There's been a big revival of that genre over the last 10 years or so and I think Boomer Shooter was adopted as a way to differentiate it from your standard FPS. Turbo Overkill is very different from Borderlands which is very different from COD. You'll need a way to communicate that difference if you want fans to buy your game.

We've already seen the boomest shooter. Our savior hath already come and gone and left us behind to witness his passing. His name was Ultrakill.

Oh boy can't wait to see this one slog its way through 32 courts over the next 19 years and end in an unsatisfactory conclusion a decade after all parties involved have already died

I forget sometimes that the function of a jury is to establish the fact of guilt and nothing else. Deciding appropriate punishment is not within their domain, that's for the judge.

In that context I do agree with you and I suppose I retract my earlier statement.

Fair enough! To each their own. Personally the 200 hours in between shots of dopamine put me off of that. I found myself being bored most of the time I was playing the game and supposed to be enjoying myself.

Though, that said, I found myself bored most of the time running GRifts too. Modern Diablo may just be poorly designed from the base up. The glory days of Blizzard are well behind us, unfortunately.

I kind of doubt that, actually. He's already proven himself to be a useful idiot, and he's becoming less useful and more idiot as the days go by. If he does manage to get elected again he's not the one that's going to be in charge, he'll almost certainly be swamped with handlers who will instruct him on which bills to sign and what words to say in order to advance their own agenda.

My mother did this. Used her disability backpay to finance a little double-wide trailer, and the plot it's placed on is like $150 a year plus utilities. Yes she lives in a trailer park, with all the associated things that come with that, but her monthly expenses are basically nothing and she owns the building under her own name.

I'd argue that's exactly who we want on the jury. Who would know better exactly how heinous the crime is than someone who lived through it?
