I get that. I watched the OG series last summer when it was put on Netflix, and...it was certainly...something. (It gives me a very similar reaction to trying to decipher Kingdom Hearts)

I’m not here to complain or sob, just...share, I guess. I got laid off yesterday from the first place I’ve ever been proud to work for, a place where I’d bought into the company culture and thought I’d done well. But projects were slowing down, so a 10% staff cut across the board was deemed necessary by someone much…

Instead of the angels, shouldn't each one just show Shinji, REI, or Asuka curled up in a ball having a crippling existential crisis? And nothing you do can pull them out of it?

All I want is some goddamn folders.

Congrats on the first playthrough! My copy doesn’t arrive until tomorrow, but I’m assuming he’s handled similarly as he was in the original. Barret’s a great character, and while he’s introduced in a strange way with all that Mr T bravado, by 1/3 through the original game he gains tons of depth, humility, and nuance.…

Barret: “AVALANCHES DON’T CLOSE DOORS, THEY BLOW ‘EM RIGHT THE F*CK OPEN, YA SPIKY-HAIRED ASSHOLE”
Cloud: “Okay fine, I’ll stop closing doors.”

From what I’ve seen, that seems to be a texture loading bug rather than an art design / modeling failure, so most likely that will be patched at some point.

JJ Abrams struggling through writer’s block on Rise of Skywalker...

Plus Thanos being there adds all kinds of issues if I’m remembering the plot correctly. It’s great for tension, but...no way Hawkeye gets away from him after nearly getting beat down by his henchmen. Plus this would alert Thanos to the fact that the Avengers are after the stones much earlier in his timeline, right?

I took my first baby steps into the turnip world when the pig was there last Sunday, so on a whim I bought some (I’d had a great fishing day prior to this, so I splurged on 75k). Out of curiosity, I then followed an article to the AC Discord, which looked like a fucking nightmare that was the antithesis of the entire…

Gaming’s my primary hobby and basically a second job at this point based on time spent, and I probably put 15-20 hrs per week of that into PC gaming using my DS4. And no matter whether it’s sitting in a chair or on the couch, that works great for me, because its 6-8 hr charge (still working great after 6 years) is…

Those first hundred hours...

My TV remote uses a watch battery that I’ve never had to change. I use my phone as a flashlight if needed and have a big Ryobi shop light that’s rechargeable. My smoke detectors use 9v. While I have a few oddball devices that use AAAs (wireless mouse, digital scale, etc), the only thing in my entire house that uses…

Uhm, the last devices I had that used AAs in my house were the Wiimotes and Balance Board, which I haven’t owned in at least half a decade (and hadn’t used regularly for years before that), so once those were gone I didn’t have a need to keep my rechargeable AAs. I’m perfectly happy not having to manage batteries.…

I can see that. After years of hearing about the Xbox controller’s superiority, I’m really surprised that a brand new official controller is insanely clicky, almost to the point that it feels cheap. Not a dealbreaker, but very strange.

Obviously I have, but the last thing I owned that needed AAs were Wiimotes and the Balance Board which I gave away years ago, so I gave away the rechargeable batteries at the same time because I didn’t need them beyond that. My TV remote has used the same watch battery since I bought it four years ago. I guess my…

Considering how many pro-battery posts are swarming these comments, I’m genuinely starting to wonder if there was some kind of nefarious brainwashing shadow campaign by Energizer and Duracell to Xbox players...my replies on what I thought was reasonable experience were almost entirely “BLASPHEMER THE ACT OF OPENING A…

As someone who’s owned all three systems this gen, I want to chime in here. I’ve been totally fine with the DS4's battery life this gen - it’s not amazing, but I, and I assume most people, have a side table next to my couch that has an outlet nearby, so there’s a charging cable there that I simply plug into, and…

On the one hand, I’m glad they’re finally going beyond the PS1's controller 25 year old template and focusing on comfort, etc. Not that I have any issues with the PS4 controller, but I can see how it could be better. But it’s odd to see them at least visually (and maybe functionally? hard to tell) call back to the…

Peter Thiel, what are you doing here?
