“Our country is going in the wrong direction,” O’Donnell says in the video. “Toxic divisions are tearing our families and our society apart.”

That’s definitely part of it yeah. I think a lot of game studios would be fine if executives spent less time meddling and trying to get them to chase the latest big money maker and let the team of passionate creative people come up with a game that they are really excited about and let them develop it.

Shit, it’s been gel pens and those dumb “silly band” things that supposedly looked like characters but were more abstract than constellations are. As long as it is a thing that some people’s parents won’t buy them, it can be a status symbol for kids. 

Same thing for the question “will improved GPU and CPU power make games run better?”

My personal reactions (others may think differently and I’m all for if people are more excited for some of these than I am):

Well some of that is correct. Money exists because having a central currency system that everyone agrees to use makes a billion times more sense than using a barter system or a currency tied to a finite and hoardable resource, which is why no country still uses a “gold standard” afaik.

Considering how cheap NVMe storage is getting and that console makers can get them at huge discounts over consumers by buying in bulk, anything less than 3 TB on the next gen consoles is unacceptable imo.

This seems like an easy problem to solve, at least conceptually from a dev standpoint. If there was an option to do an individual mission type not tied to a campaign, it would be easy to separate out grinders from people playing the campaign normally.

Of the few times I tried to get into MGS, one of them was MGS4. It had a lot of the same things I disliked from trying MGS 1 and 2, namely wonky, unintuitive controls (though 4 was a lot better in that regard).

I 100% believe that a lot of celebrities play video games in their down time, you have to be like 75 or older to not have had video games be around in some form during your teens/young adult years. Plus it’s an easy hobby to pick up and put down quickly and I assume most celebrities just get their stuff carted around…

I dunno, considering the release hype cycle nowadays I actually feel very confident that if we don’t currently know about a game’s release in the latter half of the year by this point, then the only thing we'll get is whatever gets delayed from their currently planned summer release. 

Oh man, the certified Gamers™️ are gonna be mad about this. A playable woman, in their game? And on top of that, she’s black? And there’s a whole section of the game teaching about the history of black baseball players (or as they will label it as: “teaching woke CRT propaganda”)?

I don’t read comics because for some reason they give me headaches, so my only real exposure to the FF has been the middling to bad Fox movies so far.

That does make it a little bit better, but only in the sense that losing an arm from the elbow down is better than from the shoulder down lol. It still sucks balls.

While I agree with 11van’s point that gender and sexuality often play VERY big roles in people’s lives, I’m willing to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you meant that for a most people gender and orientation are just two parts of varied complex humans and is rarely the sole defining trait of who they are.…

That’s largely what I got from the trailer and this post. It’s not a remake, it’s a sequel that *huge sarcastic air quotes* coincidentally *end air quotes* has a very similar plot, similar imagery (down to individual shots from specific similar scenes), and doesn’t require you to view the original to understand it.

Or to summarize the girlfriend’s reaction more succinctly:

You still have until they get close to releasing the last chapter before you really need to bother starting to play any of them. That’s what I’m doing. Why play now then wait a few years when I can just play them near the release of the last part? Hell, there will probably be a "Complete series box set" released with…

People get too hung up on this shit. Like especially considering we already know there’s a bunch of multiverse shit with the end of this game, literally none of the deaths matter. I have a 75% expectation that if this game survives long enough to get a proper ending after the live service shit, it will go the…
