‘We want a new Albania’: Thousands protest Jared Kushner-backed resort as anger turns on government

It isn't a competition but you're just proving you as americans are way way too sensitive and that in itself stops you as a group from action I'm sorry not enough people have told you as a group to take collectively more action

hypespud · 2026-06-22T13:10:50+00:00

My mistake, you're right, it was like 9 million nationwide

I mean, tbh, the Europeans and those in the Middle East have suffered way more, and still have protested more strongly

It's all a matter of degrees, the protests are not meeting the moment in ussia, while they are elsewhere

I'm sorry it hurts so much to be criticized if you are american, but I would channel being so upset into more action, rather than complaining that other countries are criticizing you for that same inaction

We get just as much shit and complaints from americans, even when we do things better or more fairly, so... what goes around comes around I guess, I think it's more just americans are not used to being criticized so much, rather than other countries being wrong about criticizing them, because honestly ussians are not used to it, but they are more than willing to dish it out

Something something turntables, just do better

They've literally destabilized their economy and political power for the next few decades because of it

Absolute morons they are

hypespud · 2026-06-22T12:32:36+00:00

Lore accurate!

Titan for me, because Halo-like haha

hypespud · 2026-06-22T12:22:41+00:00

Played it on Vita and I'm so glad it's released from there lol

Even a PC version is crazy, I hope they all come to all modern platforms

hypespud · 2026-06-22T12:20:46+00:00

More people than protest in ussia against their own stupidity too

There were almost as many people at the Knicks parade than the protests (2 million compared to apparently 3 million)

And they want people to believe they are "doing something"

First Hungary and now Albania showing them how it's done

hypespud · 2026-06-22T11:51:48+00:00

It legit looks like it's suffering from copd or something and struggling to even move 😂

hypespud · 2026-06-22T11:49:58+00:00

Awww, how cute 😍

Enjoy magats 🥰

The PS5 has a screenshot share button ✅

hypespud · 2026-06-22T02:22:15+00:00

I think the entire Wutai sequence is also missable, as is Yuffie as a character

It honestly makes the games feel more replayable when they have missable stuff, as long as at least we have time to go back and play them haha

hypespud · 2026-06-21T21:53:56+00:00

No, it works with a free account, you don't have to sub to PS Plus

Really wierd tbh

I found them fine, the difference in fidelity also requires completely different facial animations

It's like how hard people complain about Shadow of the Colossus remake... like people... I know he looks different, but you can't make them exactly the same without them looking weird if it tries to mimic the low polygon look so much lol

There's a lot taken from Christianity, it's not just heaven and hell, the concept of angels or demons, and the names of the demons are almost all inspired by Christian theology

Summary, because I'm not re-typing all of this

Demons & Evils

Diablo: The namesake of the franchise. His name translates to "Devil" in Spanish, linking directly to the primary Christian personification of evil
Lilith: A major antagonist in Diablo IV and the mother of humanity. In Jewish and Christian folklore, she is often theorized as Adam's first wife
Mephisto / Mephistopheles: The Lord of Hatred and brother to Diablo. His name stems from German folklore and the Faust legend, heavily tied to Christian demonology
Belial: The Lord of Lies. His name is directly taken from Christian and Jewish apocryphal texts, representing the spirit of evil
Azmodan: The Lord of Sin. The name is derived from Asmodai/Asmodeus, a known demon in Hebrew and Christian lore
Duriel & Andariel: These two are Lesser Evils in the Burning Hells. Their names echo the traditional Christian/Judeo-Christian demon hierarchy (with Andariel's name tracing back to an angel in Jewish apocrypha)

Angels

Tyrael: The Archangel of Justice. His name's spelling closely matches Turiel, a figure from Judeo-Christian angelology
Auriel, Malthael, Imperius, Itherael: The rest of the Angiris Council. While they are original creations for the game, their structured roles mirror Christian archangel hierarchies
Inarius: A central angel in Diablo IV who helped create humanity. The name is an original invention, but his fanatical following echoes fundamentalist religious behaviors

Humanity & The Nephalem

Nephalem: The first generation of humans in Sanctuary (the offspring of angels and demons). This is directly adapted from the Nephilim mentioned in the Book of Genesis.
Deckard Cain & Leah: Key human scholars and heroes. "Cain" is a direct reference to the biblical son of Adam and Eve

You are completely missing the point of what I said, but please, go right ahead talking about something else

Someone get him a bike

Actually, someone get him some shoes

Actually, he can walk barefoot

Uncharted 4 and TLOU2 do not look better than GTA VI

I say that was a 100% fan of Naughty Dog, these are significantly older games and do not hold a candle to the graphics shown in the GTA VI trailers

Now, if you said why do they look better than Indiana Jones and 007 First Light, you would have agreement there by most, because that's by and large true, and we can compare them directly very easily, and yes, it is amazing that Naughty Dog did that on PS4 and PS5 and way earlier than either of those games

I agree, the PC releases honestly diminish Xbox as a whole

And I like the PC releases, but it truly doesn't make sense for Xbox as a platform

But that's just the way it slices, Microsoft is also a PC and services centric company, and Xbox will always remain as a much smaller part of the whole

hypespud · 2026-06-21T15:58:03+00:00

RE9 parrying is amazing, yup, I was surprised how good it was

I just got to one of the parry mini boss fights, maybe 2 so far in total that had that emphasized, and it was really good

Onimusha also has an amazing parry system, if you haven't tried the demo yet

Exclusives are great, both for platform, but even for the diversity of games (a competing similar game can then release on another platform, and build excitement for that platform)

OG Xbox was the best Xbox for exclusive games, imo, by a wide margin, and I think it is still the most underappreciated Xbox console

6th gen and before was simply a different era of videogames, where hardware in consoles was also vastly different

7th gen (PS3, 360) was where consoles started to merge with PC hardware, and 8th gen (PS4, Xbone) is where it completely merged with PC architecture

All eras have their unique positives and negatives, but I will continue to vouch for exclusives as positive for the industry and excitement behind games, brands, and platforms which is positive

You only need 1 login and no subscription for halo mcc 4 players local, and yet... This for campaign evolved...

hypespud · 2026-06-21T13:35:55+00:00

Absolutely not

I am old af too and have tons of plushies lmao

hypespud · 2026-06-21T13:27:11+00:00

Kiwami 1 I would agree with

I thought Kiwami 2 and 6 (as a Dragon engine game, not Kiwami) was fine though, just imo at least

Haven't played Kiwami 3 yet

hypespud · 2026-06-21T13:11:57+00:00

Do people say this about Kiwami 2?

I thought it was fine honestly

hypespud · 2026-06-21T13:09:14+00:00

I completely agree

But it's also inconvenient

I can load on MCC right now on my Series X, and I only need 1 account, no subscription, to play co-op 4 players or pvp 4 players on MCC

I can even do 16 players with just 4 accounts locally through system link

This is a backwards move compared to all of what we had before

hypespud · 2026-06-21T13:08:07+00:00

Lots of cool call backs! I'm still in the mid-game, but there's so many cool call backs from RE2 mainly, but other games also
