General Discussion / Re: Age Verification??????
Last post by targetrasp - May 11, 2026, 09:45:22 PMI love how they're coaxing us into this. It sounds benign and aimed at protecting the young. No way could government overreach or corporate shenanigans take hold! Google is already serving the Koolaid out to the masses.
Google Search for Video Game Age Verification:
"Key Aspects of Video Game Age Verification in 2026:
Platforms Affected: PlayStation 4/5, Roblox, Minecraft, and various online services are tightening controls.
Verification Methods: Methods include scanning a government-issued photo ID (driver's license, passport) or using facial age estimation software provided by services like Yoti.
Locked Features: Unverified users, or those identified as children, may lose access to party chat, voice chat, web messaging, and user-generated content (UGC).
Regional Focus: Initial rollouts heavily affect the UK due to the Online Safety Act, with expansion to the US (including New York) and other regions underway.
Single-Player Exception: Generally, age verification is required for online communication and mature content, but single-player games can often still be played"

Last post by Mai Valentine - May 11, 2026, 03:22:36 PMNothing. AI data centers are extremely bad for the environment and are contributing to the rising cost of PC parts and water shortages. Things like ChatGPT and Grok don't have real answers, they are just regurgitating an general answer based on aggregate data (that can be incorrect).
But mostly, imo AI devalues art. Why should I watch a video that someone couldn't be bothered to create on their own.

Sony - PlayStation 5 (PS5), PlayStation 4 (PS4), PS Vita, and PlayStation 3 (PS3) / Re: Sony could delay PS6 relea...
Last post by Mai Valentine - May 11, 2026, 03:09:06 PMThe cost of consoles keeps going up but I feel like the games aren't noticeably better. Maybe you can see more details in hyper realistic graphic styles but gameplay trumps graphics, and many games forget that. From Sony exclusives, I loved Uncharted 1-3 but when Uncharted 4 came out, I struggled to finish it because it felt like they put so much effort into looking fancy that they neglected other aspects of the game. The puzzles weren't as good, and the combat was boring (and there was too much of it so it was really tedious).
Additionally, in the last generation, most of the really notable PS5 (and Xbox) games were later available on Steam. So to me the only gaming systems I need are a good PC and a Nintendo system because they are doing things that other companies aren't.
