This was exactly my experience as well! The same thing happened with Witcher 3. Sooo much hype but no matter how many times I’ve gone back to it, I just can’t get into it.

I’m a huge fan of the fediverse and I didn’t even get the fed reference haha. A typical user surely wouldn’t get it either!

Not a big fan of the name. Even PixelFeed would make more sense.

I’m conflicted. I really appreciated the quote at the beginning but the actual article seems so poorly written. Grammatical errors, run-on sentences, etc. Gave up half way through.

I just watched the trailer and downloaded the demo. Excited to give it a try. The art style looks very unique and gameplay reminded me of an old Xbox game called Metal Arms: Glitch in the System. Speaking of which I never even owned that game but sunk hundreds of hours into the demo lol.

This is a great perspective! Thanks for sharing the quote. Maybe the fact that I laugh at political incorrectness (or disrespect of others) says more about me and the way I was brought up than I even realize.

There’s got to be some benefit to being able to express yourself freely even if it comes at the expense of others though, no? Accepted social norms have a habit of becoming outdated. Sometimes the reason they become outdated is because we shine a light on the ridiculous nature of some our behaviors. I guess what I’m trying to say is that sometimes too much respect may come at the expense of stagnation?

I really miss this kind of silly, yet creative, politically incorrect content of the old games and internet. Way too much self censorship going on these days in my opinion. Not enough personality.

Do the Persona games have to be played in order? Or can I just pick up any one of them that’s available on PlayStation?

Don’t let stuff like this tarnish your memories please. Many of the clothes we wear, food we eat, and products we purchase most likely involved some form of injustice during production or shipping.

It’s not your fault that you were born into a broken system. You found joy in spending time playing with your mom. There is absolutely nothing more innocent than that! Try to be a decent person in your local community and don’t internalize this kind of news too much. Anything else is guaranteed to be a recipe for a miserable life.

I quite enjoy this site. On my journey to replace a lot of my content consumption with RSS feeds, Aftermath found a home in my RSS reader. We are human and humans can be hypocrites but there’s no need to dismiss an entire publication because of a single author’s hypocritical stance.

Hey! I took a good 5 minutes to write this original content. That’s like 10,000% more effort than the average repost on Reddit.

Thank you! This entire post is my little way of poking fun at the current state of things. It’s as if the market tries to set a singular narrative for new games/products and it’s very hard to provide honest feedback if it goes against the grain in any way.

How else will I know if I’m truly enjoying something? You seem like you know what you’re talking about.

You are right. I will keep the device. Thank you internet stranger!

I don’t have an iPad 😆

And the experience of using a dedicated device for the task seems more pleasant to me anyway. I did try the Backbone but it annoyingly required me to take the case off my phone every time I wanted to play.

You are right. Even though I’ve had an absolute blast using the PS Portal daily ever since i got it I have made the difficult decision to return it because the internet told me that it’s actually not good.

Most of my games are on PlayStation. The Steam Deck is clearly the more powerful and capable device, but it is also more expensive and I have no need for any of the extra features. I love the ergonomics of the PS Portal (even though it looks silly), the haptics, the huge screen, and it all comes with a seamless integration into the PlayStation ecosystem. Plus there is no need to take the case off of my phone every time I want to play it unlike the Backbone.

It’s definitely not for everyone but they call it a DadStation for a reason ☺️.
