DragonRift 🎮🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🇺🇦 @dragonrift.bsky.social · 10hThe only way they will ever get our trust back is if they offer the ability to play our entire libraries natively on current-gen hardware, and lock our physical and digital purchases with permanent licenses that can be freely transferred. But aftet this level of damage so far? Oof... 110
DragonRift 🎮🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🇺🇦 @dragonrift.bsky.social · 10hSince we now know for a fact that the only reason they didn't offer it on new hardware was because they wanted to lock us into repurchasing our classics digitally. I mean, we all suspected it was bullshit, but it's nice to know we were right about it all along. 130
DragonRift 🎮🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🇺🇦 @dragonrift.bsky.social · 10hThis reliance on "always online" mechanics and oversaturated live service slop is biting them in the ass, and I'm loving every bit of it. Now they have to find a way to lure people back AFTER we all realize we were lied to about backwards compatible capabilities for 13 years. 130
DragonRift 🎮🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🇺🇦 @dragonrift.bsky.social · 10hEven as a PlayStation fan myself, I am so glad Sony is getting their shit thrown back at them. After they pissed EVERYONE off with their "end of physical" announcement back in July, they've been getting curb-stomped week after week. I mean, shit... we all thought Ken Kutaragi was bad 20 years ago. 120
DragonRift 🎮🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🇺🇦 @dragonrift.bsky.social · 10hNot to mention the embarrassing-as-fuck revelation that folks have successfully been able to run PS3 discs on PS5s, thus crushing their decade-long bullshit excuse that "PS3 games are too difficult to emulate on newer hardware." This whole thing is just mind-bogglingly hilarious at this point. 140
DragonRift 🎮🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🇺🇦 @dragonrift.bsky.social · 10hThese half-billion dollar budget projects keep dragging them under, because they aren't selling 5 million copies at launch, and when games are teetering around $70-$100 each, the collapse seems almost like a relief. Then you have the emulation/jailbreaking backlash Sony is getting hit with... 140
DragonRift 🎮🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🇺🇦 @dragonrift.bsky.social · 10hNo one is going to be racing out the door for a next gen console that's listed at $1400. AAA studios in the US are under severe scrutiny for their shitty treatment of their employees and constant layoffs. This holiday season is gonna be funny as fuck, because GTA6 isn't even gonna save them. 260
DragonRift 🎮🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🇺🇦 @dragonrift.bsky.social · 10hWell, it looks like that inevitable crash is finally on the horizon. While a lot of the blame is on the RAM shortage, these AAA companies deserve to land right in the crossfire. Sony and MS would be doing themselves a HUGE favor if they just halted PS6 and Helix development for at least decade.polygon.comHigh Console Prices Push Playstation and Xbox Sales to New LowsCircana data found that PlayStation and Xbox console sales are hitting new lows in 2026. 341
DragonRift 🎮🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🇺🇦 @dragonrift.bsky.social · 10/10/2026I look forward to the day when I no longer check my phone first thing after waking up to see if someone finally fucking died already. 190
DragonRift 🎮🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🇺🇦 @dragonrift.bsky.social · 06/10/2026So, I don't think we're quite ready for a corgi. Had a friend visit for the weekend, and this little monster took all the energy out of me. She's super loving, and crazy smart for a 1 year-old, but she runs at light speed and wants to play whenever I move. 🤣 Still love her! 🥰 281
DragonRift 🎮🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🇺🇦 @dragonrift.bsky.social · 06/10/2026We had a visitor this weekend. Two pictures. Same vibe. 030

DragonRift 🎮🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🇺🇦 @dragonrift.bsky.social · 30/09/2026My wife and I always struggle with the first few hours of The Witcher 3. The music and outdoor sounds are the most diabolical combination. I pass out while exploring White Orchard every goddamn time. It's so damn peaceful! 😆 040
DragonRift 🎮🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🇺🇦 @dragonrift.bsky.social · 30/09/2026God.... damn. Guys, even if you haven't touched your OG physical PS4 copy from 2015 in a hot decade, this is free. FREE. Like, holy crap, this might derail my horror gaming plans for the month of October. 150
DragonRift 🎮🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🇺🇦 @dragonrift.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Ahhh, I remember street breaks in competitions! 😆 F'ing hated working retail during those times. And if I remember correctly, Nintendo was a little under fire for hardware shortages during the first holiday season. At least in the controller department, because holy hell were they hard to get! 110
DragonRift 🎮🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🇺🇦 @dragonrift.bsky.social · 29/09/2026By asking it that way, you're insinuating that Kamala would have gone completely rogue, initiated a war with Iran, knowing damn full and well that it would cripple the oil industry, thus sending our international relations in a death spiral. I really hope you aren't, and I'm just misreading. 200
