If it’s anything like the first one, I’ll definitely say that it is a dense game that seems impenetrable, but I was able to replay it as an adult over thirty with limited gaming time and found it to be one of the more enjoyable gaming experiences in recent years. I know that doesn’t make sense, but it’s a game that…

Nah, you’re dead wrong. I can play Cyberpunk on Medium/High settings at 30fps no problem. It looks great, and runs well. Same goes for RDR2. As far as battery life goes, I’m not a binge player, so only getting an hour and a half is more than enough for me. I usually don’t play games for more than an hour at a time,…

Those games seem like they’re good enough to play with a performance hit. The fact that the Deck can play them really says a lot about how good the hardware is.

In a time when games can be nearly deleted from existence when a contractual agreement expires, or when one company buys another, everyone should absolutely be against going cloud only.

Yeah, I buy most of my games digitally, but at least I can start them up regardless of what the man who owns the data center says.

Looks like they took some tips from the Monster Hunter team

David Zaslav is a cancer that will destroy anything remotely creative if it doesn't give his precious shareholders a chubby in terms of profit

I remember seeing that original pitch video of the Switch and thinking “oh my god this is what I’ve always wanted” and guess what? It was everything I ever wanted.

I know I say this every time, but Nintendo is the only company that truly understands handhelds. Everyone else, from the GameGear to the Vita has tried selling portable consoles, not realizing that what people really want are portable games. Games designed around small screens and short play sessions.

And at least MMOs had things to do that were actually fun.

I mean all the models I’ve seen suggested for NFTs in gaming just can’t feasibly exist. That what they’re peddling doesn’t work has never really seemed to be a barrier for these people. They’ll slam their heads against those walls as if they weren’t there and then wonder why nothing has changed except for the fact…

This is exactly right. These kind of games need fun people, creative people, and lots of people, which are exactly what you exclude when you put any significant price tag on it, especially as those people will usually want to bring friends, because they actually have friends, unlike most tech types. $150 would be…

Just how is this still a thing? How are there enough people that (at least think they) can afford to lose that much money AND have that much money AND are that stupid to keep this charade of undercooked, obvious scam bullshit still going? Between this, King Techbro Elon losing millions over Twitter for the lulz, and…

I certainly missed the boat by not investing in NFTs. I just got the annual report for my total market index fund and boy am I upset. Nowhere in this entire document does it mention anything about how I can use this investment vehicle as a digital avatar in a virtual paradise. My father warned me. He said, “mutual…

Okay, this is goddamn stupid. Yes Balatro uses poker as a starting mechanism. There is no actual gambling.

The $70k price tag is for exclusivity.

Clubhouse Games 51, a Nintendo game, has actual gambling in it.

This whole deal, is, by far, the dumbest fucking thing I’ve ever seen in my 34 years of existence. What in the actual fuck is this, and what kind of absolute fucking imbecile would pay for any of this? What is this for? What is the purpose? What are you even “playing”?

Oh, that last bit is definitely a part of it. And if they’re smart, they don’t actually say it out loud, like my old employer did.

Return to office mandates are patently stupid without some sort of flexibility.  Not everyone is most productive in the office, not everyone is most productive at home.  After ten years of working from home I’m not exactly “yearning” to get back to an office, but it’d be nice to do once or twice a week. I work in a…
