I vaguely remember playing it but that’s about all I remember about it.

The saddest part is that a good chunk of what is produced from that livestock gets thrown away because overproduction doesn’t matter under capitalism so long as profits exceed costs of production.

Entire farms worth of animals being slaughtered, with those in power who demand it be done knowing full well that nearly half is going to end up in a landfill, because it has the potential to make the owners a buck of profit.

How others are not enraged by this, I do not know. It fills my blood with a cold anger.

It’s honestly pathetic how hard you’re arguing to justify this bullshit.

Let it go and stop being a Sony’s cuck. Nothing you say will justify DRM.

Is it a measure that is done in the consumer’s interests? Hell no. Does this negatively affect consumers? Yes. IDC how small a percentage it affects. I care that it affects fellow consumers and their ability to use a product they paid for.

That’s all there is to it. Any excuse from the company to justify it gets them a big fat finger from me. The company’s interests are not my interests and they, in fact, go directly against my interests. So fuck em.

Just so you know, I absolutely give zero shits about their reasons for doing it.

Ruining the experience for everyone else because of a negligible minority of people found a clever way to cheat the system (good for them). Sony can get fucked.

Geez after the debacle with their new DRM shit for digital purchases and rolling back their pledge to release to PC, I wonder fucking why people aren’t climbing over themselves to throw money at 'em.

Not to mention general economics issues plaguing the world right now. Can’t imagine many people have the disposable income to throw at video games to begin with.

Man, I remember when the star map was just a path with dots on it and there was a total of 5 frames. Excal, Loki, and Mag were the starting frames.

I remember them adding the star map and people hating it cause it made figuring out how to navigate to new planets confusing as fuck before they added in the being able to walk around your Orbiter and the updated mission tracking menus.

But the community existed and we all helped each other figure it out and progress with each other. Guilds and friendship grew naturally with people who were at the same point of progression you were. Without that community helping figure things out the game wouldn’t have been able to get past those growing pains and become the absolute behemoth it is today.

Yes, CPS? This person right here.

The vast majority of people still believe in archaic and draconic bullshit because it is “tradition”, even to the point of ignoring all scientific evidence supporting the contrary perspective.

Not really. It’s less to do with hearing/perception and more how the human brain processes regular speech; neurodivergent people, like those with ADHD and/or autism like myself, process these things differently.

The brain processes singing differently than regular speech and the issue with audio processing disorder is that how we process regular speech makes it hard for us to hold conversation. Like I need people to repeat things a few times occasionally and if I’m not paying direct attention to the person speaking then voices are basically like “whomp-whomp” from Peanuts, so if someone calls for me while I’m doing something I straight up won’t know I’m being called for.

So needing to listen to an audio log takes forever cause I need to replay it a few times to fully process the words being spoken. Especially if they have audio effects like distortion added over the voice.

Audio processing disorder (AuADHD) so being narrated at is pretty much white noise for me; so can’t relate.

I agree on everything except the audio over text bit. If it has to be anything, let it be text. Let me be able to skim it if I want, don’t make me sit through an audio file to get background lore.

If it isn’t gonna be presented through the actual storytelling of the gameplay, put it in a text file.
