BeanpolePeckerwood posted:it's interesting that the intersection of GTA's rise to popularity and the iphone's access to google maps managed to rewire people's sense of space in such a short amount of time, like 5 years, and so much for the worse. nowadays my friends use navigation to drive to places they already know the location of! I use GPS for any drive over 10 minutes, even if I know where I'm going, because traffic data is really accurate and useful! marktheando posted:I've always had a terrible sense of direction so I welcome it Yeah same, I remember going to NYC for the first time pre-smart phones, and I was genuinely lost and freaked out half of the time (even though the streets are numbered).

I know they have a lot to fix in the game, but I can’t believe you have cybernetic eyes and there’s a minimap instead of AR directions while you’re traveling. The future is dumb.

Once you know your way around it never goes away, and some of the fun of exploration is stumbling across stuff you'd never have otherwise seen. I like to walk around the city I live in by different routes just to catch the stores and whatnot I don't know about. Found a fantastic Brazilian place that way not too long ago!

Goodness yes! Getting lost without a care is a great way to experience both a new city and a good open world. My first 12 or so hours of RDR2 was mostly picking an unexplored area of the map and casting off to do some hunting and emergent events, it was such a joy.

I ended up buying Fenyx and I'm loving it--thanks for all of the information on it, everyone. It feels like the polar opposite of Valhalla to me: snappy and responsive, fun and fluid. I can see the humor rubbing some people the wrong way, but for me it's really doing the trick. I felt like Valhalla took itself too serious, so Fenyx not taking itself seriously at all is hitting the right note.

This has legitimately changed how people interact with their environment - and overall, I think it has done nothing other than to make them more competent at it.

There is fun in being lost in a game but it really depends on how the game world is designed. I think it'd be really frustrating to try and navigate any of these contemporary/future cities without any sort of guidance. That said the GPS in C2077 sucks and I have just been using the quest marker on the hud more and ignoring the GPS. You can actually look at what you are doing and your surroundings and it gets you there fine, although the realistic highway system and multi tiered, sometimes maze-like design of the city requires some more work. if anyone needs any more CP2077 driving tips I'm a pro and I'm here all day. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6DezvXCU484

Maybe your character just prefers minimaps over directions. When I use a GPS, I always select the top-down perspective rather than the chase cam perspective because I think it gives me a better feeling for my relative position to things.

New bug: PS5 lost connection to both my DualSenses after waking from rest mode. It was acting as if neither were paired and connecting via cable did nothing. Resetting fixed it, didn't need to re-pair.

Are there issues with using the same account on a PS4 and 5 at same time? I gave my PS4 to my brother a while ago and they’ve been buying stuff and whatever and I’d wanna use that same account with my old poo poo on ps5 if i get one. I kinda assume it doesn’t play nicely about this but one can hope maybe? Like we prolly wouldn’t be playing the same games if that matters somehow. Oh hey I guess it works fine I forgot everyone stopped being jerks about these things. kater fucked around with this message at 03:09 on Jan 2, 2021 |

I just turned off Rest Mode out of fear my crops will wither and my cows will dry up I also don't use the mic on the controller If anyone has any other things to add to this list of my peasant superstitions, please do, because I'd like to keep a cool good working ps5 E: I'm sorry if this sounded lovely, I actually do turn Rest Mode off. Even if the fix is just reset, I'm spooked. Firstborn fucked around with this message at 03:27 on Jan 2, 2021 |

My wife and I were eating dinner and this little boy wearing a green dress thing just kicked the door in, threw all of our clay pots on the floor and then left. My grandmother made those. What’s worse is what he did to our chickens outside.

In Fenyx, there is this one fresco challenge with a bunch of lasers blocking your path of pushing stuff. Solved that. Right next to there there is a small lyre in a building. You have to flip three switches to open it. The first switch you throw some blocks into a building to weigh down two plates, this will light a torch you use to light another torch which makes a switch available. The second switch you gotta kill some monsters or something. The third switch is red, next to a label 6 that requires a heavy block. So I would assume pushing a heavy block into that switch would make it available to be activated. But I solved the block pushing puzzle, and the switch is still red and can't interact with it. I can't see anything that was affected by weighing down the plate. Anyone done this one?

Beat Demon's Souls last night and NG+ immediately started kicking my sorry rear end, so I decided to take a break and basically flipped a coin between Nier Automata and DMC5. I was not prepared for how loving bonkers Nier Automata is. Probably one of the best openings for a game ever with like every old arcade style gameplay crammed into one, then it turned into a sandbox lootquest and I lost interest. Just picked it back up and I'm at the amusement park and I don't know what reality is anymore.

The PS5 background music player is another step back from the ps4. Most actions now require additional button presses, and the player doesn't consistently show up as the primary card because activities can push it down the line. Which means extra time spent just looking for the player.
