That thumbnail is really not helping the movement. Really hope this goes through though.

The game is quite long for how limited the gameplay is. Combat had an interesting rhythm gimmick but it should have been a 5-6 hour, tight experience, not 10-12. It really outstayed its welcome for me given that the game is just combat arenas and cutscenes.

Apart from that combat could be broken by spamming companion abilities once you unlocked them all, it didn't feel like there was any reason to use different combos than 2 or 3 that worked fine.

I end up with the feeling that the hype around the game comes mainly from the unfair closure of a studio that did something that wasn't just following trends.

People hold the game up as an example of what's wrong with the cash grabbing nature of big publishers in the industry, but I just don't think it's a good game at all.

Is this article written by AI? Some long running, poorly phrased sentences here.

I'm not sure if there's another version of this song out there.

I'm a fan of summoning salt on YouTube and I am shocked that this particular song has so few listens and is released so late after videos using it came out. Seems that HOME produced this one.

But it's okay for Goldman Sachs to demand that their workers augment their tasks with AI? Either it's a tool that they are happy working with and incorporating into their business, or its not.

Amazing how slow development has been for their launcher. I don't know what is holding it back but the UI and lack of features seem like easy fixes for a company with those levels of resources.

With game pass popping off the last 18 months it seems like Xbox has really hit their stride as a publishing house. Admittedly they've largely done this by throwing billions upon billions of dollars to buy IP, but Expedition 33, Palworld, blue Prince and other hits popping off shows this hasn't exclusively been the case.

Meanwhile, Sony have had the most expensive flop in video game history with Concord, PSVR2 basically being DOA, and a perplexing pivot to chasing live service trends has meant that the system has missed out on several potential first party hits. Their subscription service pales comparatively to game pass, and there is very little of interest coming in the pipeline.

The PS5 has won this gen over Xbox in terms of sales, but I think customer confidence in their approach has dropped massively, at least for me.

Labor has stormed to victory in the federal election and Prime Minister Anthony Albanese will lead a majority government following a disastrous night for the Coalition and Peter Dutton.

At 8.24pm, less than half an hour after the final polls closed in Western Australia, 9News projected Labor had won the election.

Game prices for the past 30 years haven't kept pace with inflation.

I recognise the argument that publishers are shifting larger volumes of units now, which has been a factor that has allowed the industry to keep price increases below inflation for the last 30 years.

Wages not being even close to keeping up with inflation (especially housing inflation) is the real issue here, not the $70/$80 video game.

You should be angry at your reduced purchasing power in all of society, not just with the price of Nintendo games.

(Secondary less unpopular opinion, the best games out these days are multiplatform and released at least 5 years ago, buy them for << $80 and wait for sale the new releases, when they too are 5 years old)

I think a global boycott on US-made goods + services is necessary. Trump can only do this because the US is such a powerhouse.

15% in support or undecided of being part of the US is pretty high, surprising

I'd love to see it fail completely. I'm hoping that musk makes it a site that you have to pay a subscription to see anything at all on there so everyone can finally give up on it.

I think you could happily live your life not knowing who he is. I will say that he's a master at knowing what will make someone click on his videos.

Just wanted to shout out this piece of software.

I've been time poor lately and the ps5 has been gathering dust in my office. Streaming onto the deck has been a godsend, as I'm not tied into locking myself away from the family to play a game. Bit of a hassle to set up but so handy once it's been added as a non-steam game.

Your country is insane.

In any other democratic nation in the world, a politician saying this would be finished.

I hope for the sake of humanity that all the sane people in the US go out and tells everyone they know that cares about democracy and the rule of law what Trump is planning to do, especially in the swing states.

Even if you're not on social media, you'll probably still have a shadow profile on Google/Metas servers. My 13 month old baby has a library of images searchable in Google photos and a profile photo in the app. It's convenient, but incredibly creepy.

Just wondering what a rough split is of people using either Usenet, torrents, or both?

I've only just discovered Usenet and while it is paid, it is very cheap and much more convenient than torrents.

Using torrents as well with the *arr suite set up for my various Linux ISOs.

Seen a few times bazzite has been mentioned, but just have seen another user say they have OpenSUSE installed.

I'm not sure what the benefits of these options are, especially non-steamOS ISOs?

I see it referenced constantly here, not quite as much on Reddit. I know what it means, but just wondering why such the popularity over on this side of the fence?

Very excited (sopuli.xyz)

I really didn't think this was going to happen. Lemmy is missing an app at the level of boost for reddit.

If the UX is close to what BFR was, then this will really help with platform migration.
