Oh no. They gave the task of remastering 3 big games running on old ass software full of hacked together code, within like 2-3 years, to a tiny studio of like 20 people that only ever made mobile games before. It was set up to fail. It’s like asking your crackhead cousin to redo your bathroom and you come home to find he’s ripped out all the copper pipes for beer money.

At least they’ve seen to have learned their lesson. The much smaller task of doing a basic port for RDR1 for Playstation and Switch was given to an actually decent sized development studio (Double Eleven). Lot of people got mad it wasn’t a remaster or something, but it is a perfectly fine port and you get the full RDR1 experience on a Switch

It’s more like Brian in 2F2F, although I guess a pimped Skyline isn’t much of a sleeper

They want to drive traffic to their pages so they can make ad and sponsor money

How would I know? I didn’t make the post. What if they based it off of a very specific day where a lot of people got shot?

Oh, yes, 1 in 400 is still the wrong proportion, but I guess you can’t say a quarter of a person is shot every 8 months or whatever it would be, if you’re just trying to make a quick and concise point.

Shot doesn’t mean dead and one person can receive multiple gunshot wounds in a year.

How did you get that from that? You said it sucks for entertainment, I said it doesn’t and you get from that that I can’t fathom not being on YouTube 24/7?

That sounds like a you problem, honestly. Tons of great channels out there for basically any interest. Do you just, like, only ever look at the front page without logging in? Like just at the absolute lowest common denominator clickbait stuff?

Infomercials are incredibly entertaining TV and I will stand by that statement

That’s the point, though. He’s correcting himself for children, but he corrects the wrong part.

Somewhere in the George W Bush?

Maybe “more powerful” would be the better term

The PS3 actually ended up outselling the 360 slightly. Like, very slightly. Couple 100k units or so. It’s probably the most balanced console generation in terms of sales.

Then Microsoft launched the Xbox One and Sony wiped the floor with them.

Honestly, if Sony just only added half as much shit to the PS3, like skip all those card readers god damn, they probably could’ve gotten away with being slightly more expensive than the 360. I mean, the 360 on launch didn’t have an HDMI port, didn’t have WiFi, none of the 360s come with a Blu-ray player (when movies just started being sold on Blu-ray and being a DVD player was one of the reasons the PS2 sold so damn well), you had to pay for multiplayer (I think that was in at launch, right?) and the console itself just kept bricking. Like, on a consumer side technical level, the only thing it had going for it was the controller. But, give it a year headstart and make it cheaper than the competition and that shit stops mattering for quite a while.

To be fair, stating the obvious, which she does quite a lot, is also quite advantageous. Like, sure, that Klingon Captain seems angry and insulted, but what if he’s just a really good actor trying to deceive a Federation ship? When Troi goes “Yup, he’s angry and insulted” that would basically be the go ahead to assume he’s telling the truth and act accordingly.

But TNG writers usually only seemed to remember there was an empath on the bridge at the last second, so they just wrote in she can’t sense anything

The Rules of Acquisition give more helpful advice than Troi

Same, turning 25 in a month, still no car

Primarily because I’m very fucking poor and just getting the license costs over 2000€ already

They all repost to each other anyway. Some creators will just post directly to several of them, but there’s also entire content factories designed around stealing other peoples creative works and reposting them on a different platform.

I was on reddit a couple times past couple of days for some specific purposes (like looking up Minecraft seeds). Checked the front page and stuff out of curiosity and I genuinely don’t know if the content was already as bad when I left or if Lemmy just gave me new standards or something, but Jesus Christ. It’s all just ragebait and TikTok reposts, even though everyone on reddit always claims to hate TikTok. It’s like if you collected all the lowest tier posts from every other site and then gathered them in one.
