The thing I hate is that around the 3DS Pokemon also became more focused on catering to kids and railroading everything.

I’m curious if the newer games still appeal to kids. Growing up most of my wonder came from the things that were hidden and discovering them for myself from friends and guides.

it’s ok, just get the denoiser in there 🙂

the technology just isn’t there 😔

It also feels like it sells the power of the system far better than their future interfaces.

The particles in the background that subtly interact with how you move the UI and just how perfectly crisp everything is rendered looks way more expensive than the mess they made for the 4 & 5.

I was cool with it for Tetris Effect as its own unique aesthetic, but not really a fan of it becoming a "house style."

The specs seem to imply it being around $500 USD or so. It's a little weaker than a base PS5 so they should be able to target a similar MSRP.

oh man it’s like 1000x more insane in ares lmfao

they turned bc place into “encom place,” light cycle slice cop cars and akira slide on the cambie bridge, and jared leto completely rips it on the alex fraser to somehow get from north van to downtown

I tried to grab this texture from the GOG version of Kiwami 1 using Nsight, but they "fixed" the texture there too!!

a large room similar to a firing range rather than a benchmark cause those 60 second benchmark runs take forever to reset to get to the spot you want to test.

stg every pc game needs to boot directly to the main menu and have a button in the options menu that loads a special room which shows the most expensive graphics the game will have so people can test settings

I literally just listened to Philip Glass on my walk earlier because the weather reminded me of the GTA IV reveal trailer lmao

my cat hopped in my lap listening and we had a very nice hour ❤️

My cats are the best, but everything about pets makes me feel this way. I’m mixed if I would get more now that I’m not a 10 yo

Always found dogs difficult because I love letting animals be them. They’re genetically modified to be dependent on us. It’s gross to be around even if it’s not their fault

Maybe my major gripe is also that this game isn’t targeting a fundamentally different style of play.

I’m sick of sweaty matchmaking oriented multiplayer games. I would love for Valve to rethink that type of game at a fundamental level. Instead they’re making *another* Dota/CS.

I understand a multiplayer live game is a much more efficient use of resources when it comes to hours played for development time spent.

But how long these games are planned to last makes it impossible to get excited. This isn’t a cool new game but Valve’s potential next decade long commitment 😐
October 16, 2025 at 6:02 AM
The bizarre thing to me is I don’t even understand how this slots into their lineup. Valve doesn’t have many people, it’s going to cut resources from their other live games.

My friends into Dota have already been complaining about how little support Dota’s gotten since Deadlock dev kicked in 😭

Rumours in the air are suggesting that they’re architecting these consoles more around ML upscaling to make them more affordable to people and make it easier to cut their costs over time.

I’m not sure how much it’s the same around the world, but here in Vancouver it’s like $650 CAD round trip for flights 😵‍💫

Idk how but my trip in December is coming out to be cheaper than my week long road trip to Vegas???

It's an insanely affordable vacation right now, it's actually crazy.

I’m just sad trent had to get wrapped up in this

the only one who gave a shit about anything to do with this project
