I don't know if listless is the right word for me but I definitely struggle to jump into another big game after having just beaten a game if it's 50 hours +. I will usually put a shorter indie game in between, maybe take a week off to boot, and larger games will have a 1-2 month gap.
I just beat Octopath Traveller 2 weeks ago and it'll probably be another month before I get around to playing Jedi Survivor
I can't fathom why we need a Pro version of either console. We're barely getting to games that are solely made for this generation at all. Even if that weren't the case, diminishing returns at this point meant that even if the visuals could be...three times as sharp etc, would we even notice? Seems silly.
Make one that's smaller more energy efficient, maybe with a "streaming" mode for just using Netflix, larger SSD.
I'm sorry to hear that a dentist made you feel insecure. That sucks! Hopefully this new dentist is as personable as the reviews suggest.
I don't know if this helps but I would just steer into the skid. Don't feel bashful about the time in your life when you didn't take great care of your teeth. Confidently tell them! "These are the ways I've had issues, these are the ways I haven't taken ideal care of my teeth in the past. I wasn't comfortable at the previous dentist and I'm hoping for a fresh start." Hopefully they want to prove themselves to be sensitive and good at their jobs.
I agree with the sentiments written above as a "no voter". We have more access to each others opinions now but whenever I listen to a podcast from people who were of age on old message boards and 90's early internet people were just as negative and toxic.
As far as "cynical"...maybe? only because I understand that the average age of a gamer has risen over the years so it's possible that the "average" gamer is less naive with experience.
I wonder if they're going to make a related electric model like the Mustang Mach-E instead. Unfortunately sales of the Camaro dropped like a stone as far as I read.
None! I feel like when this type of topic is brought up it mostly refers to how much the content of a review discusses basics like the graphics, or gameplay mechanics vs. how the games story or themes made the reviewer feel. I've read very "nuts and bolts" reviews with comments underneath like "THANK YOU for sticking to giving us information on the game and not inserting a bunch of WOKE TRASH like everyone else does these days".
Thank you Rorie :) I'm sad GB is losing someone so important and integral to the site's DNA but I'm happy that you received an opportunity so good you had to take it. I hope I see hear you on a podcast again someday.
Plenty of big games (including the big games that people really like) come out in the fall because of Christmas Shopping season so I assume that there is an edge towards games that arrive later in the year. Off the top of my head I can think of several titles in the first half of the year of GB's GOTY lists so maybe there is no pattern. I'd be interested to see some sort of chart or graph.
