I’ve always thought roblox was dumb, but its kind of just a playground. Kids need a playground where their imaginations are free to grow and thy’re in control. Somewhere they can interact and learn how to socialize safely with other children. When i was a kid, that was a walk to the park with friends to kick a ball around, riding a bicycle somewhere, exploring, and working out some dumb activities to do… Honest question: how comfortable are you with the idea of just letting your kids go to the park by themselves for hours on end?

For better or worse, it seems like sandbox creativity games like roblox are filling that void for some kids. Not saying roblox is an answer to a problem, just that kids seem to be utilizing it as a playground where they get to be creative and in control. Not sure why I’m bringing this up. It’s just a thought that occurred to me recently.

I don’t even own an Xbox and I think this would just be a good thing in general.

I’m more inclined to blame Microsoft for innovating subscriptions for online multiplayer & MTXs on consoles. As well as advertising on dashboards and everywhere else.

It’s just a favorite that I replay at least once a year. It came out when I was the just the right age for it, and even today it’s like chicken soup for my soul.

Then I’d paint cave walls with my stories for future generations to discover.

Oh holy hell that’s a good idea. I’m not a citizen of EU, but I am currently a working resident. Would my name qualify for this?

Without using any videos, explain to me what this is.

I just started playing Palworld like 2 weeks ago and I’ve hardly found myself playing much else. A friend and I have a private server going and we’re just exploring, catching mons, tackling towers, and trying to make our base as efficient as possible.

Reddit investigator guy doesn’t want me to see those links either.

The filing argues that the price increase, which was announced July 9, is “inconsistent” with the case it made during last year’s Xbox FTC trial.

Sweet. Less stuff for more money. Next up: advertisements!

I think they’re complaining about overreaching demands from investors, not the review bombing.

Why are so many old people addicted to propaganda?

What’s that jpg of a pikachu face doing over there?

I’m stoked on reverie. I hear it’s more Crossbell 3 than Cold Steel V, and the crossbell arc has been my favorite so far.

I’m at chapter 2 of CSIV, having Reverie and Daybreak 1 to get through, I might be ready for DB2 when it launches.

Horizon is like Sony’s test franchise. First Sony franchise on a Nintendo system (lego), the game they bundled with PS5s, the only first party game on VR2 right now (and bundled with that as well), one of the first games on PC, one of the biggest AAA titles to be thrown into the subscription service, and now it apparently had a TV series that just got canned…

Funny thing is that I doubt it actually has the kind of draw that Sony just assumes it does. They’re great games, but I’m not going to pay into new hardware or services just to get more of it.

Isn’t one of the new CEOs from Guerrilla Games?

IGN probably gave it a 10/10, too

I played the whole game solo. The big boss battles take in a lot of people, but you don’t really need to interact with them. Just watch what they do and do your best to keep up, help out, and not die.

Totally, but maybe we don’t need that year right up at the front, since most readers already know the year. Maybe we can bump just that part to the back to make it a little more readable.

Because they are the developers and they want to make it that way?

Hold my beer.

Yeah. More advertising In random places just magically makes wealth happen! It’s a great wonder of the modern age!

I installed it on my deck when it first became available. There are probably updates for it at this point. Any word on mods?

agreed. should be haptics.

59% of sessions are using Xbox controllers 26% are using PlayStation controllers 10% are on Steam Decks

Are other controllers registering as xbox controllers are do people really use them that much?

Omfg that cookie banner is pure cancer.

Many of my unplayed games are PC remasters of old console games I played at a younger age. I played the games, I just haven’t played them on steam.

Amen.

They probably used a bunch of it then actually scrutinized the output.

I bought the original on GCN back in the day because I was attracted to the fantastic design. I had never seen a card-battler before and was really caught off card when I actually started playing. That said, I ended up really enjoying it and have been wanting a remake ever since iPads became a thing.

I think card battler games have come a long way since then, but it’s not bad after you learn it. And it’s nice to have a long, storied RPG to play instead of just rogue likes.

Hey! I represent that remark!

But but but… IGN gave it a 10/10!! /s

I disagree. Star Wars seems to be doing fine outside of the mainline sequel trilogy. In fact, I’d say it’s the pantheon of secondary and tertiary characters and their stories that redeemed the prequels.

Marvel is fun, but admittedly a bit cramped since everything is kind of bound to earth within a relatively limited span of modern times. Star Wars not so much. Granted, a lot circles around the Skywalker era, but a lot of stories are told that have nothing to do with the skywalkers or anything else you see in the movies. Sometimes they add significance to things we always took for granted, like Rogue One and the acquisition of the Death Star plans.

Am I right to assume you were not a fan of The Mandalorian?

Oops. I’m sorry. You’re right. Game should totally have allowed people to make their own characters. It was wrong of me to enjoy things you don’t.

A recent Digital Foundry video about the new perfect dark trailer showed a snippet of some game called “Agent 64”. I wishlisted it immediately.

I disagree. A created character can’t exist in Star Wars beyond the game they are created in. This character has the possibility of appearing in cameos across mediums.

I get the sense from how they operate that Embracer Group generally likes the taste of cool aid.

Bethesda should have put “Mario” or “Zelda” in the title if they wanted better scores from IGN.

Dude. She hurls boulders at bad guys in the trailer.

It’s IGN. They probably had this score lined up since the announcement.
