Was everyone coached to talk with their hands moving at the speed of light?

Well then I guess I'm in the same boat, self imposed or not

I want to play the expansion, but I refuse to until I get my PS5, which means I'm probably going to be waiting another year given the current trend.

I think the argument is massive energy consumption just to play the speculation game is a net loss for humanity, regardless of whether it's comparatively clean to other energy generation schemes and regardless of whether a few powerful actors benefit.

That big games are still keeping last gen alive right now isn't terribly surprising. I would not have wanted to start a big project that *demands* the new hardware until you were really sure what that hardware was and how you could lean on it. Developers will probably need time to get a feel for it before they go big. My guess is we'll see next-gen demanding games start showing up in 2023 -- long enough to have had a feel for the console and develop the game.

Pretty sure he was ironically making fun of people throwing shade at Sony for those reasons. He followed it up with: "Hi, I'm the boy who already forgot about Covid19 and these are my opinions. Today's episode: why isn't Black Widow out yet?"

Read the I, Robot series (not that fucking movie!). Robots are ultimately dedicated saviors and champions of humanity. That said, Terminator 2 pulled it back some and dealt with robot and man cooperating.

I couldn't get through it. The characters were not especially compelling, and feels like a massive grind fest. But apparently lots of people like it?

It's super impressive. The virtual worlds we can inhabit these days would blow my childhood self away.

I feel like they'll drop support for it, or just let it languish. Much like the steam controller (which I otherwise liked a lot) I wonder if you can setup streaming on a Raspberry Pi. Plenty of people have built switch-like Pis. If there's a good streaming software solution then that might work? I think Steam itself supports PC to PC streaming already. Not sure it works on a Pi though. This seems to suggest it's possible (except replace TV with some other small form factor screen for the Pi): How to Use a Raspberry Pi and Steam Link to Stream PC Games to Your TV WWW.PCMAG.COM Valve may have discontinued the hardware, but you can still can use the Steam Link app on your Raspberry Pi system to stream games to your TV or anywhere else.

Hmm I'm not sure I translate "more accessible" to "difficulty modes." I usually assume more fundamental differences in philosophy. I don't have a problem with difficulty modes existing, and sometimes I do think it works well, but I do agree that many games have lazy difficulty modes.

In all seriousness though, I think there is a good way to make that work. Core challenge is one thing, but souls games also ratchet up the effective difficulty by having spaced out checkpoints/savepoints which is a divisive approach that need not be adopted to make a good game. Of course, Square tends to like spaced out savepoints, so maybe they'll make it mechanically easier before they abandon that

Well if you personally think it's evil that's one thing. There are issues with the pornographic industry that I could maybe sympathize with for having a distaste for it. But masturbation is not the same thing as pornography and not all pornography is the same. So I don't quite see how you can get there to banning yourself from all masturbation. Self control to stop yourself from doing something that will ultimately hurt you or others more than it will gain you in the short term is a good trait. Self control for self controls sake is kind of pointless though If I were you, I would search why you think it's "evil" and see if you can really justify that belief. And I suggest that because beating yourself up over pointless things is going to have a negative net effect on your mental health. It will make you feel bad for no reason. So seriously think about just why you think it's evil. Better yet, lose words like "evil" from the equation altogether. When people start thinking about what is "evil" or "moral" it has a tendency to cause people to just lean on their preconceived notions of what good and bad is, without investigation into those very notions. Instead ask yourself who is harmed by you masturbating. Work from there.

Man... finding modern FF boring but *not* DQ totally baffles me.

While I wouldn't advocate for theism of any sort, I'm just trying to highlight that you should be clear about what your beliefs are and reflect on whether that makes sense. The God you are saying you believe in is a massive dick. Do you really think that would be case? There are plenty of people who believe in God, even some form of Christianity, and don't believe God is like that. That is, if you believe in God, which is more likely to you: God is a massive dick; OR God exists, but ancient man slipped in some claims about God because it served their purpose and that are not actually true? You don't have to reject belief in God to conclude the latter.

If God existed, it would be kind of insulting to think he's such an insufferable turd that he'd get angry at you for masturbating. I mean, you'd basically be saying that the vast majority of posters on D1P are better people than God. And if he is that much of an insufferable turd, well, we're all fucked anyway.

I'm married and still game a lot in my free time. So that might not be an end to it. We don't, however, have kids which seems like the bigger variable that could bring gaming and all your free time to an end

I dunno. There are some movies where the discussion seems to carry on so much that it leaks into completely unrelated threads too. *cough* Last Jedi *cough*

lol I can't remember now. Lots of long events seemed to happen automatically. I do know I had all of those kinds of experiences in the game, but I don't think I ever had them all back to back like in that one Silver lining to it all: that is one of the funniest clips in gaming history I've ever seen. There's a reason I was able to still find it after all this time

RDR2 was the final bit of motivation that got me to buy a PS4 to begin with. I like realistic games, but realistic doesn't have to mean it should control as it did. But if you only played it recently maybe they improved the controls since then?

He said 20 *movie* series, not years; and 20 movies is approximately correct

(I mean, I do... but I'd rather not )

I'm really digging the aesthetic.

Uh... I guess a lot if you google my user name.
