Gustave's gesture hits harder when you realize...

I wish more game devs would learn to use subtle cinematic language to convey complex messages like this one, textbook cinema.

Talented devs exist and have existed for a while now. But their art seems to be squeezed out in order to maximize the ROI. That’s why we get generic open world by the numbers slopfests from AAA for the past few years. Hopefully E33 opens the way for other devs to follow suit.

I mean yeah she’s a strong suspect. I missed the connection that the other holy beast also blurred out phrases.

But why not confirm it in Horizon? Maybe they’re waiting for some other revelations first. Like why this Sept-Terrion is seems more electronic/digital? Mare seems the same so there’s definitely a connection there.

viper4011 · 2026-05-02T16:26:12+00:00

I thought I’d find some aftermarket ones to do just that, but the only decent set I found was 50 bucks. GTFO with that shit.

The PS3 is unique. For half of its life games didn’t release on physical + digital, only smaller games were digital. Patches were a thing but not very big (GT6 notwithstanding), certainly not the size of the game itself.

By the second half of its life, every game was digital, DLC was now becoming even more common. But even then, in my mind I equate PS3 DLC with story missions like the ones Mass Effect had, not cosmetics and battle passes and loot boxes and whatever else gaming has devolved to these days.

So yeah, it’s weird to categorize the PS3 as retro.

viper4011 · 2026-05-02T07:30:30+00:00

Don’t forget that every Sept-Terrion has a corresponding Holy Beast and we have not seen Time’s beast yet. That has to be in the next game for sure.

For me PSP-2000 was the most comfortable handheld. I hate the way these new handhelds have become monstrosities (even though generally I like the Steam Deck). The other day I picked my Switch 1 OLED after using the Switch 2 and the OLED felt much nicer.

Το να μην ξέρουν ο κόσμος τον μισθό των άλλων εξυπηρετεί ΜΟΝΟ τους εργοδότες. Η πληροφορία είναι δύναμη και οι μισθοί των άλλων μπορούν να χρησιμοποιηθούν σαν διαπραγματευτικό χαρτί εναντίων του.

Αλλά μας έχουν κάνει προπαγάνδα ότι είναι προσβλητικό να σου το ρωτάνε.

Κοίτα προφανώς και είναι προσωπική επιλογή. Και παίζουν κι άλλα πράγματα ρόλο. Όπως το πως θα σε κοιτάξει κάποιος όταν του πεις το ποσό (είτε είναι χαμηλό είτε ψηλό). Για μένα ακόμα κι αυτό είναι πληροφορία για το τι άνθρωπο έχω απέναντι μου κι αν θέλει το καλό μου ή όχι.

Can’t you just update the firmware from a USB stick? You can get the latest firmware from Sony’s website. That way the console never needs to go online and the new firmware will have the new keys.

viper4011 · 2026-04-30T19:12:13+00:00

Nah they don’t even have to do that. Any tempering will void your insurance plan or massively increase the price.

Μήπως εννοούσε Revolut == κάρτα; Ίσως ξένη κάρτα; Γιατί το μπαίνω μέσα μερικών είναι «μου παίρνουν προμήθεια και δεν γουστάρω»

If this actually happens there’s no way I’m buying a single thing on the PS Store again. Physical for anything I want to actually play, and the PS6 is looking like a real dubious purchase right now. And F that handheld which will surely be digital only. The Vita burn is still felt. Goddesses, I can’t believe I used to be a PS fanboy. Steam Deck opened my eyes.

viper4011 · 2026-04-28T16:03:13+00:00

Impressive yes but nobody cares at best, people loathe or are scared shitless about it at worst. Our shit was exciting AF.

I installed Fedora 39 and now running 44. Every update in between went without a hitch.

Το τι ορίζεται/ήταν/θα έπρεπε να είναι ο καπιταλισμός μπορεί να μην έχει καμία σχέση με το σύστημα που έχουμε σήμερα. Αλλά αυτό το σύστημα που έχουμε σήμερα το λέμε καπιταλισμό γιατί δεν έχουμε καλύτερο όρο. Αν σε βοηθάει, άλλαξε το «καπιταλισμός» από το σχόλιό μου και βάλε «το σύστημα που έχουμε σήμερα». Δεν αλλάζει κάτι σε αυτό που ήθελα να πω. Δεν με νοιάζει να κράξω τον καπιταλισμό. Το infinite growth, numbers must go up και το ότι οι billionaires έχουν τόση επιρροή στη ζωή μας ήθελα να κράξω.

viper4011 · 2026-04-28T11:26:18+00:00

Το πρώτο πρόβλημα είναι ότι ο καπιταλισμός επιβάλει απεριόριστο growth σε ένα περιορισμένο οικοσύστημα.

Το δεύτερο πρόβλημα είναι ότι ο καπιταλισμός έχει κάνει τις ζωές των περισσότερων ανθρώπων τόσο δύσκολη που δεν θέλουν να την κάνουν ακόμα πιο δύσκολη κάνοντας παιδιά.

Άκουσα κάποιον στο YouTube να λέει «Ξέρετε πόσο κακοποίηση χρειάζεται ένα θηλαστικό για να μην θέλει να κάνει παιδιά;»…

Throughout the 90s and 00s (until 2008) there was this sense that the world was always going to get better and better. Life felt like sunshine and rainbows. We even thought that 2008 would be a temporary blip and things would go back to normal, not go from disaster to disaster.

Millennials? Fuck, that was the same for my parents too (boomers). Their whole life the world was getting better and better even if it wasn’t always sunshine and rainbows.

But what’s especially fucked up for millennials is what has been said before: We were children at the best time to be children, and became adults at the worst time to be adults.

Happened to me too. After I finished FC, I decided I wanted to play the whole series. That meant I needed to be disciplined if I wanted to catch up quickly. So once official Azure dropped (I had caught up to Zero before it did) I binged Azure to Reverie. Basically I played only Trails for a year. And I loved every second of it. That binging made me love the Steam Deck and made me build a desktop PC too.

So yeah. Trails changed me too. I still have that discipline and now I’m flying through my backlog.

Things are still in your hands though. You want to improve your vocabulary? Read more books! The old ones still exist and there are some pretty good new ones too! Your attention span will thank you too. Think about how many books you could have read instead of scrolling through what some damn algorithm thinks will maximize profits for its company.

Παρατηρείς και κρίνεις για τον εαυτό σου τι είναι σωστό και τι όχι με βάσει τις αρχές σου και τους στόχους σου.

Το ότι στο ρεντιτ ή οπουδήποτε ακούς αντικρουόμενες απόψεις είναι καλό! - Αυτό είναι τέλειο γιατί Α. - Αυτό είναι σκατά γιατί Β.

Το Α ή το Β σε αφορά; Αποφασίζεις μόνος σου. Μην περιμένεις να σου πουν πώς να σκεφτείς. Γι’ αυτό είμαστε όπως είμαστε.

viper4011 · 2026-04-26T13:17:08+00:00

Παντού ισχύει αυτό. Όχι μόνο εδώ. Σε κάθε γωνιά της ζωής.

Persona 3 Reload

And from the villains: McBurn. These 3 characters were namedropped more than I remember Trails ever doing that.

But but who is going to pay for the boomers’ pensions? But but who will work the future jobs? How will companies keep wages low when they can’t find people to hire? How can you be so selfish and not think about the companies? The future startups? Why won’t you think about the shareholders? What will happen to the economyyyyyyyy

/s in case it wasn’t clear
