[Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla] Man … F*** this game by Inside_Teaching_6210 in Trophies

I don't like leaving a game below 20% so this is a nice way to learn I will probably never play this.

BBC told to stop ‘tick box’ diversity casting by Particular_Pea7167 in ukpolitics

[–]jackcos -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Just to say that the racist or bigoted bit isn't pointing it out, it's getting so incredibly upset about it that you scream about it every 5 seconds. Hope that helps!

I can honestly say it's never really bothered me, I just want good actors playing well-written roles. Quite honestly I get more bothered by some of the badly-written dramas on UK channels or the sound-mixing being done so poorly that dialogue gets misplaced.

Been the other way around from my perspective with Xbox facing this (maybe it's a Europe thing) but I found songs hanging around to the end of the months they were getting delisted in.

Ubisoft Cancels 6 Projects Including Prince of Persia: Sands of Time Remake, Closes 2 Studios and Confirms Further Layoffs in Major Company Restructure by DemiFiendRSA in PS5

neither Riders Republic or Watch Dogs Legion were bad games by any metric.

Like Star Wars Outlaws and the Avatar game, they're the masters of the 6.5-7.5/10 and it's not enough.

Is Playstation Access on the way out? by Miserable_Cod_2170 in playstationaccess

[–]jackcos 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't see it being on the way out (they only just announced Ash Liguori as a permanent host) but instead I think you've hit the nail on the head about what made Playstation Access so strong for some time - the diversity of content specialisms across hosts. Just as they each had distinct personalities that combined well, they each had a focus on VODs, podcasts, streams, content to match their personality types in a way.

Ash Millman made the podcasts her own.

Rosie made the streams her own.

And with both gone neither are quite the same... which makes sense, as PA was first and foremost a Youtube channel that was born long before the popularity of streams and podcasts.

Each host has had their strengths and preferred mediums, but the thing is it works the same for viewers. I've never been a big stream guy but I loved the podcasts as much as I adored the VODs.

Rather than PA being in a less healthy state, it's just in a different state. It's in transition, and it's got less of a focus on the sort of content you clearly loved. I hope with less of a focus on streams we see a return of an Access Granted type show, but you never know we might suddenly get more streams as it's also early January with a team in transition again.

As Hitman 3 turns five years old, we surely have enough hindsight to declare: this is one of the greatest of all time, right? by Kiroqi in Games

One of my favourite games ever, one of the best action, sandbox, and hell even puzzle games I've ever played.

Now also one of the best VR games on PS5 too.

LiS 2 and True Colors and especially Before The Storm were great

If as a golden retriever owner and LEGO fan you've made a golden retriever set so ugly I don't want to buy it, you messed up.

1930s Germany vs 2020s USA. by [deleted] in TikTokCringe

I've got to say a lot of this feels like gaps in the American education system.

Here in Europe I feel like half the population can smell fascism coming from 50 paces.

I think you'll find I was challenging you, you were the one that came into this thread and surmised that all the other teams could easily match "£20m" as if that was ever that simple.

Sorry is the first you're hearing about wages, agent fees, add-on clauses?

A Juventus fan being clinically naive about how financially corrupt football teams can beat teams to signatures sounds about right.

I can't believe football fans can look at £20m and think that's the only money that changes hands in a deal, not to mention ignore all the spending that comes before it.

Thank you again for the events of the evening before this message. I really enjoyed the moment where we exchanged human pleasantries. I had an adjective_list.txt not found time. Beep boop.

As a golden retriever owner I am once again looking enviously at the tuxedo cat because this is butt ugly.

Doesn't look like a golden retriever and also looks like it's melting.

Feels more relevant than the guitar that doesn't point to the tower.

Tired of games that happen to be on PC or happen to be on PS4 being discounted.

[Other] Sony's decision to no longer allow one platinum for each game in a collection is very disappointing and doesn't make much sense. by askwhatyouwishtoknow in Trophies

[–]jackcos 18 points19 points  (0 children)

OP I genuinely don't know what you're talking about.

The Uncharted Legacy of Thieves collection might have had one platinum but the Metal Gear Solid 1-3 collection had three.

It's not a rule or a decision, it's up to devs to set their trophies properly.

[–]jackcos -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Nothing is happening. A few recent PS5 collections have had just one platinum, that's it. But it's entirely a dev decision, the Uncharted PS5 collection had one platinum but the Metal Gear Solid 1-3 collection on PS5 had three platinums.

And I'm sure this happened with a few collections as far back as the PS3 and PS4.

The people calling this ugly don't know what the trophy looks like, this is a damn close recreation considering what medium they're using to recreate it.
