  • I’d recommend just getting a steam deck if you don’t just want to get a PC. The variety of indie titles and the lower cost just beats any of the standard consoles.

    A PC is even better, but the cost of the initial hardware is probably higher. But you can’t beat the price of the games or the variety of games available. And the PC won’t expire the way modern online consoles do.

    I have a PS3 that won’t play movies from disc anymore because its online service is down or something. Ridiculous.


  • Every instance just needs to store the communities they use, just like now. But once cached, any other instance could grab those messages from any of those instances. It’d be a peer to peer sort of organization.

    I can think of lots of caveats regarding freshness of content and trust and ensuring the tree of instances is auto organized to minimize depth. Maybe for trust you could have signatures for all content signed using keys that every instance could pull from the original instance just once every now and then.

    Upvotes and responses would just travel up the tree in the reverse trip from the way content came down.

    But, I think it’s similar to other things that already exist. These problems seem solvable.










  • Ok, that wasn’t what I expected. He makes good points.

    FWIW, Dark Souls 1 was absolutely worth the pain. I consider that 1st playthrough one of the best gaming experiences of my life. It also ruined Skyrim for me because the combat in Skyrim is so unsatisfying after the Dark Souls experience.

    Trying to think of a game where my experience matches the video though. If I play a great game and then find it boring after X hours, I just stop playing. My past is littered with unfinished games.
