Yeah, Final Fantasy IX was horrible, and so was X, and XI, and XII, all of them suck


Cheap shitty headphones, when the Koss KSC75 exist for $20 and sound better than anything I had bought before. I have better headphones now, but $20 is $20, and I still like how small they are. Despite having HD600s and HE1000s, they’re still my go-to for the average use case.

EDIT: Here’s a list of headphones worse than $20 funny disc with ear clip:

All Bluetooth headphones (and your $500 AirPods Max)

All gaming headsets

All in-store headphones that aren’t that one set of Audio-Technicas

In other words, 100% of what the average consumer buys. Get them in on this simple trick.

I’d like to note I’ve been playing on a Ryzen 9 9950X/Radeon 7900 XTX on Linux, and it’s been going pretty well! With a couple of tweaks, it looks and runs great. Seems like they’ve turned it around a whole lot since launch.


Persona 3 Reload < Mario Party Jamboree is an unhinged take, but aight


VI could be split into a P1/P2 for its two main parts. I’d like to see a greatly expanded second half, as I felt that was one of the weaker parts of the game.


Steam Deck with no screen. It’s actually really simple, and should have been done ages ago.


It’s not minimal at all. Forbidden West load times on PS5 are radically shorter than PS4. Final Fantasy XVI’s transition from world map to area is a second-long black screen. It’s a world of difference from last generation. Nearly two minutes, to a quarter of that, is not mininal. Loading time improvements quickly add up.

PS5 versions of PS4 games consistently look and perform far better. Again, the jump between Forbidden West on PS4 and PS5 is night and day. I’ve seen both versions, and I’ve seen plenty of footage. They’re easily distingushable. The PS5 is literally the PS4 Pro’s graphics at a locked 60FPS.

Yes, the PS5 is disappointing–but stop fucking lying.

What if they made a good game after the PS2 era /s

Finally, a game I can actually look forward to playing.


🙏There🙏is🙏no🙏inflation🙏only🙏price🙏gouging🙏



This is a complete tonal change. Absolutely agree that it’s worse looking.



I don’t care if it’s free, take that shit out the game


The point in their presentation was having graphics modes be an immovable 60FPS instead of 30FPS. Presumably, every game with a performance mode (that was previously 60FPS) will now run at 120FPS. That’s effectively just doubling everything. It’s certainly not a bad product, but it isn’t for everyone.


Wow, that’s… crunchy.


Easy? Xbox Series. Fancy? DualSense. Comfy? Switch Pro. Beeg? Duke.


Yeah, but it’s Ahoy, so it’s much cooler


I would buy an Xbox if it was essentially a Steam Deck with no screen, but better hardware. Then again, it wouldn’t support Linux, so…




Ever? Maybe within the Final Fantasy series (VI, IX, X, XII and XVI are all much better, even IV, V, and XV by some standards), but ever?



I have a set of Hifiman HE1000s. A little overkill, but damn, Tetris Effect is so fun to play with these headphones.

On the complete opposite end of the spectrum, the Koss KSC75 are a favourite since they’re compact, comfy, and sound great. Also, $20. Can’t go wrong. Great for pretty much anything with a headphone jack, like the portable audio players that everyone has in their pocket nowadays, haha! Yeah.



Or Startpage. Mojeek. Searx. Qwant. The lot…


Because it has the graphical horsepower of an iPhone 4s


It may also be for aesthetics. Some people like 30FPS for a more cinematic appearance, while some prefer 60FPS, or even 120FPS. Choices are good.



Yes, we Final Fantasy XII fans exist. There’s like, two of us. This is great!



That’s bizarrely specific but cool


I’ve been supporting Wikipedia with a monthly $5 donation. By now, ~$150 in total! I want to support all kinds of great projects, but I don’t have an infinite amount of money to share between everything that exists 😔

I might switch to a monthly donation to The Internet Archive just because of how crucial its existence is.



That’s cool and all, and I’m a huge fan of LEGO games and Horizon, but, eh?



Finally someone else gets it
