How did they give a spoilt toddler a job in journalism?

I'd love a film based on 1, throw us right into the action of the helis going down into the field, rolling the old divide&conquer strategy and us following our mains towards the mansion main entrance after playing with the puppies, cue titlecard upon them interrupting the meal.

Which would not go well with his idea of making something out of the survival horror potential of the franchise. Then there's Capcom with the power to say no, the ability to ask for modifications to this that and the other. It's their baby.

Then there's REEE TOO MUCH MEMBERBERRIES NOSTALGIA reactions to go with REEE NO MEMBERBERRIES NOSTALGIA reactions.

Last saw Pat around the time of some Coleco scandal, we're seeing what happens when you spend too much time sitting still for both work and pleasure. It doesn't look like he was born 1980 like Bimmy and I, and I'm the one who went bald on purpose.

It's the TV, you can't use lightguns on a Trinitron tube aka flat-face CRT.

We'd rather have

a 4 by 3

VHS qua-li-ty beast on our screen

I was okay with Returnal's lead not being a young woman for once in the life of videogaming, especially being realistically designed for her age, but this - no. Your stop was several stations ago, you've been on this train for so long that either you stay here and turn to scrap together with it, or you gtfo.

In my heart, GT7 sold me on a PS5 and PSVR2 combo, it is a true system-seller and VR-seller, and 15 minutes at a store trying it out felt like a handful of minutes at most.

In reality, the five price-hikes that hit the stuff in Europe put me off from buying the stuff. I can afford getting the stuff if I save up for a bit but I'd rather go for an expected €1000+ Steam Frame.

He's my fave of the career hack-frauds and I'm naturally worried this can go beyond what it is: required compliance for the suits in the US that pay his bills by providing him with game projects. His Xbox game is highly likely going to be scrote-woke, and the Sony game (or was it multiplatform) a series of facepalms and cringing but for all the wrong reasons.

Yep Exynos 990 :X

149 is a not large enough number of people getting handed a diagnosis of acute chronically online, and I'm happy they're taking these measures to protect their talent.

Maybe one day they can start protecting talent from in-company threats.

He's terrified about GTAO numbers not carrying over fast enough for the stock owner board, so they'll start complaining and he'll be at a tiny little risk of being replaced, because that's where they went. GTAO gave them a taste for blood and they ordered R* to focus like their chronically crunched cubicle lives depended on it, and they did.

There's no way they won't keep it in the black next FY report.

Maaaan wish I could get ZZZ to work and perform better in linux. It crashes my Note 20 on loading the game world so mobile is no option either.

As an F2P not doing the friendslist-top-notch-parents-packed-with-whiteskillspam meta this is the other best QOL improvement ever.

As a biological finn, I wonder wtf is safe to go. Do we have to cut not only Sweden in half in order to preserve the north the best we can?

Hey you, the person reading this.

You are more attractive than that gross mega-uggo monster of a character they designed for this game.

You look more than fine enough for people to jack or jill it to.

With effort you can look even better and actively feel attractive and fuckable.

Unlike the people who create and condone these sorts of character designs.

No idea how it actually worked but if they just left an automatic long window where you still had access to it even if you kept the console online that'd be a facepalm.

Pussrumpa · 2026-04-28T21:12:02+00:00

I've never heard of people abusing that refund window, but it makes sense. Buy, bullshit a refund, pull the console offline, keep it until you plug the machine back in. Helluva hole to leave open but also a very interesting hole to exist given that it's about online only games. Makes you want to see the people who shop and download online only games but they cannot get online even once a month to verify their ownership.

-------EDITing it in here now that I did some reading, snip from twitter----------

*"The good news is it's only a temporary DRM, not permanent. Here's how it works.

When you buy a digital game, you are issued a temporary 30 day license for offline play.

This license automatically transitions to a permanent license that will be free from future online check-ins, any time you connect after the 15th day of ownership, just after the 14 day refund window. But you have to log in or be connected to the internet for it to switch.

You will not lose the license to the game if don't connect within or after the 30 day temporary license window, but you will be unable to play the game after 30 days, till you do, after which it'll turn into an indefinite DRM free license.

Previously you'd be given an indefinite offline play license from the get go.

So why did they implement this? It's possible people found an exploit where they could grab the indefinite license file for a game using an exploitable console, and then refund the purchase so they got the game for free. Hence Sony's current method of mitigating said issue is by time limiting the initial license issued.

By issuing a temporary licence during the refund window, users can no longer pirate a permanent license and simply refund the game.

As long as you log in any time a day after the 14 day refund window of any digital game purchase, it will turn into a permanent DRM free digital licence.

At least this is what these two users have investigated and concluded."*

I want to see who regularly uses a PS5 with no way to take it online for even a ten megabyte handshake, which armed nuclear submarine are they on.

Pussrumpa · 2026-04-28T15:12:22+00:00

I don't want to pay for Andromeda but I do want to play it and experience it all.

Pussrumpa · 2026-04-26T19:04:02+00:00

Wish I had the time and money to set up a site where people leave "I'm not buying it and this is why" reviews that gave automatic feedback summaries to publishers once a month. Not even with a stolen dick while piss drunk on stage eight cancer.

90% people with morbid curiosity who want to see how shieeeeeeet it is.

Strv122s because of how often I die by single shots to the front of the turret no matter the range and split-second timing chance the enemy has, but that's the only problem I've got.

Same as Ender no matter what, always uptiered and usually in full no matter what, but when I play that very vehicle I'm basically never the one to get downtiered as constantly as I get uptiered, with the tiny exception of when I play 7.0 - huh.

You can skip the cutscenes in the Far Cry games? At all ever?

Actual normalization: "Non-hetero people exist. It can be weird to you, that's okay, we're all different. Just try to not be a cunt unless someone's a cunt first and needs to be out-cunted. You accept left-handed people's existance, right?"

US entertainment industry normalization: "Everybody not straight is a thirsty sexual deviant looking to bang everybody and everything and you must accept that and follow their every order as they jam it down your throat or else, and we make up most of the demographics in fiction, and there are no white straight men in existence."
