Most overrated game ever.

Everything you all are saying can happen in regular relationships too. A person willing to choose an AI likely isn’t going to be great at choosing an actual human who is good for them.

In a relationship, the other person could also be manipulative, or it could be one sided, or they can pressure you to only live certain ways, buy certain things. Or they can backstab you and give your private info to others (family that took my SS info from my parents), or pawn your shit, or cheat on you with others. Like everything negative that might come from this could potentially happen in some remotely similar way in a human relationship too.

I’ve been in and seen others in all kind of relationships that in some ways had these similar negative outcomes.

And I know people who express their same story proudly.

Anecdotes are fun!

Old people also have those same new games and also have the same social media and attention span issues.

Big reason I don’t understand the obsession with Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom. The game world is empty and just feels like so much wasted space, and a ton of it looks like PS2 worldbuilding.

They sucked on reddit too.

I would expect that. I could see an episode where he helps literally implement an insurrection and take over, followed by a “we actually did it?” funny moment, then to a sudden change to damning whatever new government before he even really knows who’s running it now.

There once was this space, and it was mine.

Offline single player, amd occasional local co-op is all I need.

People’s obsession with online play drives all this.

Ah, so assholes trying to define for others what they mean.

Capitalism.

That’s why.

No need to read articles.

I still have mine from launch. Played it yesterday. Get on board. This thing is amazing.

Agreed. Been through the same issue and especially last time I built a pc I noticed this. Finding basic stuff that doesn’t have unnecessary components like glass or excess lights is difficult, much less in a size/shape/configuration that functionally works for what I want to do.

The visual aesthetics pc gamers are obsessed with have steered the supply and made it literally harder for those of us that don’t care about all that.

The system will also reportedly feature a 3.5mm headphone jack

I’m legitimately impressed. Almost no one will include this in tech anymore and it fucking pisses me off.

I seriously do not understand PC gamer obsession with light and color pollution. Unnecessary lights are so fucking obnoxious to begin with, why optionally add MORE that don’t do anything?

Like super cool looking light up PC’s. I don’t get it beyond showing off. I’m looking at my SCREEN! Not the dock or the tower. Why the fuck would I want these distracting colors flying around polluting my space?

Ridiculous. My stuff has always been minimal lights, black tape over other lights, especially fucking blue lights, black colors for towers and consoles, nothing shiny, inconspicuous as possible. Function over looks.

Have I got news for you about people of other older ages…

They… they’re also idiots. Everyone’s generally idiots. It doesn’t get much better.

Thanks to the Get Played podcast, I only hear this in the Resident Evil merchants voice.

Note it says work on, not finish.

Typically L1/R1 shoulder buttons or L3/R3 stick click buttons since those are difficult for me. The rear L4/R4 ones are easier to use. Depends on the game and which I am using the most.

R5 I frequently map to take screenshots depending on the game. Except in emulators R5 is fast forward. The rest of emulator settings are a left touchpad menu that I set up almost identically visually for all emulators as possible so it’s easier for me to hop between systems. L5 gets used the least.

For more complex games, typically older ones where I have to get super creative (like Sacred 2), I use the back buttons totally differently as gameplay needs it and as is comfortable.

Sometimes I find the custom control tinkering as much fun as the game. Trying to find a setup that works for me, tweaking as I go for the first few hours of gameplay, and eventually I save as a template with detailed info in it so I never lose it. I use templates for saving because the other save options are less reliable.
