Excellent deduction. I was totally saying they were the same thing. /s
Blocking emergency vehicles on roadways and damaging pieces of art aren’t “interrupting computer toy showcases” either (“God, people who play videogames… what a bunch of fucking losers! Right, /c/games?”). But “yay” for that, too.
“We hate oil! Let’s block traffic and force thousands of people to idle, burning more oil than they would’ve if we hadn’t blocked them!”
Absolute brainless bellends.
And yes, the actual art is fine. But they still do actual damage to other parts of the museums – spray-painting walls and destroying frames & display cases. And when they threw crap at the Mona Lisa, they tried breaking through the glass protecting the painting first, so they could destroy the actual painting.
a visitor to the Louvre Museum in Paris tried to smash the glass protecting the famous painting, and then smeared what looked like cake frosting across the surface.
Oh, and the fun part. I 100% think we should reduce fossil fuel emissions.
Unfortunately, the Just Stop Oil geniuses are so hellbent on being attention-seeking tools that they destroy all of the credibility behind their cause.
The only footage is of the aftermath. But if you want to disregard the eyewitness reports, then I guess you can be you.
Here’s a CNN report (you have to watch the video) where two eyewitnesses say the protestor tried to punch out the glass. I mean… I’m not accusing the person of being smart, trying to break bulletproof glass with their fists.
And I guess there’s always a chance this guy is from that other climate activist group that goes around vandalizing high-profile art, and then raving about how we’re killing the planet.
Let’s ignore the fact that these protestors’ entire credo is: “The shitty thing you’re watching me physically do right now? it’s not my fault! Blame the corporations / capitalism / etc!”
Yes, you have our attention. But like when the dog finally catches the car it’s chasing… now what? Or did they never think past the step of doing destructive / self-destructive shit to piss people off?
Whenever a fast paced action game like Devil May Cry, Prodeus, HiFi Rush or Doom have a grading system then I would feel like not continuing them as if some one is judging my performance, instead of a bar to get better....
I suppose I could’ve been less of a butthole about it…
But I just look at the letter grade on games like Devil May Cry or Final Fantasy 13 and think “why is that even here?”.
Then I just pay no attention to it at all. It’s not like a bad grade means you beat the level any less.
And if they base trophies off it, then I don’t try getting all the trophies. More often than not, getting a Platinum Trophy on a game sucks all of the fun out of it anyways. Hard pass.
Probably for the best. The Deck certification process on games would probably be annoying if they had a whole bunch of revisions with only like 10% difference in performance.
Wait a few years and make the next one a meaningful jump.

I like old school Final Fantasy. But I also like a good braindead story game. And that’s pretty much what 16 is (well, as braindead as it can get when the game has a built-in Pepe Silvia string map to explain what’s going on)
Even on the “hard” not-story mode, if you happen to fail a boss fight, your second try is in ultra-easy mode. You get all of your potions back, and the boss is at half-health or something.
Nintendo showed some developers the new console Switch 2 behind closed doors with The Matrix Awakens and a version with improved graphics of The Legend of Zelda
Most of the video games I’ve played were pretty good. The only one I can think of that I didn’t like was MySims Kingdom for the Nintendo DS. Dropped that pretty quickly. It was a long while ago, but I’ll guess it was because there were too many fetch quests and annoying controls.
I guess I sucked at it. I played for 10-12 hours and didn’t beat a single boss. Graveyard Werewolf Dude and Weird Bridge Monster would just wreck me on the rare occasion I could actually make it to them.
After giving up, I learned online that shooting your gun is not actually a range weapon, but it’s meant to parry. Stuff like that – unintuitive mechanics you’d only know about if you were nuts-deep in “the community” – I have little patience for.
And mostly, I’m not playing videogames to prove myself to anyone. I want to have fun – not torture myself.
Cyberpunk is out of people’s minds enough at this point, that to continue devoting resources to it would be a waste.
I’m honestly surprised they rode it as far as they did. Though I do wish they’d have delayed its release until the initial product could’ve been what we saw when they did the PS5/Series X version releases.

Huh. I played the Game Pass version on my RTX 3070 a few months ago, and had no issues whatsoever. I probably spent 30 seconds in the video settings & said, “yup, that sounds about right”.
Then I played the game. I never had a fps number on my screen at any point, but it felt like 60fps. 🤷♂️

Not counting games that were unfun because of bugs, what’s the most unfun video game that you’ve played and what made it unfun?
Most of the video games I’ve played were pretty good. The only one I can think of that I didn’t like was MySims Kingdom for the Nintendo DS. Dropped that pretty quickly. It was a long while ago, but I’ll guess it was because there were too many fetch quests and annoying controls.
