My friends who grew up outside Oz find it weird that to me “it ain’t Christmas unless it’s scorching hot”. To me the idea of having a cold Christmas is the odd one.

Value is correct in this instance, I think.

The number of shares and the price people are willing to pay for those shares is how “value” is calculated, I think.

In contrast, “wealth” would be how much money they have in the bank.

I’ve had my eye on monster hunter: rise, so that’s a welcome addition. With the bump from new players I reckon it’ll be a good month to get into it.

Why not just have both a male and female voice, and ideally one that’s as neutral as possible?

Fingers crossed the effects mentioned in the Chronos fight fixes an issue I had the other day - I was having a really good run with a strong build, but after the transition to phase 2 I was stuck in slow motion and stood no chance.

I’s often just carnal desire which results in the death of something to the tune of ~80 billion (with a “B”) animals every year that didn’t really need to be slaughtered.

I’m genuinely curious: what’s the vegans’ answer to the question of “what happens to the cattle and other livestock if everyone on the planet turned vegan tomorrow?”. It’s not like they can just be let loose…

Realistically the amount of livestock is not sustainable and they’d need to be culled in gargantuan numbers so that they don’t go from a “managed” ecological disaster to an “out of control” ecological disaster. And then you get the slaughter without the benefit of feeding billions of hungry people.

The “M” would be for mezzanine, which is usually either a floor that’s small or at an intermediate height between main floors.

Yarp.

Does it say when it’ll be coming to the service? I started this game on my PSP back in the day but never finished, so it would be good to be able to tick that off.

While it sounds cool in concept, I think not doing it was the right call - it could very easily have been another Suicide Squad anchor on a studio that delivers excellent single player games.

10 hours is a short game, but for a GaaS that’s basically over in a blink of an eye.

Maybe they thought people would be motivated enough to play through it 4x so they could experience all 4 characters, but I think that’s a bit silly of them if so.

While a successful live service can be a money printer for a developer, a failed one is a stone around the neck while they’re obligated to support it, and only decrease trust when they inevitably get shut down after a year or so.

Honestly, everyone scrambling for a piece of the GaaS pie has caused saturation and fatigue. People don’t have enough time and/or money to engage with all these games.

IMO, Sony would be better served by dialling back the budgets of their single player games if that’s the biggest factor, rather than chasing the GaaS white whale.

The Ratchet & Clank and Marvel’s Spider-man games are all super fun and have straight forward platinums that are wholly offline.

I play with the PS 3D headphones, and that mission was very immersive since you could hear just a bit. I thought it was a fun mission and very thought provoking of what the Deaf life experience is like.

I started Control the other day. All I knew going in was that it is kinda inspired by SCP and really good, and I have been blown away at the atmosphere of the game.

I got the platinum on the 26th and there was 7% of players with it at that time. It’s interesting to note that between then and now, an extra 3% of players have gotten the platinum (according to the PS App).

I do appreciate that Insomniac have platinums in their last few games that are very achievable - no arbitrary or onerous trophies. You can play, have fun, and usually be most of the way to the platinum with minimal fuss.

I got it in 26ish hours on my playthrough, and that wasn’t at any great rush.

I just finished playing through the section of the game where Pete is being affected by the symbiote. Holy hell, Yuri did an amazing job of selling his descent!

Currently powering through a replay of Spider-Man before the sequel comes out later this week. If I have time, I’d like to repay MM as well, but since I played that not too long ago, it’s less urgent.

Other than that, I’ve started my second BG3 run, but that’s on pause at the moment.

“Tinder Select Ultra Plus” tier membership, I’m guessing.
