  I bought it for like $5 and got like 30 hours of co-op with my buddies. Games at the arcade cost that much for a few minutes and aren’t nearly as fun as watching your friend fall to their death or get chased by the rapey as scoutmaster.

  Anybody complaining is a fool.

  Better to have an understanding and strong opinion than to just consume whatever the massive ethicless tech giant shovels into the trough.

  I won’t use it because it looks like shit, but to each their own.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We show you how NVIDIA RTX Remix can upgrade your classic games with Quake III - PAX East 2026⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It might with HD mods and ray tracing.

  He’s addicted to fortnight and is trying to argue there’s plenty of other games, he’s even played some. Unfortunately too much fortnight has left him unable to form proper thoughts and structure sentences.

  Listen guys fortnight may be fun but we’ve hit the point in capitalism where we all need to hold hands and shit on publishers who are making these cash grab games. They all need to fail so there’s less big money in the industry and we stop seeing them do this layoff shit and good devs can get back to making games instead of making Darth Vader dance with OJ Simpson.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨CW: Picture of a severe vaccine injury, NSFL⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I honestly believe the education system is more to blame than anything besides the anti vax people themselves. There’s so much nonsense pseudoscience posted online by uninformed and grifters, then their cult of stupidity fills the holes with comments that reinforce the legitimacy of their quackery. Even reasonable people get sucked down the rabbit hole.

  When my son was born my wife had been fed this bullshit and suggested delaying vaccination. I sat her down and was able to address her concerns and get her to understand the science and statistics so he stayed in the doctor’s recommended schedule but not everybody is going to have a spouse who cash reel then back in.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Human experimentation, one way or the other.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Listen pal, nobody is going to sift through a dozen research articles you dump without any citation.

  But just a cursory scan of the first article says .78/1000000 cases have the mentioned side effect and 1.2/1000000 have the other side effect. COVID mortality rate is something like 350x higher lol.

  It’s such a good game!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon owns nothing and is unhappy⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s already more amazing games than you or I could possibly play in a lifetime. If they only make shitty games, I’ll just play old games. I’ve been gaming on a retro handheld and honestly there’s so many amazing games I missed.

