I hate it when people ask me to disarm the nuclear warhead.

I sort of picture this happening more often at the graphical plateau. It used to be that these franchises needed big face lifts to stay relevant, but even that can sometimes happen with a lighting update.

The other reason might be if they want to do subtractive redesigns of the core concept but I’m still not sure what that should be for The Sims.

I wouldn’t mind either.

I recognize the risks of martyrization, but only for a movement that has certain intents and goals. Many of Trump’s base can’t even agree on what it is they like about him. They had such a hard time finding a VP that they ended up with a heap like Vance, while the Democrats were willing to let theirs become President.

I don’t understand. I see more than 6 beans in all of those containers.

We needED the justice system to sentence him. It didn’t.

Justice delayed is justice denied.

It’s a small measure, but I’d really like to see a law where gacha games need to publicly advertise their odds and allow independent verification.

The biggest effect it would have is, the odds would need to be static. Many gacha systems have been accused of putting a hand on the wheel, assuring someone “so close to their needed item” must keep going through a series of failures.

I honestly tried to get back into it with an old account. Apparently, the entire world went up in power level with no exceptions, but not my character - meaning there was literally not a single enemy I could kill across the PVE environment to gain better gear/levels to contend with enemies.

I did not feel like making a new character or redoing the tutorial so I decided to not even bother, taking it as a sign the game was poorly thought out.

The Patriots were right. The world really is controlled by memes.

Yeah, I admit, that was me. I think the rapid political cycle in news made me think the election was closer than it was.

Ooh, ooh, forgot the next step:

“I vote for this man”

The article author honestly made a very valid point, but wrapped it up with a terrible headline.

I even feel like the PS4 and Xbox One currently serve the use case of being “the cheap consoles”. There are a number of games they cannot run or would run poorly - but for their price point they’re much more of an option for the non-wealthy, primarily in other countries. It’s like it’s all one console generation with no signs of ending, and a varying range of specs.

I’m going to agree with you, but only in the sense they hired more people than they should’ve, not that they should be firing people.

I really blame Telltale Games as one studio that demonstrated this issue in a microcosm. They had some successful games. Then they hired enough extra hands that they MUST make excellent games. Their next few games were not excellent. Then, everybody gets fired.

Speak for yourself, man. I am more than happy that my Playstation 5 doesn’t have a Playstation 3 and a Playstation 2 bolted into its insides. That would make for a gargantuan console with tons of electronics waste.

At the time, backwards compatibility was attained by putting a miniature PlayStation 2 inside the console. It really wasn’t sustainable for the future.

And yet, none of it will matter because anyone who had even been considering voting for the racist cheeto is infinitely entrenched and bound by their own logic.

I mostly play new games, but I respect admiration for old games. It’s fun to see people speedrun old SNES games - but it’s disturbing to think an entire generation will just become inaccessible to history, even if a lot of the games in question were kind of bad.

I actually agree with you in the case of online multiplayer games - I don’t think the devs can keep them available forever. But when a game is singleplayer, like The Crew, it feels like planned obsolescence.

Downvoted for censoring Gamers. I will always downvote people using that stupid fucking asterisk. Don’t be a child.

Hasn’t one of his staff even said that Trump watches an insane amount of TV? That could genuinely be the reason he goes into these ramblings.

Let’s continue the run on sentence

…on the moon…

There’s a game around time travel called Quantum Break that brings up this topic.

Someone brings detailed messages to their past self…and acknowledges, as a way of proving it, that September 11 is going to happen - but due to the way time works, no matter who they warn or what they say, no one will believe them and nothing will change.

I don’t even know if everyone read that bit of text lore ingame, but it was pretty emotional.
