I played it on PC. Highly recommend.

Look mate, not everything you don’t personally like is “slop”.

Gotta be honest, I don’t love the notion of reposting other people’s personal photos without their knowledge. I fully understand they (presumably) uploaded them themselves at first to the public internet, but it still feels icky to me.

It’s the spiritual successor to the True Crime series, which is like anti GTA lol.

As of this comment, you had a couple downvotes, and I just want to point out how absurd it is to downvote someone who… Is literally just participating in the conversation prompted by OP.
- Comment on Do you consider GTA VI overpriced? 4 days ago:
Could you elaborate on why you think it shouldn’t cost that much?
Also, just to be clear, I am not planning to buy it at full price, at release, or maybe even ever.
- Comment on PSBLACKOUT (boycott of PlayStation) 5 days ago:
Yes, there are some games that cannot be paid without internet. You’ll note that I never claimed otherwise.
Those game publishers should rightfully be called out and shamed.
What remains true is that the vast majority of games released on disc are playable without any internet at all. Discs are by no means “materially useless” in 2026.
- Comment on PSBLACKOUT (boycott of PlayStation) 5 days ago:
Assuming you are speaking about 2018 God of War, you are mistaken.
The vast majority of games on disc play without any internet connection.
- Comment on PSBLACKOUT (boycott of PlayStation) 5 days ago:
The overwhelming majority of playstation games are contained in disc and playable without internet.
We can argue about what “fully on disc” means in regards to day one patches and whatnot, but you don’t need those to play the game. Buy a disc, place it into an offline ps5, install it, and play.
And you’ll be able to do that in twenty or thirty years when they bring their digital purchase servers offline, too.

I can’t believe out of all the comments there’s so few mentions of Locoroco. It was soooo good!
- Comment on 1 week ago:
It’s very highly regarded, but I honestly didn’t enjoy it a ton. One thing that it does do quite well is its characters, which I think it also frankly one of the strongest aspects of the source material.
The gameplay was super mid to me though, leaning on not fun. Like, I don’t think I would have played it if not for a few mods on PC that I considered damn near necessary for my enjoyment.
Oh, another thing it did really well was its urban centers. I love me a big city in a video game, and Witcher 3 does have one of the best I’ve seen.

What difference are you thinking of? Because I agree, there are differences. Nintendo does shitty things under the guise of enriching the shareholders. Valve does shitty things to enrich only Gabe.
- Comment on Only 7 PlayStation games have sold over 100,000 physical copies in the US this year, says analyst, as commenters demand discs without buying them 1 week ago:
It’s not rare. The majority of games released physically can still be installed and played without any internet connection.
- Comment on Nintendo Responds To Tariff Refunds Lawsuit, Tells Customers They "Got What They Bargained For" 1 week ago:
In addition to the other comment, the only reason their famous refund policy exists is because Australia made them do it. And I really cannot stress how shitty the loot box stance is. Gamers hate loot boxes by and large yet somehow largely give Valve a pass despite the fact they hugely popularized the concept in the gaming space.

This is true of all companies in a capitalist society. People love to shit on Nintendo but Sony, Microsoft, Valve, yes even your previous Gabe is not your friend.
(that’s a royal you btw, not calling out you specifically)
- Comment on Only 7 PlayStation games have sold over 100,000 physical copies in the US this year, says analyst, as commenters demand discs without buying them 1 week ago:
The vast majority of games can be put into a console without internet connection, installed, and played in part or in whole. Nothing the publisher decides to do can change that without coming into my house and taking my disc.
- Comment on Only 7 PlayStation games have sold over 100,000 physical copies in the US this year, says analyst, as commenters demand discs without buying them 1 week ago:
With the PS4 and PS5, I can’t think of a single game that works from the purchased disc.
I can’t think of a single game that doesn’t. I don’t believe you’ve truly tried to play a PS4 or PS5 game from disc with internet disconnected. I believe that, because you just casually have internet connection active, that update downloads occur and you are taking that as necessary.
Over 90% of PS4 and PS5 games do not require internet connection to play after installed from disc.

Wow. I played in the beta and for the first year and that was just not my experience with it.

What was a shit show about ESO? I understand it was pretty successful and still receives support. It didn’t even have a bumpy launch like FO76, afaik.

The formatting is less suspicious to me. I suspect that the emoji are meant to be like a bullet point list, each on their own line. Thing is, people me to Reddit or Lemmy often don’t realize that single line breaks don’t format here.
