Assassin's Creed is the best example I can think of. It added a store to literally buy gear. Also see like every MMO. This one is more of a reach, but I'd also say something like Hunt: Showdown falls victim to this, as it would be awesome if you could see a hunter and know their "power level" by the cosmetics.

Horizon, both ZD and FW, are a modern example of having gear progression that exists and isn't ruined by microtransactions

I feel like gear progression is massively underrated. I love to dress up with my muscley rpg man, and make him look cooler and more awesome as he gets stronger. I don't want the best cosmetics locked behind a paywall. In MMOs it also just murders any respect/cred you get from having awesome gear that needed you to clear an epic raid or similar.

I get the whole cosmetics thing for "free to pay" e-sport-esc games though, where there's not really any gear progression

Yeah totally, fighting it also helps buy more time and minimise the "too fast" part

Well, your comment was generic of all ages. Not saying something along the lines of "16 year olds are intelligent enough to vote", which I would agree with.

We can just just lower the 18 to 16 and resume the same conversation. No need to be condescending, you're turning a misunderstanding into a disagreement

Lmao, the article is literally talking about children under the age of 10

Exactly, the Ukrainian seasoning costs way too much to import nowadays

Fairly sure 2 of them are those vegans and the other is just being contrarian for the sake of it.

It's a genuinely uplifting post, and there's not much to say other than it being good news, so the more disagreeable sort are poking holes

That's a nice dream, and in my perfect world that would be how it worked

You're kinda right, but the law at least in the UK still has no fault evictions, and the legislation proposed to get around that doesn't penalise made/bad "faults". Same with jobs, it's easy enough to manufacture an excuse

Also, normalising insults based on immutable characteristics is just not good. It harms the good people with those same characteristics

I'm honestly not sure if this is a better outcome than him being dead. I think the new even more paranoid batshit Trump is doing way more damage than his literal death would have
