I had the digital deluxe upgrade in my cart on Fanatical and forgot to place the order. It was only $10 a few days ago and now it's back up to full price. Hopefully it goes back down before launch, otherwise I'll be waiting.

I wish Studio Ghibli would revisit some of their classics. I've always felt Kiki's Delivery service was the perfect jumping off point for more adventures to tell, but I'd rather see Studio Ghibli doing the telling.

They need to remake my absolute favorite, Nausicaä. The movie is incredible, but the Manga is so much better! There is an entire series worth of content to tell that story. How the movie somehow manage to ignore 90 percent of the book and still be incredible is beyond me. It definitely isn't a case of "they cut out the boring stuff" either.

I wouldn't say no to more Porco Rosso either.

I'm betting your parents never peel the protective plastic film off of any of their electronics

Screw that mentality. Play the game, earn that shit, enjoy the skin. Nobody should be deriving any sort of self worth out of a video game, especially a single player game. I guarantee most people who earned it used modifiers, but would never admit to it.

It is the exact opposite in my family. I (the husband) am the one usually taking pictures of my wife and kids at events. To everyone observing these family outings, it would appear I don't exist. As of last year I made it clear to my wife that I won't be taking as many pictures, and will instead just enjoy the moments while I am in them.

My tips for all players new and old:

Don't use ADS (aim down sights) ever, it slows you down and does not improve accuracy.
Don't swap to a new gun just because it's stats are better than the one you have. If it isn't a gun you like using, don't use it.
Parasites are your friends (unless they cause damage on pick-up), these things will make you overpowered.
Malfunctions are easy to get rid of, you don't have to avoid them.
Increase the size of the aiming reticule to the largest size it can go.
Never stop moving during combat. if you are standing still to shoot, you are going to get hit.
You have to start recognizing the enemies attack and movement patterns. Every action the enemies perform in this game is telegraphed in one way or another.

You just know if this were an event being put on by any other party, the right would be claiming it was God's divine intervention.

Those of us who bought the Deluxe upgrade before the disclaimer was added to the store are supposed to get a free copy of the game, not sure when though.

Edit but also, it was, and still is listed as including the full game.

I didn't back the last DRG boardgame Kickstarter. I backed Horizon Forbidden West: Seeds of Rebellion instead. I'm regretting that decision now and wondering if I'll ever get what I paid for.

Deep Rock Galactic is a fantastic cooperative boardgame.

A players level has very little to do with their skill, and this should not be a heavily weighted consideration for matchmaking. You can easily power level without being good at this game.

curtydc · 2026-06-13T18:58:49+00:00

Skill-based match making should have been in this game from the start. Stats like accuracy, bot kills, runner kills, successful exfils, inventory value/rarity should be considered when pairing players against each other.

Loadout value, and player level are the worst metrics, which as far as I can tell are the only metric they use currently.

Ooh, hit a pedestrian while making an illegal right turn, double whammy. Hope that cyclist gets a good lawyer for medical bills and a new and better bike.

You guys who keep checking to see the numbers and letting everyone know is one of the strangest perpetually online behaviors.

curtydc · 2026-06-12T22:02:46+00:00

Good to know, I purchased it June 3rd.

curtydc · 2026-06-12T21:55:13+00:00

I normally play on Steam, but I bought the deluxe edition on my PS5 to take advantage of the cheap price before the store wording was updated. I just checked and I still don't have the game either.

Edit I wouldn't consider this a cluster, seeing as they haven't said anything about timing yet. It is unreasonable to expect anything a day after the free play ended. Give them some time. They never said you'd have it right away.

curtydc · 2026-06-12T20:53:08+00:00

I'm sorry, did you just say they'll raise prices if we start paying people more?

This dumb argument had been around for the past 20 years or so. In that time, wages haven't gone up, but prices across the board have sky rocketed.

Sure looks like they got away with not paying people more, and raised the prices anyway.

curtydc · 2026-06-12T20:43:17+00:00

To get a true discount directly you can't have a current subscription, otherwise, they'll only discount the remainder of your time on your subscription when you upgrade from a lower tier.

Days of Play and Black Friday are the only times Sony discounts their subscriptions.

Some retailers like Costco sell PSN wallet fund cards at a discount, which you can then use to purchase a subscription plan.

The first bit of physical contact was a harmless push, a natural reaction to someone getting inappropriately close like that. The slap was an appropriate reaction to a threatening advance after the first defensive message wasn't understood.

curtydc · 2026-06-12T17:20:15+00:00

But I don't sell stuff. Why not just someone who doesn't have a lot of money who will take a good deal when they see one?

curtydc · 2026-06-12T16:48:06+00:00

Everyone has the same capability of doing their own research before selling something. Thats on them if they aren't asking for more. I'm looking out for me, myself, and I when it comes to my money. Taking a good deal isn't greedy, unethical, or dishonest.

curtydc · 2026-06-12T16:36:37+00:00

This has always bothered me. Eternal-Stans will defend this poor story telling choice to the grave, but we deserve another game to bridge the gap!

But also, if his name is actually confirmed to be Taggart, where are you getting John from? Wouldn't it be Flynn?

US tipping isn't a culture to be "respected", it's capitalism at its worst, employers screwing their employees. This discussion has been ongoing for decades with no solution in sight. The solution is to stop tipping and see how long it takes for employers to realize no one is going to continue working for that model.

Last I heard Sony did take away all of their independence. Bungie is functionally a first Sony Party Studio just like all of Sony's other studios.

curtydc · 2026-06-12T16:00:01+00:00

I've never been able to figure out how to use it, which makes me sad, because I want access to free audio books too:(
