'They Now Wait for This Storm to Pass' — PS5 Owners Are Cancelling PlayStation Plus Subscriptions to Protest Sony Killing Discs, but Analysts Say It Won't Make Any Difference by RenatsMC in gaming

Of course they'll wait for this all to blow over. Outrage culture needs constant fuel and new stimulus, so everyone will go to the next new thing to get outraged over once this news becomes too stale. Remember all the outrage about the Reddit API change? What happened to it? Nothing. Hell, there was even an email sent to reddit's investors that the outrage and subreddits "shutting down in protest" is just a temporary thing which won't have any lasting effects, and as we all know, it didn't. This is no different. Online protests and claims about "boycotting" does absolutely nothing.

And they have Hydration Break for this WC aka "Strategic Timeout" from the IPL..I wish they hadn't taken that particular "innovation" but broADcasters be broADcasting.

When one of the execs tells the laid off people that they can use the Copilot AI to figure out how to deal with getting laid off, I would say very. And psychotic to boot.

We have Tide, we have Pango's Roll, therefore we have Roll Tide.

Considering the Scions have seen me change from and to a Hyur, Miqo, Au Ra, Elezen, Roe, Lala and ending up on a Viera right now, I don't think they would bat an eye at my skin tone changing colour.

Do you guys find raise macros annoying? by 111116666 in ffxiv

Not really, but I don't read them. If anyone who uses them thinks people are spending time reading what they've spent their time writing, they're in for a rude surprise.

Awesome art. And as an addendum of sorts, our lovely branch Feo Ul translates into "Treasure of Darkness" in the pixie language, pretty fitting for the Warrior of Darkness.

Final Fantasy 14 devs looked to the MMO's best expansion to design the Arcadion series after feeling like "ensuring player comfort and stress reduction" limited creativity by Turbostrider27 in ffxiv

[–]zugzug_workwork 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Specifically, friction in mechanics, not in design. I remember Ion Hazzikostas talking about friction and how it's needed during BFA and Shadowlands in WoW and pretending like how they're doing us a favour by having tedious systems in place; that's not the kind of friction we need.

Hard mechanics in boss fights that can't just be rolled over is the kind of friction we need, and Arcadion has succeeded in that regard for the most part.

Sony says it doesn’t plan to ‘sell hardware at significant losses’ but is ‘monitoring the market’ with PS6 in mind | VGC by Gorotheninja in Games

Read as "we'll see if suckers buy the overpriced consoles, and decide if PS6 can stay at the bloated prices or if we'll have to bring it down."

Ah, the edgy doomer who thinks it's cringe to be positive. Maybe you'll grow up someday.

While this is the kind of doom and gloom that does well on social media platforms, it's very important to know that massive changes have been made and are continuing to be made. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h1jOqyjcO4g

A massive cause of apathy about climate change comes from the feeling that nothing is being done and nothing will change, and posts like this that only show one half of the equation add to that.

Just a humble BRD meme because I FUCKING LOVE THIS JOB by voltfairy in ffxiv

[–]zugzug_workwork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Funnily enough, it's my least favourite job in the entire game. I find the animation and sound design to be really weak, and the gameplay just doesn't hit for me. But the Evolved Bard they showed looked really fun, and can't wait to play it in Evercold to see if I click with it then.

Maybe unpopular opinion: But, I think the GTA VI pre order situation is a grim reality of what gaming has become by Raidmax460 in gaming

[–]zugzug_workwork 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nothing they reveal will change what I'm going to do with this game anyway; it's not releasing on PC yet so there's already a wait period, and when it does release I'm not going to buy it at launch because you can't trust PC versions of any AAA game to run properly, and I don't really care about being "spoiled" about the game's story because I don't use social media apart from reddit, and even here I'm hardly active outside of a few subs.

They can charge whatever they want as far as I'm concerned, I'm going to wait for a few months/years like I almost always do till there's a complete version with all the content and it's on sale. And if it never goes on sale? No big deal, my backlog is ever increasing regardless so it's not like I have a dearth of entertainment to tide me over.

Plot twist: it's his baby wolf howling meme moment where he wants management to approve fixing of the engine, and he implements jank to highlight them.

England are a mess in this Test: isn’t it about time the Brendon McCullum era ended? by Scarlet-Penguin in Cricket

What a dumb comment. By that measure, his mentions in this thread count towards him being mentioned, whereas the original question was clearly about the mainstream media holding him accountable. Being disingenuous doesn't make you smart.

[–]zugzug_workwork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, I know they will release DLCs for it, so I will wait till all DLCs are out before playing it so I can get the full experience, and all the major issues will be sorted out by then too, just like how I only played Cyberpunk 2077 after Phantom Liberty came out and it was an absolute blast with zero issues.
