This, and further exacerbated by this post where they take no accountability.


Sly Cooper and Jak & Daxter are both criminally forgotten in this era of games



Agreed. Just canceled PS Plus. Fuck Sony for the shitty bender they’ve been on.


It’s more over-the-top and arcade-y. Things like volcanos exploding as you ride down the slopes and an indoor mall-like mountain in Tokyo with an air-lift you use to do laps. Note that it’s not free-ride, so there are pluses and minuses to it.



I really agree. As quick as I am to be cynical about low-impact press releases from a conglomerate, I do find it interesting to read through design changes and the symbolic meaning in branding.


It’s a weird take, but I’m not sure I expect a new Jet Set to live up to what Bomb Rush Cyberfunk put out. That game was a love letter, and absolutely nailed the style, gameplay, and nostalgia. I’d be afraid of getting a new Jet Set and it ends up being kinda generic or uninteresting.


That gets wildly different with how taxing games are and how much they specifically take advantage of x86_64 instructions sets. Even decade old games would barely squeak by, if they don’t break entirely.


Fediverse could absolutely do better on just that data, though I do want to note the really effective (or addictive) algorithms for TikTok, Instagram, Reddit, etc. work on a hell of a lot more data than that. Not just what you directly interacted with, but did you even just click on the link? Did you go to the comment section? How long were you in the comment section? What comments did you expand? When you follow a link or look at an image, how long till you go to the next post?

Like I said, there are ways to do better with what we have, but the “ideal” behavior is secretly fueled by a whole lot of extra data collection that gets distributed everywhere.


As someone who has exclusively bought games for download this generation, it ain’t economical lol


Not to mention it’s still on twitter.com, and changing it to another domain is a borderline impossible amount of work to do for any social media site that size.
