Add into it that a game can offer much of the same as a movie and given that it's an interactive experience, you're not just cheering on the hero, you are the hero.

And the social experience was risky before, but with smartphones being so prevalent, it has skewed the chances heavily towards a negative experience.

I'm not good with mint either. Triggers my gag reflex something fierce.

Using Mango-toothpaste at the moment.

As I said, the article is very poorly written. I'm unsure if they mean that there's a Strat' coming that'll cost "SC" or if they are referring to the Warbond. Because Warbonds have always cost 1000SC. Zero change.

And no, it's only your responsibility whether or not you engage with a specific game. There's tons of great games out there, not every single one has to cater to your specific needs.

As the game is, it's not a necessary addition by any means. So no, it isn't a big deal.

Though I don't know the price of it, I know it doesn't take too long to play your way to enough "Super Credits" to pay for the Warbonds. I can't imagine it's so much more expensive than that.

Also, people may not like to hear it, but only they have a responsability in what hobbies they themselves choose. If you don't have the time to play a grindy live-service game, then don't buy it. Yes, that choice lies with you and you alone.

Neither the Developers or anyone else, has any responsability as to how you choose to spend you time.

There's a million cool hobbies out there, find one that fits your schedule.

Edit: The entire article reads as if it was written by someone that hasn't played the game. They use the words "Warbond" and "Stratagem" interchangeably. And write as if the Warbonds didn't cost 'Super Credits' before. You've never been able to pay for a warbond with anything else.

That's what Tolkien told us anyway.

Of the starter Frames, I'd say Mag. Hell, even endgame she's my go-to when shit gets tough.

I am in this meme and I don't know how to feel about it.

As if that has changed anything about Activision.

The list is longer. But it's among the reasons.

This guy has some really good recipes.

He can be a bit fuzzy on the amounts of the ingredients, but so far everything I've made is really good.

I can highly recommend the Caribbean-Style Mango-Habanero Hot Sauce.

My chilies are ripening and I'm looking forward to trying out some new hotsauce recipes. Sadly, due to an aphid infestation killing all the new flowers, it'll be the only harvest this year.

But with a bit of luck, the plants will survive the winter and bare fruit again next year.
