Very interesting in my view. In a lot of online discussions, people are often dismissing physical media, but it seems the majority of consumers prefer to have a disc drive (myself included). This also gives me hope, that the next generation of consoles will also come with a disc drive, giving us more options to buy games.
Gamers still want the option for discs as over 80% of all PS5 console sales in the US have been for the disc edition.

Same. I remember Shadow Fall for PS4, looked absolutely amazing, but was quite forgettable. On the other hand, Horizon is extremely memorable, so it’s a good choice to focus on that.
I didn’t know that. What is the difference between this, and “built-in” shrapnel in explosives (from a legal perspective)? The end result is all the same after the explosion
True, but there are 2 sides to this: the majority won’t buy VR, unless there are enough games to play.
Studios should be actually investing and taking a risk, maybe it works out and becomes a big market, maybe not. If they keep going the current path, VR will forever remain an expensive niche gimmick. Which they seem to okay with.
Based on the article: the AAA thing was supposed to be something new/different, but they closed it before releasing anything. I also haven’t tried the mobile games, but they should be still available, that is done by a different team
Apple could also check location with GPS and wifi, making them unusable in Russia.
Yes, without permission it’s vampiric assault, a serious crime. Victims are coming forward more and more since the #Vtoo movement
I’m curious what people are hoping for. When was the last time Bethesda made a good game? I would bet maybe 5% of ppl working on Skyrim are still there. It’s unlikely they will be able to correct course, and we’ll get a new Starfield
Yes, I hate to be “no true Scotsman”, but they are not actually leftists, just fan of a few dictatorships, some of which claim or used to claim to be socialist.
There is also just tiny graphic improvements now, so for most people, 5 years old games look similar to what we have now
You’re just jelous of my 5k kimited edition spaceship (will be ready next year)
I work as project manager, just spent the entire week fighting a client on a new project’s scope, because he wanted more things done by the team than what was agreed in the proposal.
Anytime I read about this game, I have to do breathing excercises in a corner to calm my anxiety.
Looking at Israel, the “don’t ask permission, ask forgiveness” strategy really works with the US (a good example is also Kursk attack, Nord Stream 2 or Kerch bridge sabotage). They should just be doing crazy shit, forcing escalation on Russian side, and thus in response by the US/NATO. Of course this is a delicate balance, but a few nukes on paper I think would still be okay.
These could guarantee the existence of their nation in the future, and unless they use them on a Russian city, no repercussions would happen beyond verbal saber rattling just for having it. Russia would definitely shit themselves and dial back on the agression.

Playstation 5 Pro coming in November: $700/€800, 2TB, no disc drive, no vertical stand
Features including GPU upgrade, advanced ray tracing, and PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution take players to new heights.
Managed to grab a PS Portal yesterday, and it's performing better than I expected
I was debating if I want to buy one, but after trying that remote play worked well with a tablet on my home wifi, I took a leap of faith and ordered one of the last ones nearby. Picked it up yesterday.
Key points:
-Very satisfied with the performance so far, no noticable lag on home wifi. Finished Spider-Man 2 and beat the final boss on it, also tried some shooters, no issues with lag in single player games on my 500 Mbit network (meaning: maybe a partial second of stutter every 5-10 mins).
-So much smoother experience than using e.g. my tablet with a controller. Just pick it up, press 2 buttons, and you can play in a few seconds.
-The screen is also better than expected. 8 inches is super big for a handheld, around the size of the iPad mini. Very immersive, when playing. Colors are also great, and I’m saying that as an owner of an LG OLED TV. Of course an OLED screen would have been probably better, but also more expensive, and the resolution is still better than most handhelds giving us a great picture.
-The controller grips are very comfortable for even a longer session. The haptic feedback and trigger resistance feels just like the controller we are used to.
-The missing BT is annoying if you have a good headset (I don’t), but I understand the concerns with delay, though I have no personal experience on that.
-The only time connection became bad, is when downloading a game/update on my PS5 while playing, it even completely dropped once. Very annoying if you want to run an update in the background, but also not a dealbreaker, you can just run updates in rest mode.
-The price is fine, payed 219 EUR for it. I would like it a bit lower, but still okay with it (understanding the privilege that I can waste this money on something that is far from a necessity). I would not want to pay the price of a “proper” handheld for a controller with a screen.
Thank you Steve Huffman for curing my reddit addiction!
I stopped using reddit when Apollo went down, and 2-3 hours of scrolling and active posting in some niche subs turned into ~30 mins of Lemmy per day, which I find much more healthy.
I didn’t start doing yoga, painting, or a side business, just feel much better having cut back the last big pillar of my social media addiction.
So thanks Steve!
