an OLED is not a “new switch”, technically, and the only people buying it are either the holdouts or the loyalists. In any case the loyalists will buy whatever as they have always done, and the holdouts will feel like they must, once again, hold out for five years after the switch 2 

oh, i also did a no kill run. once you lock into the rhythm of the game, the AI is far, far, too easy to exploit. which was why i got bored.

That’s not an example of price fixing. Price fixing is a conspiratorial, secret, agreement made between two or more competitive corporations to maintain prices at a certain level. The purpose of this is to eliminate competition and control the consumer’s choice. What is being discussed above would be for a seller to…

it accommodated me to the point of boredom. i mastered that game to the point where i felt like i was breaking it. it’s like it was made for kids. 

Same problem with dishonoured. Once you get over the oppressive psychological atmosphere you realize you’re a god tier killing machine in a world that’s designed to not just be exploited, but actively accommodate you. 

ol Bobby was never a looker, but i’ve gotta say that’s the absolutely most disturbing photo of him that i’ve seen to date.

The new temperatures are not outside the range of acceptable temperatures for these kind of components-based on long established engineering standards. Quit the hysterics.

i imagine these could be useful with playing with a gamepad as well. fingers sometimes do get a bit sweaty and slippery on the thumbsticks. i’m not sure i’d buy anything like this, but i do see their utility. ragging on this stuff does seem unfortunately in line with kotaku’s new editorial trend of going negative on…

Sounds like you’re inclined to think poorly of  children

this guy sounds extremely immature. which i guess is par for course for the wargaming culture. i’m sure everyone involved is bad. 

they always say this. but ‘launch exclusive’ just means they ported it to ps5 first. 

MS needs to release better games before anything is settled on the “console wars” front. They’ve never released an exclusive 1/10 as cool as anything from Sony. When MS releases their “Bloodborne” I might care.

Third party devs can, and will, have a free upgrade paths, though. I feel like that point is being overlooked.

well, sure, she definitely meant it. but she hasn’t thought through everything she’s saying. because there are a number of points she makes that, if developed one or two steps further, will reveal contradictory ideas. discovering these points of philosophical friction takes time for any person, and most likely, aging.

also, “chinese gamers are not a monolith” seems to be at odds with the generalizations made about how gamimg in china is primarily FTP. it’s almost like china has turned its gamers into a monolith through heavy handed restrictions. 

this strikes me as somewhat naive.

they’re probably thinking “who gives a shit?”

well, if more people are interested in physical retro gaming now, than compared to several years ago, then there is a shortage compared to increased demand, right? because it’s not like they’re manufacturing more of these games.

i’m so sick of it too. the site feels notably hostile and it turns my stomach a bit. not to mention that this kind of ceaseless negativity is just plainly moronic and intellectually vapid. 

this site, more than before, feels like it’s going down a dark path. these remaining writers have largely not earned my trust in their taste and opinions. so sure, they can say shitty stuff like this, but it reads as petty and surface-level.
