Or, more rationally, you all invested so much of yourselves into your gamer outrage campaign and built yourselves up as the underdogs fighting the big, mean corporation. And when, to your own surprise, you actually won and got all of your demands met without compromise, you still can’t let it go because you managed to incorporate all that upset over a video game into your personal identities over just a few days time.
So now, instead of celebrating your win, you’ll limply cling to your hatred of Sony for a few more days or weeks until everyone finds something else to get upset about.
I talk like I have seen this exact same thing happen over and over and I’m sick of capital-G Gamers throwing tantrums over every inconvenience. You aren’t Union Men fighting for your rights. You’re gamers upset by a TOS change to your new toy even though Steam was going beyond their own policy to honor refunds.
Aw, the gamer is upset I forced some introspection into their life.
But no, I’m sorry. You’re totally a noble warrior who fought back the evil Sony and now must remain ever vigilant lest Kazuo Hirai leap from the shadows and scream “Riiiiidge Racer” at you and take away your toys while Gabe Newell gives you your money back and sheepishly shrugs like “I know, right? This guy, man.”
The Lumia Windows phones were actually pretty nice. App support was lacking but I have never been an app user. I would have kept using mine if the BlackBerry KeyOne hadn’t come out shortly after.
I think it’s common for former BlackBerry stans to go for unconventional phones to replace them. iPhone and typical Android phones are boring to me. I’m currently using a Surface Duo 2 and looking into a foldable as my next phone.
The picture of Elbow Mush in the thumbnail looks like he’s going for the “Justin Timberlake if he aged badly after a diet of whiskey, hamburgers and pocket-fulls of drugs” look.
Ah yes, the super chad of its console generation, tons of great games, dvd playback, and PS1 compatibility! What’s not to love about this legendary system?...
I still love the aesthetic a lot of PS2 games have, with smooth, bright textures instead of a lot of detail that gets stretched and blurry at low resolutions. The way metal surfaces look in MGS2 and Zone of the Enders is really nice.
But then there are games like Silent Hill 2 & 3 that use a lot of detail in the low resolution textures to create a grimy or rusted look. Those games really benefited from working within the limitations of the system, like the fog to reduce draw distance.
Dreamcast was killed off so early and didn’t run alongside the others for most of the generation, so a lot of people consider it as more of an in-between system. Maybe not to someone who actually owned one, but given how poorly it sold the majority probably didn’t.
I could never get into the Ratchet and Clank games, except for Deadlocked which I know is generally disliked by fans. I was really into arena shooters at the time.
I’ve tried a bunch of the others and they are definitely good, but not my kind of game.
Same here. I find it isn’t powerful enough for a lot of modern PC games unless you drop the settings, but it’s amazing for retro and emulation. I’m living in 2004 again.

This guy is yet another tankie on Lemmy. Every comment is defending Russia and China. Of course they’d defend Modi now that India is more interested in cozying up to Russia.
This is why, as a software developer, I’m against designing any system that assumes what the user wants and tries to do it for them automatically. On the occasions where the assumption is right, it’s a mild convenience at best. When it’s wrong, it is always infuriating if not dangerous.

With the incredible success of X-Men '97, what other animated shows do you think should get the same type of revival?
For me it’s got to be the Teen Titans show. Loved that as a kid and I think a modern revival of it would be awesome.
