A fitting move considering their last decade of games have been complete abortions! Just remembered something I haven't thought of in years: after Microsoft gave BUNGiE the boot, their next project was "Crimson Steam Pirates?" A mobile game which didn't take off.
oh yeah I forgot about that lol literally never played it but I remember the icons on bnet

What a waste of $3.6 billion
for real, a studio with a history of ingration and rebellion, most recently having gone so far as to have become a completely self published enterprise, and sony thinks this will be a profitable endeavor? perhaps, if Bungie's upcoming IP in development is a PS5 exclusive there will be significant payoff, and I will almost certainly be playing it on my ps5 since there have been no titles I've been interested in since Demon's Souls, but an IP worth 3.6 billion? and given Bungie's track record of not buying themselves out but making deals for their freedom? for some reason I doubt they will be able to emulate Halo's success for Sony, in spite of how natural the partnership seems given the Destiny exclusives they've offered playstation I can only imagine Sony has determined that the best course of action is to acquire as much independent talent as possible, starting with bungie as they are the largest independent studio today if they attempt to acquire CDPR next, or soon, my theory will be confirmed, and it will become clear that the 9th gen console war will be determined by ownership, and Sony will be hedging its bets with studios that desire creative freedom for exclusives, while microsoft will deign acquiring publishers such as bethesda and activision-blizzard most profitable

yeah, it seems like discord has started eliminating many forums of our nature
I come back from time to time to see if there are any topics of interest, or to ask questions that I feel require extended discussion, which is an advantage forums have over instant messaging, but for the most part, I guess we should all just be grateful that Cheat sees this place as worthwhile to keep around as a sort of resume project
although we have slowed in activity, many of us are still present, and although we have said most of what any of us will ever want to say to each other in this format, we can still communicate in this way when we need to
I think, that in this natural evolution there is no sorrow, rather a beauty
also I blame verb ban him immediately

I ran into a few locked chests early on and came back later after finding the quest that got you the key. I haven't actually come across any of those though, guessing it's because I didn't spend much or any time looting houses. There's a lot of items in the world that say locked if you can't do anything with them, like alphy said.
Interestingly, I've got a huge collection of ported witcher 3 models. Never saw that chest in those files either. Not that it means anything, just weird that I sunk a solid month into that game and never bumped into those.
they appear in almost every boss room and at the end of almost every quest as well, for example there's one in avallach's lab, a dirty one on the island near Aki's remains, one at the top of the tower you go to for the white lady quest, etc they're literally everywhere this one is on your way back out of the var Attre's house after giving Rosa a fencing lesson they seem placed strategically to reward you for completing quests a la borderlands, but if nobody knows anything about opening them maybe CDPR decided to just cut that and didn't bother removing them from the game, or intentionally left them in because they knew it would upset me

No amount of searching has yielded any results, I can't even find a name for these things, nobody seems to have anything to say about them. What is the deal with these locked chests that are EVERYWHERE. Does anyone know anything at all? Are they just here to drive me crazy?

Hearing the story of a civilian in the US being tried and sentenced to death by a military court is deeply disturbing, beyond any regard to the crime he committed.
that was 30 words
who gives a shit
i don't think anyone "gives a shit" that you can't follow basic instructions, per se, but that doesn't change the fact, nor does it make it any less funny to point out (only makes it funnier, really—but then you'd need a sense of humor)
okay

I have a similar opinion about gluttony as you have about lust.
It's disgusting and I hate it, but it's beyond doubt the sin I find most indulgent.

Just for uploading some songs and footage that he deleted in the end when they sent him a cease and desist?
Not exactly. Here's what happened, more or less. So, the songs leaked and Marty decided to upload them since they were already out and there's no official way to hear his music. Bungie sends him a cease and desist, tells him they're going to release the songs themselves, and Marty does the right thing and decides to take them down. Then, Bungie releases the songs as bonus content available exclusively with the Destiny vinyl soundtrack, which was available only in limited quantities. Marty said fuck it and reuploaded the songs since obviously there's still no way to listen to them officially except on a fucking record. I don't really care about the fact that bungie was legally in the right or that Marty knew this would end up happening. They fucked him coming and going and this is obviously about spite, not money.

I just remembered something I haven't thought off in years:
The official BUNGiE app (before it become know as "Destiny") was only available for iOS and Android since 2009.
BUNGiE still had ties with Microsoft back then yet there app wasn't available for Windows Phone?
I believe bungie had cut ties with microsoft following the release of Halo 3 in '07, and continued to develop the Halo series as per the terms of their spinoff agreement. Microsoft owned the IP and bungie worked on it independently, whereas before bungie owned the IP and microsoft owned them.

Yee The whole Lumia line had great cameras.
And ran windows phone. Man that was a great OS.
man it really was, I clung to it until they officially stopped pushing security updates the only problem with the platform was nobody was developing for it

Would I be wrong to assume everyone who posts here is NOT a fan of Apple/iPhone like me?
My choice would be either Google Pixel 5 or Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra.
I dropped apple like a decade ago, then tried the iPhone 11 for a few months before dropping it again. Got a galaxy s21 now

I'm honestly seeing so much connection between what's happening now and the onset of WW2. Jihad rule is the next Nazi rule. Fascists are fascists, no matter how you dress it up. Godwin's Law or not, we are on the brink of another crisis here. There's an Axis in the Middle East!!! Do people not see this?
If you still need credibility from me I called the trump coup in November, months before the January insurrection happened. I also saw the warning signs as early as September. Take what I'm saying seriously please. This almost makes me want to write or get involved or something. I've been wasting time on media when serious shit is going down. but there's already a racially exclusive ethnostate that is murdering children and committing any genocides it needs to in order to make their country culturally pure it's called Israel

Tfw no sol gf to cook for you when you get home from your job at the dollar store
Unfortunately I would probably leave for work before you and get home after you lol. I generally start dinner at 11pm and have it ready around 1, depending on what we're having.

Fair enough. Working at a traditional African place right now, so I'm just used to pushback in regards to opinions. Makes sense as I'm the only white guy. Still kinda sucks when they can concoct some of the best dishes of my life, but scorn momo, poutine, or Lihapullat, alongside other dishes.
Spoiler First is Nepalese, second Canadian, third Finnish. Tried different tastes. bruh I make a mean poutine I make duck confit and add the meat with the cheese curds, using the fat to make the gravy

Don't downplay that Louisiana/Cajun cookin'. Some of the BEST cuisine in the world. Kinda biased as I'm from and have worked in plenty of New Orleans kitchens.
Spoiler Hopefully you weren't thinking I was similarly downplaying your cooking. Mashed Potatoes are one of my favourite foods, and those were some of the buttery and best I've seen. oh don't sweat it, I didn't take it that way and knew what you meant just like I didn't mean to say anything diminutive about Louisiana cooking, I just meant it like, "right now I'm doing this, but I've also done that"
