Keep in mind, if you want the DIY Solution,  batteries for the switch are only ~$13 from reputable suppliers, and probably even cheaper on ebay/aliexpress, also it’s very easy to do overall.

Not that I particularly like Apple, but they’re far from the only one who does this (google themselves do it on Pixels), and the reasoning is the same. Fractured storage mediums in a single device causes faster operating system corruption overall, performance issues, and confusion in customers who are not tech Savvy.

I mean, if you look at it more like “This is a technical upgrade + expansion for Borderlands 2, with $60 worth of maps/guns/characters/etc” it makes more sense and I feel like overall, is a more accurate description of the game anyway. One BIG thing is the “gunplay update” in general just means guns feel less…

That’s about what I heard too. “Sounds like an Armored Core game....” :P

To be fair, I have no problems pointing out flaws in EGS, and still saying I’ll be using them as needed for the games that I want because regardless of shitty tactics, bad clients, no email confirmations, etc. I do want to support the developers that I want to support, even if they make a choice purely based on…

Mostly scaremongering.

Newsflash if your kids have A CELLPHONE they can CALL AND TEXT people!

I know, it’s concerning they might call RANDOM PEOPLE (because no one ever did that as a kid right?)

Look, teaching correct internet safety and trusting your children to interact with things safely is just part of being a…

Yes, because it’s impossible to be active in multiple arenas at a time.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not a big fan of this controversy overall (even if I do think Epic needs to step up their storefront game), but I absolutely abhor these “distraction” arguments.

As a consumer and a person, I should feel empowered to speak…

Not entirely true, there’s been other “competitors” for awhile, that aren’t buying exclusivity and devs were using steam anyway for the userbase, not because of their “monopoly”

GoG, Uplay and Origin are all available to varying degrees offer better functionality than Epic as well. I mean, we don’t complain about…

It’s only “screwing over fans” when it was previously promised on other platforms, or DRM Free. This has happened repeatedly, and understandably upsets people, especially ones who literally cannot purchase from Epic because of region lockouts.

I don’t know, TTK feels way weird in solos, it was pretty fun to do the dailies, but overall I think I prefer to play with teamates.

That said, keeping it as a mode isn’t totally bad because playing with randoms when your friends aren’t around DOES suck.

Last week a 1660ti laptop was on sale for 800. And during Prime day an RTX2060 Laptop went on sale for 1k. Definitely some worthwhile deals occasionally, I still just...can’t justify it when I’ve got a powerful desktop at home. I don’t have the NEED for a laptop even though I “want” one.

One big one that comes to mind is the eventuality of “Mixer plays” with streamers, like Twitch plays.

Consider that with the direct Windows 10 integration, and Microsoft published games, like say Halo or Gears, they could directly build in mixer fan interaction into the game itself for certain things. Imagine a special…

While obviously the vitriol and threats is too far, this developer specifically attacked the gaming community condescendingly and should (at this point) be fully aware of what that might entail.

Regardless of your thoughts on the EGS bullshit (Not a big fan of their account recovery process, but still plan on getting…

This is exactly it. Most likely the booking/organizing team didn’t know that the specifics of these guy’s shows would be offensive, and then later as the schedule got passed around it was noticed that “Hey, this isn’t a good set of people to give a platform to, since we still get hounded about Dickwolves”

It doesn’t matter if it’s worse or better than other things. Don’t “whataboutism” the dev’s communication being condescending and downright rude. It was stoking the fire and they got it, this is their free advertising for being part of EGS.

For reference: Never heard of this game till this BS “snarky” (read:…

And I think it’s important to note, that usually those Nintendo games that don’t get discounts, also deliver what many would consider “fair” for the price content, as well as sometimes continual updates.

The red flavor is way better overall, but still too sweet tbh.

I’ve known Jacob for years at this point in passing, and he’s always been a pretty stand up guy, passionate, but trying to do what he thinks is best (regardless of if it actually is).

That said, the way you guys describe the contract to me would mean Papa HH wanted out completely. Only way to absolve that legal…

I’ll say it’s only a slog if you want it to be. My 6 year old at the time got to the final boss by himself without issue, and not a ton of grinding (mostly just following quest markers). I did have to help him there because he wasn’t even appropriately leveled, but even more importantly, didn’t buy healing items…

Or used in conjuction with Gibraltar so people can’t come inside the shield :)
