Yeah, I don’t feel like developers are doing anything that demands a new console. If anything, I could see some “slim” versions of a PS5 and just keeping this console around a while. There’s nothing that seems like it’s heads and shoulders above what you could do with a PS4 other than just using some prettier…

I’m a lifelong console gamer, but I hate consoles. I like Playstation. My longtime gamer friends have XBoxes. I’d love for more games to be cross-platform and crossplay multiplayer. Exclusivity is only good for the console makers.

I was done from the start. I hate crafting mechanics almost as much as I hate base-building mechanics. In the real world, I have never *had* to make anything from scratch, and when I do, it’s always worse than what a professional could do. I’m not building a house by chopping down logs - I’m going to a real estate…

... oh. I thought it was going to be something offensive but this is just business stuff. I don’t own any media I buy these days - just about everything is a subscription and I understand the fact that when I cancel my subscription I’ll also cancel my access to that media. That is the agreement.

To each their own. I haven’t played an online game with strangers in close to 10 years. I’ll stick to Indies and private groups with my friends.

I have a PS5 and a Series S and my year in review showed that I played them almost equally. The difference is I only played like 5 games on the PS5 and somewhere around 20 for the Series S. It’s worth it just for Gamepass.

According to my brother in law, the only thing his kid wants from family this year is Robux. Sorry kid, my relatives rarely bought me videogames when I was growing up, and now I see why. He’s getting books and outdoor activities from me. (I’ll be buying myself videogames instead - I’m too far gone).

Yeah it’s not hard as in difficulty but “hard sci-fi” as a genre.

Makes sense that it was designed by Adidas - the whole thing looks like something you’d see in a Core Power yoga studio.

By that metric, you could compile 100 different TikTok videos and say they make for a better movie than Shawshank because it held your interest better. Or that an upside down Lowes bucket is a better chair than an Eames rocker because it’s good enough for you. Just because someone who’s already a fan of something is…

That’s nice for you - but that doesn’t really make it a good show by any stretch. Disney has a habit of assuming everyone is watching everything they make - and this is the latest and worst example. It’s called “Ahsoka - season 1" which kind of sells it as a stand-alone show. Except it’s just a continuation of a…

I enjoyed watching it more than Obi Wan - but it was still an incredibly bad show. In general, I’d say it was something you could watch on mute and get the same enjoyment out of, because nobody really does anything or says anything too meaningful. I enjoyed seeing the Rebels characters in live action, but I also felt…

I agree about Andor but you only get half credit for Mando since the series revolves around a force wielder trained by the Jedi and very very prominently uses lightsabers. I’d even argue that the main group of Mandos are just reskinned Jedi (hokey religion in the brink of extinction fighting the Empire - just obsessed…

Don’t hop into the comments or complain on Twitter that I spoiled this big Star Wars moment in the new Jedi sequel.

There are a lot of games out there. Maybe it’s just not fun for you. It’s fun for me - and it meets one of the marks of a “great game” in my book: I think about when I can jump back in again when I am not playing and have other life things going on. Can’t wait to jump back in later tonight.

Isn’t the Mario movie just building on the Pikachu as a Sonic movies anyway? I don't see how more videogamed themed kids movies should affect me one way or the other if I just don't watch them. 

This episode restored my hope for this season of Ted Lasso. I thought the first two episodes were good but didn’t really get me super excited other than to think “Well it’s setting things up but the rest of the season will get better.” I definitely felt like this was the “It’s getting better” installment. Everyone…

I agree simply because it makes things needlessly uncomfortable. Like, the murder, cannibalism, all that, yeah of course it’s horrific, but I don’t know anyone who’s been a victim/survivor of either. But when I watched this episode I just thought of all the people I knew who I should specifically tell to NOT watch…

I never saw enough to know if that was resolved, but I always guessed it was just the obvious. “God creates man, man creates robot dinosaurs, robot dinosaurs eat man, Aloy inherits the earth.”

Same. I thought it was pretty and the concept was new (even though it wasn’t really my thing) but I really disliked the voice acting (with the exception of Aloy) and don’t remember the story at all.
