Okay I fixed it. The solution was dumb. Apparently my trophy data was corrupted or something(?) so I had to select a game I had zero trophies in and delete the trophy data and for some reason this allowed my console to sync my trophies with PSN (which it wasn’t letting me do before) which then let me play video games again. Trophies loving suck!!! They’re useless and pointless and apparently they can also just gently caress up and keep you from playing video games entirely!!!! Pieces of poo poo!!!! Bastards!!!

Yeah, TLOU plays better on hard because you're constantly down on resources and have to improvise ways of getting out of situations you can just shoot your way out of in the lower settings. I feel like listening mode was also generally bad for the game, as it kills a whole lot of the tension being able to know where everything is by holding a button. I wonder if anyone who plugged it as a subpar shooter/stealth game was playing on an easier setting because I absolutely loved the gameplay and I played my first time on hard with listening mode turned off.

It’s also what MK wants to be which is fine it’s just weird that they are in the same game

It’s not mean-spirited or hateful, it’s just gratuitous.

I think that's likely, I played through once on Normal way back on PS3 and had a good time, it was fine, didn't touch the campaign again. Then I replayed it last year on Survivor and found that I was barely exploiting the game the first time through. TLOU maybe could've done a better job of reinforcing that you have way more options than just shooting, perhaps that's what Joel's crappy aim at the start was supposed to suggest, but on lower difficulty you get enough ammo to just push through and treat it like a shooter with frustrating aiming. I'm sure they wanted to make the default difficulty accessible but they went a little too far IMO and made it easy to avoid engaging with some very cool mechanics.

The funny thing is how much the game is built around being able to get by without listen mode. Like, it honestly feels like it was intended to be played that way but they chickened out at some point because they didn't want to risk frustrating people. There's no point in the game where you need listen mode though.

I've been playing Prey (2017). It's real good, the System Shock 2 influence is strong as hell. I started off on Hard but turned it down to normal after getting frustrated with a couple sections, but I think I might pop it up again now that I've got some weapons and know what I'm doing.

But you see when I shatter half the bones in an opponent's body and obliterate their eyes using a Fatal Blow, they get right back up with 100% mobility and vision so it's OK.

You can disagree if you want, but I see a very big difference between something like Saw, which is actual torture porn, and MK. Saw gets off on putting people through intense, realistic, and extended physical and psychological trauma. In MK you're whacking each other for a couple minutes, occasionally doing some over the top animations while your enemy goes "OOF" "AGH!". It is gruesome and I absolutely understand anyone who doesn't find it very watchable, there's a wide spectrum there of what people are able to laugh at. I actually do also understand where Charles is coming from now, some of the bone crushing stuff can be a little overly detailed. But yeah it's just not something that registers with me considering the overall theme of the game. PantsBandit fucked around with this message at 03:54 on May 28, 2020 |

In the end fake violence is fake violence. Ymmv on what you like or dislike but don’t try to put one thing on a moral high ground over another. Especially Mortal Kombat which is straight up just violence for the sake of violence lol.

The bearing in the fan of my PS4 Pro went bad a month or two ago, but it's finally gotten to the point where it's so loud I can't even leave it on in rest mode anymore. A replacement should be here this weekend--it seems like an easy repair, but really tedious since you have to take the entire loving system apart to swap in the new fan. Has anyone else had to replace their fan before? The guides I've read seem pretty straightforward, are there any particular "gotchas"?

I’m glad I grew up on a steady diet of death metal album art. Jokes on me though I’m PS4less and not sure if I’ll be able to even play TloU2 for a long time  Even if I planned to buy a new one asap it’s surprising how unavailable Pros are around the Internet.

It is and it isn't, modern MK fatalities are like if medical students made pinatas out of cadavers. It looks super realistic up to a point, and then it gets very silly. Half of the people that see them are like "what are you talking about there's candy inside its fun", and the other half are too put off by the stuff visibly informed by the snuff videos to enjoy the chocolate center
