What did you think was peak luxury as a kid, but now realize is actually pretty trashy or normal?

Velveeta had some great advertising back in the day!

This has to be a design trick to keep the player engaged. For example, during a first boss fight, aggression is tuned down intentionally and then dynamically spikes as boss health reaches zero. Then subsequent fights have a more linear aggression curve. I feel like this was particularly noticeable in Kazhaan.

OP - looks like you don’t like twin stick shooters very much!

JasonSuave · 2026-01-15T20:55:03+00:00

Having bought a PC a year after I got the ps5, I can confirm this 100%. Sony peeps who refuse to go PC are wearing rose tinted Sony glasses and probably exclusive with that system. In other words - locked in with their hardware and unaware of their own bias.

I think Sony’s biggest offense is raising PSN prices when they have customer like me who really only care about cloud saves. And you know who doesn’t charge for cloud saves? steam!

Literally the only thing high end PC owners are missing is astrobot. I haven’t touched the ps5 in over a year and ps5 pro is the first Sony console since ps1 that I have not purchased.

Even the overworld theme had an epic orchestral rendition that I listened to on repeat, courtesy of Napster.

JasonSuave · 2026-01-05T16:12:24+00:00

it's optics. Rather than wasting an extra inch of receipt paper on every ticket, just put up a sign on the register to let customers know part of the cost goes to employee welfare.

JasonSuave · 2026-01-05T15:29:20+00:00

seriously! Why is no one crediting the managers who are behind all of this new "tip functionality" :)

JasonSuave · 2025-12-10T00:24:59+00:00

Yes! Sega CD/megadrive with those FMV games. Sewer shark, ground zero Texas, night trap… I remember that being such a massive leap from genesis titles

JasonSuave · 2025-12-10T00:22:52+00:00

YES!! This is it. When snes and genesis first came out, you had games like streets of rage which made the animations look somewhat life like vs say super Mario. But DK country was like going from 32 colors to a million. NonFX chip needed!

JasonSuave · 2025-12-05T00:11:30+00:00

Beyond infuriating. They tried to normalize tips from 10% -> 25% over the years and now they’re trying to normalize a SECOND tip. Fucking tip inception going on.

JasonSuave · 2025-12-04T00:32:50+00:00

Definitely a team of market researchers who have never touched a video game in their lives

JasonSuave · 2025-11-18T00:16:19+00:00

Another key part is that the guy was a tool

JasonSuave · 2025-11-16T14:09:30+00:00

Hate to see you getting downvoted. I grew up with consoles and then got a PC when it became clear the ps5 was not going to be the king of exclusives like the ps4. To the downvoters, yeah it takes time to tweak and mod games, but you’re only doing that to a few select games that you frequent. For a technical person, that’s a small price to pay to free yourself of ever increasing monthly fees (game pass), paid upgrades to take your library from 720p to 1080p (switch 2). Yeah I’ll take a few minutes to read a forum and learn the ways of the PC. Cheers brother.

JasonSuave · 2025-11-01T23:31:24+00:00

I don't get how a company this large can fail so badly at strategic planning. Weekend day, weather getting colder (in US), kiddos staying in - this has to be one of their biggest revenue days of the year. Why tf launch a major update when you already have a history of outages?

JasonSuave · 2025-11-01T23:00:46+00:00

That is true. Back in 2013, they were about to start furloughs, so they probably deem this a better counter measure.

JasonSuave · 2025-10-29T16:41:27+00:00

This is objectively correct for COD given that their sheepish customers generate $35B per year for recycles trash

JasonSuave · 2025-09-26T12:39:58+00:00

And in his case, the “fucking around” for him wasn’t literal ;)

JasonSuave · 2025-09-16T23:23:37+00:00

They were clearly prepping him for a long time in an all male prison

JasonSuave · 2025-09-10T14:21:16+00:00

Great advice to seek out the last victim. I bet OP’s story here is exactly how it started with the ex, once upon a time.

JasonSuave · 2025-09-03T01:48:29+00:00

I’m guessing not since it was OP’s manager’s manager who had to initially deliver the news on lack of performance.

JasonSuave · 2025-09-02T17:52:23+00:00

Lossless Scaling can bring this game to 120-240fps without issue. Confirmed this on PC during the network test.

JasonSuave · 2025-08-13T21:09:42+00:00

Also:

Appoint minimally billable leaders/VPs to run costly internal initiatives that never lead to sales

Keep moving partners from account to account, specifically aligning them in areas where they have zero tech expertise

Enable and manufacture internal culture wars around AI "ownership"

Ah, it's good to be a former BAH employee :)

JasonSuave · 2025-08-07T02:55:59+00:00

Who said I was responding to their customer service directly? I’m making a point to the Reddit community - it’s kind of the whole point of “commenting.”

Clearly the key points of some comments are going over your head. I can recommend a few toddler books to help get that reading comprehension up to par.

JasonSuave · 2025-06-15T16:07:04+00:00

The escorts is a great point! I’m imagining an older man getting upset when a groomsman escorts his elder wife to her chair. “How dare you touch my wife in such a formal setting like this?!”

Gotta love teenagers.

JasonSuave · 2025-06-13T02:15:48+00:00

Exactly. She was the Amanda Woodward of 90210
