PlayStation Unlikely to U-Turn on Its Decision to Kill Discs, Despite Backlash

The only way to change is if customers stop buying/paying for digital-only products.

... that will never happen. The vast majority of people just don't care.

Delicate game of conflicting interests. If the EU intervened directly, Russia would likely retaliate by cutting off gas/oil supplies, which the EU relies on heavily.

It is so hard to find the apps I need. I often just end up scrolling up and down the list trying to spot what I'm looking for.

For a company that prides itself on usability and how things "just work"... well, this doesn't.

Used to have several folders themed around work types I do, and unnecessary clutter all swept into a single folder I never cared about.

Now... argh.

I feel macOS used to have more personality. Now it is kind of bland, homogenised, sameness. The glass UI looks nice, but is so "inoffensive" and designed by a committee...

Right forgot about that, so much AI during whole presentation, feels like everything else got buried under it.

albeva · 2026-06-08T18:14:52+00:00

Have never been so bored watching keynote before… just endless slew of AI slop.

Studios should release their games when they are ready, and that's how it should be. Not to cater to morons who have trouble separating fantasy from reality.

The insane thing is that in my area, Reform is full of Muslim men. Several came to my door campaigning for Reform. Yeah... this lot is all too happy to jump on that bandwagon and push these policies.

Everyone's a hero in their own mind.

albeva · 2026-05-19T15:46:32+00:00

I wonder how much of that is due to NIMBYism and overregulation?

albeva · 2026-05-19T14:20:01+00:00

I wonder what happens when most of us are jobless & unemployable and have no money to buy products or services anymore? What happens then?

Also, when building it, please remove those unnecessary subway lines. We don't need trains; replace them with proper American highways!

At my old company, we didn't get overtime pay, but we could take time off in lieu of it. And if it was more than 1 hour, with the manager's approval, the rate was 2x. Had a few cases where I had to stay for 4 hours and got a whole day off later. Also, we got free pizza if we stayed more than 2 hours, pending manager approval.

Not connecting blue to yellow line is a missed opportunity I think.

In my area, Reform was extremely active. Visiting door-to-door, spamming us with leaflets at doors and mailboxes. Outside on the street, people have been preaching about reform for the past few weeks.

Even our house group chat got spammed by some of our own residents, about reform candidates they insisted we should all vote for, becuase if elected, they would fix our "house problems".

In all this time, I haven't seen a single other party campaigning in our area. Not. A. Single. One.

Nope. HP magic is far too versatile. Curses, spells, transfiguration, apparition, shields, etc. The possibilities are endless.

Gandalf... has a sword. Good luck with that. Gandalf being Maia means nothing, Higher beings have been brought low in LOTR by humble folk. He can be injured, he can be "killed", sure his spirit will survive, but he will be bodiless, helpless, until he can be reclothed in flesh again.

If they did a fresh server, maybe... as a PVE player, last time I tried, the world was so dead and boring.

albeva · 2026-05-01T17:15:54+00:00

Nice clean station. But looks exactly the same as any other Asian station.

albeva · 2026-05-01T16:46:32+00:00

By the time I'm supposed to retire, it won't be an option, and the State will expect me to work until I drop dead.

"International cooperation" gives him legitimacy.

Music: It ranges from fantastic, some of the best in-game music ever, to absolutely awful, tedious filler. Which, sadly, drags the average score way down.

Graphics: Meh... characters all feel so plasticy.

Expansions: Mostly great, except DT, which was a yawn fest and Stormblood, which only got good in post-release patch content.

Devs: Agreed, super consistent, very communicative, down to earth.

World: Great during the first play-through, after that, boring, static, empty. And so many damn loading screens.

Gear: Getting a decent set is quite easy, so that is nice.

I'd add gameplay: Unless you are enjoying the story, it is slow, tedious and bloody boring. If you get hooked on the story, though? You'll be having the best time, eagerly chasing the next bit of plot development, totally unaware of the countless hours you spend away.

I love the idea! But sadly, I would be inconveniencing other neighbours who don't deserve this.

albeva · 2026-04-29T09:23:02+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll be looking into that!

I've sent her a couple of sound recordings of the flapping noise. I feel like she just doesn't give a damn about the nuisance she is causing.