DragonRift 🎮🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🇺🇦 @dragonrift.bsky.social · 29/09/2026There is not going to be a "quick fix" to this. It's going to take decades. But if we keep sitting here, getting mad at a candidate "becuase Gaza!" and only that, more and more people are going to lose their rights here at home. This stance isn't helping anyone. 100
DragonRift 🎮🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🇺🇦 @dragonrift.bsky.social · 29/09/2026I do not support establishment dems, and never will. The centrists especially. However, "punishing" the party by letting a rabid right-winger take over does more damage than "getting those pesky dems to lesrn." The people suffer because of it. Progressives are winning in other districts. 100
DragonRift 🎮🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🇺🇦 @dragonrift.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Did Biden initiate any hostilities at other nations without Congress' approval? Gaza isn't the only victim, and Israel isn't stopping with them. This administration is far more buddy-buddy with Bibi. Then there's Elon gutting USAID. You really believe Kamala would have done the exact same thing? 200
DragonRift 🎮🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🇺🇦 @dragonrift.bsky.social · 29/09/2026The middle east has more civilian casualties because of this administration. Kamala wouldn't have kicked the hornets nest. There would be more active accountability with her administration than the one who now just ignores everything. We wouldn't have Hegseth or Rubio. We wouldn't have RFK. 100
DragonRift 🎮🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🇺🇦 @dragonrift.bsky.social · 29/09/2026We are here because people were angry that Kamala wasn't hard enough on Israel, and didn't bother voting.... ... and in return we have the international shitshow we're in now. At least we could have held Kamala's feet to the fire. 200
DragonRift 🎮🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🇺🇦 @dragonrift.bsky.social · 29/09/2026We are here now because millions didn't vote. I will 100% blame them. No one is invalidating the fact that both parties are trash, and progression needs to be pushed harder. But their lack of a vote put the dumbest fucking sack of shit back in office to derail 80+ years of progress. 300
DragonRift 🎮🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🇺🇦 @dragonrift.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Started with the old Video Pinball and Atari 2600 when I was like 4. The coolest thing about gaming is that everyone has their own beginning. We all have our own precious memories. 010
DragonRift 🎮🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🇺🇦 @dragonrift.bsky.social · 29/09/2026We need to get the true garbage out first before we can successfully weed out the rest. 201
DragonRift 🎮🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🇺🇦 @dragonrift.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Again, not disagreeing with her. But if her intention is to get blue voters to NOT vote, and let the republican candidate win as a "punishment," that makes it far worse. Yeah, Kamala wasn't very defensive of Gaza either, but folks who ditched her gave them something a thousand times worse. 100
DragonRift 🎮🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🇺🇦 @dragonrift.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Ohhh, I remember that one. I had to deal with the barrage of parents, angry that we'd have such "vulgar filth" in the games section, no matter how many times I'd explain the rating system to them. 😂 That and Conker's Bad Fur Day bring back all the memories. 010
DragonRift 🎮🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🇺🇦 @dragonrift.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Whether she's right is irrelevant here. Jill is known to blow the whistle to muddy the waters just weeks before every major election, and it's only used to divert and split blue voters. She only helps Republicans with this tactic, and she knows it. If she were serious, she'd be year-round yelling 200
DragonRift 🎮🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🇺🇦 @dragonrift.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Yeah, the very first time I got to try Super Mario 64 was at Toys R Us, about a week before the console launch, and the level of "HOLY SHIT, THIS IS REAL?!?!" excitement was immeasurable. Nothing has topped that for me. 010
DragonRift 🎮🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🇺🇦 @dragonrift.bsky.social · 29/09/2026I honestly wish today's gamers could experience this level of amazement when it came to technological leaps in games. Back then, so many developers were experimenting with new ideas and concepts, as the leap from 2D to 3D exploded everywhere. The PS1/N64/90s PC era was impossibly blissful. 2376
DragonRift 🎮🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🇺🇦 @dragonrift.bsky.social · 29/09/2026I've always had love for the "weird shaped" consoles. We used to joke when we were younger about how we used to be able to stack the older, rectangular/cuboid consoles on top of each other. 😆 110
DragonRift 🎮🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🇺🇦 @dragonrift.bsky.social · 29/09/2026I missed out on the gold OoT cart, but was thankful ebough to have acquired the Majora'd Mask one! The SNES was (and still is) one of my favorite consoles, and seeing the N64 blow my expectations out of the water is something I don't think I'll ever experience again. 010
DragonRift 🎮🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🇺🇦 @dragonrift.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Man, the vitriol that was thrown around back then over that. 😂 To be fair, as a die-hard PS1 lover myself, their first few years were Indeed pretty rough with the load times. Though, some games got clever with it, like Symphony of the Night! 😅 010
