  I’m hoping Steam comes in and just destroys console gaming forever.

  Consoles made it normal to pay for a subscription service to play multiplayer. Consoles are why games want to charge $70-90. Consoles create wallet experience and “exclusive” platforms for their games.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft Confirms 'Project Helix,' a Next-Gen Xbox That Can Run PC Games⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Microsoft’s history points to this.

  Xbox live was pretty cool when it was trying to be the Netflix of Gaming. Then they shot themselves again and again in the foot.

  This is it.

  There’s a movement post-BLM where it’s not their job to explain racism to the ignorant. Very often, ignorant people refuse evidence. They waste everyone’s time and energy.

  Definitely the badly written movies. Where the whole plot would have changed if they just communicated.

  It’s crazy to me how many gay and liberal folks worked on Frasier and Kelsey Grammer is a huge Trump supporter.

  It worked for Dave the Diver.

  I honestly don’t understand the Ubuntu hate.

  Then again, my computer usage is just a glorified browser now as all my app needs are on the cloud anyways.

  Will can’t help but be himself in a movie. Instead of… You know… “Act”.

  I don’t want the alternate Django Unchained where Will Smith starts rappin and getting jiggy with it.

  And the par files to validate and repair your collection of rars.

  By being racist and against worker rights?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apple introduces age verification for apps in Utah, Louisiana and Australia⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m actually surprised it didn’t do that in the first place. Especially in scenarios like dating and finances.

  I guess trusting the app developer to implement it was their original strategy. But with all the vibe apps and countless security leaks, maybe giving it to apple/Google, who already knows what your butthole looks like, is the best solution in this use case.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Never Trump Republicans are still issuing dire warnings. Is anyone listening?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They’ve been doing it all the way since the Trump 2.0 election.

  Liberals have been doing it since Trump itself.

  Project 2025 was pretty much out there.

  Epstein files are literally a guide book of who is covering things up.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Xbox’s leadership shift proves it: the gamer era is over, AI runs the show now⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The health of video games shouldn’t be measured by what Microsoft does. That’s like measuring the economy based on how a bunch of big companies are doing.

  It’s inaccurate as hell and doesn’t actually take into consideration the small folks who make up the majority.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is £70 becoming harder to justify? The rise of cheaper blockbuster games⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I have a humble bundle subscription for $15 for seven games. $2 a game and not all of them are winners.

  But when a movie ticket is $15 for a two hour movie, seven games is cheap as hell.

  And every few months, there’s a banger that surprises me and I end up growing my backlog even further.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is £70 becoming harder to justify? The rise of cheaper blockbuster games⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Same. But somebody is. All the losers who buy every edition of FIFA or CoD brand new keeps this cycle going.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨everyone agrees⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Whenever Gervais fails at a joke, he just complains about people being too sensitive and how you can’t even tell a joke anymore.

  This picture practically sums up his joke style.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨High IQ men tend to be less conservative than their average peers, study finds⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I had a few professors who were clearly Bush conservatives that I followed on Facebook. After the first Trump presidency, they were slowly flipping. By Trump presidency 2, they loudly wanted anybody but Trump.

  Of course, the unknown is who they voted for.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This past week, Lemmy has gotten really good⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Haha I don’t know about that!

  It was ingrained into me to never share anything until Facebook normalized it. I always feared some nutcase would come to my house because I made a solid yo momma joke that broke him.

  I did a/s/l in a vague way, telling people I was 1-2 years older than I was, which was required to meet hotties also in the AOL chatz.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This past week, Lemmy has gotten really good⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It feels a lot more organic. Once in a while, I get into a heated argument where we go back and forth.

  But it doesn’t feel like I’m arguing with an obvious troll. Just two people with disagreements.

  On Reddit, argue with someone and they go, “Yeah will you’re a cuck and you post on lolcats” and then you find out theyre a Indian teen or a bot.

  I saw a meme (which could be based on a real message) that said “they” (a Japanese game company) is rewarding their devs by giving them a week to go visit their family.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This past week, Lemmy has gotten really good⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m using Sync (I’m lazy with getting new apps and it hasn’t pissed me off yet) and the button is called “Everything”. So I guess it’s the All section!

  Because I love wavelengths but it doesn’t feel the same. It just goes through me. ☹️

  I wonder if Japanese companies are paying attention to FromSoft. I absolutely love that FromSoft reuses assets and improves their base engine. You can see the evolution from DS1 to Elden Ring (and Sekiro), releasing a game every year or two.

  Growing up - Dragon Quest 1-4 were built on the same engine with minor improvements. FF 4-6 wasn’t a massive leap, but a gradual jump in graphics.

  Yakuza games seem to release yearly. They have built a workflow where people work on the same mini games and “slot” it in for whatever the newest release it is.

  As much as I shit on Ubisoft, they really dialed in on their engine and tools to crunch out cookie cutter checklist open world games.

  Thinking about it, all my examples could also have been plagued with toxic crunch culture.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Young gamers in Japan may not be forming the same attachment to Final Fantasy or Dragon Quest because modern dev cycles are as long as their childhood, users theorize - AUTOMATON WEST⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I do remember it. And honestly, I was annoyed that it was only Part 1 of a trilogy.

  During that time, I was already pretty sick of movies that push to be a trilogy. So I wonder how many gamers are like me who are waiting for the entire FF7 remake to be released before they play it.

  What an odd thing to say with such a bold username.

  I know this guy who seemed to be unfamiliar with social norms. Basic shit like saying please and thank you. Then I met his mom, who was equally as ignorant as he was.

  We went to her fast food, and I watched them both just stare at the cashier, grab their food, and just walk off. There were a few other examples of clearly missed social agreements that we all take for granted.

  I’m 90% sure they weren’t being cruel psychopaths to lowly cashiers.

  But I’m also not sure where the line is for being neurodivergent versus just being an asshole.
