I just found out the new Folding Ideas video essay on NFTs is inexplicably on Letterboxd, so here's me plugging that:

It's a bit dryer than the Defunctland video on FastPass but Dan Olson is still really good at explaining things without being boring.

Olson is a compelling speaker, but he did start losing me at a few points. Though my covid wasn't helping.

If anyone wanted to upgrade their set for a new PS5 but kind if on a budget and didn't need VRR or 4 high bandwidth HDMI ports, Walmart has the 48" A1 for about $800

Just wait until you get further in the story. It's a masterpiece in world building in that while it expands more and more (minor spoiler) at the same time gets smaller and smaller.

All the clunkiness of the controls aside, it's my favourite R* game by far.

The idea that there is much more story to get to is insane to me.

Oh yeah, I'll for sure need an open world breather then. Just bought armored core 4 for ps3 and it should show up soon, so giant robot destruction should be a nice change of pace (ac6 when???).

Wish the PS app had tracking for ps3 trophies and such. I know it's fairly niche and old af though. There's probably some weird ps3 hardware limitation reason for why it wouldn't work anyway. It's amazing that games managed to even get things like voice chat to work online in game.

The Old Republic MMO did something like that. They transplanted the aesthetics and core conflict of the movies onto a completely different era.

I guess cause people expected SW to look a certain way?

The main thing that an MMO benefits from doing this is that canonically during the original trilogy time there are supposed to be almost no force users since palpatine killed them all

In a single player game you can get a convoluted story about secret Jedi in hiding but that will break when you scale it up to an MMO (star wars galaxy tried) but in TOR you can just go hog wild and let everyone run around with lightsabers

It really does. It's like a love letter to the series and I loved the abilities that each character got, like Wesker being able to dodge cancel out of everything like the goofy gently caress he was in RE5.

Oh my god, RDR2 is so goddamn big. I finally got to the second epilogue and there is so much more out there. It's incredible.

It really is, I’ve been so tempted to start up another playthrough of that. I’ve played some absolutely incredible game since RDR2 but nothing has even come close to that experience. The epilogues are so, so good.

Its a uhhhhhhhhhhhh prequel. (Then again, its got all kinds of ff stuff in it, so who knows really)

I mean its a simple story but with a cool for the time idea/twist but its not a long game. Theres a 99% chance all the pixel remasters are coming to console soon so, might as well wait and see. They were nes games so the first 3 are limited kinda but do their best. 4 is when they started to go all in with what they could do in a story and i dont mean that as a way to deminish the first 3. 2 tried it best iirc

Tho if you have a ps3/1 ff origins collection version of 1 is good.

I played R&C on Hard and it was pretty much the right way to play until I got towards the end where the girl Lombax planet is being invaded and there's a huge difficulty spike for the boss there. Got him down finally after like 20 tries and stopped playing. Should probably pick it up again.... and this thread is making me want to finally beat RDR2 as well (on chapter... 6? I think? definitely coming up on the 'end')

But I'm already behind on my ambitious 2022 games list. Gotta beat RE4VR in the next 6 days.

"Ah," Ratz had said, at last, "the artiste."
It's worth noting that the time loop from the original FF1 didn't even make sense and there's no way that a Kingdom Heartsized version of a prequel will make any more sense but it seems like a fun ride

“We don’t really know where this goes — and I’m not sure we really care.”
Just beat Father Gascoigne on the first try, Bloodborne is either much easier than I was expecting or DS3 is good practice. I'm sure I'll eventually find a boss that whoops my rear end though.

I've noticed camera angles while locked on in Bloodborne are a lot worse than in DS3, sometimes I'll be locked on and the viewing angle is impossible to tell what's going on.
