Lack of NSA funding to run their man in the middle platform that everyone likes.

Well it requires a verified source for the data. I don’t see why it excludes open source at all.

It’s 2018 by a long way for me.

They took out most of the “rargh, Kratos smash!” angst of the previous games and gave us a heartfelt tale of a father and son. The viking setting is a great change of pace. The gameplay is obviously different, but not in a way that’s worse. And the optional post game enemies are a real challenge. Sigrun especially is on par with anything I’ve faced in the Souls games.

I did have to suffer some of the worst pronunciation of Icelandic I’ve ever heard in my life. It’s almost worth it to see my wife wince every time somebody says Niðavellir in GoW Ragnarok.

No thanks, we don’t want it.

I’ll likely “lose” some money from my index tracker funds when it happens, but bring it on. I know billionaires will lose a lot more than I will.

Independent Hazelight please. I don’t want to give money to Trumpists or Oil-men.

I can’t think of anyone else they own (and haven’t shut down) that I still give a fuck about. Maybe Criterion still have potential.

Yeah, no point.

Be like preserving a printout of a steam code.

Round edges and a Windows Vista era soft blur?

I can’t think of anything more generically Apple…

Performance, but Death Stranding 2 looks weird (really washed out) in that so I left it on quality. It’s not a fast paced game, so I’m ok with that.

I mean, that’s what publishers have been charging money for for way too long.

There’s been like three versions of The Last of Us 1, and I’ve got games older than that on my back list.

Or Bayonetta.

I don’t know how Randy manages it.

There’s so much competition these days, yet somehow his crack team of developers manage to keep him at number one in the list of “Biggest Cunts in Gaming”.

It’s honestly impressive. I had no intention of buying this because I think his games are all wank, but fuck him anyway.

Reminder that supporting a single GPU is a lot simpler than supporting all of them…

Quelle surprise.

They surrendered when they thought day one console buyers and people who liked gimmicky dance game peripherals were one and the same, and never really caught back up.

Since then they’ve been pushing Game Pass hard, but that mythical era where you’d just need a TV, internet and a gamepad just never arrived for them. Streaming games is probably fine for a lot of casual gamers, but the casual gamers are already on mobile and tend to spend very little on games. Far too little for Game Pass Ultimate to make sense for them.

And I’m really unconvinced that day one Game Pass games are sustainable. Even with their piss-poor output over the last few years.

I also don’t like that games are no longer going down much in price over time. It seems everyone is far too happy to leave things at launch price to make subscriptions and crap sales seem like better value.

Is “engagement” just weaselspeak for “advertisements”?

Sometimes.

They mostly make money though.

THIS GAME WILL MAKE YOU CUM IN 30 SECONDS!

I hope not mate, I’m on the bus.

They’re all NFT based asset flips, aren’t they?

As predicted, here comes the Trumper Youth.

Watch him insist on it being run by Truth Social, and be filled with noisy cunt videos of immigrants being hilariously deported at gunpoint.
