that most real, non childish adults don’t care for?

You are simply making things up. The reboot sold incredibly well, about 5 times more than the originals in fact, and received universal acclaim. People have grown up with the character and were happy to see that evolution. The original creator and you have become out of touch with the reality of this franchise.

Your expectation for things to never evolve and grow says more about you than you seem to want to face. But the same as you think that there are plenty of games that fill the void of deep narrative action games, I can say there are plenty of basic hack and slash games to go around, just go enjoy another one.

David Jaffe is unhappy that his generic revenge puddle of spit character has actually grown in depth and is truly interesting now.

Let’s imagine we have massive departments for each one of those, like 300 people average for each of your example areas. For me it’s insane just thinking about it considering what the product actually is. I’m still left with 7200 people unaccounted for.

What do you mean? What happened? Which Google product?

Something that I don’t quite understand about Spotify is why they had the amount of employees that they did in the first place. What were 9000 people doing for work on a music playing and recommendation website. I know they used to be highly innovative and disruptive a long time ago, but has that been the case in recent years? How were 9k people contributing to this already established web music app?

This exists in Sync for Lemmy. I couldn’t live without it tbh.

Sorry I meant steam link is launched on quest. So you can connect wireless with the quest headsets. At least on Windows, not sure how well that works on Linux.

Now that steam link is launched and working well, it should be a good option?

Depends if the weather is decent or not, but grilling stuff and spending time with family in nature is common where I’m from.

It’s a public holiday and everyone spends it in their own way. People go to picnics, visit family or just chill at home. There’s parades as well in most bigger cities.

Spain is sending aid to country that is defending itself against an agresor.

What the fuck is up with the comments in this post?

One is mildly corrupt, the other is a mass murderer. The comparison is ridiculous.

I’ll try it but honestly at this point I don’t see any hope for it anymore, when the difference between the name Karolina and Carolina is enough to confuse it. Like, I give it first and last name and it says it can’t find it even though it heard the name just fine but decided its written with a C instead of a K, so it doesn’t exist in my contacts.

Every time I try anything other than the most basic things, like setting a timer, it just fails miserably. It would be so useful for hands free operation in the car but even things like calling or navigating are broken beyond belief.

The older I get the less I care about endless gameplay loops and carrot on a stick mechanics. A good story keeps me invested and caring about what happens on the screen. Games like God of War, Last of us, Witcher are gold standards when it comes to this. They are not movies on rails, they are engaging and interactive experiences like you can’t find anywhere else and for this I will always love these types of games more than any other medium.

Edit: OP literally mentioned these games as examples lower down in the thread.

They were so fucking elitist in the past it was hard for anyone else to enjoy themselves because they did not fit the mold of tRuE gamers.

Lately I seem to be collecting unfinished games. The very last game I finished was Cyberpunk 2077 and that was a few months ago, on patch 1.6 I think. I absolutely loved it and I’m definitely planning to buy the dlc and go through it again. I’m a sucker for good story and interactive experiences, couple that with the cyberpunk genre, this was the game of this year for me, no doubt.

Amen to this. OP if you focused on career and income by this point maybe you have some spare money to use on a personal fitness coach. They will help guide and motivate you which long term should help with all manner of issues you might be dealing with, from mental to health. Good luck. You can do it!

Totally agree with this although it’s a uniquely an american problem. In my neck of the woods, cars are more sensible and I would still say there’s a lot more room for improvement, both in what people are alowed to take on the roads and public transportation options.

But the circlejerk that is fuckcars makes even the people driving the Renault Twizy seem like monsters.

The fuckcars community has their nose so far up their ass, they think any kind of personal transportation is the devils spawn and no amount of improvents will fix that. In their eyes, everyone should be forced to live in dense urban environments and ride some kind of shared public transportation everywhere.

There are good talking points in their propaganda, for sure, but just like everything today, the echo chamber is so strong, they are now extremists on the matter.
