Everyone is whining about this requirement. Do you guys not have a hyperbolic time chamber to jump into? I’m already Super ChatGPT Plus God Mode.

I’m not going to write .Net, you can’t make me do it. I’m not going to write Python, you can’t make me do it.

Is your backend Node?!? Let’s go baby, I’m a full stack dev.

I love companies swinging between “we have to increase your subscription costs to allow us to offer more great features” and “our customers are excited about our new features so we need to leverage advertising to continue providing them”. Just repeat until everything is loaded with ads AND costs twice as much!

Among my friend group it’s House of Leaves.

“Wow, it’s such an eerie unsettling journey. I really love it.” “you started it last year, did you finish it?” “well …”

I saw another lemmy user claim they had to take a 17 year break from it.

The big thing I’ve run into is regular use vs occasional use. I only use my PS4 as a Blu-ray player these days, and each time I turn it on, it has to figure out if it shut down correctly last time(of course not). Then, after a memory check, it boots. I sign in, and then it yells at me that it has a mess of OS updates to install, which I don’t want to wait for because I just want to watch this damn movie. Plus, my controller barely holds a charge anymore, and if I don’t use the right USB controller plugged into the PS4, the controller doesn’t pair and control the damn thing. If I were using the PS4 every day like I did back in 2016, a lot of these problems wouldn’t be there, but because I boot it once every 3 months, it’s a hassle.

I would love to be able to just slide in a disk and watch in the rare cases I’ve decided to. As it is, I’m about to buy a dedicated Blu-ray player instead of using the hardware I already have.

I better sell my 1,000 copies of Celeste I’ve been sitting on then. I was waiting for retirement, but might as well take the tax hit.

I did not know that, I got a 2080 in the lead-up hype to initial release, don’t think I’ll be doing an upgrade just for this.

The huge update that completely rebalances the game, improves UI, and changes the gear system is free. As for PL itself, I’ll happily continue BG3 until the hype dies down and I get a feel for whether it’s actually worthwhile.

I mean if you look at the post history, OP has posted a LOT of things, but also posted two mary sue articles with kind of inflammatory takes on BG3, and Starfield. So I would not say they specifically have been posting rage bait.

Yeah - of course games are hard - but all he did was rough out a planet-to-space experience in Unreal Engine with a Starfield aesthetic. If he started trying to build an actual game on it… Well an 8 year timeline doesn’t seem crazy.

Pro-tip: if a low-health enemy is close to escaping to call for help you can just throw Baldur’s Gate 3 at them for that last bit of damage!

Ass Orion, The Mighty Hunter… Of Ass.

Especially if you’re playing a class not covered by the default companions. My paladin has been awesome, smashing goblins with a Warhammer, and still able to talk her way through just about anything. Playing a wizard, rogue, or cleric feels like it would make it tough to justify bringing someone along.

I can second this. Every time my parents have expressed a political view, it came from some shock-news spin of how America was a murderous wasteland on the brink of disaster (not because there are more guns than people, but because of all the non-white people who live here).

When I told my parents I was going to New Orleans for a weekend vacation, they were terrified I would get murdered because they had been barraged with news about it being a lawless Democrat-run warren. (Not to downplay the actual violence that has taken place in NO, but their response still made it clear they had seen some first-class fearmongering).

Yeah - the interview touches on the lack of new F-Zero and, to a lesser degree, Star Fox games. Apparently, they just haven’t been a priority, there was a reference to games being canceled far into development, so I wonder if that happened as well.

I love the idea of Nintendo finding a good partner studio to bring a fresh take to F-Zero.

Yeah - I certainly don’t hold out a ton of hope - glad I got my Stadia money back though. Makes it hard to have a ton of hard feelings about the whole thing.
