“Playing Cyberpunk 2077 as CD Projekt Red designed it is like going to a fancy restaurant and having the steak thrown at your face before you’ve even looked at the menu. Then getting your delicious entrée served 90 minutes later.”

Yeah, but if you’re 6'5", you’re probably too busy playing in the NBA to care.

There are two entirely separate sets of legislation.

I love that the internet has suddenly discovered this is a thing, when frankly, it has always been a thing.

Perhaps there’s a distinction between “streamed by” and “distributed by”. Netflix is the official distributor for this film.

So it’s “Wordle Inspired”, not a “Wordle Clone”. Those are two very different things.

How is this a “Wordle Clone”? Unless every game where you guess and/or deduce things is now a “Wordle Clone”.

Thank you Lord Haw-Haw for your valuable insights.

That’s why everyone clicked. We were baited.

I guess I’m lucky to be part of the Sega generation.

I’m clearly a cheapass gamer. $6 is what I pay for most PC games (thanks Steam and Epic sales). I certainly wouldn’t think of paying that for a gun skin.

Money market account?

I just went and tested six SNES cartridges with save support. No battery issues encountered! I’m sure they will occur in time, and probably quite soon, but when they do, it’s a standard button cell, so it’s not a difficult process. I’ve done the replacement on a few NES cartridges, and it was painless. Certainly…

I’ve had a few NES cartridges with batteries experience a flat battery (only a small minority of cartridges have batteries). So I replaced the batteries. They’re button cells, and it’s easily done.

Nintendo has actually historically been pretty good in terms of physical game preservation.If you owned Nintendo hardware and a physical cartridge/disc, you would rarely have any problems.

I think they’re just dumbing it down.

Nintendo hardware always goes through a weird curve where it’s expensive for most of its run, becomes stupidly cheap when the “next big thing” is being announced (and department stores panic about clearing out stock), then becomes expensive again on the used market shortly afterwards.

You say “glass half empty”, I say “statistically correct”.

My wife’s reaction:

A “less than 50%” score means that if you have similar tastes to the average movie critic, you’re more likely to dislike the movie than like it.
