Monster Hunter Rise and Ghost of Tsushima for me! Other than that, there are plenty that I enjoy but most of the wants I full on LOVE are pre-2020 like TitanFall 2, Hyrule Warriors, WarFrame etc. I do live GranBlue Fantasy are link as well but I don’t think that’ll make too many people’s lists, which is a shame because it’s an absolute masterpiece in my eyes. It plays like a 360 era game requiring no online connection, sporting a gorgeous art style and so many campaign moments that made me straight up shout “damn that was awesome”

Timed exclusive*

Thanks for the recommendation, I’ll look into it 🤔

I’m super torn between not wanting more Amazon in my life and wanting a convenient way to binge a lot of comics and manga

LMAO

I feel attacked (currently scrolling from the toilet)

I relate to that so hard though! I got 3 friends that I hand out with on a regular basis and 2 that keep some what in touch. I love them all like brothers (known them all for 20 years) and everyone else can kick rocks 😆

As a consumer and Linux user I want to agree that there should be more native support for games but from a realistic standpoint it just wouldn’t make sense. Even the Xbox having an estimated 20% of PlayStation’s sales has been enough for publishers and to slow down on support for that console. Linux makes an optimistic 3ish percent of consumer’s PC operating systems and doesn’t easily allow kernel level installs by games to support their anticheat measures. Again I would absolutely love to boot into Linux more often when I’m gaming but the numbers just aren’t there.

I agree mostly but ironically, I think the whole “cringe” thing is the darkest. It gives a get back in line* vibe (to me anyway) that’s been played out forever. Straying away from the norm should be encouraged or ignored if it’s not for you but openly insulting someone for it is pretty lame.

LMAO

That takes me back

It still makes me feel some type of way that Sony (a Japanese company) gets so much sway over US business and policies. It’s something I thought about a lot when Microsoft was trying to close its deal with Activision. I don’t care much either way about multi-billion dollar conglomerates (or trillions in Microsoft’s case) butting heads but it did strike me as odd that a foreign company had that much of a hold on the deal. I get that piracy of media is frowned upon but like the ISP’s are arguing here, the affects of cutting off access to their clientele would have a lot of negative impact. I once again sit here wondering why a foreign company should have that kind of power over American citizens… you know?

They offer text messaging as well yeah, but simpler devices are nice. I use my smartphone most when I’m at work, bored in the break from (like right now) but outside of that I just usually have better things to do. I often leave my phone at home in favor of my smart watch which does a lot less but still has my music on it and a way for the wife to contact me which are the 2 main things I value. I’m just saying that even it’s not for the majority, 2 way pagers would likely have a place in the market. There’s a whole group of people these days that love shopping for dumb phones to cut distractions out of their days.

I still have the physical copy of this lol. Sold my vita but I do still have my pstv

Beeper king ftw

I think I’d like a 2-way pager these days. They were a little ahead of their time because me and most people preferred phone calls to sending text messages but that’s obviously flipped hard over the last decade. I straight up groan when someone has the audacity to call me now lol

I’ll admit that I'm skeptical but since I could not get my friends to start using signal after about a year of poking at them I do appreciate it 🤔

Dang I forgot about that one. I played a few rounds when it was new but my COD days are behind me. It wasnt great or terrible

Most people that I’ve spoken to don’t mention the price. They usually talk about how they just don’t know how to get games in the first place and start talking about settings and updates that they always hear about. That being said, I still don’t know like I said lol. I’m just curious and want to see how it goes.

900 to 1200’s an insane guess. This many years out R&D’s sure to have chilled out and companies that buy parts by the millions get them at much lower prices than individuals, plus partner companies that kit out their facilities to manufacture those parts recoup their investments in those facilities over time as well. I’m sure Sony’s still taking a few bucks hit on the sale of a console but it’s nowhere near close to double.
