Just call them weird. That'll work, right?

Right?

Gamecube.

2nd would be PS Vita (original OLED version).

The PS5 is probably my most hated look and shape. Just an idiotic and clunky design, and moronic decisions to go white.

I have seen this progress so much over the last decade in Steam discussion forums for so many games. Most comments have devolved into whining entitled p.o.s. negativity. What people didn't get from an update, or what isn't fixed. They don't care about what IS there, or what it took to get there. One thing is bad or missing so they'll gladly comment the entire thing is shit. Just insane. Short, rude tone, sometimes evil remarks from the armchair jackass who thinks they know better about game development, and displays how if their partner had 1 flaw, they'd throw them in a dumpster.

Especially when you see recent stats like 20% of all European developers laid off in the last year. The corporate side of the industry is bad enough that it's amazing we get good games eith good artistic ideas in them at all. So many goodnideas that make games good are passion from developers, not the corporate side of it. Not the project managers. Not the idiotic st9ck watchers. No it's the developers and artists and writers and actors doing the grunt work for a job with too much crunch that would gladly dump them 5 minutes post-release. The last thing they need is nitpicking every tiny fucking little flaw to shreds for games which are often very enjoyable and well done for their prices.

The CEO making shitty decisions doesn't read the comments, but I guarantee you the passionate developer who put their life and art into it might see some of them.

But this isn't just gaming. Society is chock full of entitled whining little dirt bags. This is why my circle of friends and family is very small, and focused on quality. I can walk down the street and it don't take long before I see or hear something that I can associate with blatant hatefulness.

So many people don't know what "being content" means, nor "constructive criticism," nor sympathy, empathy, or compassion.

It is amazing what choices we have today for gaming. Value it and enjoy while you can.

90s kids were born in the 80s. People always get this shit wrong.

They renamed themselves the Scouts and let in girls. Maybe that's why? These people are insane and evil, so honestly it doesn't matter why.

I 100% the PS3 one plus DLC. I then 100% the remake plus the new DLC on PS4. I love the game. It's just fun. It has flaws, but I like the flaws.

I'll probably do it a 3rd time eventually on Steam Deck.

A lot of Ys games. Certain Metal Gear games in a way have NG+ with carryover stuff.

More games need a solid NG+ that feels fun and rewarding.

How Keynesian.

It's nice to see, but just some initial fooling around leaves more to be desired. There's basic ease of use things that other recording systems have had for years that it seems to lack. Such as a quick and easy way to just say "save the last x minutes."

No, you can either record far more than necessary and drop pins for later, or you can specify when to start and stop (as if you know when somethings coming up), or apparently grab only the last 10 seconds in a quick clip.

I prefer to save recent funny things, but sometimes they are varying time lengths. So it's a tad disappointing, but it's pretty cool for a start.

Also it's already crashed my Steam Deck once within like 10 minutes of fooling around with it.

I deleted them all back around 2015. Only use this, and not seriously.

I'm gonna bet there are huge portions of the world that don't give a shit and won't hardly notice or care.

 

Ys I Chronicles on Steam Deck. A (very important to the lore) woman that the main character rescues is fainting because she had to walk all the way back to town. What a monster he is to not carry her the entire way! Haha.

 

Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana on Vita. Getting ready for a Gendarme mountaintop boss fight.

 

PS Vita game Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana. This is early into the game when you find your first castaway. Adol stumbled on her bathing in the stream.

I personally always loved the Vita graphics and the feel of the handheld, so I prefer this version of the game.

 
 

Is there a good community for sharing funny or ridiculous threads of lemmy comments and conversations?

 

The only Bean you need.

 
 

It's an experience to be taken seriously.
