The PS5 Pro is way overpriced and the regular PS5 doesn’t really have many exclusives over PS4 so it’s not a big surprise they can’t move consoles

Apparently the large arc parts had their recycle amounts halved. Such a stupid nerf. Are we supposed to fight the big arcs or not? Because with all the changes, the juice isn’t worth the squeeze.

Durability and cost tweaking is the best approach in my opinion. I just hate when they nerf a gun and it feels completely different. Especially considering this isn’t a spawn - die multiplayer FPS. PvP is fun, but it’s not the whole point. It doesn’t need to be balanced.

Wolfpack takes a rocketeer driver now. Oof

Not a huge fan of weapon rebalancing. It’s ok if some guns are ass. Just make them cheaper. A meta is always going to form so trying to fight it seems pointless. Just make the best gun purchasable from tian wen so everyone has access to it.

Personally I do not like the live service model, I like the game I play in a couple years to be the same game I bought at release. I don’t have a lot of time to play so I miss out on these fast release cycles. I’d rather them delay release until they have enough content and then release expansion packs.

Asset rich, cash poor. It has its advantages over being regular poor with no assets but except for the largest farmers, they aren’t living a life of luxury. At least at the size where they are still considered a family farm and not a corporate farm

I am skeptical that it can grow to be a network the size of twitter, be ran as a for-profit, and not enshittify. I can’t think of a single example that hasn’t. Bluesky has ran as a public benefit corporation so far, but it has to keep the lights on somehow.

It took twitter years to run somewhat profitably. Even then Twitter was enshittified before Musk bought it. Premium subs are probably the least enshittified way to raise revenue, but ads and algorithms meant to raise engagement towards those ads are very much enshittification in action. That “normal people” have a high level of monetization they are willing to tolerate, is just grease on the wheels toward enshittification.

I admittedly have a limited understanding of the full operation of ATProto so please correct me if wrong. Appviews/lists/feeds are supposed to be the defense of ad/algorithm enshittification, anyone could write an appview with a different algorithm.

And this is why I assume that the network can only be run without enshittification, is by a benevolent provider. If Bluesky becomes hostile to an Appview that allows users to bypass ads or engagement farming, users can move their PDS to another relay that isn’t hostile to it. But there still remains the underlying reason that Bluesky would theoretically have become hostile to it. I don’t see how blacksky, for instance, wouldn’t also have to eventually take the same steps.

The obvious answer is whatever generation you grew up during.

I think the most realistic answer I think would be from 1998 to 2001 as the golden years of gaming. Just so many classics games from basically every genre and system of the time. Half Life on PC, Spyro and Crash 3 on PlayStation. Sonic Adventure on Dreamcast. Pokemon on Nintendo. Halo on Xbox. And that’s just the beginning of the list.

There, of course, were plenty of shovelware titles. So it’s not like the era didn’t have its own problems like we have with excessive reboot/remasters/remakes and subscription and battle pass slop and everything else.

But the difference is that gamers have changed their standards. It’s easy to avoid Hello Kitty Island Adventure in the year 2000. Hard to purchase a game today without a live service model or battle pass

I don’t have a single exclusive for PlayStation 5 that didn’t also come out on ps4. So idk, I’d probably say Astro Bot is PlayStation’s game

If twitter but with less right wing voices is what the people wanted then they will be sorely disappointed when bluesky enshittifies with no real recourse to prevent it. If everyone just hops on over to blacksky or whatever other 3rd party relay exists, they’ve still got the same problem. All the power resides in a single entity. Bluesky’s basic defense of their platform is that if they enshittify then ATProto allows some other benevolent corporation to take their place but has one major flaw. Corporations are not benevolent

Playstation: we have one game

FTFY

The generation has been hell

I played this game all the way through without a guide about 3 years ago. It has NES jank but the only really frustrating parts are unlocking the dungeon with the flute and with the candle. Everything else had a hint to tell you how to find it or was just out in the open

The key was to write everything down. The dungeons are fine, it’s just the overworld that needs hints
