connrrr PS5 slim to show up because I don’t want that eyesore in my home as currently designed

i don’t mind the ugly design so much as just how flippin huge the thing is. damn thing is too big! i sort of prefer the scifi look of the ps5 over the unbranded car battery look of the current xbox series though.

connrrr

rootfifthoctave I like the clean boxy (but not boxy like a muscle car boxy) look of newer xboxes but I can tell people are going to harbour a lot of nostalgia for the maximalist days.

Gaagaagiins lmao I forgot about the sigs!!!!!

connrrr imo “fast fresh and friendly” would be right at home on your user profile.

I was raised on Robin’s Donuts, and I remember a time when the first Tims’s Hortons opening in town was an event, so this makes sense…

Also I love that @Syzygy transported this thread to an alternate dimension wherein Robin’s Donuts did not cow to American imperialism wrt spelling and preserved the correct spelling of doughnut in the name of the store, but, it does mean that both words in the name have the same number of letters, so maybe it’s for the best.

I would hold it against Robin’s Donuts for it, however:

You know, I was about to head over the lazy disinfo thread to claim that donuts are the rings of fried dough whereas doughnuts are nut-shaped balls of dough (what Americans call “donut holes”), but I decided to visit Etymonline right before that, and uh…

…that might be the literal truth.

Funbil this made me imagine a game company continuously announcing big news regarding a game, for the announcement to be that they’ll announce something else big, eventually silently releasing the game while still doing the big announcements.

VLADIMIR:
Did you not hear what the child said?
ESTRAGON:
No.
VLADIMIR:
He said that Fuga's release date was sure to be announced tomorrow. (Pause.) What do you say to that?
ESTRAGON:
Then all we have to do is to wait on here.

At this point, I wouldn’t be surprised if Level 5’s own PR team had lost track of which project announced between 2015 and 2018 has been released, cancelled, put in service and terminated or still awaiting promised further announcements.

Whoa Robin’s is real? That’s cool. I was excited for Final Fantasy XVI but then I remembered I don’t have a PS5 so I’ll be playing it in 2025 or something

For all you lucky Fantasian and Air Twister enjoyers, Pocket Card Jockey is coming to Apple devices/Apple Arcade. I hope it comes to other stuff, too

Dang! Videoverse, the “Miiverse-inspired visual novel”, seems pretty cool. Crazy and sobering to already see Miiverse youth nostalgia from young creators.

There’s big happenings in the video game-adjacent world of D&D. Not the source I usually take my TTRPG news from, but it works as a summary for relative outsiders. See also r/dnd currently exploding.

Syzygy See also r/dnd currently exploding.

Just read a great post on there, copied via the official blog: Paizo Announces System-Neutral Open RPG

RubySunrise

Gaagaagiins omg the coupon code.

Syzygy

The cherry on top is that Paizo rose to prominence (and financial success) by capitalizing on D&D’s last major misstep, 4E. As someone commented in that thread: how many times do we have to teach you this lesson, old man?

Syzygy

Some updates.

Finally some hope for a great new JRPG releasing on PS5 in 2023.

xhekros

◉◉maru Damn, that’s a JRPG I’m willing to try.

I am very stoked for Relink. I’ve tried to play the mobile game many times and it’s well made but I can’t stick with it. This is much more my speed and it looks fun as hell.
