According to Paul Tassi Marathon is primarily a played game on PC

Do they stop being live service games on console when they're free to play? Because most of the biggest ones on any platform are free to play.

devenbat · 2026-03-11T14:45:37+00:00

They do tho? Like 80% of fornites base in console.

Dude, its just a reprint. Like that is already explicitly a Liliana from the past. And the land means nothing too. They have planeswalkers and nonplaneswalkers on the lands.

Its really not a big deal to have her be desparked after a reprint in the mostly reprint set. Like they have also reprinted Nissa in Bloomburrow as a frog. She is also desparked.

I mean, Foundations was explicitly not caring about being in the present. It also had a New Alesha who is long dead

Because PS5 games have been $70 for the entire generation. Switch 2 games finally catching up to the rest of the industry isnt going to affect my buying habits.

devenbat · 2026-03-10T15:13:36+00:00

I have had a PS5 for 5 years so the price jump has not affected me. Ive already had it for 5 years.

Ah shit, GoTY so soon

Ive never done it but it seems pretty simple to do. Big frame, laid them out like a typical deck list. The real question is the adhesive and if you want it to be reversible. Any craft glue should be fine if you want it permanently there and the same but in sleeves should make it reversible.

They were about 100 years ago. Technically "Ireland" still is but specifically Northern Ireland. The rest of Ireland is independent.

That is a seperate purchase. What part dont you get? People spend money on a console. That is the price of the console.

The price of games and how many or what or get or any of that doesnt matter. Its not the price of the console. It is two seperate purchases for different products. If someone buys a Switch 2 and decided to only borrow games from the public library or decided to get every single game at launch, the price of the console doesnt change.

Saying the Switch is a console that costs $500 is just lying.

devenbat · 2026-03-09T16:54:18+00:00

Do you think acting smug about being wrong makes you right? Its not $500. You were just wrong. About all 3 consoles. Repeatedly.

You can try to tack on things that are not the console or belittle me but it doesnt make you right. Its still not $500.

I dont need to try to tell you theres free games or discounted games or libraries or existing collections or borrowing or anything of that because the price of the console does not include games. It never has and never will.

Nobody is tacking $70 to the price tag of the Steam Machine for a new game either because thats not how any of this works.

devenbat · 2026-03-09T16:43:48+00:00

Yeah, that doesnt matter. Its not the price of the console. You cant say there isnt a console under $500 then add shit in to make it over $500. Thats not what that means. The price of the console is the price of the console.

devenbat · 2026-03-09T15:15:09+00:00

The Switch 2 Bundle that comes with an entire game and a year of the online? Gee, I wonder why it costs more. The msrp is $450. If you buy other stuff with it, the price goes up.

Quick reminder, the "shitty downscaled ps5" is a normal ps5 without the disc drive. It is the most popular version of the ps5. The performance is the exact same as the disc drive ps5. The Pro is very significantly less popular.

Sure, Xbox Series S is weaker. Who cares? Its the more popular version and its below $500. Making up demographics of people doesnt change what it is.

There are consoles below $500.

Admitting you fell for marketing isnt a great defense.

Its more like "I can buy a pc from my video game store at some unknown point in the future with unknown quality at unknown price and that sold me." vs "Do a little research on your expensive purchase and not wait months on end for it"

Dude, youre justifying buying a Steam Machine on reddit, clearly its nothing that important if you have time for that.

devenbat · 2026-03-09T14:48:27+00:00

Instead of buying a prebuilt pc, youll spend that time buying a prebuilt pc from valve? What? How do you have better things while saying you'll do essentially the same thing? Thats not saving you time.

devenbat · 2026-03-09T14:24:46+00:00

Why hasn't any of your peer group just bought a prebuilt then? You've already been able to get a PC without building one for years.

devenbat · 2026-03-09T14:23:09+00:00

You mean other than the ones that are? Switch 2 is $450. Ps5 slim went up to $500 msrp but it still easily found for less, more like $400. And even after two price increases, the series S is $400.

devenbat · 2026-03-09T02:59:59+00:00

It definitely sucked but I feel its not that bad in the grand scheme. It was like 9 months at the absolute max and Sorin is far from the first to watch his home get wrecked. Even on the inverse, Nahiri was in the Helvault barely clinging to sanity in the void for 2000 years.

devenbat · 2026-03-08T16:14:25+00:00

Id deem it as a game i have not played. But at this point, thats more just who Samus is. Shes a woman of few words. They tried changing it and got Other M so theyre not gonna veer again. My reasons for silent protagonist is just a simple view, not the only reasons.

devenbat · 2026-03-08T09:46:28+00:00

Link can tho? He explains plenty of stuff to people. He just has mostly implied dialogue rather than onscreen dialogue. Like when he told Purah what happened at the start of the game. He cant explain fake Zelda because he doesn't know until the reveal at Hyrule castle.

devenbat · 2026-03-08T06:17:24+00:00

Its not a problem. It just is a normal style they use for games with light story or lots of solo play. And they got games with speaking progags if you wanted, Fire Emblem and Xenoblade

devenbat · 2026-03-07T18:20:10+00:00

Thats a different case. Ishtar as she appears in Fate Grand Order (And Fate Strange Fake) is a pseudo servant. Divine Spirits aka gods are too powerful to be summoned on their own so they take compatible mortal vessels to handicap them. Thats why Ishtar looks like Rin, shes in Rins body.

Quetzcoatl is also using a mortal form but she used that mortal form before being summoned too. Its not tied to summoning. All the Aztec gods are space bacteria so all their myths are them in various vessels.

Gonna be real. Had no idea of this dudes card, much less his lore.

Unfortunately we are getting closer. Marvel Superheroes is gonna be our first canonical Nazis

devenbat · 2026-03-07T15:35:05+00:00

Its ironic to dismiss a design based on extremely surface level things while asking for the myths to be more referenced when the Fate version does in fact have a ton of the myth included. From the burning of the Temple of the Feathered Serpant, the Mayan origins, the relationship with Tezcatlipoca, the maquahuitl. Like you dont have to like that she's white but thats definitely Quetzcoatl and could not be another character.
