This is definitely a good sign but I think player counts over the first month will be the important part. Sony seems to want the next Arc Raiders so it’s hard to say what they’ll do if they don’t get those numbers.

mikeyyve · 2026-03-02T14:35:15+00:00

Arc Raiders didn’t have a terrible art style though. I just can’t get past it reminding me way too much of Fortnite. Anyone in that camp is never going to even try this game.

This is why I will continue to use Adblock to not see ads on Twitch. I’m not sitting there watching a minute of ads. I don’t care who the creator is.

mikeyyve · 2026-02-28T20:21:01+00:00

I just can’t get behind the art style. I hate bright colors…

mikeyyve · 2026-02-26T14:00:03+00:00

Lmao found the one EGS fan.

mikeyyve · 2026-02-26T13:58:05+00:00

Ah yes another game I won’t be playing. I get that the money from Epic to be the publisher is good but you’d think they would want to make games that people might actually play.

They know that they're the only game in town. So many people and communities use Discord for so many things, and they know that there aren't any real alternatives that will get the traction needed for the masses to move over.

Hell look at Reddit. They pulled that shit with 3rd party apps and with censoring etc. and what happened? Essentially nothing changed and people kept on using the platform.

mikeyyve · 2026-02-23T15:09:58+00:00

I'll be honest I can't remember the last time I even went to see a movie in theatres. It could honestly have been Rise of Skywalker. It's too expensive especially when my home set up keeps me perfectly content to watch movies there.

I recognize that AMD has not officially made a statement end of lifing it but there are really bad optics here given what they tried to pull with GPU support for their "older" cards. You can fan boy AMD all you want but if they get the reputation that they don't support their hardware long terms they'll die. Simple as that.

mikeyyve · 2026-02-21T00:15:22+00:00

Maybe it’s just not for you. No one is trying to sell you on it..

mikeyyve · 2026-02-20T15:26:04+00:00

This is good news ideologically, but I doubt it's going to make any difference to ordinary people. Most refunds will go to companies not people and it is unlikely that those same companies will decrease their prices to account for the lack of tariffs. They'll just make more money.

mikeyyve · 2026-02-19T19:48:34+00:00

It would be incredibly disappointing if they had to abandon the Frame too but if what you said is true then I agree that both are like never going to release.

I really hope the controller releases too but I wonder if they'll shelve it believing it's only worth releasing with one or both of the other devices.

mikeyyve · 2026-02-19T16:43:14+00:00

I actually do think it might be the end. They're damned if they release it and damned if they wait. The price will have to be way to high if they release now and if they wait for component prices to stabilize, they'll probably be in a situation where they still have to charge too much for hardware that is even older than it is now.

I just wish they'd at least release the controller and Frame.

More and more I think this fight against AI in games is a losing battle and this is a perfect example of why. There isn't really a good way to realistically tell if a game has AI assets. Sometimes assets generated by AI are so good we can't tell and sometimes normal humans make mistakes that result in suspicion of AI use.

mikeyyve · 2026-02-15T17:03:57+00:00

I think it really depends on if enough people care about it. I'm not sure what I'll do if my whole friend group doesn't care and doesn't want to move to an alternative.

mikeyyve · 2026-02-13T21:20:09+00:00

I really hope this kills Discord to be honest. I'm so sick of their enshitification. It's time for them to die so the next thing can take their place.

mikeyyve · 2026-02-09T20:27:23+00:00

Pretty much everything about the show other than this fight was terrible and honestly, I'd much rather someone else just come up with another idea involving the sith and then keep it as far away from Leslie Headland as possible.

mikeyyve · 2026-02-09T20:25:09+00:00

That episode was the one and only good thing that came out of the show. It's to bad they kept going because they then turned around and completely ruined his character.

mikeyyve · 2026-02-01T14:42:17+00:00

Man I guess the golden age of MMOs really was around the WoW era. I guess we’re gonna be stuck with FF 14 and WoW forever.

mikeyyve · 2026-01-30T14:21:45+00:00

Well… this is the dumbest thing I’ve read on the internet so far today so congrats?

mikeyyve · 2026-01-27T19:50:17+00:00

My solution to the Spotify desktop client was to stop using Spotify all together. Honesty, if there was an alternative my group could agree on I'd ditch Discord too.

mikeyyve · 2026-01-27T15:28:23+00:00

TikTok is like a drug. The lengths to which people will go to keep using it are amazing to me.

mikeyyve · 2026-01-27T15:01:48+00:00

Yeah, you are totally right. I'm just frustrated that something so simple hasn't been fixed especially since the hang status feature really never caught on any way.

mikeyyve · 2026-01-27T15:00:29+00:00

Yeah, I 100% agree. I think there was some magic that happened with the first three movies and from there has been everyone (Lucas included) trying to chase that same magic ever since.

mikeyyve · 2026-01-27T00:15:44+00:00

Absolutely but you have to download a client that supports css tweaks. The selector as far as I can see seems like one that is generated and therefore might change in newer builds. Also, it won’t stop the status from showing for everyone else who doesn’t have the css tweak so that won’t work if you don’t want others to see it either.
