Hes wrong that higher exhaust heat means the heatsink must be doing less as the cooling systems function is to transfer heat from inside to outside the console through exhaust convection. This could either mean that the cooling system was doing its job better, or that the system components were overall running warmer…

Can someone more versed in thermodynamics than I posit whether measuring the air temperature being kicked out from the exhaust is actually a sign of the console “running hotter” or whether this could just be a sign that it’s more efficient at exhausting heat thanks to a fan that moves more air?

Just. Don’t. Tweet. That’s the main lesson here. There is literally no upside to using Twitter in 2021.

That gets him canceled? Jesus. Really? What ever happened to just saying, “Dude, that was a dick comment. Say sorry and don’t say that shit anymore.”

What if you just didn’t play the games you didn’t like?

Right? When I saw the headline, I thought “oh man, not as good as the main game then, damn,” but then I read the article and was like “wait what??”

“Ghost of Tsushima is a decent enough open-world game”

Cannot imagine playing or finishing this game without being compelled to see + explore every inch of its map. One of the 5 best games of its generation.  That said, I can hold on the Director’s Cut until actually getting a PS5, probably sometime in 2023 at current pace.

This is a nice longform article in the vein of Jason’s Schreier’s reporting of behind-the-scenes game development. Glad to see this article type again. Great job!

I dunno man the state of the mobile market is not really the hill to die on.

Sorry gacha deserves to get shit on, its a blight upon mankind. Your friends that enjoy them could enjoy the exact same games without being monetized out of every available orifice.

It’s also like this world is fictional, mandated by a studio to make sure nobody watches anything without watching EVERYTHING.

It’s a lot easier to snark at the girl from Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt or the Hamilton guy’s movie because they’re straightforward targets. Going after politicians requires a more nuanced understanding of difficult, multifaceted issues.

I was a little surprised there weren’t more darker-skinned actors, I was also suprised there were basically no asian people. It is possible that John Chu ran into the vicious circle issue with finding darker-skinned actors: a significant percentage haven’t been given enough chances to develop because nobody is casting…

Didn’t think I’d need to say this but can dumb comments please stop going “what about Sony, how come you aren’t saying they’re bad”. I know it must be shocking to be talking about MSoft during an MSoft conference but that’s what’s happening amazingly enough.

He’s 20. Having 3 teenagers in my house right now, including a 19 year old, I understand that sometimes people of that age do not have the most healthy emotional responses to disappointment. Hopefully he learns to process his emotions in a more mature manner.

It doesn’t sound difficult, just not terribly respectful of the amount of drive space you’ve got allocated, and your time. Considering it’s 2021, something like this should be seamless to implement. MS seems to have figured it out.

I like big butts and I statistics can not lie

To be fair, it wasn’t as immediately obvious as the Trump Defense Fund. Back when it was announced, in 1962, a game from Chris Roberts — father of Wing Commander — in the long dead space fighter genre... that was big news!

Take off, nuke the site from orbit.  Only way to be sure.
