I just learned that only half of people can blur their vision on command.

I just tried and I can do this but it's really hard. Like I look at something closer to me mentally, but I force myself to keep my eyes from moving. Very hard to maintain.

wait this something people can't do. This is easy for me

You do just have to stop and appreciate how incredible sci fi all of this is. That modern AI is even a thing. Go back ten years ago and any of this stuff would freaking sound like magic.

And now, actually living in it, all the faults are so annoying haha.

shall we take bets on how long marathon will last?

I think marathon will do ok. The latest gameplay looks much better, but it still has a lot of competition that will hurt it, I think.

It feels funny that it felt like a big belief that games would have to become more multiplatform as they got bigger. So it felt like it was necessary for Sony to go multiplatform, to the point that people were expecting Nintendo to also have to go multiplatform in a generation or two. 

Now it seems like Microsoft and Sony are pulling back from that a bit. (At least I get the impression from the new MS leadership, that they're reevaluating.)

i would personally love if all of MS games came to playstation but 100% the fact they put all their games on other platforms is why their platform collapsed.

i nearly bought an xbox when MS was busy acquiring activision and there was a pretty good sale on a series S.   people buy hardware to play games.  which games a platform has (or doesn't have) is a top 3 deciding factor.  when era is busy trying to convience everyone to buy PCs over consoles the two top reasons are:
1. all of MS and Sony's games are coming to PC
2. you don't have to pay for ps+

i feel like era is incredibly stupid not to reconize that sony is not trying to find ways to get you to spend less money on sony's products and services.   they want you to spend more.  there are literaly tens of thousand of posts on era that say:
1. porting games to PC has no affect on consoles
2. i don't need to buy a console because the games are on PC...

it's just massively frustrating levels of deliberate ignorance made only worse because era refuses to recognize the PC/Steam fanboy "platform warriors" as what they are.   write one word of anything about xbox or playstation and you're banned for life.  do the same for steam and you are celebrated..

If there was a cancelation GoY would be the most obvious candidate.  as stated above there really aren't that many games left to port without remastering a game from their backlog. 

...

bloomberg reporting that GoY PC-port was canceled.

I think it'll do ok. I think bungie will pull it off. They will struggle, maybe be tempted to shut it down, but instead they'll keep investing in it and grow a community.

i do think atreus was casted wrong. 

He was in the new season of The Night Agent. Yeah he doesn't feel like the best fit.

Was your point that the cast for kratos was wrong?

i'm not going so far as to say that based on 1 screenshot.   i'm just saying that 1 screenshot fails to capture the moment of the game and imo it's less about him not looking like kratos (costume) and more about him not having an good portrayal of kratos in that moment (facial expression).

i do think atreus was casted wrong.
