Wait why are they requiring PSN account for a steam game?
Either way, I hate this trend of having to sign up for an account to something you wouldn't otherwise have just to play a game. Somebody needs to squash this shit quick.

Eh...yes they do. While stupid is as stupid does, straight fucking lying about your product is a no no, I don't care how fucking dumb your audience is.
Literally fraud my dude and your cool with it cuz some goofs might get pwned? Can't say I'm about it.
It's really weird to me to be OK with a multimillion dollar company lying, cheating, and stealing because you don't like the people who bought the product.
Believing those people shouldnt get their money back isnt the same as thinking it's ok that Razer did this or saying they should get to keep it. Razer should donate the proceeds and the fine to charity.

While I get where you are coming from, they aren't being sued over the lights, they are being sued over false advertising of the effects of their product.
They should get away with lying about their product?
I know. I'm just saying that anyone spending $100 on a mask, useful or not, that even at the height of Covid you could get for a few bucks is foolishness and those people do t deserve to get their money back even if what Razer did was bad.

I think Razer should be allowed to keep the money. If you can get idiots to fork over $100 for a $3 mask with lights on it, they don't deserve to get that money back.

I just decided to click on that second tweet and look through some of the comments and saw this and...I just......
.....Why would there have to be....an Africa in a fictional fantasy world....for there to be black people? Like...the sheer amount of...Let's change some words in this quote to hear how dumb this is. "Last I checked there's no Japan in Suikoden but yes let's put IRL in a fantasy game" "Last I checked there's no Spain in Suikoden but yes lets put IRL in a fantasy game" etc...
It's honestly pretty disappointing to me that imagination seems to have been the biggest casualty of the Internet age. Video games give us the opportunity to enter worlds nothing like our own or that transcend ours in a lot of ways and step into the shoes of characters that aren't like us, and yet all some people can do is ask why these worlds aren't more like the real world.

I got to play in an online 5 Special tournament yesterday, the first I think I've done since 2018 and went 2-2 which isn't bad considering I've only really been back playing the game for about a week now.
If anyone plays or wants to even learn the game, I say let's give it a go. I've decided to learn Ukyo, so I'm in noob territory again. I actually started out as an Ukyo "main" when I first started playing (and didn't know what I was doing lol) but gravitated to Amakusa for whatever reason. a
I came back deciding to play Kazuki since I play him in 2019 but he's different 5Sp and not as much fun as Ukyo is.
Either way, we should get another lobby going sometime soon.

So its essentially goofy pearl clutching. Because it isn't like we're in some weird hentai world. There have been a lot of great female characters that are dressed. There's also a hilairously amount of questionable dressed characters that are beloved. WE gonna pretend we don't live in a post Bayonetta/Kill La Kill/w/e fucking armor broads were wearing in WoW? If you don't want fanservice in games, there are a lot of fucking alternatives out there.
You're right, but the people writing these pieces are overwhelmingly English major/ perpetually online types whose heads have been filled by pseudo-feminist BS who are mining power for themselves by being able to dictate to everyone else, on their terms, the difference between the characters that are "problematic" and the one that are "safe."
Bayonetta is beloved by gays, therefore she's safe. Eve is a character that, at least at this point, straight (and particularly white) guys like, so she's "problematic." Anything straight men like is a problem to these types of people, although if the same design appeals to gays or women, then it's fine. The whole thing looks like a big journalistic power grab from where I'm sitting. They're all just saying "it's only a problem if we say it's a problem."

its crazy that homelessness is a business. just like jail.
The people "solving" the problem are making boatloads of money, so there's less incentive to actually solve it. It's like all these endless "wars." There's less incentive to try to find a peaceful solution when defense companies stand to make billions from them.

