I’ve backtracked a few times and it’s great. When you’re at low levels it’s more like equipping and unequipping skills as you need them. Really cool way of doing a level tree!

I thought this article would be about why tf they made the charging pad so small and the phones so picky about being lined up. THAT’S my complaint with the MagSafe charger right now. 

> So if EA can do that in Madden, just imagine what else devs will come up with.

There’s certainly a software side, no? I’m also talking about the number of assets that need to be loaded into RAM at a time, e.g. when fast traveling across medieval England. 

The devs having hallucinations is probably how it came to be in the first place.

What better way for kids to learn valuable lessons about gluttony and how it can lead to being taken over by homicidal sentient food that wants to take over your body and mind?!

But imo those things are still not at the same level as 2D to 3D, or SD to HD, or 1080p to 4k. Photo-realism and fps aren’t major draws for everyone. Like, I appreciate them when done well, but as long as it isn’t total jank I don’t need it.

On the contrary, they were a super idea. Because I traded in my old almost-OG PS4 for a shiny new Pro in early 2019 while Gamestop had that absurd trade-in deal, likely to move Pro stock before the PS5 was announced. I basically upgraded on a major discount. And now I feel zero need to upgrade, especially with so many…

Do we know if production was slowed down because of COVID? If so, that could be part of it. Also more people at home and having time for games.

I stand by my original comment.

Well there was a final showdown, but right, it wasn’t the focus of the endgame. I appreciated that.

I guess I just didn’t find the cliffhanger especially compelling/necessary. The main game was about a (reformed) man and his son laying the mother to rest. That was accomplished. The cliffhanger implies Kratos will have to go back to his god killing ways, which, eh.

Agreed. It was a story about a dude and his son going on a personal journey. I am satisfied with that, and from a story perspective I’m not sure we need anything else.

This is much easier to read given what didn’t happen last week.

And the concept is neat! I get it! But the execution was god awful.

SO OFFENSIVE.

Yup this is my profile picture today. Because it’s damn true. Unless we summon the giants voters and defeat Majora Trumpism before the Moon fascism falls and crushes everything.

I mean I posted this today too. It’s a joke in the sense that it’s dark humor, but it’s serious because the next day+ could actually end our democracy as we know it.
