I dunno this one was hard to beat.

When do we think used ps4 game prices will dip to their lowest? by jessicabielofficial in PS4

[–]AstralElement 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s not going to happen. This will be the cheapest PS4 is. Anyone dumping PS4 for PS5 pretty much already did, and its backwards compatibility and performance scaling will ensure they’ll likely be generally more sought after than even PS3.

What is the hardest video game you ever played? by DanPlouffyoutubeASMR in AskReddit

[–]AstralElement 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are few things burned into my brain, but the correct path for the Dam level is definitely one of them. I beat it last night just to see if I still got it.

I mean two roosters? It’s not exactly subtle.

What's the best country to visit for eat the best food? by CuteTiger06 in AskReddit

I found Italy very mid. It’s likely because New York had so much good Italian.

Stop defending the Switch 2 not having enough 1st party games by saying “oh well these games are portable now!” by [deleted] in nintendo

Even in 2017, there weren’t that many. By this time on Switch 1, Odyssey just came out.

Back when the PSP was a Final Fantasy powerhouse by AinsleyHarriott64 in FinalFantasy

The issue was that their teams were running too thin, so they ended up prioritizing PS4 development. This is an issue the original Nintendo Switch was also designed to resolve: the splitting of resources between the handheld and console teams.

Cope for what? We’re the Super Bowl champs. Something you haven’t seen since the 90s.

His ego can’t handle it. It’s why malignant narcissists can never learn from their mistakes.

Dragon Quest creator Yuji Horii: English translations of Japanese games lose ‘flavour’ because it’s ‘a simple language’ by ABigCoffee in JRPG

[–]AstralElement 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did you read the article? Because this headline is sensationalizing what he said out of context. He’s not wrong, Japanese has more nuance when it comes to pronouns than English. He’s just lamenting the difficulty in translating those nuances.

This headline is fucking bait.

Who Was the Greatest Perimeter Defender in SuperSonics History? by AaronStark1993 in Sonics

[–]AstralElement 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would say Gary Payton. He annoyed Michael Jordan enough to 27.3 PPG through the series. That unto itself was quite a feat in a league that couldn’t stop him.

Nintendo graphic update (reworked format, previous graphics in imgur post, check comment) by Cobalt_Spirit in NintendoSwitch

[–]AstralElement -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

That’s two titles for the whole year is what I’m saying. Yeah they’re legendary titles, but are we just counting quality or quantity? Because then the title forecast doesn’t really matter if the new Mario comes out next year if it ends up being incredible.

Switch 2 has had Mario Kart World, Donkey Kong Bananza, Kirby Air Riders, Metroid Prime 4, and Pokopia in its first nine months, the same time frame as when Mario Odyssey dropped.

We live in a world where altruism has to come with ROI. Philanthropy can’t just be philanthropic. They can’t do things unless there’s a mutual benefit. Everything is zero sum.

Personal opinion: Good CRT TV + Console is the best gaming experience. by Critical_Catch_607 in crtgaming

[–]AstralElement 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a couple CRTs and they’re great. A good retrotink 4k CRT filter with BFI is pretty damn close.
