3/547 certainly doesn’t seem like much of a “tradition.”

Yeah, I got the Spyro remaster trilogy when it came out, and was reminded of just how short the average console game was back in the day (if, of course, you were good enough that you didn’t need to repeat levels over & over to finish them)

But without getting rid of their state legislature gerrymandered majorities, and control of the school boards, no meaningful/modern science/health education would be allowed to be taught there in the first place. “Parents rights” to keep their kids indoctrinated & ignorant, wheeeee.

Hey, now. It’s obviously the “freedom” of religious zealots to inflict their beliefs on everyone around them.  /headdesk

and how I can make the Bahamas and Family Islands, a region I care so deeply about, whole again.

Good to know. 

Of course, “different back” doesn’t mean a lot in a world where 98% of players are using opaque-back card sleeves.

That much multi-classing never leads to a good build.

While I certainly enjoy crafting in open-world RPGs like Skyrim or Fallout, or in (duh) survival/crafting games... yeah, I agree that it doesn’t need to be shoved into every damn game. If you want to space out upgrades, just let people collect (one, maybe two) currency and buy stuff from vendors; or reward them for…

Originally released in 2020 in a notoriously bug-ridden and barely-playable state...

Edgerunners anime gave it a boost.  Bunch of new people bought it, players spiked.  It’s been 50k+ on weekends and evenings.

In most games NPCs speak to you using your name not gender,

Who cares how someone else enjoys a single player game?

Hey now, it’d be “outside the jurisdiction of the federal govt”, so that makes it small/local/self-rule, and therefore inherently awesome.  /s

This.  Yes, a Xenogears remaster wouldn’t suck.  But a Xenosaga remaster would be good too.  (still have my discs, but my PS2 isn’t doing well.)

Whereas I buy very few new games a year, and keep going back to old games to replay them (helps that many of them are openworld/sandbox/RPG/etc type games that you can play differently. So I want to “own” (ha!) my games, and have no need for a vast library of options to download next week.  (still have a shelf of PS2…

Hmm.  Some years I end up getting it for full price because it always seems like the only sales are from sketchy places (ebay or those weird key resellers that the Inventory keeps linking to).  Reputable sales are few and far between.  Or I just don’t know how to find them.

but certainly not what Sony would have been hoping for given the enormously improved nature of the subscription service.

Well, once you’ve redefined “far left” to mean “anything to the left of Alex Jones”...   /whee
