@Swedish_Pagan66 @HlNOMARUSUMO Hasn’t this literally been possible since at least PS3?

@HlNOMARUSUMO Turn off your wifi and unplug your ethernet and try to play a digital game. Then go fuck yourself.

I can tell physical paladins are feeling backed into a corner, because they're digging up whatever bullshit they can at this point. Like Marvel Tokon not being supported in all countries, even though the internet mob caused this exact enforcement. During the Helldivers 2 PC login fiasco, activists said Sony should be sued for selling games in regions where PSN isn't supported. Sony complied with their demands by region-locking those countries to avoid lawsuits. Now those same activists are blaming Sony for the policy they bullied the company into adopting. 💀 Or bringing up how PlayStation will delete your account after 36 months of inactivity. Meanwhile other companies like Apple or Google delete your shit after 12 to 24 months. This is basic cybersecurity and data privacy compliance (like GDPR) to clear out abandoned, hackable accounts. Things are looking desperate. This is the equivalent of resorting to biting and eye gouging during a fight.

@KassLover1 it is very difficult to prevent stuff like this since without ruining the experience of the game. 2/2

@KassLover1 This is the dumbest thing I’ve seen in a while. But even using your fuckass logic, he specifically states that the game was made to take longer than 2 hours, but that a bunch of speedrunners found the game and raced through it in less than 2. If you’re making a short game 1/2

This is unironically my favorite part of the steam refund system because you, as a game designer, should absolutely be punished for making your game worth less than 2 hours of playtime.

@allie__voss Haven’t read a word of Dune literature, didn’t really jive with the movies on a first watch. Watched Dune: Prophecy, went back and was hooked. I do agree that all the Star Wars trilogies are ass though, but I enjoy their standalone movies and shows quite a bit!

So far the only cult series that was truly worth it was Lord of the Rings Everyone lied about Star Wars, you kinda had to be there for Harry Potter, and Dune is a bunch of people with sunk cost fallacy having read the books

@jondelarroz This is sort of like saying ”The Last Duel is a better historical fiction movie than Fellowship of The Ring”. No shit, one of them isn’t even part of the genre.

Project Hail Mary is better scifi than Star Wars.

@TheDMLair Didn’t realise you don’t use any rules to run your monsters. Guess they just act whenever you think they should, regardless of initiative, and do whatever crazy attacks you make up in the moment since they don’t have a statblock. Just say ”I don’t like morale rules” next time.

Yeah... morale rules are stupid. A GM shouldn't need rules to tell them how to roleplay their monsters.

@TheDMLair As a DM I don’t like running player characters, I usually just have them not be there, usually I can come up with some way to get them away from the situation at the start of the session, but if not, they are either gone or just don’t contribute anything to the situation.

What should you do when a D&D player misses a session? You've got three options: 1. Another player runs their character. 2. The DM runs their character. 3. The character simply isn't there. I've used all three over the years. I've found one of them is clearly the best choice. What do you think?

@TheEggman64 OBS! Still don’t want Xbox shutting them down, really hope all of these cancellation rumors are false.

@TheEggman64 I like pillars of eternity, grounded and the first outer worlds, but avowed was complete ass.

Shutting Obsidian would be like Sony shutting Insomniac. They’re the ones who worked out how to release quality games consistently.

@slcmof This might be the single dumbest thing I’ve seen tweeted on this platform. Do you live in a cave?

So is the gaming industry kinda just over now? We get a new GTA every 15 years and then CoD + sports games every year and that’s pretty much it? lol

@GameRoll_ x.com/thatretrowizar…

The PlayStation 6 will not have a disc drive. It will be an entirely digital console and I imagine that Xbox will follow suit. Game ownership will soon be a thing of the past. I’d say vote with your wallets but the reality is that it won’t matter. It’s a tragedy.

@Bosslogic The only reason to get a console is what the main reason has always been: exclusives. It used to be affordability, but that gets less and less true with each gen. Xbox doesn’t even have exclusives anymore so there’s really no reason to get one.

Yes.

@JaceAVinson That sucks, but unless the hack was due to a PlayStation leak you can prevent getting hacked fairly easily.

I haven’t mentioned this too much here, but recently I lost my PlayStation account and all my digital games to a hacker. But guess what? All my physical games are still sitting comfortably on my shelf. Your digital games are tied to an account, your physical games aren’t.

Holy fuck can people on my feed shut up about PlayStation discontinuing discs? Discs have not been used widely in the PC space for 15+ years. This is not the end of the world. Relax. And if you really don’t like it, get a PC.

@marvguy_ Ye daredevil not using the Kevlar cloth is stupid I agree. I just also think it’s stupid that someone as smart as Bruce Wayne, fighting a rogues gallery as dangerous as Batman’s as well as just armed individuals, would do so in a spandex suit.

@ThatRetroWizard It would make sense. They’re fucking superheroes. They can dodge or outsmart opponents. Armor doesn’t really matter since the writer can just write them raking damage. Daredevil literally canonized thing Kevlar lined cloth, yet he wears a bulky suit. They’re superheroes not swat.

I’ve said it a million times: if raimi’s suit didn’t work well in the 2000s, Spidey would currently be wearing a suit like this

@NikTek Physical media has not been widely used for PC in the last 15+ years. You’ll be fine.

> raise console prices > get rid of physical media -> you are here <- > raise game prices to $100 and beyond > completely remove the ability to share any digital games > buying new games will become an expensive hobby, but don't worry they'll definitely make a subscription tier for new games that come out > hardware will become pricier, the cheapest way to play is using cloud gaming services > offer a subscription that is reasonable at first > gradually raise subscription prices You will own nothing and be happy If we don't act about Sony's outrageous decision to stop physical media in 2028, gaming might be doomed

@osgamer74 I like them both. They each fit well into their respective worlds and movies.

God every time I see that stupid looking new suit I wanna punch and a random person walking by Lucky there is nobody around right now!!!!

@SynthPotato As a primarily PC gamer I welcome thee to the digital age.

Physical disc production ending in January 2028 for new games releasing on PlayStation consoles Physical gaming seems like its coming to an end officially for PlayStation. GTA 6 was the final blow 😞

@SynthPotato Pretty good list, but Skyrim over cyberpunk and kcd is CRIMINAL.

My top 10 favorite games of all time: 1. Red Dead Redemption 2 2. The Witcher 3 3. Skyrim 4. Kingdom Come 2 5. Cyberpunk 2077 6. God of War 7. GTA San Andreas 8. Assassin’s Creed 2 9. Resident Evil 4 10. Metal Gear Solid 4 Can you tell I like RPGs and open world games?
