  • The real reason they are doing all these remasters is so that they can delist the old game and sell it again with the PSN requirements.

  • Opposite for me. While I dislike DPP graphics, I fell in love with the clean aesthetic of HGSS and never warmed to the pixelated mess that is the 5th gen.

    It's been a while since I played those games, but I distinctly remember my younger self feeling bummed that all the nice touch screen interactions from 4th gen disappeared when BW released.

  • There are many uncertainties in today's world, but I can always trust in Thomas the Tank Engine to do the right thing.

  • I haven't played It Takes Two, but my sister and I really enjoyed playing through A Way Out together a few years ago. Fares and his studio really know what they are doing.

  • Instead of gradually lowering the prices, publishers tend to keep the original price and give it higher discounts as time goes on. People read it and think "wow, it's 90% off! I can't miss this deal!" and buy the game.

  • Not on steam, but I bought Haven and The Talos Principle 2 on GoG.

    I already played Haven on GamePass a few years ago, but I wanted to own it because it's very good (also to support the developers). As for Talos, I played the original twice and absolutely loved it, so I'm eager to play the sequel.

  • Terminator was almost correct. The real terminator will be Arnie walking around in a fursuit.

    I'll be back. UwU

  • I would fake being scared so as to not hurt their feelings :)

  • Spike Chunsoft also developed the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon games and, fairly recently, the new Dragonball game that, as far as I know, got good reception.

    Kinda lame that these developers will be locked to PS or (months after release) Steam with PSN Account.

    EDIT: And according to comments from Reddit, Kadokawa is a huge corporation that also distributes anime, manga and light novels. This isn't just about games.

  • Thank you so much for writing these posts! Don't worry about slowing down a bit, I'm way more interested in quality instead of them just devolving into a boring streak of daily screenshots, and most importantly, it's supposed to be fun for you in the first place! It shouldn't feel like a job! You can't write good reviews of games if you are not enjoying playing them in the first place, or you're prevented from fully enjoying them by the rush of finding a new title for tomorrow's post.

    As for this one in particular, I've had it in my wishlist for quite a while. I've enjoyed most of Dontnod's games and this one seems quite peculiar indeed. I heard a few divisive opinions on it, but you convinced me to give it a fair try.

    I'm not a US citizen, but happy veteran day!

  • If the last few years have taught me anything, it's that what you do is not important as much as the narrative that you are able to spin.

    As long as TV news networks, podcasters, news outlets, and Musk's Twitter exist, people who are too ignorant to understand they are being lied to, or too lazy to parse credible information, will stay in the dark and vote red in the next election as well.
    Democracy doesn't work when the electorate is too illiterate to cast their vote justly. They'll just vote for the next clown who promises them the moon.

    I don't have a solution.

  • I mean, if I had Shad in front of me, I would also throw him into the river.

  • Isn't it the same as with every other entertainment system? I grew up with a big brother and a little sister. We only had one PS1, later one X360. We could either play in co-op, or take turns. Sometimes my father would also play on the console, and we'd do something else in the meantime.

    What's different about the Switch? It's an entertainment system. You insert the game, you play. I don't have one, but I'm pretty sure it allows for different accounts to be created and each have their own save file, so there's no need to buy multiple consoles/multiple copies of the same game. You can either play on the go, or hook it to the TV and play with the bigger screen. You are not forced to play party games just because you have a bigger screen, and you are not forced to treat it like a "personal device" just because you are playing on the smaller screen (I also despise the idea of "personal device" for kids: learning to share games is a very important lesson for kids).

  • You know the times are dire when you find yourself rooting for Moscow Mitch.

  • Electing Trump the first time was the equivalent of Brexit.

    Electing him twice is the equivalent of setting your own home on fire, walking back inside while the house is still burning and taking a nap, hoping that the flames will only destroy your neighbour's house.

  • Watergate was such a big scandal that Nixon gave up before the impeachment procedure had even began, and it left such a big mark that we still talk about it so many decades later.

    Trump was involved in many, many more scandals of far greater magnitude, and yet he won the majority of votes.

    What the fuck happened during the last 50 years?

  • There's no excuse this time around. People know exactly who Trump is, and they have voted for him a second time.

    I don't have much to say. I feel a mix of anger and disappointment.

    Hopefully the Dems will be able to pick someone better to lead the party four years from now... I wonder what the world will look like four years from now.

  • I'm pretty sure they were doing that already.
