This will be the sixth time we have destroyed the DC cinematic universe, and we have become exceedingly efficient at it.

Gears is an extremely high level commentary on fascism, war, PTSD, weapon races, and soldiers mental health. These fucks think it’s a pro war, pro “badass” series when it’s so far from that it’s hilarious.

My favorite Gears of War entries are the ones without Mags Carter. No lecture on 'queerness'. No deviating to 'get her meds'. No attempts to do a 'therapy session' on Marcus Fenix.

40% physical despite Nintendo counting a NSO sub and a Switch 1 to Switch 2 upgrade as a digital sale. Shows you how much demand there still is for physical even when you heavily skew numbers towards digital.

The remake of the best reviewed game of all time also reviewed well? Shocking.

4 Meses desde el anuncio que paralizó a los Gamers de Consola. La verdad nunca creí que 4 meses después el backlash sigue y seguirá hasta 2028. Gracias a todos lo Jugadores que luchan por la propiedad y preservación de sus juegos fisicos y no se rinden a lo digital #NoDiscNoBuy

Readers added context they thought people might want to know
PlayStation gains power over the consumer by disallowing new physical games and forcing digital. For example, in the EU, PlayStation’s ToS says your digital games can be deleted after 36 months of account inactivity. All your games you paid for, poof, gone. See Section 21. playstation.com/en-gb/legal/te…

The venn diagram of the “I don’t owe anybody anything” crowd and the “why is there no sense of community anymore” people is a perfect circle

Man, I would’ve been well over this probably even a year ago. But I feel NOTHING for the PlayStation brand at this point.

I can tell this will become an annual lament for me: the “trunk and treat” is a degraded, uncivilized, atomized replacement for actually going around to your neighbors’ houses and interacting with them on Halloween. Horrible development in American life.

Probably not great that the newly Saudi Arabian funded EA closed down the most LGBT forward part of the company.
