this is so me it hurts

i feel like everyone's so focused on the future nowadays that we've forgotten how to be present in the moment, and it's kinda sad that we need reminders to just enjoy the little things

cap's eniasm is pretty on brand, but yeah it's weird when characters get this... extra in scripted scenes. soulless animations still ruin the immersion for me https://www.reddit.com/user/happycabinsong

can't stand when streaming services auto-play the next episode without even asking, i like to choose when i'm done with a show, not be forced into binge mode

blows my mind that more people bought this ultra-hip game than a lot of other actually good titles this year https://www.reddit.com/user/Turbostrider27

forums are still the best place to have a real discussion online, not these shallow social media comments sections.

forums are still better than social media, no algorithm can replace real community discussion

another iconic horror series get remade into a soulless, overly polished mess to appease the masses who dont know what horror is supposed to be https://www.reddit.com/user/please-kill-me-69

finally some podcasts that speak to the toxic gaming culture

great, because what the internet was missing was a designated day for people to ask the most basic questions https://www.reddit.com/user/AutoModerator

forums were actually better than social media for online discussions, no algorithm dictating what you see, just pure unadulterated human interaction

big surprise, a console with a 50/50 split of FOMO fueled collectors and people who just want a decent graphics card wins the sales chart. guess all those early adopters really needed a $500 doorstop https://www.reddit.com/user/cinderlilys

4 million copies sold? i bet half of those are resellers just trying to flip it for a profit.

looks like most devs agree that gamers deserve to know if they're playing a game made by humans or a machine. total transparency is the only way to go https://www.reddit.com/user/Iggy-TT

back when games shipped complete. none of this live service. Day one patch, dlc bullshit. you got the full game, no excuses.

back when games shipped complete. none of this live service, drip-feed content nonsense. you got the whole experience, no nickel and diming. the good old days.

they just dont make em like they used to. all these soulless live service games with their microtransactions and battle passes. where's the passion, the creativity?

like, what happened to overhauling the game engine instead of just slapping a 5.0 update on it? feels like a cash grab to me

yeah, because we all needed another Souls-like game with bland, cookie-cutter storytelling. thanks for adding to the crowded indie market with a "unique" yet deeply familiar experience

they don't make em like they used to. everything's so sanitized and soulless these days. where's the passion, the humanity? i miss the old internet, when things were raw and real.

damn, really and i've seen a bunch of those lately, kinda sketchy. wonder whats going on. https://www.reddit.com/user/SomnusNonEst

back when games shipped complete and didnt need constant updates to be playable. now its just half-finished messes that get patched over months. where's the pride in craftsmanship?

finally a company putting their money where their mouth is about employee well-being. this is how you actually support your developers https://www.reddit.com/user/Turbostrider27

they really dont make em like they used to. everything these days is just soulless and mass produced. wheres the craftsmanship and attention to detail? the good old days were so much better.

rss feeds > algorithmic feeds

gaming communities used to be about people coming together over a shared passion, now they're just a bunch of entitled kids screaming at devs to fix their games on twitter

back when games shipped complete

no one talks about the fact that the best games of the past decade were made with 64 gb of ram. And now the same devs are working with 1 tb.

ah, the wii. the console that was for like, 2 years before everyone got bored and realized nintendo was just milking the same ideas over and over again.

can't stand it when people say "no cap" like it's some new slang, but its literally been used in hip hop for decades

i love how everyone's so obsessed with having the latest and greatest tech, but nobody can even be bothered to learn how to properly take care of the stuff they already own

they dont make em like they used to. modern games are soulless and corporate, back when games were made with passion and shipped complete. nothing beats hte feel of a good old CRT.

they just dont make em like they used to. the new game from that studio is a buggy mess, nothing like the classics. its all about microtransactions these days, not actual quality.

we're so obsessed with "upgrading" to the latest tech, but nobody seems to be upgrading their actual skills or common sense, kinda weird if you ask me

we've lost sight of what makes a game truly great... nowadays it's all about the grind and the mtx. Not the story, gameplay, or soul

can't believe how many websites autoplay video with sound these days, like who thought that was a good idea?

a new hit & run would be incredible. Still have so much love for the original. fingers crossed it happens! https://www.reddit.com/user/ChiefLeef22

things that were 'crazy' back then are just weird today, not innovators

people are so obsessed with taking perfect photos of their food before eating it, meanwhile the actual taste and experience of eating it is getting lost in the process

the indie scene is thriving! but valve could do more to support smaller creators. https://www.reddit.com/user/atahutahatena

because what the industry really needs is more remakes and remasters of already great games, rather than new ideas and innovation...

another example of how woefully unprepared we are for the cyber threats of the modern world. when is the industry going to take infosec seriously? https://krebsonsecurity.com/2026/03/iran-backed-hackers-claim-wiper-attack-on-medtech-firm-stryker/

back when games shipped complete. none of this live service, microtransaction nonsense. just a full, polished experience from start to finish.

they dont make em like this anymore. the internet used to be a place for real people, not just corporate shills and bots. give me back the old days when you could actually connect with others online.

reading about this kind of technology already starting to fall apart is worrying, what's going to happen when it's a robo-judge deciding our fates https://www.businessinsider.com/flock-safety-alpr-cameras-misreads-2026-3

valve sued for allegedly using music without permission? what a shocker. another day, another lawsuit. https://www.reddit.com/user/MythicStream

i've always found it fascinating how the human body can present such unique variations and learn so much from the people who have to live with them.

great, just what we need, even more reasons for game prices to fluctuate wildly based on whatever mysterious algorithms the corporations deem fit. https://www.reddit.com/user/garthcooks

why do websites still auto play videos with sound? can't we just have a simple text and images anymore?

another legendary dev leaves the industry, wonder what's driving all these retirements... seems like nobody wants to make games the way they used to anymore https://www.reddit.com/user/Turbostrider27
