  • Well I I imagine the rest of us think it’s pretty self explanatory.

    What don’t you get about tattooing the name of a Brand and politician and an arbitrary year on your face, while playing iSpy with your social media posts?

    Wait… No… I said it out loud… Nah, include me in confused.

    OK but I think it actually might be interesting to see the difference.

    That top tier model got you:

    • WiFi
    • a hard drive 3x bigger than the standard
    • every type of card reader
    • full backwards compatibility with previous console games
    • bluray and CD player for home entertainment console use

    Now granted that last part is true for the cheaper model PS3 too.

    For the PS5 pro upgrade you get

    • the same amount of RAM
    • slightly better performing GPU under theoretical max use cases using updated hardware but not new
    • a removed disk drive for less functionality
    • 2x times hard drive space when storage costs are at a historical low.

    The extra money used to get you more functionality. This refresh seems like more for number fetishists to scrape more dopamine from the bottom of the barrel and get ripped off apple style to dish out more for basic features.

    Yes they have charged a lot but this is not exactly a great sign of “see how they have always done this?”

    Edit: also wages haven’t dramatically shifted since the PS3 launch so while inflation has ruined purchasing power to make it cost equivalent of $950, work hours needed to work to afford $600 is still the same thus making this new console still quite more costly. Its just you could buy more with same hours of work in the past.

    Decimals don’t matter for you and you are pushing that to everyone as a way to delegitimize my point.

    I use Celsius and they matter to me. I can and do notice a difference between setting my thermostat to 21.5 vs 22 vs 22.5. You don’t whatever.

    I said I was using Celsius but because I had a complaint you decided I was outside of your accepted user group and my statement was BS.

    Its bullshit.

    Meh I’m about 50/50 4 air conditioners in. Half degrees has not been all that uncommon and it’s up and down arrows to adjust it. I don’t get the handwaving of legitimate points of comtention to make Celsius seem more perfect. Everything has its flaws. It’s completely fine to admit that.

    No this was an airconditioner built for and used in Japan only. It’s only in Celsius. It just uses decimal point options for finer control. I have been in plenty of places that only use Celsius and use decimals especially higher than 20s.

    And still doesn’t change the drastic change between the whole numbers the higher you go vs lower temps.

    Edit: literally my fever thermometer uses decimals to help you get a proper temperature reading between normal and fever.

    I’ve been all over the world. Trust me seeing 21.6 or other decimals is not uncommon you and others are really just pushing hard on the ideas that there is no flaws and none of the quirks of Celsius.

    I literally just set an air conditioner to 20.5°C. I don’t get why lie like this.

    I’m gonna be honest. I love Celsius for the the whole perfect math reasons with calories and water based measurement…

    But the curve on temps is a pain when all the nice temperatures require using a decimal place to decide just how slightly above or below pleasant it is but cold is basically everything from 16°C to -30°C And then decimals really matter when hotter than pleasant temps.

    Whole rounded integers are just so vastly different depending how high or low you are in Celsius.







  • Golf Club Nostalgia(917 Reviews)

    This is a game that isn’t here for the game play. I think if you are paying at all attention to the boring dystopia, or climate collapse communities then this will hit in a way that is hard to define.

    Its a golf game. Simple, could be played on a phone really, but you have to have the sound on for this one.
    You are a member of the elite refugees who have fled to Mars and only return back to Earth to use the husk of a planet for a round of golf. And your companion is a lone radio broadcast from Mars of what they have left, which is stories and the rare music that was saved.

    The combination of overwhelmingly good world building and consistent vibe even down to the level names and journal entries hits like a train and made me cry at least a couple times.
    It made me feel nostalgiac for a world that has not yet come to pass and is a great on sale pick.

    I know you said less than 1,000 reviews but this is at 1,500 so I think it just squeaks by.

    This game for lack of a better description, adorable and over too soon.

    Like a mashup of pikmim, Spyro 2, and Tony Hawk Pro Skater. It’s got lots of fun platforming and new puzzle mechanics in an ever adding open world that is a true joy to traverse and cute silly little side plots that make for rather grand set pieces when it all comes together. I got 100% in 12 hours but also collect-a-thons are my jam and I was plowing through the game with grin on my face for everything but the platinum time trials.
