Ff16 sales struggled. Over 70% of rebirth gamers are over 30.
Time for SE to stop trying to appeal to the brain dead tiktok gen z crowd, they need to accept we paying the bills now

And apparently ps5 is increasing prices... worst time line. All these companies are raising the prices on literally everything
Blame all the AI slop companies jacking up the cost of memory and SSD's
My company asked me to budget out hardware to purchase back in late 2024. Were not a huge company but I was given a 500k to come up with a list of hardware we need to upgrade. I picked out 6 servers and a nice SAN with 40TB of SSD space. They approved it ~18 months later. In those 18 months, that shopping list got ***: 6 servers turned into 3, 40TB of SSD space turned into 18TB of SSD space and 20ish TB of HDD space.

Only one person to blame.

I mean. Yes and no. Without being allowed to expand.
Specifically cited raised price because of economic instability. That's one ***.
At the same time datacenters blackholing the entirety of hardware isn't helping.
It's also of very important note that consoles are loss leaders, to get you go buy games, and ps5 has been out for SIX YEARS and has less than a whole handful of games specific to PS5 to buy. It is failing at loss leading. This is the 3rd or 4th price increase, they've broken the unspoken contract.

EverQuest Legends is a reincarnation of the original 1999 version, with the same graphics, but designed for solo play
it's a very good question, and the answer is stupidity.
Why did anyone buy a ps5 at all. There's literally only ~10 games for it that you can't get on ps4 or pc.
yall got scammed.
(You don't need to explain why, I know why, the same reason you bought an iphone 13 and 14 and 15 and 16 and 17)

Its the 21st century version of longer, lower, wider.
Most of those games were only available on pc 12-18 months later
And i read sony wants to pull their games from the pc game market?
I need to find my source for that one though, i only glanced over since it didnt affect me (im not a poor without a ps5)

What is insane is the YouTube part of it.
I had to edit like 12h+ straight to get my 2 Plaything videos out, around 6 minutes long each, and they went very well for some underground and niche channel, raking 500 views each in this week.
But this 5 seconds AI slop, that maybe was created in like 5 minutes from a prompt, and apparently it is even unlisted on Youtube, got 500+ views in like 5 hours, and rising.
This means:
1) AI slop sells, and sells quite well.
2) someone is rolling the videos over and over somewhere
or
3) more than 500 people check this thread, even if just a handful actually post on it.

It makes so much money that OpenAI shut down Sora and scrapped a 1 billion deal with Disney
Well this is something substantial because in all gaming history they never increased the price over two times like this, years after release. There gotta be some kind of bubble thats gonna pop, thje way they are increasing prices like crazy on everything with no shame.
Man, 6 years later and a such a large increase

Someone uses an AI tool to make a video that gets a few thousand views and makes five times what the tool use cost him.
Maker of the AI tool gets a pittance for its use and nothing like residuals but pays two or three times that pittance for overhead.
Who goes broke?
Everyone because 32GB of memory, which is pretty much a consumer standard these says, costs more than a ps5

the current project of doing a Chainsaw Man recap is going smoothly.
Script done, now Im about to start the editing part.
I learned a couple of very interesting techniques that will help me reduce a lot the production time.
Those tools are so good to use that Ive decided my next project would be do a recap manga utility belt tool entirely using vibe code.
Currently I just have individual python scripts that do one or other thing (all those scrips vibe coded), but now I want they all together in a cohesive app, that will have an UI for em to manage the operations.
All this proccess will be recorded so you nerds can learn with the master dog how to vibe code like a pro.

Taking credit for something pretending to be an AI's work -Human Beings 2026.
You have been involved with people that are bad influence like Nynja, Ms Chatty.
Maybe that is why you still deny the light.
All I can say is that no living being won after picking a fight against nature.
Nature is the sovereign of our world.
Anyone who opposes nature is swiftly sweeped under the rug of history

Was the bus casually driving thru the gym in the background hallucinated by the AI or did you add it on purpose for comment bait?
*edit*
NVM, you added the prompt.
So the AI hallucinated the entire gym while you described more of a urban scene, hence the AI figured there needs to be a bus in the background?
