Lottery tickets are usually 16+ too. It’s probably kicked after that

So what about the government, healthcare and banking apps?

Not all have websites sadly. Virgin for example got rid of their web app and now direct you to download them mobile app as the only way to manage your accounts outside of the brick and mortar branches. Obviously I now rarely use that credit card, if ever. But others may have their main bank accounts and mortgages etc with such a bank and that would suck.

2 is one of my favourite fighting games

Right back at ya

Are you serious? You think being competitive is what makes people only play these games?

Sweetie, there are plenty of other competitive games out there and usually they have transferable skills.

We don’t “need” the amount of fighting games we have but people rotate between them on a regular basis because they don’t have the same kind of predatory practices that keep people locked into a specific one where if they switch to another they’ll feel like they’ll lose out on their progress and the potential that they then wasted their time on the previous game.

Actually sony tried to fight it because of the COD franchise mainly but didn’t get into suing them, but they were a big part of the opposition when it came to governments giving approval of such a huge merger

Its the same reason why WOW has persisted as long as it has, even with how dodgy the company has become year after year, they’re still tied at the top because it’s player base is locked in.

Its over saturated because each of these games gate unlockables either under microtransactions or enough time that it effectively becomes the only game you play.

Boomer shooters welcome other boomer shooters, they only have a finite time worth of content before you’re replaying them for the sake of replaying them.

For this game it was either this or the game never released at all though

Aren’t you thinking about them more by having to explicitly think of replacing the a with an asterisk when you want to refer to them?

Gaymers

2 is PS2 then everything after until the Norse games is PS3 and PSP

Yes, they just don’t release every game they work on, or sit on them for longer than most because their finances are no longer dependent on the games they make themselves

If you want to get technical yeah I guess it wouldn’t be independent because it wasn’t independently funded.

Personal i think the criteria for no longer being an indie dev is if the company is funded by a publisher or the company itself has been or has the capacity to be a publisher themselves

I thought they had a publisher

I’ve played loads of it on my anbernic GBA

Ah I see. I think it’d be a good reference point on what’s on the lower end still though even if you don’t use portmaster itself

Check out portmaster

Yeah that’s mostly what i use it for. A way to search for things that i can’t describe well enough for a traditional search engine so I can find out at a glance what it’s name is and if it’s valid for my situation. If it is then I go look up documentation. Any time I’ve stayed in the LLM past that I eventually go down a rabbit hole of wrong ideas that aren’t always obvious until you get a bit too deep and you’ve wasted an hour with an incorrect solution.

It might not be what they planned but they’re now using it as an opportunity for more publicity to get something out of it especially now there are some potential sales they won’t be getting anymore.

This also states that this is the first main kiryu game with an English dub. But the very first game was dub only on the PS2, with Mark Hamill as Majima too

Nah, I’m fine with the standard look of it on the PC. It’s part of what makes it feel how it does. I don’t think I’d have described it as a blurry mess though, it ain’t an N64 game

I’m excited to play 4 again at some point when i have the time

And some games don’t let you use both at the same time!

This would be killer!

I have eustachian tube issues that make most headphones very uncomfortable. Not only that I’ve always seen it weird to do that when I have a TV and a good sound system in my living room to use.

Games with bird sounds. This wouldn’t be too bad if i could turn them down or off but because of this I can’t play some games or spend time in specific areas of some games because it make my birds go crazy because they think there’s another bird in the house.

I wish we could individually turn up or down all of the different elements if sounds not just music/sfx/voice etc

I don’t think the union was official yet, i think they were discussing unionising

Not to mention the bombardment of phone calls and messages while trying to "mourn’. Awful pacing.

The game is definitely too sparse and spread out. It should’ve taken more inspiration from the likes of yakuza than gta and made a smaller but more dense world to play in where every nook and cranny ACTUALLY meant something rather than giving the illusion of doing so.

To me every nook and cranny just looks bland with nothing to do there. Everywhere just had the same sidewalks and railings. There’s no way i could ever navigate that game without waypoints.

And with the acting the emphasis she puts on certain words in a sentence just don’t match the situation and the others she’s talking to, and it feels like she swaps between extreme emotions on the same dialogue and it’s like tonal whiplash to me. There was no nuance to lay in between, and nothing to unpack for the listener. You know when she’s angry because she has her 110% angry voice on and so on.

Unless the situation is heightened and dire, it just never fit in my opinion. Her performance fits a stage play more than what’s meant to be an immersive video game in my opinion.

Jackie’s and Keanu’s voice acting though was stellar.

Cyberpunk 2077.

It’s okay, but it’s a far cry from giving me the feelings of a cyberpunk world in my opinion and I’m a massive fan of blade runner and the like.

Why am i spending so much time wandering at the street level where everywhere just looks and feels the same. Travelling is so boring.

And the voice acting of V (I played female) is so overreacted, it’s one of the cringiest performances in gaming, considering it’s meant to be all serious and whatnot.

4s driving and shooting was better than SA but everything else makes SA better. I wanted then to marry the two together for the best GTA possible but they never did and probably won’t ever

That’s called Far Cry

I preferred path of neo personally. It just played better in my opinion and i found the extra bits fun padding for a game i wanted more of

Toy Story 2

I ultimately don’t think he’s a bad guy so I’m rooting for him to show us wrong.

I think he always just believed in his vision too much and didn’t realise that he and his team couldn’t end up delivering on it. And then he’d be so excited about what he’s working on that he just couldn’t not share it with others. I don’t think he ever intended to mislead.

I know there’s the milo thing but with that I feel like he still thought they could do it in the end but Microsoft just needed something right there and then to show. I think that issue ends up more squarely on whoever sold him on what the hardware could do and he had not yet fully hit those walls of limitations enough to realise they weren’t coming down at all. (I also think this goes for Sean Murray too when he did the talk show circuit that Sony put him on - although without the hardware stuff and more on whether or not they could deliver on time since they’ve shown what they wanted was actually possible with future updates)

If you are able to i think ensuring they’re installed on different drivers alleviates most issues
