  • May Savings promotion comes to PlayStation Store – PlayStation.Blog
  • Sorry my comment was written poorly, I meant it was my fave Bethesda published game from last year. It really did surprise me how good it was.

  • Watch Dogs Series is Dead and Buried, It's Claimed - Insider Gaming
  • Google and killing good apps?

    Okay I can only think of Inbox right now but still.

  • May Savings promotion comes to PlayStation Store – PlayStation.Blog
  • Definitely grab it, played it on Xbox last year and it turned out to be one of my games. Certainly my fave Bethesda published game that's for sure, sorry Starfield.

  • The Sega Dreamcast
  • Oh I definitely don't disagree, FF7, Resident Evil and Metal Gear Solid all cemented PlayStation as a force to be reckoned with for suren and can be considered killer apps. I just remember for me getting a PlayStation personally being just wowed by the likes of Crash Bandicoot and Tekken. Fond memories for sure!

  • The Sega Dreamcast
  • PlayStation's killer app was likely Crash Bandicoot as that game paved the way for Sony (games like Wipeout, Ridge Racer and Tekken helped too) and gave them some real momentum, it just got better from there. I still remember playing the Demo of Crash and being absolutely blown away.

    By the time FF7 released, the Nintendo 64 had launched so that probably contributed to the Saturn's downfall as well.

  • The Sega Dreamcast
  • I'm pretty sure I read or saw a documentary that basically said the downfall of Sega started with Sega of Japan starting to take more control and override Sega of America. I think that's how we ended up with the Sega Saturn and the failure of that console really didn't help the Dreamcast at all.

  • Supermarket facial recognition trial: Rotorua mother’s ‘discrimination’ ordeal
  • Yeah same, that's some kiwi ingenuity shit right there.

  • Aotearoa Daily Kōrero 6/4/2023
  • Been a pretty good day. Went out for morning tea then came home, played games and now watching Fellowship of the Ring with my wife as she hated it when it first came out but has since got into fantasy things so wanted to give it another chance.

  • Families ‘hung out to dry’ by new restrictions on disability support
  • Yeah I can understand why rich selfish assholes would vote conservative. It always baffles me that struggling lower class dumb asses do it though.

  • Let's see them Lemmy.
  • Some would say bloppy!

  • Let's see them Lemmy.

  • Well I suppose 1 drop is okay especially since it'll be dry by the time you leave haha

  • Aotearoa Daily Kōrero 20/2/2024
  • I'm kinda tired today. But I went for a walk this morning and feel a bit better now. Just want to go home and practice some guitar and drums.

  • Any pee is too much. But I don't have kids so I can't talk.

    Reading that first question though I was like "Huh?!"

  • Persona 3 Reload sold 1 million copies worldwide within its first week, becoming the fastest selling game in Atlus history
  • Lol the game comes with major trigger warnings the moment you boot it up, not to mention it's not for kids.

    But damn, stay away from the likes of Doki Doki Literature Club if you think this game is bad.

  • Game Pass Ultimate seems to be back on MS Rewards Program!!

    This is for AUS/NZ but I do know it disappeared worldwide from the MS Rewards program around when the price increase was announced so I was pleasantly surprised to see it back on there and for the same amount of points as before.

    What are the benefits to the US Electoral College system?

    So I'm a New Zealander and I have a pretty good idea on how the electoral college system works but it honestly sounds like something that can be easily corrupted and it feels like it renders the popular vote absolutely useless unless I'm totally missing something obvious?

    So yeah if someone could explain to me what the benefits of such a system are, that would be awesome.

    Edit - Thanks for the replies so far, already learning a lot!
