    They seem to hate Naughty Dog ever since they made them play as a lesbian instead of a generic white guy.

    I do like to see those people triggered. I can see them being angry at rainbows for making the sky gay.

    Also, I hope I spend this game collecting so much 80s music that I feel like I’m back in Vice City.







  • I mean, major leaps are hard to come by in all hardware, not just console. Everything since about the PS2 has been slow and steady iterations. Major leaps each time seemed to be PS3 era upping the RAM dramatically, and PS4 era forcing games to be installed to HDD. This gen was SSDs with a sprinkling of RT.

    SSDs were a major one. The seek time on a traditional spinning HDD is about the same as latency on your internet connection halfway across the country. Boot a laptop on HDD now and it’s so slow you’ll think it’s broken.

    Ray Tracing has tried, but needs to be several orders of magnitude more powerful to realistically be able to replace traditional rendering at the quality levels gamers expect. So it’ll be just for a bit of reflections and nicer lighting here and there.

    I guess VRR/FreeSync/GSync is nice as well. Moving to that means games can run as fast as they are able on lower end hardware. There’s a world of difference between a 40-50fps VRR display and a 60fps display skipping frames.



  • I think a lot of stuff got adjusted when mobile became a thing.

    Instant message apps just got replaced with Whatsapp, Signal, etc.

    Monetisation is a huge problem. Nobody ever expected to make money off a wonky old webpage they made in HoTMetaL, or a MySpace page. Now everyone is on homogenised platforms, they’re quite happy to accept bucketloads of money to project whatever you have to say to the masses, and none of it is good. All the hate you see out there isn’t society. It’s money.
