And there is Spore and Impossible Creatures to represent their genetic experimentation

Hey all feel free to discus the changes here but please don't post Tina's information. Its borderline Doxing.

As a general Rule companies do not discuss reasons for ending contracts so don't expect an explanation.
I am still here making Events and Sales and moderation is being handled in part by Customer support.
For the Future plans for MWO that information would come from Russ directly.

So no more updates on MWO because Russ doesn't give a *$%^ about MWO anymore, if he ever did.

Surely Russ Bullocks logs in and posts some update to the forums.

... He just has to remember that some forum actually exists and that he has some account here.
But do not get desperate - his last activity here was not even two years ago ...

Using Bio-weapons to wipe out an entire planet, seems more of a Blakist thing to me.

Do not worry, when it comes to the Weapons of Mass Destruction, there is no difference between the Clans, the Word of Blake or the Great Houses.

There is:

The great houses wimp out,
The clans consider their use dishonourable
And the Blakists.... well, if the planet can still sustain life, you're not using enough...

1) The Great Houses have rescinded the Ares Conventions in 26th century. If you are posting a link, at least you should read it. All those planets nuked, poisoned or gassed during the Succession Wars can serve as the proof that no Noble House feels constrained by the Ares Conventions anymore. Today the AC has no importance, similarly how nobody cares about the Treaty of Tordesillas today.
2) The Clans have destroyed all life on entire planets such as York using WMD. The Clans only feel that something is dishonourable when something is used against them, not when they are using it.
3) The reports about WoB atrocities were often exaggerated because of misinformation or simply because of Comstar/Great Houses propaganda needs. Note that even when the Word of Blake retreated from the Capital Worlds such as New Avalon, Atreus, etc., it has not destroyed those planets with WMD.

As I said above, there is no big difference between these three groups.
