Sadly, the legal interpretation of copyright says you own the plastic, but not the data it contains. It sucks but it’s not just Ubisoft.

It’s no different from Hades 1. It was exclusive to PC and Switch at launch, then released for other consoles 11 months later. If it worked out for that game, I don’t see why it wouldn’t for this one.

You can, though from personal experience it can be a bit finicky if you’re trying to emulate the better PSP version. There are some optional patches that can be applied to it to improve stability, but it still crashes on me a few times in PPSSPP.

A native PC release would have been nice to have. It’s one of the few FF games still not available on PC/Steam.

Alternatively, one could grab the Android version and try to run that on PC through the now-deprecated WSA, but the mobile port is touch input only with no controller support.

I think they mean not letting the ideas go unchallenged. If someone is reading through and sees a bunch of Nazis posting hate all up somewhere with no one else saying anything, they might assume that sort of behavior is just tacitly accepted and influence their perception of the community as a whole.

As someone who played World of Warcraft for many years using only mouse and keyboard, before moving on to FFXIV…I have never played FFXIV on mouse and keyboard and don’t even know how I could at this point >!except for the few times I do the Air Force One GATE at the Gold Saucer because the aim speed on a controller is just way too slow!<

Before anyone gets hyped thinking this is a spiritual sequel to Bloodborne, they may want to read the description on the official site (translated from Japanese via DeepL):

The Duskbloods," a multiplayer action game, was announced during a Nintendo Direct released on Wednesday, April 2.

The software for Nintendo Switch 2 is a PvPvE-based multiplayer action game that pits up to eight players against each other, and between players and their enemies. Players take on the role of the “Twilight Bloods,” a race of people who have been given powers beyond those of humans through the power of special blood, and engage in an epic battle for the "First Blood.

The “Creator’s Voice,” an interview with the director regarding the concept and worldview of the game, will be released on Friday, April 4 at 10:00 p.m.

Please look forward to the release of this work in 2026.

This game appears to be to Bloodborne what Nightreign is to Elden Ring: an online multiplayer-focused experience using a lightweight version of their gameplay formula. Only, while Nightreign is co-op, this one appears to be more competitive.

Basically, no one should be buying a Switch 2 for this game if they’re expecting Bloodborne 2. If they do, they’re setting themselves up for disappointment.

Well, “owning,” if they’re bought through Steam.

Does the Steam Deck have GOG support?

At least it seemed honest. But yeah, I feel like when you have only one other player in focus, it should try to stream in better quality. Must be capped by the output device.

“If you had just picked a better water bucket, we wouldn’t be in this mess. It’s your fault if the house burns down.”

Humans (and most other animals) see better side-to-side than up-down. Your eyes are spaced horizontally, giving us a wider horizontal field of vision. People generally prefer putting things side-to-side in work environments, maybe also reflecting how much easier it is to move and work within a horizontal plane than a vertical one. So the upper threshold for monitor width would be longer than the upper threshold for monitor height.

That being said, I know reading is best done in narrower columns, to reduce the amount of left-right movement your eyes need to do which can cause you to lose your place when skimming lines. Three columns of text on a 16:9 monitor is way more readable than one column of text that spans the entire monitor.

And then why do we make an exception for phones which are predominantly used in portrait mode? I guess maybe just for easier 1-handed use? Maybe also to give us more peripheral vision of potential hazards and other things happening in the background when using them, since they’re mobile devices.

Ending it as quickly and painlessly as possible then, I guess. I stick by the opinion that a life without agency and with no means to obtain it isn’t really living at all.

It sounds like you have no agency either way, then, which still sounds like a bad deal to me. I’d rather die at 40 living a life of my choosing than live to 400 with essentially no free will.

I’m not sure I understand the question. If the premise is that you become physically incapable of doing any action that introduces greater risk than some alternative, which isn’t even a guarantee of “immortality” as described, then it’s basically a life not lived at all. The safest option would always be to go nowhere, do nothing, speak to no one.

Imagine living life as if everything was covered in California Prop 65 labels saying “This action can expose you to risks which are known to future you to cause premature demise or other bodily harm.” It sounds awful, I’d never take that bet.

This is also my guess. Nintendo knows the demand, they’ll do $499.99 for the launch model and release a cheaper “lite” version like the original Switch in 2 years at $350 or $400 or something.

I’m not sure if The Last Shogun is something different, but if you’re referring to the Shogun series recently adapted by FX, I can say having watched it that it features a main character who fancies himself a superior white savior, but ultimately leads to realizing how completely out of his depth he is.

But it’s like the Memoir of a Geisha problem: since the original work was written by a white dude anyways, how much value does it have as a cultural work?

I’ve said pretty much all I can say on the topic, so I’ll just call it here and award you the internet points of the day. But just need to clarify that pulling in more dictionary definitions to justify a particular use of a term as being more or less correct is the opposite of negating prescriptivism. A survey or other statistic would probably be more applicable on that front.

Apologies if I misunderstood what you were referring to, in that case.

The point I am getting at, though (or failing miserably to, apparently) is that no one here should be confused by the multiple people in the thread who question OP’s use of the term “lynched,” because more than anything else, it “especially” implies an execution by public mob, which did not happen in this case.

Just because a dictionary gets to, well, dictate the various definitions of a word, doesn’t mean that it should be used without consideration for its generally accepted meaning, as dictionaries are often poor authorities.

Thanks, I was about to have a nice day but someone thankfully reminded me I actually suck.

You’re the one doing linguistic prescriptivism here

Only to prove a point, I apologize if the meaning was lost.

The only difference is that what you’re prescribing isn’t what’s in the dictionary, it’s what’s in your own head.

But it is in the dictionary, that’s the point I was getting at. From the same source as the previous poster, note the second definition of both the noun and verb forms:

If that seems like I’m just cherry picking definitions to exclude the common parlance (which, to clarify, is what I am doing), then why likewise exclude the definitions of lynch which do specifically equate it with execution just to make some sort of “umm akshually” point?

But why use “lynched” and not “raped” then? He was successfully raped, as opposed to an “attempted” lynch.

I’m not the one crying about definitions, I just think linguistic prescriptivism is a weird hill to die on. We all know the connotations of these terms.