  Indy devs are also killing it in the multiplayer space with silly and charming co-op experiences. I played a lot of Peak and Motor Town with friends lately and both are just so fun.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Guess it’s just personal preference. I’m generally gaming on the train ride into work so I’ve got a solid 30 minute block to play and have space in my bag for a larger device. I’m also not usually looking to tinker with devices much post initial setup but can understand why someone would enjoy doing so. Thanks for answering, glhf.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I love a good handheld but am struggling to wrap my brain around when this device would be desirable to use or have around. I can’t think of a time I wouldn’t prefer something the size of an r36s especially with it’s far larger library of games.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sony is testing dynamic pricing: one game - different prices on the PlayStation Store⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It absolutely will be used in the most shitty predatory way. They’re not going to simply delete the data and most digital marketplaces are excited at the prospect of dynamic pricing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's all SO simple!⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I feel like you’ve got no idea what you’re talking about.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Xbox’s leadership shift proves it: the gamer era is over, AI runs the show now⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Would it even matter to a FIFA player though? The game’s mechanics are not that different from generation to generation and I think AI could decently simulate player stats and likeness. They’ll probably lap the slop up and ask for more.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘I think the franchise is dead’: Saints Row design director says IP owner ‘ghosted’ his prequel pitch | VGC⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Three was enjoyable, definitely had some shit moments but overall a fun game with absurd over the top moments left and right. Four on the other hand felt like it should’ve been a dlc for three, and was pretty awful.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Consumerism ahhhhh moment⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Sorry dude, you’re on lemmy. Nobody is here because it’s the easiest or best. Most of us are here because we’re the types who don’t like getting fucked over. I wholeheartedly agree that ads in and of themselves are annoying and fucking detest those Quiznos commercials but we’re the “weird” ones here. Most people loved those ads and Quiznos sold a ton of crappy sandwiches. Sadly advertising works on most people.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Video game romances need to evolve beyond lore dumps⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s genres of games that are supposed to be relationship sims and nothing else. The relationships and characters are still hollow and would only draw in the loneliest people.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Wheel That Went to Court (or, did you know Pixar sued DMA Design - who ended up becoming Rockstar North - because they made a game about a unicycle?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Agreed, I played it on my retro handheld a couple weeks ago and it still holds up alright. They manage to convey a lot of emotion through those little unicycles.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Performance enhancement⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Often when I’m stoned I enter the flow state easier. I can also get way more into my own head and not be able to get into the flow at all.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Start-up idea⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  This is true for some products but absolutely the opposite for many others. You can go buy a $500 jacket that will outlive you but good luck finding a car or fridge that won’t break, especially the high end models with all the bells and whistles. Samsung will happily sell you a $5k fridge that has dozens of features that will break and require servicing far more frequently than the $500 white apartment fridge.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The developers of PEAK, explaining how they decided on pricing for their game. ⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, I’m with you. There’s tons of games I’ve paid a lot more than $16 for that I would absolutely tell past me to buy again instantly. Most recently Kingdom Come Deliverance 2. $40 with all dlc and I’m over 100 hours in, enjoying every minute. Over 100 hours of entertainment from something that cost me less than an hour of labor, in what world is that not worth it?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The developers of PEAK, explaining how they decided on pricing for their game. ⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I got like 40 hours of playtime from Peak before taking a break. For $8 I’m very satisfied.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is Valve being sued for almost $900 million, but Epic Games wasn't sued when they bought Rocket League and Fall Guys to remove them from steam?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Some countries have huge taxes on entertainment while others have nearly none. I’d guess he moved to a county with a higher tax rate and Valve can’t just have people using a VPN to circumvent their local taxes. Valve is left without a way to determine where you were when you’d purchased the game so they geo lock the titles to where you purchased them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨in all fairness italian cuisine is a relatively recent invention⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  In Japan they consider curry a European dish, so you’re not really wrong.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨in all fairness italian cuisine is a relatively recent invention⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  But there’s literally breakfast sausages here in the US and like half of all breakfast sandwiches are sausage egg and cheese?

  Trying to categorize food is basically impossible.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hero shooter Highguard reportedly didn't even pay for the Game Awards slot that's earned it so much preemptive hate—the showrunners thought it deserved the spotlight⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I am totally done with live service games. 1200+ hours in Warframe and another 300 in helldivers. I have no interest in grinding out the same mission repeatedly to get that new armor again. It was fun the first time less so the second and I would rather play something new.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nintendo Switch 2 sales stumble over Christmas⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, some games actually have the data to install the game.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[meme] choochoo⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I live in the Seattle area and while this stuff isn’t free it’s under $10 to park and ride both ways. Trains run every 7 minutes and the train will take you maybe five minutes extra if there’s no traffic. If you’re coming or going from the stadiums it’s faster and cheaper than driving to one of the lots close to them. Trains are pretty clean too, it’s a pretty great rail line

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ARC Raiders - anyone else looting in their sleep?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I played for about 5 hours and was totally bored, the whole game is just the endgame.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Video Game Websites in the early 00s⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Just look at those sites, they’re hard to navigate, there’s no consistency between them, where are the ads?

  I’d still gladly have them over the bland, hard to navigate, soulless crap we get now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How does Chuck Schumer still have a job?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yet here we are, with some people believing vaccines cause autism and the far right extremists to boot. I personally would’ve taken more idiots harming themselves with their new age junk than what we got.

  Don’t misunderstand, I agree it absolutely wouldn’t have been a catch all and even in its time it lacked the teeth to do much but at least it was something. It combined with a stronger education system could’ve prevented a lot of what we’re dealing with now.
