Don’t know why the headline is so shitty, but the “mmo” seems to be a splatoon-like multiplayer game unrelated to pokemon.

Well that is my argument, we hit diminishing returns this generation, and further upgrades are a waste of money.

If you have anything relevant to add, it’s certainly welcome, but ignoring context to try to make my point sound worse is just wasting both our time.

I’m confused why you seem like you’re arguing with me but still fundamentally making the same point. Those improvements don’t inherently make games more fun, but they create opportunities for variety and new elements to the medium. It was previous tech improvements that made Halo and F.E.A.R. possible, that’s exactly what I’m talking about.

But processing power isn’t really a relevant limitation to game design anymore. I genuinely don’t see any future console generations being particularly enticing for me, outside an upgrade to my steam deck, especially when most of what I play is 5-20 years old anyway.

I have to assume you’re too young to remember previous generations.

Increased power makes a difference up to a point, but we’re now so far into diminishing returns you can hardly tell the difference between a ps4 game and the ps5 ‘enhanced’ if you don’t have a 4k TV.

Increased computing power used to open up entirely new concepts in gaming. 3D environments, then larger and larger worlds, dynamic physics engines, more complex NPC Ai and more power to run larger numbers of enemies at a time.

Now, it hardly matters. There’s more than enough power to do pretty much anything you want. Unlimited worlds, thousands of NPCs, photorealistic graphics, and absolutely nothing new. It can always be ‘bigger and better’ but at what point does that stop mattering? For me, it was last console generation.

Nah, better lighting doesn’t do a damn thing to make a game more fun. The only notable difference that even matters is better load times.

Why would you need a male/female USB?

This device is basically just a really short charging/data cable. I don’t understand what’s so confusing about it. It’s functionally identical to using the standard charging cable, just with the devices closer together.

Yeah, a lot of people are missing the entire point for the show. We already see the Jedi in the prequels ‘not acting like true Jedi’. Now we’re seeing how they got there, how a group of ‘good’ and well meaning people can corrupt themselves. This is a Jedi order that made mistakes and has had their perfect image shattered by the nihil conflict. They’re so afraid of losing face that now they’re trying to hide mistakes and isolate themselves, which of course only serves to further erode public trust when those mistakes come to light.

I’ve yet to see a lore complaint that has any actual merit to it. They incorporated a bunch of shit from legends, so anyone deep into the lore that went in with an open mind probably enjoyed it, I certainly did. The only thing that was hard retconned was Mundi’s age, and who honestly cares about that beyond the memes?

It just goes to show how powerful the nonsense outrage machine is online.

It’s vaguely referenced in The Last Jedi, but it doesn’t really go anywhere. Finn discovers the dude they stole the ship from was selling military hardware to both sides, and that’s basically all it ever comes up.

It is more of a big theme in the prequels, where you have the constant undercurrent of Palpatine orchestrating the conflict and driving the war machine for both sides. It comes up a lot in the Clone Wars show. But even then it’s not really about both sides driving perpetual war so much as how he used civil unrest to justify a proxy war to solidify his own power.

“Attachment” is not the same as connection. The concept the Jedi are talking about is the Buddhist idea of attachment. It’s possessiveness, codependency, fear of loss. One cannot be fully connected to anything they’re attached to.

You’ve been misled by the Sith propaganda my friend.
