Ugh, Twitch needs to just get someone to draw an official pogchamp, whatever the fuck that is, and be done with it. This is really stupid.

Since Project Athia still has “Project” in the name, I’m expecting the 2022 window to slip a few times.

I’ll be playing PS5 Hunter 2: Scalper’s Paradise.

Wouldn’t want it any other way. Packing in a Li-ion battery adds cost to the (already $60) controller, and with constant struggles for Right to Repair, manufacturers aren’t often forthcoming in providing replacement parts.

I guess people basically have to make the GPUs they have now go further than they already were, given it’s been pretty hard finding new gaming hardware at fair prices. Were RTX cards even real to begin with?

Oh shoot, that reminds me, I need to do that.

This is the year Nintendo lost steam, in the way of software, at least. They had Animal Crossing come at the best time for them, Paper Mario Sticker Star 3 Origami King, before wrapping up the Spring with a hard drought of 1st party titles for nearly the entire Summer. We’ll see 2 games from Nintendo in Q1 2021, and…

Every day I’m more and more glad I didn’t buy into the stupid amount of hype.

Start the death timer.

I guess this is what happens when your game stays in development for too long, when the markets shift to emphasize better visuals and newer hardware, but you’ve already made a commitment to last gen consoles that you have to keep.

Whatever. Who knows if Project Athia is even going to be an actual game in the next 5 years, so why even care whether it’s exclusive or not? I bet this shadow exclusivity deal will probably change by then, too.

I dunno what to think about the Steam release, with Koei Tecmo’s Omega Force being involved. The vast majority of their PC ports are generally not that great.

Ew

Yeah, it’s totally just server shenanigans. Whenever they do ultimately wind things down, they’d give a heads up at least 5 months in advance.

It’s incredibly noticeable, even when just doing mundane crap on a PC. Everything becomes butter.

Funny you mention Chromecast, as the new version they put out won’t get official support for Stadia until sometime next year. Their rollouts of Stadia just don’t really make much sense.

Well, not really, for 2 reasons. One, DMCA (pages 4 and 5). And second, good luck to to the poor sap against Nintendo’s lawyers.

That was off the table the moment 2K and Rockstar realized GTA Online can practically print money.

If we’re gonna get nit-picky, there’s certain knives you can’t sell, so in a way, yeah.

That would be super hard to do, for a company like Nintendo that’s incredibly hostile towards anything outside its supply chain. When you open up your system to run unsigned code, you can do pretty much anything with it; even if piracy isn’t the intention of the RCM loader reseller, they’ll have a hard time arguing…
