  • Yeah, I think I’ve only bought one or two PS5 exclusives since I got mine around October 2020. Demon Souls remake and Horizon Forbidden West (though the latter is now available on Steam).

    That said, I still think I’ve gotten a good amount of value out of the console by reaping the Patient Gamer™ rewards by picking up many of the major PS3/PS4 titles during good sales. I didn’t play many video games during the PS3/PS4 era, so I missed out on quite a few major releases. I’ve accumulated a pretty great digital library with some fantastic games for a relatively small amount of money (which, like my Steam library, I’ve only actually played a fraction of).

    As an aside, probably my favorite PS5 exclusive has just been the free Astro Bot game. The haptics in the DualSense controller are frankly cool as hell, and I hope more games utilize them going forward.











  • Their products suck. Their markup is excessive and makes their products cost far more than the equivalent meat products.

    This seems overly harsh to me. I’ve bought plenty of Beyond products (and Impossible, and Morning Star, and many other plant-based meat alternative brands) over the years and I’ve found them to be fine in terms of quality. I haven’t bought them in a while, but I don’t recall them being particularly more expensive than the other plant-based meats in the grocery store. Though I virtually always wait for those to go on a good sale before I buy them.

    Since plant-based alternatives are competing with the meat industry, which is heavily subsidized to keep meat costs artificially low, I wouldn’t say it’s fair to say Beyond’s products being more expensive than regular meat is why their business is failing. Other plant-based meats I’ve tried have generally always been more expensive than regular meat.









  • A wojak image can’t really refute anything; it’s just depicting the original poster as being a seething dumbass (an ad hominem response). If the poster accompanies said wojak image with a counterargument, that could refute something, but most wojak responses don’t bother with actually making any kind of salient point. Which is why it’s such a popular format: it’s low effort.

    Edit: Realizing the error in my argument, I have included the following addendum:
