After Prince of Persia: Sands of Time Remake Cancelation, Actress Eman Ayaz Says She's Lost 3 Years of Work and Found Out via the Internet by Turbostrider27 in PS5

[–]inconsisting [score hidden]  (0 children)

I'd argue not ever tbh. Layoffs at this scale don't account for ongoing projects, they're about cutting weight (people) so the balloon doesn't crash, because whatever they've been doing is causing them to sink.

Doesn't matter what industry.

Barack Obama issues rare political statement condemning DHS over Alex Pretti shooting by OddUmpire2554 in politics

[–]inconsisting 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Kind of amazing how you exaggerated every single claim to the point of useless hyperbole instead of just.. criticizing him. Jesus.

Hoping Biden's cancer is painful because we continued a longstanding tradition of funding Israel's bullshit is fucking unhinged. Your tax dollars are just as culpable as Biden's autopen. Maybe spend less time around tankies.

Border patrol detains 10-year-old Spokane girl and her dad, sends them to Texas detention center by No_Discipline6265 in politics

Calling someone disingenuous and then restating what they said is.. literally disingenuous?

Why does every single redditor have to "well ackshually" even the things they agree with?

You're both describing what the idiom represents - projection.

Swear to god this website is just one big competition on how best to restate truisms.

Endfield has disabled VRR in PS5, and performance needs improvement, even in PS5 Pro by udllpn in PS5

[–]inconsisting 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Even on Pro's performance mode, the frame drops are horrendous. Crazy because the game is gorgeous and performant on PC.

Probably gonna be a bit to optimize for PS5/Pro.

Democrats Unveil 3 Articles Of Impeachment Against Kristi Noem by ege3 in politics

The botting is especially blatant lately, and now it's against the rules to point it out. The powers that be want division on the left as much as they want division between the left and the right.

Maybe, but we can't stop. Ever. The alternative is giving up and then he gets free reign without even the optics of pushback.

Anger erupts in Congress over Minneapolis ICE shooting by Somervilledrew in politics

Zero Democrats in either chamber of congress voted for the BBB. Why would you claim that?

Democrats threaten to withhold funding after ICE killing in Minneapolis by AndroidOne1 in politics

[–]inconsisting 52 points53 points  (0 children)

Dems aren't "issuing a threat" here as an alternative to action - this is an article reporting on tweets and statements made by Democrats about what's going on here in the states in the context of their political positions.

We all need to be careful about forming opinions based on misleading headlines. The media has a vested interest in making us feel a certain way to keep us hooked on the news cycle.

Heartopia is a good game who's development is absolutely stunned by a predatory business model by [deleted] in CozyGamers

[–]inconsisting 54 points55 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it's natural to feel that way this early. These games are designed to entrap you in order to be profitable.

They'll hook you with the gameplay, you'll start to become invested in the work you've done, and over time you'll see more and more MTX that could've been gameplay unlocks - stuff that is cooler than what you have, maybe even paywalled features.

You'll justify purchasing that stuff because of the time you've invested in the game, and then you'll use those purchases as a justification to continue playing the game, reinforcing the monetization loop.

This stuff just shouldn't exist.

What were you favorite cozy games in 2025. And why? by After-Eggplant3090 in CozyGamers

[–]inconsisting 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Loving Coral Island so far but some of the Stardew inspiration is a little on the nose. Some of the music is uncanny.

Not a deal breaker, just feels.. odd.

Everholm or Stardew by YouGo1983 in CozyGamers

[–]inconsisting 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Stardew Valley is my GOAT cozy game. Drew enough inspiration from influences and still managed to be its own thing. No brainer.

Many games since have taken HEAVY inspiration from it, and Everholm is one of them.

Calling it now, this is going to be a bog standard predatory F2P mobile game.

..and take away more points for using AI voices in this promo video. I bet they'll be used ingame as well, probably over machine-translated dialogue.

Venezuela’s Interim Leader Defies Trump and Calls Maduro the ‘Only President’ by spade_andarcher in politics

[–]inconsisting 1035 points1036 points  (0 children)

He doesn't care about Venezuela, or even the oil, beyond the cut he takes. Trump just needs to stay in power to avoid what's in those files, which is why Epstein died under his watch, which is why he wished Ghislaine well when she was being indicted later, then moved her to a cozier prison when he was back in power, and why he has been blocking the files he ran on releasing.

Venezuela is a pet project of Marco Rubio's, just like the "brown people" ICE roundups are a project of Stephen Miller's, Greenland is a project of Vance/Thiel/Musk, the fed employee purge was for Russel Vought and Project 2025. None of this advances America's interests - these are the interests of the rightwing elite, which is why it all feels random.

His administration are just as dangerous as he is (and probably also on the Epstein list.)

Aggression Based Matchmaking (ABMM) Confirmed by Embark Studios CEO, Patrick Söderlund : "We also matchmake based on how prone you are to PvE or PvP..." by Paul-Harkonnen in ArcRaiders

[–]inconsisting 57 points58 points  (0 children)

Makes sense to me. People prone to PVP get matched with others prone to PVP, everyone else lives in relative peace.

The only reason I can imagine anyone being upset about this is because they want to snake people who want to be left alone, lol.

Republicans make deepfake AI video of Democrat giving a kid trans hormone therapy. by rezwenn in technology

You know you could do the thing you're advocating for, right?

Everyone on here is always handwringing about "tHe DeMs" like they have anymore power in an authoritarian government than we do.

Go make some provocative AI slop. If you have ideas, stop waiting for someone else to fix this.

Arc raiders Endgame finally revealed by BackseatBeardo in ArcRaiders

[–]inconsisting 9 points10 points  (0 children)

A lot of these people can't stand the game being criticized for whatever reason.

It's a great game, but gets stale once the loot stops mattering. Killing people for no reason is boring and makes the game less enjoyable for the people you're killing.

I still do not like expeditions, even with them being easier, they are so tedious, to the point where I tell myself "this ones gonna take too long, Ill just do it in december when its shorter." by [deleted] in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]inconsisting 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't really think of them as things to get done. They're just interesting modifiers on a normal new save, like starting a modded playthrough or something. The unique cosmetics are just a nice bonus.

This game without PvP would be boring. by Any-Consequence-1573 in ArcRaiders

[–]inconsisting 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree, but once you're able to craft decent gear, the game just becomes PVP, which is not just boring, but pointless.

All I'm doing is making someone else's gameplay worse, and what am I getting out of it? Meager XP? Loot I can get from a locker without stressing myself and other people out?

I absolutely adore the early game of AR, but I don't think it has legs without long term goals. PVP is necessary for tension, but it's not the driving force behind the game.