Went down the youtube rabbit hole. This shit's wild:
Alex Botez was the first person I ever heard called a "chess entertainer." She and her sister are definitely entertaining and both their chesscom bots beat me handily so I have nothing to say lol

I actually tried playing through it late last year via emulation and I gave up, and it was right after finishing an LOI run on the same Emulator. It was boring. The similar looking areas do suck a lot of the joy out of exploration, and I actually think the combat was worse. Hector felt to me a lot more stiff and clunky compared to Leon and most of the enemies i fought either weren't very aggressive or they were flying and annoying to fight. The few bosses I fought weren't much fun either.
Maybe it gets better later on, I don't actually remember, but LOIs areas where small enough that by the time you where tired of them they where over. The rooms may have been boxes and hallways but they where small and short and kept the combat contained most of the time where as Curse had hallways that just never ended.
Oh and I think all of LOIs bosses are good to really good (none are quite great tho) while what i fought in Curse was very nothing special. I may need to give it more time I don't remember, but I'd rather play something else anyway.
Yeah I only actually beat the game once. I started a few other times but never finished them because I just got so bored. It's such a shame because the ID thing was cool and the steal system was actually a really great idea, and the combat isn't too bad, it's just not as flashy as LoI's is. Some of the weapons you get have cool movesets although they aren't DMC levels of deep.
The thing that chapped my ass about the game was that there were hallways and rooms with NOTHING In them. No items, no enemies, no set pieces, nothing. It was like they weren't really supposed to be there in the first place and we're added last minute after it was too late to really do anything with them.
Trevor mode was kinda cool too, but again, I just never had the gumption to make it all the way through.
Lament would have been a top 10 CV game if the level design were fixed though. That game did pretty much everything right except for that.

I had someone on Reddit reply to a 3 year old (!) post I made about emulating Curse of Darkness vs actually buying it because it's not all that good and he couldn't believe I was saying that. He didn't believe that it was a common complaint of the game to have bloated garbage-y levels.
That game really is a shame. It had a lot of good things going for it but they took the one complaint everyone has about Lament and made it 10 times worse.

As I have grown older, I prefer the whole season drop va week to week. Why? Because It's easier to watch at a pace I prefer. I feel there's more to discuss woth more context vs the week to week.
Having said that, I can tolerate either way.
I stopped watching Shogun til the whole season is dropped. I can't do the week to week thing anymore, it's not like it's the 70s.

This isn't controversial, people say this all the time. The controversial opinion is that Pho is over rated as fuck. I've had it a few times and it's fine. The way people rant about it is insane tho, it's not nearly that good lol. I would rather have Ramen lol.
Reminds when I had my first In & Out burger and all I could think was "This is it?"
Vietnamese is the one food I absolutely can't get into. Maybe I've just never had the right stuff but I don't understand why people seem to love it so much.

Yes it reeks of another scam run at the collectors market.
It's been awhile since I've unwrapped a new NES cart, but couldn't that kind of thing be faked?
I went and checked eBay and as of Wednesday there was another one up there going for $10k and had a bunch of people watching it. Non-esit-edit: now it's up to $15k
And someone's selling the BOX ONLY to Simon's Quest for $100. Who tf are these degenerates?

Okay, I want to make sure I'm not in The Twilight Zone or something. I keep seeing story's and videos about "Natasha Ramos claiming" to have sang Jenny From Block and people being shocked. I know for a fact that this all came out more than decade ago. Did I miss something?
She apparently did the reference lead vocal and BGV arrangement vocals (that they probably left in because JLo is shitty singer and it probably helped pad out the mix a bit and was cheaper and easier than trying to get JLo to re-sing all of it)
That sort of thing has been going on for a long time though. That protege girl group Rick James had called the Mary Jane Girls apparently used to do some vocal pinch hitting on Paula Abdul's records for the same reason.
25 minutes ago, Darc_Requiem said:I did the same thing with Bobby Caldwell when he passed away. I watched a bunch of people watch his "What You Won't Do For Love" video and flip out when sings "I came back to let you know" stands up from the bench and you see he's white. One dude actually stopped the video and called his mom on his cellphone to ask her about it. 🤣🤣🤣
Rick Astley is another one. When "Never Gonna Give You Up" first came out, it got a lot of play on black R&B stations because the single was just a vinyl with a white label and no picture or anything. Course once they found out he was a ginger I think the airplay on those stations tapered off lol

Thread from 2003 about how much Steam sucks and will never succeed.
https://forums.unknownworlds.com/discussion/46976/official-steam-sucks-thread
This might be unpopular, but I think Steam's success has been a net negative for gaming given that they're a defacto monopoly and that they normalized internet-as-delivery-method and non-physical games.

With how many day 1 patches there are it's kinda true.....
It kinda defeats the purpose of buying physical if the version of the game that ships physically is outdated before it's even released.

The part that cracked me up about that tweet is how eager a lot of PC folk are to lick Valve/Steam's boots. Like peak lack of self awareness
