$9.47 so yes.

After taxes you're looking at almost $11US though :retrogames: :ohdear:

The square enix exclusives are doing a lot of heavy lifting for PlayStation as almost anything else I’d want to play on the platform are either on pc or switch. I also don’t like Sonys current direction, but the idea of supporting the company that’s actively paying mountains of cash to devalue my platform of choice leaves a really bad taste in my mouth and ensures that I really do not want a ps5.

Edit: also hifi rush is a phenomenal game and it is criminally under appreciated.

Ya I still like their singleplayer exclusives(minus Spidey) but those seem to have slowed down as well since they decided to blow their whole spending on SaaS games. There was some news that the new CEO has canceled a bunch of those, hopefully they can use the resources to make new ips/games instead of remaking Last of Us again.

I don't think they cancelled them, perse, but about half of their planned line up of twelve(!) or so live-service games has been delayed past March 2025.

Is anyone else having some trouble with the Bing Rewards daily searches on mobile? I use to be able to tap through 15 marvel movies in half a minute and get 60 rewards points. But 2-3 days ago these hardly register anymore, unless I pause for ~10 seconds between "searches".

For the past couple of days, mobile searches will count toward my point total, but they will still show as 0/100 on the dashboard website as if I didn't do them.

Look, it's absolutely cool when your platform of choice spends billions of dollars to devalue another platform, but absolutely unacceptable in the opposite direction.

Mickey Mousecapade is the only game I’ve ever gotten as a gift that I didn’t explicitly ask for. It was indeed a well meaning grandma. She could’ve done a lot worse, to be honest.

That reminds me a game where Mickey was on different planets and it was scary because I was trying to do my best to keep mickey and pluto alive and also i was 5.

My father played games so I was pretty good about not getting stuff I didn't want. The only two games I can remember getting that I didn't ask for were Sonic Spinball and Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, so a solid 50% hit ratio and honestly "Buy a Sonic game" seems entirely reasonable as a safe bet back in 1993.

My parents, grandparents always asked me what games I wanted. Usually EA Sports games for the Genesis. I did get some baseball game that I really didn't like, can't remember what it was even.

One time i prank called a bear buildin workshop and said I wanted my mamaws ashes put in a teddy from where she loved them things so well... The woman on the phone did not skip a beat. She just said, "Brang her on down here. We've did it before."
Immortals of Aveum has a free trial, and I wanted to see if it was as bad as I heard it was on series S.

Y'all, it's actually a weird vibe. It runs at 60fps, but to do this it like pixelates everything to an insane degree and I guess is rendering at 480p sometimes (or lower?)

There is no 30 fps option. What a strange game.

It seems kinda fun. Maybe I'll check it out next generation and get it for 2 bucks or something in 7 years.

It'll be coming to game pass at some point since it's an EA game. I've heard it might come even sooner than that though.
