I’m still hanging out enjoying Balatro and WoW: Cataclysm Classic this week, but I’ve also decided to take gran turismo 5 for a spin. Genuinely great game, I’m glad I was able to find a copy.

I think it has more to do with the 117 million units the ps4 has sold, making the console more accessible
The PS4 and Xbox One came out a decade ago. The PS5 and Xbox Series X came out 4 years ago. What are you talking about?
Wow! Opinion pieces! It’s not like every newspaper for the past 50 years has had these!
Ehhhh my friends told me they prefer indigenous or native. To many, “Indian” is a slur.
I mean I’m a senior engineer and I mostly handle escalations and high priority client issues, but my work is mostly break/fix
Honestly, my argument that new and old games are both good would be to point straight at the Ratchet & Clank series.
In my opinion, it’s only gotten better with time, and the latest entry in the Series from 2021 is genuinely one of the greatest games I’ve ever played. It’s modern, cutting-edge, requiring a PCIe Gen4 SSD and a DualSense controller for the best experience. It’s just fantastic. New games, even AAA games, can be great so long as the project is being led by people who know how to make good games.
It’s not a controversial take, but survivorship bias is certainly strong with anything like this. People like classic rock because the bad songs from that era have faded into obscurity. The same goes for your favorite retro games; for every Ocarina of Time there was a Superman 64. For every Zelda there were 3 shitty LJN games.
The type of trash is just different. Instead of low-effort cash grab games, now we get high-effort overworked devs making a game that asks you to pay for it over and over again.
I’ve been playing Balatro and No Man’s Sky.
I actually picked up a ps3 slim and a decent handful of physical games. You can still buy digital ps3 games too on the console itself
It’s not dumb at all, no need to downplay your passion. Loud and proud I say!!
My favorite is the PS3. Something about its design and library just speaks to me.
The only good new mobile games are on Apple Arcade, which is behind a paywall. It sucks but what can ya do.
Yeah those do exist but they tend to be the exception and not the rule. And anyone working minimum wage is gonna avoid using it because they’re close to starvation a lot of the time. I’ve been there
There’s a difference between being rich and “not struggling”.
If you can afford to contribute to a retirement account, you’re probably not struggling to make ends meet. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I feel like most people do not, in fact, watch stock tickers and that most people do actually pay close attention to their ability to make ends meet shrinking by the month.
I didn’t know that site worked for Twitter. I’ve just been using Nitter.
Thanks for additional context. I don’t open Twitter links anymore because 3/4 of the time the link doesn’t work after Musk made changes
Because the developers tweeted about it today
Same exact thing happened to Bally Williams :-(
