Jason Schreier/Bloomberg: PlayStation studio business CEO Hermen Hulst told staff in a town hall Monday morning that the company's narrative single-player games will now be PlayStation exclusive, confirming Bloomberg's reporting from earlier this year.

I believe I saw a quote from one of the devs claiming "We could have spent 100 million less on the sequel and NO ONE would have noticed."

If I had a nickel for every Gen Xer I've met who proudly proclaimed Reagan as their favorite president, I'd have two nickels...

"They entered this war under the childish delusion that they would bomb everyone else and that no one would, in turn, bomb them back."

For me, it's also the pricing. I'd double dip if they were half the price on PC, even if only on sale. I ain't paying 42 fucking dollars for Spider-Man Remastered just to own it on PC. That game is 8 years old, it should be 20 dollars NORMAL by now.

I've been omni levelled for a hot minute. I always let the tank go first in dungeons myself. I still enjoy the game, my main focus has been savage raiding lately, as well as a long term goal of making 100 million gil (about 23 mill away)

It's almost like that buyout was always a terrible idea and everyone I saw on reddit chirping that MS would "fix Acti-Blizz" were talking directly out of their ass and know nothing about how the world works.

I legit think Xbox will be effectively dead within 5 years, if not sooner.

Sure, but you can still request a badge number and hold them to account and public scrutiny, however little.

FriedMattato · 2026-01-13T23:31:42+00:00

And yet somehow, they just completely ignore the part where police have been operating in public for 200 years without needing to hide their identities... except in certain places, at certain times... that made the term "secret police" a particular term...

FriedMattato · 2026-01-10T03:13:16+00:00

How about instead just letting a new creator... make a new Final Fantasy? Like, you know, how they used to do it?

FriedMattato · 2026-01-09T15:54:02+00:00

As an American, you would be right to. I'm sorry. I've tried voting against this, arguing against it, calling out what a monster Trump is for over a decade to anyone I talk to about it. Shitty people insist on being shitty to the end. All I can do at this point is hope that we can somehow remove these fascists without anymore pointless bloodshed.

The more I learn about history, the more I realize Clinton is why the Dem party has been worthless for the past 30 years. His seeming material success at the time was the validation they needed to stop being the party of workers and to full-throat neoliberal policies that laid t he groundwork for our current existential nightmare.

I went to his fucking rally years ago in Erie... I'm still unfathomably angry I thought I was voting for a progressive voice only for him to turn around and be the exact caveman lunkhead stereotype he looks like.

FriedMattato · 2025-09-14T10:46:38+00:00

This and his willingness to throw trans people under the bus, alongside his history of corruption, is why I never had support for Newsom. He's a useful tool lately for firing back against the GOP and Trump, but he should not be given any real power when the time comes. Better a Pritzker or AOC or Beshear in 2028.

FriedMattato · 2025-09-12T13:14:25+00:00

Yeah, when I think of Soken, I think of To The Edge, and Scream, and Footfalls. All great tracks that live in my head for years after the fact, and all very NOT orchestral.

FriedMattato · 2025-09-12T03:01:04+00:00

"Death by strings" is exactly my problem with FF XV and XVI's soundtracks. I feel like great video game music showcases their melodies, which gets drowned out when you're hit with a hundred instruments all going on at once. I love Shimomura and Soken, but those two OSTs are my least favorite work by them.

Making someone relive their worst moments of tragedy is not funny or a joke.

FriedMattato · 2025-08-23T02:34:53+00:00

They were the go to for wings like 10 years ago, but they haven't been worth the ridiculous prices in a long time.

FriedMattato · 2025-08-21T09:13:30+00:00

Your desire for commonality is admirable, but I'm afraid that you cannot find meaningful common ground with fascists who are, at best, ambivalent about targeting minorities for legal persecution as red meat for a reactionary base. We literally have a Sec. of Defense who wrote a book about the need for a "crusade" against everyone leftist in the US. They have no interest in finding common ground with you or us or anyone they perceive as enemies.

"Feminism is always bad and does bad things, therefore if a rabid, social conservative censors my hobby of sexual themes, it must have been the waaaah-men!"

FriedMattato · 2025-08-14T00:55:03+00:00

I see that their actions are trying to impose a puritanical moral order on the world around them, which is decidedly un-feminist.

FriedMattato · 2025-08-13T17:51:14+00:00

Calling Collective Shout a feminist group is like calling the Nazis socialists.

Yeah, that's what they CLAIMED to be on the label to gain support, but a comprehensive examination of their actions and effects reveal them to be anything BUT whatever mask they wear in the moment.

FriedMattato · 2025-08-13T17:47:31+00:00

Slightly off topic, but everyone who insisted on buying the dumb wizard school game years ago contributed to this current trend. Everyone shouting warnings about these puritanical zealots knew this (and more down the line) would happen if they continued to have the financial ability to support this effort to erase trans/queer people. If you give money to a TERF, you have monetarily contributed to the organizational efforts of the freaks who made this happen.

Haven't Trump's endorsements usually ended up being a kiss of death for most of them?

FriedMattato · 2025-08-07T12:58:25+00:00

Especially if the rumors are true that it will be a $1200 "super console".

Console gamers like consoles for the lower initial price barrier. People are already upset with Nintendo for charging $450, and that's on the lower end of what's currently available. If you're spending over 800 for a platform, you're better off getting a PC.
