Oh god, there was a sex mini game? Like, an unironic one (I could picture Yakuza pulling it off because it’s so fucking weird).

Honestly? I didn’t even remember it having a fixed camera. The aging poorly was in regards to pretty much the full trappings. It was the most blatant (To an obnoxious degree) male power fantasy tropey bullshit I have literally ever experienced. And look, don’t get me wrong, I grew up on video games and can deal with a…

I mean, the film industry is a pretty prime example of this and it’s been functioning that way for like 50 years now. Movie comes out in theaters at a pretty decent markup and the people who want to see it ASAP pay that premium. We’ve moved even further into this model in the last few years with home theater setups…

Yeah, the thing that kills it for me is that if you’re even remotely invested in the Sony ecosystem already, this is a pretty lackluster lineup. Like, I’d love to play Returnal, but I’d rather just catch it on sale than pay $15 a month for temporary access to it, and I’m not at all opposed to the general concept of…

Maybe it’s a matter of having not played it when it came out, but I dug into the original GoW for the first time a few years ago (Post new one) and ooooooooof. Might be you dodged a bullet.

Gamepass is fucking great with indie stuff. I’ve never been much interested in it because I don’t really care for Microsoft’s stuff (360 is the only MS console I ever owned and I had like three games total for it), but I snagged this three free months of PC Game Pass trial the other day and I had no idea how strong…

Yeah, but they don’t even have any day one plus 400 or so games on here. Literally nothing released post 2020 is a rough look.

Switch Online also dropped with a much better classics lineup, despite only being one console available on it to start. They had Zelda, arguably the best Mario game of all time, and a couple really good third party options in Double Dragon and Ghost n’ Goblins. Best I’m seeing on here is Syphon Filter?

I’ll be honest, as someone’s who’s already pretty invested in the Sony first party ecosystem, I’m pretty wildly unimpressed.

(Went to add it to my Wishlist and it’s trending on Steam now, well done!)

Always room for more Metroidvanias. Finally playing Ori and the Blind Forest for the first time (Was looking for something to stream when I wasn’t feeling my go-to) and I am absolutely loving it. Might check this out when I finish those two games.

Die mad about it.

This idea makes me feel squicky. It feels like there’s a whole lot of room for this to be an horrifyingly problematic and offensive mess.

Neat. Means literally nothing because it almost certainly doesn’t cover contractors, who make up the overwhelming majority of their workforce. On top of that, considering Amazon’s notorious nature as a “productivity over all else” employer, I’m completely unimpressed if this doesn’t also come coupled with consequence…

Original Soul Reaver would realistically need something more than just a full remaster. Even with upscaling mods, the game is just really, really ugly at this point.

I feel like he’s going to wholesale slash almost all funding for their moderation team under the auspices that it’s largely unnecessary in his little town square free speech utopia.

Watch out! You’re going to get inundated with crypto bro greys yelling that he’s “African American.”

I did delete it, but I also already had plenty of things in place. I’ve got a big, honkin’ storage on my phone (256GB), so I just keep my own music library (I was ripping CDs as far back as High School in 2002 and I had a pretty damn nice collection). I also managed to get PocketCasts Premium back when it was just a…

Good lord. Elon Musk IS Lyle Lanley isn’t he?

No one will defend anything as fervently as Musk bros will defend their weird idol.
