Look at all the downvotes... a simple google search would tell you it's true.

I've never played Valheim, I think the closest think to Enshrouded that I've played would be Trove.

I've clocked over 45 hours in the past 3 days. I was level 15 before I figured out how to use a bow non-Skyrim style lol. Night time and the shroud have me jumping left and right. The building has been amazing, as well as the farming. I found an old inn, cleaned out the skeletons and broken furniture, moved all my chests and workers inside of it, added a large farm out back and planted evergreen trees out front, hell I even went and mined some clay to fix the tiles on the roof.

Yeah I'm just avoiding the castle fight as a solo ranged player.

Also fun fact, without doing the castle fight you can't traverse the Pillars of Creation... but the mountain is made of limestone, so I just you know, dug my way through it. Really wanted that Fossilized Bone.

You don't need to go all the way to Somalia though, the Somalian gangs are already here trafficking drugs.

Seriously. It was like, "yes, YES, wait what, hmm, absolutely, again what, uhh, wait but you said, well yeah".

That's not a point though, valid or otherwise.

Do you know where the money gets spent when you come up with original ideas? Into the trash can. It's literally paying people to write down ideas on paper or in code, iterating, and then throwing them out, over and over again.

AAA titles also spend a truckload on voice acting and mocap. You don't need to mocap a round sheep monster. Sure, you could be incredibly stupid and pay Alan Tudyk to voice act the sheep, or pay Vin Diesal millions to say "I am Groot" 300 different ways, but no one should be ashamed for not doing so.

You confused cheap with profitable.

Consumers are stupid. They seldom want something new, more often than not they want something familiar with a few slights twists. Movie studio's don't do reboots because they're lazy, they do it because people keep fucking going to see them.

A handful of people online complain every year about how "Sports Game Franchise '23 is just SGF '22 with some new player skins" and yet it still sells like hotcakes. If your goal is to make money, why wouldn't you do that, there's no financial incentive to spend more money on development.

I starting playing MMO's with the Ultima Online beta, and was in a number of other betas over the years. Vanguard, The Chronicles of Spellborn, etc. The number of beta players who kept shouting "it needs race X from WoW" and "why aren't there any druids like in WoW" was deafening. For decades, people talked about the next "WoW killer", which meant "a game close enough to WoW for people to migrate but maybe with slightly better graphics".

I've been using Linux since the RedHat 4.1 days, and I can't stand the current communities that exist.

Haven't nut allergies climbed over the years as well? PB was never banned when I was in school.

The bigger waste of time is why this is even news. Restaurants are regulated, you can't just ignore them and only focus on the bigger picture. That's like some guy getting pulled over for doing 50 in a 35 and complaining the cops should be catching 'real criminals' instead.

Of course, and what's the culture tied to English speakers then? Do you think 2nd and 4rd generation Canadian Italians/Ukranians/wherever, who don't speak their native language, have lost all sense of their culture? Are the 2nd and 3rd generation anglophones living in Quebec incapable of adopting any of Quebecs culture?

Get over yourself.

That section of the greenway is officially closed to people on bikes ... the Project received complaints about cycling on that stretch.

Sounds about right.

Just curious, if Mandarin suddenly became the new lingua franca overnight, and your province’s Mandarin-speaking population was growing constantly, would you just throw English away and learn Mandarin?

Over several generations? Absolutely.
