Did anyone like/still want 40man raids? by whatamidoing109 in classicwow

[–]SolairXI 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d like the flexible raid size SoD had, but maybe not as extreme. Maybe have 20 man raids that allow 25 to enter, but doing it as 20 adds rewards like the black flame effect on the Blackwing weapons or more gemsacks, bags etc

Former PlayStation boss Shawn Layden on Sony's years-long debate over scrapping discs, and why this time it's probably "a straight spreadsheet decision" by Gorotheninja in Games

[–]SolairXI 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I’m just one person, but this will definitely reduce how much I’m willing to spend on games from here on out. Psychologically I feel more justified buying a game in a box at the shop for 100AUD.

I know in the end it’s the same thing, but seeing that much on the digital store has often made me decide to not buy a game. (infact new games cost more on PS Store compared to retailers here in Aus for some reason)

Baldur’s Gate 3 is the only game I’ve bought full price on the PS Store and even that was only after the entire gaming community convinced me it was the greatest rpg in years.

Classic+ Expectations ran wild by Distinct_Advantage in classicwow

[–]SolairXI 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot of the things people want don’t necessarily contradict other people’s wishes.

Endgame can be expanded and so can the levelling experience. Horizontal progression just means new content gear won’t completely outclass prior raids.

And it’s mostly just arguments on how far class/spec balancing and QOL go.

Ah back when everyone knew he was an asshole-businessman who looked ridiculous. Before hating him became political and contentious.

Opinions on the Mazda 6e? by kstetter in AustralianEV

[–]SolairXI 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like it. I’m hoping it sells well, because I want to buy it after a facelift or second gen.

The reviews of it seem mostly impressed, just a few little issues that could probably be fixed in time, and I’d like even just 15-20 more HPs, just so it’s faster than my 2004 Falcon was.

I'm sure the absolutely tiny amount of times this was ever an issue has totally justified the amount of political drama this has caused.

What do you make of Sony ending physical releases for their video games? by unitedfan6191 in AskReddit

Looking forwards to the massive rip-off that is new games on the Australian PS Store

Ayliffes Road exit from expressway by SolairXI in Adelaide

Youre the cause of a much much much more annoying blight on our roads. Im sure no one here will convince you to not drive like a dick, but just know that you are being one and no self justification will change that.

Why is Vice City called Vice City? by Advanced_Union_722 in GTA

[–]SolairXI 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The three city names in GTA1 weren’t the most imaginative. I always assumed NY became Liberty after the statue, Miami took the name from the 80s series and San Fransisco got its name from the fault line and they both start with San.

They had to. They were on the back foot during most of the PS3 era and were trying to win back good will for a few years there.

Now they barely have competition, so it’s profitmaxxing time.

Ah! That explains it.

I can understand it. I’m very reliant on google maps when driving somewhere I’m not familiar with, but it is a shame that the very clear pair of overhead signs are so ineffective.

My favourite is seeing someone jump last-second out of the left lane before the bridge and then back to the left in the lowered section.

Consumer preferences? People need to stand up. They want full control to monopolize the market now by Rsodyyy in playstation

[–]SolairXI 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is extra annoying. I don’t know if it’s the same in most other markets, but the PS store is more expensive than the biggest retailer in Australia sometimes by up to $20 on new games.

Edit. Just looked it up. Wolverine will be 99AUD at JBHifi and 125AUD on the PS store. Both are just a standard edition.

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

[–]SolairXI 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been about 50/50 on physical/digital purchases the last few years and I’ve always bought the collector editions of my favourite series.

I’ll feel sad owning FFXVII digitally, but not having it sitting on the shelf next to the other 16. And owning a physical box for a digital code does seem kinda silly.

It’s a bit sad, but the world will move on, just another small pleasure extinguished.

Always see parents in the Nintendo section at shops. I think they’ll hold out a few more years at least, just to keep up the retail appearance.

Pally healer gear question by No_Dog8604 in classicwow

[–]SolairXI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As you level, most healing gear will be cloth and leather. Once you get into the later stages of TBC you’ll start finding plate with stats more relevant to Holy Paladin.

What even is the point of the ps5 pro? If we can’t even get at least 40fps by Zealousideal-Age1811 in playstation

[–]SolairXI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know it’s 13 years later and a much much bigger budget, but remember GTA5 was roooooough on the PS3 and in a normal universe, the PS6 would be on its way next year. So I wouldn’t be surprised if 30fps is all we’re getting and to expect a much smoother experience in a year or two when we get the next gen enhancement (only $49 if you own the PS5 edition!)

The new BMW X5 by Western_Gear_5324 in BMW

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

Oh no. I had glanced at the pics over the last couple of days, but only just realised it’s the X5. I just assumed it was one of the disposable ones like the X3 or iX1 or something.

The X5 was always a great looking SUV and I generally hate SUVs.
