Before I click, I'm going to guess "Whitey On The Moon"?

Edit: Did not disappoint. I wanna give credit where credit is due.

This is beyond depressing. I would love to think that explicitly queer spaces would be as inclusive to transfems as anyone else, but it's clear that that's not the case.

"Rarity of coming into contact with"?

Do you not know that Clostridium Tetani is present in nearly every sample of soil from every region of the globe? Present in the feces of most mammals? It's literally one of the most widespread bacteria on earth. You only think it's rare because of how effective vaccination has been.

My friend in grammar school had a Leap Day birthday and his parents' solution was that his birthday was celebrated "the day after February 28th".

You tell me...

I think the real underlying reason is that the PVP Arena mode is basically dead and there's no true long-term PVP endgame, at least for some. Others are just assholes. But some are bored because the game is light-years wide but inches deep content-wise. No new ships in years. Odyssey is a half-baked disappointment that offers minimal content for maximum grinding while failing to deliver the only thing players have been begging for since Day One. So they gank and grief. It sucks, and it's only ever gotten worse because it seems the gankers have pretty successfully run off a lot of the folks who may have stuck around, and console players don't even get to play on the main server anymore. Putting thousands of hours into my game on Xbox and then being exiled is a rude slap in the face because "wah game dev hard". I'm sure I'm not the only person in the same boat who can't afford a PC to continue playing the actual game, either.

Tl;dr: FDev has not only done nothing to address griefers, their decisions actively promote griefing.

Yeah. 2 had the window dressing of open world, but was very much not. I did kinda miss the way traps worked in 2. I would have very much like them to be in 3, but the bombs do work better for the faster kind of combat they developed in 3. TW2 combat felt more technical, like fencing, and TW3 feels like Royal Rumble but with swords.

I just struggled hard with the gameplay. Some games throw up road blocks, but TW1 threw up entire mountain ranges for me. Maybe I just didn't quite get something in the mechanics, but it felt like the game would routinely go from playable, to "die incessantly until you grind and overlevel". A lot of the game's difficulty felt like it was just level-gating progression blocks. Maybe I was just trying to go too fast? I admit that I may have just brute-forced my way through things that probably had a more nuanced or subtle solution.

This is also not to say that I dislike TW1 at all. I quite enjoyed it. It just frustrated me more than 2 and 3 combined.

The Witcher 1 is incredibly painful to play, though. I played through it, but it felt incredibly unbalanced at times and just wasn't as well designed as the sequels.

Absolutely. Daggerfall is an excellent game! It has some bugs, sure, and the procedural dungeons are sometimes broken, but it is such a fun game that really pushed what was possible in its time.

Play The Witcher 2. Seriously.

Now TW1... shudders