DragonRift 🎮🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🇺🇦 @dragonrift.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Soooooo many hours blown on Mario Kart and GoldenEye alone. I still regret never buying Diddy Kong Racing. 120
DragonRift 🎮🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🇺🇦 @dragonrift.bsky.social · 29/09/202630 years today. THIRTY. 😐 I was 18 when this thing dropped, and it was the very first console I bought on my own. ... with my very first paycheck from Blockbuster Video. Mock the technical limitations all you want, this thing delivered some of the best party gaming experiences of my life. 2445349
DragonRift 🎮🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🇺🇦 @dragonrift.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Dude, nice shout-outs to Blaster Master and 7th Guest. Blaster Master especially tickled my Metroid fanaticism being that very few NES games offered that level of side-scrolling exploration. 110
DragonRift 🎮🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🇺🇦 @dragonrift.bsky.social · 28/09/2026VI is my favorite, but IV was the first RPG that I ever played that had a deep narrative. Like, here I was... a kid completely blown away that my video game was telling a story like a book. Complete with dialogue and emotionally-driven music. State-of-the-art shit back then. 110
DragonRift 🎮🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🇺🇦 @dragonrift.bsky.social · 28/09/2026This was a bit harder to compile than I had expected. 😅 It was extremely difficult to leave Castlevania III, Phantasy Star IV, StarCraft and a few others off this list. my9games.net/en 150
DragonRift 🎮🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🇺🇦 @dragonrift.bsky.social · 28/09/2026How the hell did we reach the point where simply adding money via an app was so inconvenient they had to make a tap function on your controller instead? The human race is in serious need of a factory reset. 000
DragonRift 🎮🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🇺🇦 @dragonrift.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Man, RE9 was fucking amazing. I really want to go back and go for the Platinum, but something else has my attention, so those replays will have to wait. 😜 021
DragonRift 🎮🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🇺🇦 @dragonrift.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Oh look! A wild Jill Stein appears conveniently just in time for the midterms. Can we please throw this stupid, ignorant fucking slug into a fucking salt mine? People like her are the reason no one fucking takes third parties seriously. 491
DragonRift 🎮🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🇺🇦 @dragonrift.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Dammit! Finger slipped and accidentally hit that pesky "repost" button. Sorry, Garrett. Once I figure out how to undo it, I'll act accordingly. Not now, though. I need to get ready for work... and catch up on some sleep afterwards. Then I gotta mow the lawn, run some errands... 12621
DragonRift 🎮🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🇺🇦 @dragonrift.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Right?! I mean, look, I have nothing against separate game merch being sold. I buy that goofy stuff all the time. But asking people to fork over $400, and STILL not at least including the game itself is dirty as fuck. 100
DragonRift 🎮🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🇺🇦 @dragonrift.bsky.social · 26/09/2026$400. Game still sold separately. Ya know, if this were 2016, this would be $200, and it would come with a steel book copy of the game. I take my earlier gripe back about the physical soundtrack being sold. THIS is the official equivalent of Rockstar teabagging its fanbase. 230
DragonRift 🎮🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🇺🇦 @dragonrift.bsky.social · 23/09/2026This is rapidly becoming one of my favorite entries in the Resident Evil franchise. So far, Requiem is just nailing every beat, and it's not letting up. Definitely excited to replay this one multiple times. 😁 031
DragonRift 🎮🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🇺🇦 @dragonrift.bsky.social · 22/09/2026I mean, I guess? 🫤 I despise Ubisoft, but I would trust them with the Halo IP over Activision any day. You know they're gonna pump and flood endless live service trash, and goofy outfit/weapon skins for their multiplayer. The AAA industry desperately needs an enema. 111
DragonRift 🎮🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🇺🇦 @dragonrift.bsky.social · 22/09/2026And yes, I know Halo has pretty much been on a thin trickle of life support for over a decade, so being excited for ANYTHING Halo lately is asking a lot. But this? The fucking Call of Duty guys are in charge of the next one? If you wanted to throw acid in the faces of your fans, well, here ya go. 140
DragonRift 🎮🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🇺🇦 @dragonrift.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Ya know, the way things have been going with gaming news this past summer, Nintendo just might as well light up a fat blunt, and simply twirl around in their office chair for the next few years, because... ... oy... 😐 171
DragonRift 🎮🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🇺🇦 @dragonrift.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Next video: "It rains inside my house now! 😦" 110
DragonRift 🎮🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🇺🇦 @dragonrift.bsky.social · 21/09/2026AAAAAHH!!!! God, I fucking LOVED these games back when I was in high school. YES, I own them on my SNES. YES, I have them installed on my SNES Mini. So YES, I'm gonna buy these again. 😝 042
