The Cardassians relegated the Romulans to 3rd place, and if Voyager hadn’t been set in the Delta Quadrant, the Breen might have passed them, too.

I don’t think anybody post-TOS knew what to do with the Romulans, especially as the Klingons got the lion’s share of alien cultural development among the writers of the TOS movies, TNG, and DS9. Even in TOS, they were a backup antagonist, only to be used when Klingon fatigue set in. As a result, the Romulans became a…

And a grossly outdated screenshot at that. (That’s the old skill bar layout.)

First thing I thought of when I saw Brigitte’s new skin was a System of a Down line: “Battalions of riot police with rubber bullet kisses / Baton courtesy, service with a smile”.

Benchmarks, please, because my personal experience says otherwise.

A good NVMe SSD can reach speeds of 3,500 MB/s over four lanes of PCIe 3.0. Current-gen consoles ship with 5400RPM hard drives that don’t spin fast enough to approach the limits of a 300 MB/s SATA 2 bus. So if PS5 and the next-gen Xbox models are using NVMe SSDs as rumored, an order of magnitude improvement in loading…

Update: It’s already happened. https://www.pcgamer.com/pc-gaming-show-livestream-2019/?utm_content=buffer8452b&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter&utm_campaign=buffer-pcgamertw

On the one hand, I’ve been busting Kotaku’s chops about leaving this show off the list ever since it started. I get that it’s a little weird for a publication to be putting on this show when nobody else will step up to do it, but ignoring it entirely is just petty.

This will, however, mean some changes for the Steam version of the game. On PC, Rocket League will come to the Epic Games Store in “late 2019.” Until then, it will remain on sale on Steam, and after that point, it’ll still be supported on Steam. However, it will no longer be available for purchase there once it’s…

“bigger and bigger titles.” such as Resident Evil 5. And Monster hunter world. Neat.

The crazy part is that I legitimately can’t tell if OP is trolling or an Xbox fan. Whole lotta Team Green kiddies throwing fits on Twitter. You’d think Major Nelson posted Avengers Endgame spoilers with the announcement.

Right now, the Epic Game Store has two competitive advantages that it can sell to publishers: An 88/12 cut, and a willingness to throw hyumangeous beeg bags of Fortnite BR cash at publishers for store exclusivity.

All I’m hearing is:

So you’d rather they go back to crunch?

You’d think that almost two decades of MMORPG development might have given some of these “Games as a Service” newcomers some examples of how to manage their release cadence and staffing, but apparently not.

Knowing Archer, it could easily turn out to be some weird Russian nesting doll of callbacks to other series finales involving made-up realities. If Suzanne Pleshette were still alive, I’m sure she’d have a cameo.

Yep. Even if you had pre-loaded HL2, certain key files had to be, and my memory is hazy on this, either downloaded or decrypted after authenticating with Steam’s servers. Valve grossly underestimated the server load of all those simultaneous connections, and the servers were crushed into oblivion.

Uplay, Origin, and B.net are company stores for Ubisoft, EA, and Activision Blizzard respectively. They bypassed (or in Blizzard’s case, never sold on) Steam to sell directly to customers. Even then, Ubi will sell on Steam, then force you into Uplay as an updater/launcher anyway. GoG Galaxy is a CD Projekt division,…

Still got that Sony Fuck You Money stink. 

You really think Console War Bullshit started harming PC gamers with Destiny 2? Bless your heart. We just got Microsoft to stop fucking us over after Rise of the Tomb Raider, and only 94% of PC gamers are Microsoft customers.
