Considering they chose to live there because Romania has some of the the weakest laws surrounding rape... maybe they deserve what’s coming to them.

Here’s a ghetto tip for the traveling gamer. If the hotel doesn’t have a steamer you can just hang your clothes on a hanger or two in the shower room (assuming a reasonable hook exists) and turn on some really hot water and close the door. It’ll steam itself in not that long time.

This really is the main reason to own a disc PS5. Games sold in actual stores are regularly 10-50% cheaper than if you buy them online. Even on release their weird Euro calculations and fees results in games that are about 10 EUR more expensive for the digital version. It’s weird how the industry’s switch to 70 dollar…

Sony first party titles are generally really good about accessibility. God of War Ragnarök was on par or better than TLoU2. It’s sad to see games with as few options as this when even not-disabled gamers benefit from some of the options available in other games. I enabled a bunch of little quality of life stuff in…

I thought the stuff in the journal was specific enough that there wasn’t a way there right now but that there would be one later. Worded in the same way as all the other various quests that end in act 1 and then continue.

I just love that a game like it got made. It’s so indulgent in all the stupid cool things in comics. The deep lore cuts are unreal. And somehow on top of that it’s also a really solid tactics game with a well executed deck builder aspect. It seems like a minor miracle that it got greenlit and then ended up being as…

The times I’ve tried it for Japanese->English it has been very accurate. Whereas Google Translate has misunderstood words and context entirely and produced some kind of garbled mess, the DeepL result was about 98% there.

Hard agree. I got ridiculously excited by the extremely cool trailer and seeing Bungie’s name. Then my excitement was set close to zero by the reveal that it’s pvp only.

Strongly recommend Deepl.com for translating Japanese. It is usually very accurate and so far ahead Google Translate in that regard that it’s frankly embarrassing for Google.

That /s is doing some heavy lifting. For whoever agrees with you, the real point is that they have read their contract and have identified some things that need to be added to ensure future job stability.

The thing that’s weirdest about this story is how he got the cards at all. Distributors don’t actually get new sets until about a week before release, and “local dealer” makes it sound like it’s an even smaller entity like an LGS.

There’s a lot of people on the autism spectrum in the speedrunning community. The rigidity and predictability of just trying and trying at the same thing is something a lot of those people crave as a means to deal with other shit that’s going on.

The lack of a 60 fps mode is pretty crazy. The last few games I’ve played on PS5 (Stranger of Paradise, RE2 Remake - admittedly PS4 games) have even had 120 fps modes. That just seems a reasonable expectation on this generation.

A thing to note with the mass firings going on in Tech etc is that a lot of the companies that have a lot of money had taken to the practice of hiring talented people just to keep them out of the hands of their competitors. So it’s not unlikely that some number of these people essentially had “fake” jobs that didn’t…

Exactly. “How many users are likely to use and benefit from this” vs. “How many hours of development would need to be dedicated to making this usable across a wide range of possible resolutions and screen sizes”. Add technical challenges like multi-account logins and stuff that the infrastructure wasn’t designed for…

Some stores let you bring in a whole box of cards and just selling it all to them. Depending on how old and rare the cards are there may be some legitimately super expensive things in there.

If there’s a single nit I just need to pick it is that these are modeled vulvae and not vaginas. The vagina is the muscle on the inside.

Would you rather there was a strict quota for every game? I’d rather creators be allowed to create what they wish without feeling like they’re forced to maintain a white:black ratio that’s acceptable to Americans. Why does a fictional world necessarily need to conform to real world norms or ideals at all?

Sounds a lot like you’re one of those who didn’t understand though. How is it a contradiction to say that there are story reasons for the way the world is?

I still feel like everyone in the global hot take economy overreacted to hell and back from Yoshida’s statement re: diversity. If you actually read what he said (and register the meaning of the actual words and not your hot take interpretation) it is quite clear that there are other ethnicities in the world but that…
