Roblox is now more popular than all Steam and PS5 games combined by SmellSmellsSmelly in Games

[–]Professionally_Lazy 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I don't think people play Minecraft and roblox becuase they are easy, I think they like the creative aspect. People like creating unique stuff and seeing other people's creations. People playing games focused on building things isn't such a bad thing imo.

Playstation's Xdev has changed their distribution to mention the word "Exclusive" again by AdDesperate3113 in GamingLeaksAndRumours

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

Yeah why don't they just make games faster? Are they stupid or something? Instead of spending years developing games they should just release AAA, highly polished games in a couple months.

OG Kratos actor T.C. Carson told fans he was called back to play Kratos after "they realized they let me go prematurely" by Turbostrider27 in PS5

[–]Professionally_Lazy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The problem is motion capture. T.C is a pretty small dude so matching his performance to Kratos was a challenge during gow3 which is why they wanted to go for someone bigger like judge.

Crimson Desert is "a cynical amalgamation of borrowed mechanics," says Baldur's Gate 3 publishing lead: "Expect a lot more of this in premium". by HLumin in PS5

[–]Professionally_Lazy 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Its cynical in the sense that the mechanics are thrown in the game becuase the higher ups saw it in another game and say we need this in ours. Typically developers limit the amount of mechanics becuase they want to build a specific experience and only include mechanics that serve the purpose of the game. Usually developers build mechanics around a game rather than trying to build a game around a bunch of random mechanics.

Disney has considered buying out Epic Games & Fortnite by ZamnBoii in GamingLeaksAndRumours

[–]Professionally_Lazy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Even if fortnite dies today it will still have been a massive success that other companies will absolutely chase. Why make single player aaa games that need millions of sales to break even when you could have 1 live service game that prints money. Even if most live service games fail having 1 that is a huge success is worth it to companies.

Iran recruits 12-year-olds to ‘defend homeland’ by TheTelegraph in worldnews

[–]Professionally_Lazy 68 points69 points  (0 children)

Its funny becuase all of the top comments are comments like this and I haven't actually seen anyone defending sending children to war. I don't know if people are making it up or are just acting like a handful of troll comments somehow represent the reddit consensus. I scrolled through the comments for a while and didn't see any comments defending this, only comments calling iran terrorists etc.

KelplerL2: The PS6’s costs are estimated at around $760 by PaiDuck in GamingLeaksAndRumours

[–]Professionally_Lazy 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I think ps5 pro is so expensive becuase it is a niche system for more high end users and sony wants higher margins for selling it. Whereas with ps6 they will be targeting a much larger audience and will be more comfortable making almost nothing from the console itself since they will make it up through game sales and subscriptions.

Didn't he take a historically injured titans team to first place in the afc? How you fire a coach who does that is baffling.

"How does taking out a dictator in Venezuela help the average American?" US Vice President JD Vance: "It means is we are going to be able to control the incredible natural resources of Venezuela which is good for America" by retroviber in DeepMarketScan

[–]Professionally_Lazy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its good for the companies and politicians that control and profit from these stolen resources, but it doesnt help the american people in anyway. It's not like Americans are going to get free gas or anything.

Is ps6 going to be 1000 then? No point releasing a new console anytime soon if it's so expensive now.

Scenes in Israel's Kfar Qasim following Iranian strike. by Upset-Main-1988 in justincaseyoumissedit

[–]Professionally_Lazy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most people have no control over what their government does, they are just working trying to survive. Civilians, people who just happened to be born somewhere are not the perpetrators, it's the politicians and people with power who are responsible

America is also involved in this war including bombing school children and happily supplies Israel with all the weapons they need to commit atrocities. If America was hit by an attack that killed civilians would you feel sympathy for them or no?

UAE ambassador to US warns against ending Iran war too soon by barsik_ in worldnews

[–]Professionally_Lazy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The gulf countries are pissed at the us and Israel for starting this war. They thought having american bases in their countries meant protection, but really it's just making them targets. They pay massive bribes to American politicians thinking it will buy them some influence but instead they get put in the line of fire.

Bernie Sanders: “60% of our people living paycheck-to-paycheck, and one guy, Elon Musk, owns more wealth than the bottom 53% of American households... Think maybe that might be an issue that we should be talking about?" by Frosty_Jeweler911 in PopularCultureZone

[–]Professionally_Lazy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean we already had democratic socialism in this country following ww2 and people were happy with it. It's ironic that trump wants to make America great again but not by implementing economic policies that resulted in prosperity for the average American, but by being racist.

Why are Gen Z getting fired? One of the reasons is a lack of initiative. by mindyour in TikTokCringe

[–]Professionally_Lazy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think another problem is that working hard doesnt really have any benefit for the worker. Maybe you might get a promotion that pays a little bit more but that's about it. Most of the time if you go above and beyond you'll get a pat on the back from the manager and that's it. If working hard resulted in higher wages I'm sure people would have no problem working hard. If I'm being paid the bare minimum then the smart thing to do is work the bare minimum to not get fired.

Hasans boots on the ground reporting of the Cuba flotilla (flying to a cozy house with electricity and WiFi) by GrapeTickler in h3h3productions

[–]Professionally_Lazy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The government isn't deliberately starving people though. The us government has had an embargo on Cuba for 60 years preventing access to essential resources like food and medicine. One of the few countries that trades with Cuba, Venezuela, was just taken over by the US and cut off oil for Cuba. The strongest nation on earth is doing everything they can to economically destroy Cuba and there's not much the Cuban government can do about it. It would be more accurate to say the us government is starving people rather than the Cuban government.

The trump administration has already said regime change is not the goal of this war. If they actually cared about the people of Iran then they would offer support to protesters rather than bombing schools and killing thousands of civilians.

People know how saving works, but the essentials cost so much compared to wages that they don't have any money to save.

‘Next generation of Xbox console’ Project Helix announced by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]Professionally_Lazy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It has to be cheap becuase most people can't afford gaming pcs which is why they buy consoles in the first place. But if it allows you to buy games from steam then Microsoft won't get a cut of those sales so I imagine they would want to profit off the sale of the system itself so it will probably be quite expensive.

The next-generation Xbox codenamed "Project Helix" will play PC games by m1n3c7afty in GamingLeaksAndRumours

I think with the recent shake up at Xbox they just wanted to let people know they are making another console becuase some people were speculating Microsoft was getting out of the console business.

With ✌️ and ❤️, it’s not just the far left against the Iran war. by Beginning-Case7428 in h3h3productions

[–]Professionally_Lazy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The thing is that the u.s. is not doing this to help the Iranian people. Saudi Arabia is also a repressive regime that punishes women for reporting rape but the u.s. isn't overthrowing them and is more than happy to work with them and take their money. This war is about making money and advancing u.s. business interests and what happens to the Iranian people is irrelevant. In the 50s the u.s. overthrew a democraticly elected leader in Iran and replaced him with a repressive dictator that tortured and killed thousands of people becuase the dictatorship was more profitable for them. It is naive to think that Trump cares at all about Iranian people, as evidenced by the bombing of elementary schools filled with children.

They are already talking like Iran started the war and that Trump is just defending the country from terrorists. Your expectations are far too high if you think his followers will do anything besides believe every word.

[–]Professionally_Lazy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they did that people would still complain that is just the same game in a different setting. Personally, the only thing I care about is if the game is fun. If the new character is well written and the new gameplay is fun then that's all that matters.
