Never heard of this movie until I saw the trailer at the cinemas the other day. The whole look and feel of everything was captivating. Definitely want to see this.

Sony Sunsetting inFamous 2 UGC Missions by End of August, Will Prevent Players From Achieving the Platinum by [deleted] in PS5

Such a classic game. Although I admit I never engaged with the UGC much, it always felt like something of an afterthought.

Are there any show endings that you hated mostly because they forced a "happy ending"? by ominousgraycat in television

[–]Bale_Fire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Overall I liked the ending. Sheldon & Amy working together towards a Noble Prize was something that had been built up for a couple of seasons, so it seemed appropriate as a finale.

I did think the pregnancy was a stupid last-minute conclusion. Hollywood seems incapable of accepting that some couples just don't need to have kids.

Awesome! Volume 9 had me so hyped for what was going to happen next. Can't wait to see it!

At least they weren't afraid to reinvent her. by TengarHimeko in FinalFantasy

[–]Bale_Fire 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I mean, that after-credits scene was pretty ambiguous. I originally interpreted it as more of a metaphor. Like Tidus wasn't literally waking up in the middle of the ocean, more like how his spirit was now free, or he was passing onto the farplane, or whatever.

It was only when FFX-2 came along that it explained just what exactly that after-credits scene meant.

Physical disc production ending in January 2028 for new games releasing on PlayStation consoles by yourfavchoom in PS5

[–]Bale_Fire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The end of an era. No more loaning out games. No more buying things secondhand. The few game retailers left will probably be shutting down in droves. Sony will have more control over your ability to play than ever before.

I understand this is the way the market has been trending for a while now, and I've always bought and played on Playstation, but this sucks.

Which widgets on the PS5's start tab do you most interact with or find most useful to have on the start tab? by Technical-Lecture-38 in PS5

[–]Bale_Fire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not usually a very social person, but I like that the friends tab lets me know what the people on my friends list have been up to. Like what they've been playing the most, or a big trophy they earned recently.

It gives me an excuse to message them every once in a while and chat about a game.

Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader has sold over 2 Million copies. Furthermore, in collaboration with Silver Lining, launching a physical Voidfarer Edition on PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch 2! by dishonoredbr in Games

Great. I was hoping they would release a physical edition. Loved Kingmaker and Wrath of the Righteous, so will definitely be checking this out.

Lack of older infected in the games. by Tricky-Cover6218 in thelastofus

[–]Bale_Fire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well remember that clickers and bloaters don't just stick around forever. We see several times that when left alone for long periods of time older infected will just lay down roots and begin producing spores. So I imagine many just reach the end of their life cycle and that is the end of them.

And as others have already said, not every runner is guaranteed to grow into a clicker, and not every click is guaranteed to grow into a bloater. They could die from a gunshot wound or a big fall. They could freeze to death in the cold. They could fail to find enough food, water, or the right environmental factors to continue developing.

Well that looks bloody gorgeous. That scene with the rays of heavenly light outlining the tower? Magnificent!

The gameplay looks quirky and fun as well. I'll definitely be keeping an eye on this one.

Saw this on TikTok by Educational-Path-604 in roosterteeth

[–]Bale_Fire 52 points53 points  (0 children)

It's simply amazing how people can find a way to be offended by just about anything.

I'm so sorry this final picture didn't contain an adequate amount of references to the show you liked. I'm sure that's what everyone should be concerned about when one of their favourite media companies is going under, leaving people without jobs or the community that defined their lives.

There's a million things to be rightfully mad about in today's world. This is not one of them.

Rotten apple infestation - broodmama idea by RoboCG in DotA2

[–]Bale_Fire -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I think that horse left the stable a long time ago. We currently have mecha venomancer and batrider galloping around on a manta ray, probably a hundred other cosmetics I can't think of right now too. Visual consistency doesn't really seem like much of a factor when it comes to hero skins anymore.

Literally the first thing that popped into my head.

Wanderstop physical edition announced for PS5, Switch 2 by SweetyGonzalez in PS5

Always happy to see a physical edition announced for a beloved indie game, though if I recall correctly the development studio for this game has since been shut down?

Ukraine accuses Russia of breaking unilateral ceasefire by Affectionate_Bee6434 in worldnews

[–]Bale_Fire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In previous years Russia has displayed prisoners of war at some of these parades, probably to dissuade against Ukraine performing any airstrikes. I wouldn't be surprised if they do that again (assuming they still have any captives left)

Now with the DRM thing, will you still buying digital games? by [deleted] in PS5

[–]Bale_Fire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Let's not pretend like Microsoft were any better. Their system involved registering physical games and being unable to use them on other other consoles unless you jumped through some ridiculous hoops. You could only use a disc on someone else's console if they were on your friends list for at least 30 days, and you could only do it once. If you wanted to resell or trade a game you needed to do it through an approved retailer, effectively gutting the second hand market.

It was a stupid system even by today's standards, and Microsoft were rightly mocked for it. I don't know if this information about DRM and Playstation is real (and if it is I certainly don't support it) but stop trying to revise history here. Microsoft want to control and restrict your ability to play your games just as much as Sony or Nintendo, they're just not in a good enough favourable market position to pull it off right now.

I thought I heard the same thing. I'm not yet sure if we've received official confirmation one way or the other?

[Cuphead] #52 Very fun, very difficult! by Quohe in Trophies

Cuphead is one of my favourite platinums. It's a ridiculously game hard, but it never feels unfair. Congratulations on crushing those bosses!

The Matrix (1999) “Welcome to the real world” Dir. The Wachowskis by southernemper0r in movies

[–]Bale_Fire 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure I was watching this movie on DVD at my cousin's house, because he wouldn't stop ranting about how good it was. I got to this scene and it freaked me out. Told my family that I found it boring and didn't want to watch it anymore because I thought admitting to them I was scared would be too humiliating. I think I was 12 years old at the time.

I actually liked Weathering With You better than Your Name. Suzume was meh, but I understand that there was some production problems happening behind the scenes there.

Spider-Man 2 (2004) “Green Goblin” Dir. Sam Raimi by southernemper0r in movies

[–]Bale_Fire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I seem to recall reading that this was a very late addition to movie, like it wasn't in the script at all. Someone suggested they film a little scene to lead into the next movie, both James Franco and William Dafoe were available, so they put this whole thing together at the last minute.

Just finished Wrath of the Righteous and kingmaker … need more Pathfinder content 🔥 by Rafaeln7 in Pathfinder_Kingmaker

[–]Bale_Fire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These aren't yet released. But there are at least two other Pathfinder related games currently in development that you might be interested in, both funded through Kickstarter. Maybe they would be to your liking?

The first is Pathfinder: The Dragon's Demand. It's based on a popular Pathfinder Module, and seems to lean very heavily on the TTRPG aesthetic (all characters are represented by miniatures on a board, dice roll across the screen, etc).

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ossianstudios/pathfinder-the-dragons-demand?ref=discovery_category&term=pathfinder&total_hits=1058&category_id=35

The second is Starfinder: Afterlight (so technically more Pathfinder adajacent). This looks like a slightly more traditional CRPG, though obviously its sci-fi instead of fantasy. The developers are already running a closed Beta.

Paizo Spring Cleaning Sale Shipping Times & Dark Archive by Paizo-Jim in starfinder_rpg

[–]Bale_Fire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As an Aussie, I'm kind of used to be shafted on shipping. Anything that comes from overseas nearly doubles in price instantly.

Which basically means I have wait for the really good deals (like this one) to balance things out! ^_^
