  • Thank you! This entire post is my little way of poking fun at the current state of things. It’s as if the market tries to set a singular narrative for new games/products and it’s very hard to provide honest feedback if it goes against the grain in any way.

  • How else will I know if I’m truly enjoying something? You seem like you know what you’re talking about.

  • You are right. I will keep the device. Thank you internet stranger!

  • I don't have an iPad 😆

    And the experience of using a dedicated device for the task seems more pleasant to me anyway. I did try the Backbone but it annoyingly required me to take the case off my phone every time I wanted to play.

  • You are right. Even though I’ve had an absolute blast using the PS Portal daily ever since i got it I have made the difficult decision to return it because the internet told me that it’s actually not good.

  • Most of my games are on PlayStation. The Steam Deck is clearly the more powerful and capable device, but it is also more expensive and I have no need for any of the extra features. I love the ergonomics of the PS Portal (even though it looks silly), the haptics, the huge screen, and it all comes with a seamless integration into the PlayStation ecosystem. Plus there is no need to take the case off of my phone every time I want to play it unlike the Backbone.

    It’s definitely not for everyone but they call it a DadStation for a reason ☺️.

  • This story has essentially caused a 20% off coupon for Assassin’s Creed Mirage to circulate my lemmy feed for the past 2 days. I am a chubby man with a weak heart that hungers for these types of comfort food games and this subliminal advertising is hard for me to resist.

  • Looks awesome, I just wonder how good it will be playing solo ☺️

  • Isn’t it funny how much of an impact film and video games can have on us?

    I now reside in the US, but I also have tons of nostalgia from the early 90s American movies even though I wasn’t here at the time.

  • Home Alone 2 for me! There is something super cozy about the snowy New York City setting. Especially when I was younger I really appreciated those vibes.

  • This game rocks! The first game holds such a special place in my heart so understandably I was both excited and a little nervous to get my hands on the second. Thankfully we have a Portal 2 situation happening here. They took all of the best parts of the first game (mind-bending puzzles, thought provoking philosophical ideas, beautiful music) and expanded on it all without losing any of the core identity.

    I rarely buy games upon release but gladly purchased this one to support these guys.

  • I love this idea! What about banner ads on top of the content though?

  • I think I’m the only person in the universe who is actually looking forward to the PlayStation Portal handheld being released in a couple of weeks. I loved the Backbone One but it was annoying having to take the case off every time I wanted to play on my phone. The PlayStation Portal will fit my use case very well.

  • Yes, this is what the + and - are for! One could be LGBTQ-Blacks for example.

    I will say that you have to be really careful with your order of operations if you happen to be racist against two or more minorities though.

    For instance, LGBTQ(-Muslims)(-Jews) would imply that you support both Muslims and Jews due to the rules of multiplication. Since most racists are not good at math it is recommended for you to only target one minority as the primary object of your hate whenever possible.

  • Give up on life. Hope for reincarnation so that I can do better the next go-around.

  • Could these be the negative and positive thoughts within ourselves?

  • Thank you so much for the explanation!

    I’m going to sound like a total idiot but if our universe was at the center of a ginormous sphere could that give an illusion that every point in space was moving away from another when in fact we could all be falling (getting pulled by gravity) toward whatever edge of the sphere we are closest to?
