Until the PS6 is like $900 and people continue to buy PS5s even though Fortnite can run on a toaster.

Basil Berchekas III @itsbasiltime.com · 3d

Because the PS5 systems sell no problem, but the games do not. Because Fortnite exists and games like it so people just need the system to play it on. So they are running out of people to sell PS5s to... So why not a PS6?

I love that FFT has enough class variety that people who love calculators and people who can't math (me) can enjoy the same game.

It’s even stupider than that: it’s actually a 6 disc case, just the worst designed one I’ve ever seen. You’re supposed to place disc 1 directly on top of disc 2. Why they couldn’t have used a normal 5 disc case (like they already do for a bunch of their releases) is beyond me.

In a five-disc release, you have a case made for four discs. Unsurprisingly, the last disc was just rattling around in the case. God knows what happened in transit and if it even works.

I've been trying to remain chill during all the delays of @crunchyroll.com's Dirty Pair release, but waiting several years only to hear of production issues, and having a loose disc in the subpar packaging is really the final straw for me.

Oh I am 99% it's just one guy multi-boxing. So they're not spending $15 a month, it's hundreds of dollars a month to do this. I have no idea why.

ACAB definitely includes the Weeaboo Police.

I have no clue why they have decided to infest the Leviathan server... But boy howdy do they ruin the vibes whenever one heads to Limsa. It used to be fun to see everyone hanging out! Now we all avoid it like the plague.

As it turns out, I really liked Patch 7.3! I think it did a lot of cool things, so I'm glad I got the chance to yammer about them with my #FFXIV Besties @angeldrkfire.bsky.social and @rtobias.bsky.social. (And that I get do it again in person come October for @gatewayfate.bsky.social! Twice!)
