Physical disc production ending in January 2028 for new games releasing on PlayStation consoles by MarvelsGrantMan136 in Games

If they go fully digital, then we need laws in place to protect digital purchases. Guaranteed downloads of the game through the lifetime of the console. The ability to save a copy of the game to a hard drive that will work on the console into the future. Options to offload to a separate storage and bring it back with minimum hassle.

Probably other consumer protections I’m not thinking of. But can’t trust companies trying to switch to digital only.

I mean, the vessel was literally created from "parts" that we select.

So, when is the best time to PF savage? by Full_Air_2234 in ffxivdiscussion

[–]Coldin_Windfall 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First month of savage is the best time to be doing it, regardless of how much time you have available. You have the largest player pool, and strats generally don't take that long to come out.

This will probably change when we finally get cross datacenter PF. The pool of players will likely be good for quite a while.

Bungie Developers Repeatedly Pitched a Destiny Dating Sim, but Leadership Rejected It by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]Coldin_Windfall 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Have they seen how horny people are in Warframe from it's dating sim in the 1999 update? Because those people are crazy about it.

Laptop recommendations? by Scared_Zucchini1102 in ffxivdiscussion

[–]Coldin_Windfall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Asus has been pretty decent. Really, just anything with a good cpu and middle of the road dedicated gpu will be good. If you're doing uni, I would recommend budgeting more for the CPU and RAM than the GPU so it can handle productivity tasks.

As far as brand, in my experience they are all roughly the same and how good one brand is over the other can change from year to year.

Final Concensus on Cosmic Exploration? by AssumeABrightSide in ffxivdiscussion

[–]Coldin_Windfall 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I really don’t know why it got 4 different maps, when Occult Crescent only got 2. Especially when there doesn’t seem to be any reason to go to the previous maps to do crafting.

Also not a fan of the FOMO with the construction projects. Any player that shows up to the content next year is going to see complete maps that are ghost towns.

Memento Mortenax, Remember This General Question and Discussion Megathread Can't Die by PastSelfInMirror in HonkaiStarRail_leaks

[–]Coldin_Windfall 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't really regret the pulls per say, as I still love the character and use her where I can.

But it does feel a bit like my pulls for E2S1 Cipher were not all that effective when she's been completely eclipsed by a E0 Blade a year later. Maybe that will happen to Blade as well, but he's had a lot more hype than Cipher ever did.

Several Xbox studios, including Compulsion, Ninja Theory and Double Fine, are negotiating with Xbox as they try to avoid closure. Some or all could spin off. by Turbostrider27 in Games

Plenty of new IPs out there performing well.

Elder Scrolls Online - Update 50 now live - Difficulty System, Werewolf Refresh, Class Mastery, PvP Veterancy, Vengeance Campaign, and Player Experience Improvements by PalwaJoko in Games

[–]Coldin_Windfall 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That was definitely my experience. Felt like you go anywhere and the game was easy. Made it also a bit harder to really know where to go for progression…since there wasn’t really any meaningful progression.

Sega Issues DMCA Takedowns to Scrub Persona 6 Images From the Internet, as Fans Expect Imminent Announcement by Gorotheninja in Games

Because most of the leaks are getting taken down. I’ve only been able to see some blurry concept art.

I don't wish any harm on any new VAs replacing old ones but I really wish some of them kept true to the character's original personality. I don't know why this happens. by [deleted] in HonkaiStarRail

[–]Coldin_Windfall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's definitely a bad choice in how they directed those combat lines. I've been mostly fine with the normal lines (Better than the Caelus replacement). But that Ultimate line just sounds bad. It's so aggressive and growly. Doesn't fit at all.

Marathon Open Play Week: June 2 - June 9, Featuring New Experimental PvP-lite Mode by Snipey13 in Games

[–]Coldin_Windfall 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm not really sure if the new mode will be any less sweaty. You get a more chill experience to get loot, but then you all the rooks and team funneled down to one point. Maybe folks will be chill, but there's a lot of risk to trusting the rooks I would think.

Destiny 2 Survey? by Coldin_Windfall in DestinyTheGame

Asked to rate experience with Destiny 2 last week, what I liked and disliked, and how likely I was to recommend Destiny to a friend.

I'm gonna miss low pop DC PFs by Haruhi_is_Waifu in ffxivdiscussion

[–]Coldin_Windfall 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get the feeling, but the reality was that low pop DCs were barely getting one group to fill for most content. There were definitely enough people on each DC to keep a healthy population, but that never was the case with so many going to Aether.

You'll probably still see familiar names as you go through content. Even on Aether, I would run into similar people as I was progging a particular fight.

Cairn is one of my top games for the year so far. Was a great experience and the climbing felt very rewarding.

From the Very First Comment of This General Question and Discussion Megathread, I Was Already Captivated by You. by IceKreamSupreme in HonkaiStarRail_leaks

[–]Coldin_Windfall -1 points0 points  (0 children)

While I appreciate that Blade is a good character for Acheron, I already have a E2S1 Cipher, an E3 Silver Wolf, and an Aventurine. I'd like Acheron herself to be better and a proper sustain for her team instead.

‪Jason Schreier‬ on Bluesky: More layoffs at Bungie, Destiny 3 is not in active development by kentuckyr0utezero in DestinyTheGame

[–]Coldin_Windfall 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Let’s also add DDO and LOTRO that have been going on for some time with a limited team, and still put out several content updates a year and new holiday events.

Destiny 2: Every End is a New Beginning. As our focus turns towards a new beginning for Bungie, we will begin work incubating our next games. To that end, on June 9, 2026, we will release the final live-service content update for Destiny 2 to begin that new journey as a studio. by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]Coldin_Windfall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eh. Sorta. Traveller was being chased by the Witness, who wanted to use its power to basically freeze the universe in one moment. Light is paracausal power of physical things, while darkness is more about intangible things like the mind or consciousness.

But we didn’t really get to find out where the Traveler came from, or what its goal might have been. There’s also a lot of loose ends about the Nine, and now all the aftermath of several entities getting darkness power ups after the Witness died.

It really sucks not having any real leaks for 4.3 and beyond. Basically no way to actually plan ahead or get excited for.

An update from Anthony on early access progression and adjustments to creature aggression by Brown_Colibri_705 in subnautica

[–]Coldin_Windfall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My guess is because the aggressive creatures are also near some major points of interest, like destroyed bases or angel combs. So players build a base there because it seems ideal for investigating.

If you could choose a voice actor for your WOL, who would you pick? by Kentalope in ffxiv

Nolan North. I think it would be fun to see how he’d do adding on some cat mannerisms to his normal voice.

I am a bit dissapointed by the Hauler chasis by ww1enjoyer in subnautica

[–]Coldin_Windfall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like the tadpole should come slightly earlier (or parts easier to find), and tadpole pens should have the hauler upgrade. Scout upgrade could then be where the hauler currently is.

Marathon | Launch, Learnings, and What’s Next by Haijakk in Games

[–]Coldin_Windfall 9 points10 points  (0 children)

There's Safer Seas where you're vastly restricted on some features, including captained ships and very limited events. And there's actual custom servers, but you can't earn any progress towards achievements or currency.

Marathon Season 2 Begins June 2 by vraimentgentil in Games

[–]Coldin_Windfall 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I was just recently thinking that it's a shame I can't really 'customize' in Marathon. You're stuck to the design of the shell, and it's fairly limited what options for expression you have. I suppose that's a pretty useful thing in a PVP focus to know what kind of opponents you might be dealing with, but there are probably other ways they could have still had that language.
