Sure, could be. I used to not be able to watch movies because I’d be used to TV ads forcing a break every now and then. Took me a while but I couldn’t go back to ad-less YouTube, for example
So it begins.

Emulation of Bloodborne on PC seems to be moving forward. Pretty cool
I guess in a sense it does lead to competitors trying their best to compete and create better games than their contemporaries. In an ideal world, all games would be playable on all platforms, of course, but that’s just not realistic - either because of contracts or hardware limitations.
Or greed lol
A PC is something different and not really comparable to a console if all you’re interested in is a hassle-free, straightforward gaming experience. Economies of scale make it so that a PS5 is just plain better than any PC you could cook up for that price.
Plus, exclusives are a factor for console choice, sure, but I’d argue that the performance boost relative to PS4 models is worth the price. I can only speak for myself, obviously, but I’ve been really happy with my PS4 for these last four years.
It kind of dampens and cheapens the experience of using the console. The PS+ tab and the PS Store tab are, essentially, full of ads already but at least they’re contained to the two left-most tabs on the home menu. Sure, you usually don’t stick around too long after selecting a game to play or a streaming service to watch something off, but I’d rather not see more ads than needed when the current system already works well as is.
Don’t give them ideas, holy shit. Ads are already present in some sports games, though, afaik
To add to Pfifel’s comment, you can’t play the cats in this game but you can in Monster Hunter Generations and Generations Ultimate. Generations is stuck on the 3DS, Generations Ultimate is on the Switch. GU is basicslly like a best-of Monster Hunter that incorporates all the previous games in one form or another, either by including all the previous villages or a lot of OG monsters, and playing as a felyne is sorta like an additional weapon.
You have them as your companions and they help you on hunts by fighting alongside your hunter, setting traps, and doing other miscellaneous support moves, but they are playable by yourself too. The gameplay is pretty much the same just from the cat’s POV and a different moveset. Plus, the weapons aren’t as varied. Still lots of fun.
Here’s a video going over how they work in Generations: https://youtu.be/-JkNVpbfJKI?si=fhe3x9P19U6vpzrK
Might be a little confusing if you’re completely new to the series but still worth a watch, imo, since gaijin hunter makes really good tutorials overall
Out of curiosity, what do you do with all that storage? Can’t imagine I’d ever need that much personally
Well, not literally no money to be made but compared to reddit, I meant. But you’re absolutely right.
There’s currently (*comparatively) no money to be made with bots given Lemmy’s comparatively small size, I’d wager. Bots on Reddit are used to advertise and to push companies’ agendas. Lemmy’s too small for that
Right, that was a thing too
Yea that’s a valid point. Not really sure where to draw the line
Well yea, it’s another motivator for people to actively go against the Russian government in one way or another. The more discontent people are with the situation that’s been ongoing for 2+ years, the more likely something’s to happen, I’d wager
This debate had been brought up back when Atomic Heart was bound to be released. Many people argued back then that it’s fine buying the game since the dev team had completely relocated to Cyprus (very popular country for Russians to move to next to Kazakhstan and numerous European countries), thus not funding the Russian government through taxes.
However, given that the dev team still lives in Russia this time, there’s not much to debate. The figures the author mentions check out and there’s no other way to put it, really, that gamers are, in part at least, funding Russia.
Sure, the company might have opposing views to Russia, but firstly, they haven’t moved to a different country, which is at least a little concerning, and secondly, are a legal entity in Russia, so they pay them regardless of motivation.
I was trying to think of something before clicking on the post and money was literally the first and only thing I came up with
Notes app maybe? Then in a year or so you stumble upon your notes and are all confused because you didn’t write down any context for your thoughts
Yea, US
LeafGreen was sorta the first Pokemon game I’ve played. I played Silver on my brother’s GBC but didn’t get if because I was too little. Then he installed an emulator and LeafGreen on my PC and I was a happy camper
