Fuck me, got the “big boy pants” on today, eh?

Same here. I had the reservation page up on the steam app and on the website, payment type updated and confirmed, and then I just refreshed at 10PDT. Saw the reserve button pop up, hit it, it was in my cart, had to wait a couple refresh cycles for the checkout/submit button to stop erroring out, and successfully…

After fighting scalpers for 6 months to get a PS5, there was no way in hell I was going to do it again for this. Had the page loaded and ready to go at 10 this morning. After about five minutes and 10 or so refreshes along the way I managed to get through the checkout process.

10 thousand dollars a day? So Steam, a company run by 200 employees, and owning a massive office in the middle of Bellevue, with around 200 million active users is making about the same everyday as your run of the mill Olive garden location?  Can you link this pearl of wisdom you found this from?

Listen, I get not wanting to take a loss on hardware, especially when every other attempt (barring the Index, maybe) has failed miserably.

That said, Valve has spent the last 20 years making BILLIONS off the backs of other devs/publishers, and has done absolutely fuck all because of it. They make hundreds of millions a…

Ahh but you don’t have to spend money for you see this critically acclaimed MMORPG has a free trial to level 60 with unlimited playti--- *is yanked off stage*

Back around December last year I decided it was time to end my long mmorpg hiatus. I had last played WoW back before Burning Crusade came out. I also played Elder Scrolls Online when it first came to consoles. I honestly never tried FFXI or FFXIV despite being a long time FF fan. I was disappointed in stuff like…

Largest source of revenue for SpaceX is private satellite launches. The government does pay for launches, but a lot of those are launches the government would have done anyways- SpaceX is just cheaper. There’s also the Starlink system, which is likely to be a pretty big revenue source as it gets out of its beta stages.

The government isn’t forking out the big bucks for Space Tourism, they’re forking out the big bucks for satellite delivery and trips to the ISS. If anything moving the space transport business to the private sector has dramatically reduced cargo delivery costs for the government.

How old is it when you get to that phase? Because I’m 40, and I still enjoy playing some video games for the difficulty. Sometimes I don’t just want to finish the game for the sake of seeing a game over screen, sometimes I actually want to play a game because I find the gameplay enthralling.

YEP. I wanted to play Doom: Eternal for the story and scale. Easy mode let me absorb the story, lore, collectibles, etc., without repeatedly dying within five minutes. 

You clearly have a very interesting perspective. Could you elaborate on how my ego issues are manifest in this article, to the degree that they are the only reason this article exists? 

Exactly, as much as I hate to admit it, 40+ year old me does not have the eyes I did when I was 20, nor the reflexes. So I find myself looking for easy modes on games more often.

The Final Fantasy ports have triple speed and an invincibility button. I had 100 spare hours to play a game like that when I had a summer vacation. I don’t get those anymore. So having that option is probably the only chance I have of playing these games again.

Look. Some of us are old now. Those 12+ hour marathons are 20 years in the past. I try that now and all I’m going to accomplish is a blood clot. And folks can snicker, but their day will come. Eventually you won’t give a shit about learning the timing of phase 3 of whatever boss fight you’re stuck at.  You’re going to…

Ugh I had finally kicked the addition 2 updates ago, but just when I think I’m out, they pull me back in...

Still no News on the Switch Version? Man i really want to play this game but i dont want to start on one system and find out you cant transfer your data to the Switch once it comes out, so ive been holding off. But they keep adding more new content and it makes me want to get into it, hopefully we get Switch news soon

PS5, PS4, PC, Android, and iOS versions of the game.

How dare you speak ill of Amber?!
