Oh, I think there’s still a market for physical games, new and pre-owned. But I definitely think that segment of consumers is shrinking. I used to be very pro-physical media, but in the past couple years have transitioned almost entirely to digital downloads. I definitely think there’s no justification for GameStop to…

Being anti-abortion in itself isn’t problematic.

e.g taking the stance “I disagree with abortion so if I fall pregnant I will choose not to get an abortion”

That stance is equally as valid as the alternative e.g “I agree with abortion and if I fall pregnant I may choose to have an abortion”

Neither of those choices are…

I believe all the articles hear gave me Stockholm syndrome. I ended up buying it on PC yesterday

Otters sticking together, eh?  I see how it is :P

Yep. We put our deposits down, and moved on. It’s a handheld console; there’s not exactly a ton to keep discussing.

I linked it there for those reading the story but unfamiliar with what the videos actually were, but the vid has now been removed because that was also a stupid idea.

I think it highlights that the game was always supposed to be a “play little bits at a time” game that released during a global pandemic that kept us all in doors.

What this is, is a way to lower their overall risk and cost of keeping the PS3/Vita versions of the stores open.

So long as they’re transacting money there, there have to be additional controls, oversight, regular audits and lots of other things. But if they’re just transacting made-up “Sony Bucks” then it’s a much…

I can respect this take as others have said, when you lose a lot of that gaming time you had or don’t have at the moment. This type of game really is a gem where you can get your gaming session in without a lot of lead time to “get into it” or make progress. I’ve been finding it hard to start or get back into some…

This is why I’ve put so much time into Hades. One run takes 20-30 minutes typically. I can knock it out after work but before dinner.

This. Not everyone who loves video games has the luxury of sitting and playing for hours on end. I’ve developed a real appreciation for games that respect my time. 

I sense you’re a fellow old person (i.e., ~30-40) and thus appreciate your old person review. These are the kind of takes I like.

I actually kind of dig going back to the same levels over and over with slightly different variations. It’s a game I feel that’s all about rewarding memorization and mastery, and there’s enough variety and discovery to still feel good hours later. It’s that same feeling I get when playing a Destiny strike ive played a…

Like Returnal, we don’t need manual saves, we need save and quit. Just the ability to stop playing and go to bed, or go make dinner. 

I think it’s fucking ridiculous that we allowed a bunch of racists to commandeer the sign for “okay”. It sets a precedent that they can potentially do this for whatever other sign they want. This was a well established symbol way before these morons, or straight up trolls on 4chan, started this shit.

I mean, I’m not saying I want to be Thanos... but I wouldn’t mind a game set in the ‘post-snap’ universe, either. (And yeah: I also found the stuff in Endgame about ‘what the world became after the snap’ significantly more interesting than ‘what the return of all the people meant’ stuff.)

As far as Palpatine goes, yes, you’re totally right. Palpatine was a shadowy figure without much story that got retread with an origin story covering three movies and seven seasons of a TV show and then got retread again 40+ years after his original appearance. There doesn’t need to be anything more there.

I think the line is usually in regards to what’s “too real”. Ordinary people living peacefully and enjoying videogames are more likely to be dealing with suicidal ideation and self-harm than they are to be getting into high-octane gunfights.

I specifically put the exact amount required into my Steam wallet the night before. My thinking was the less Steam has to talk to other services, the better. Likely just luck, but it worked for me after only a couple refreshes.

You kinda just described everything in star wars. Anikan, Ashoka, Omega, Ezra, Luke, Grogu and Rey all have a pretty similar act 1. Annoying, Mystery kid being discovered by wise old character or characters taken in and/or trained.
