due to the way causality works it would be pretty difficult to tell a story in any genre where someone’s opportunities in life are not strongly correlated to circumstances from their past that are outside of their control (like their birth)

And he’s right! It might not be as good as the games that came before it or after it but that bar is so high that it can still be a great game despite it

“I CASt pissed off angel that’s going to whoop your ass”

here I was thinking op was talking about the 9th level spell that can summon an extraplanar ally. the CAS of D&D

we’re all forced to work within the system, normies do so without questioning it

yeah this is exactly how it works for “self-driving” cars: https://gmauthority.com/blog/2023/11/cruise-av-operations-require-1-5-remote-employees-per-vehicle-report-claims/

Hard to tell the logo from the low res but it’s because it’s using playstation’s streaming game service.

Well, when a man and a woman love each other very much… they can visit each other in the hospital when they’re sick. For example.

I bought a PS5 so I could play PS4 games without having a jet engine in my living room and it’s absolutely fantastic for that. Also Demon’s Souls was very pretty and faithful to the original, very fun to get the platinum. Returnal was ok too.

This isn’t that complicated. Imagine what would have happened in Iraq or Afghanistan if the president was an intelligence asset they had cultivated for decades. Not to mention tons of senators, represntatives, and influential NGOs like the NRA. Also all those social media psyops that are disappointingly effective at sowing division in the US.

Russia has an incredible amount of influence in the US and is still getting wolloped, although not nearly as much or as quickly as they should/could be.

You get little guys like this in Carrier Command 2. Except they’re amphibious too!

“hey guys check out my photorealistic remake of the mona lisa”

Boost this one to the top, it’s the official reason given by sony. You can disparage it if you want, but it has technical merit. The audio codecs supported by mainstream bluetooth devices are meant for music, where you want the highest possible quality and can tolerate a slight delay between when you press play and when the music actually starts.

In video games this means you get a noticable delay on the audio. With classic video file playback like a movie, this can be compensated for by delaying the visuals so thay match up with the audio, but delaying the visuals in a video game is an even worse experience for the player.

Sony’s use of a proprietary audio codec via their wireless controllers is pretty justified. They’re able to optimize for latency and it shows (or rather, it doesn’t, since you probably would never notice it).

if only any of the problems that caused the civil war had been solved since then :(

yeah
