You know, I was kind of stunned when I learned that the PS4 can’t play audio CDs. Not that it’s a feature I’d be using a lot, but I found this weird. Also, it took Sony an awful long time (like, close to 2 years after launch) to actually make available a media player for their console, and even with all that time, it…

Well, sure, exclusives do matter to many people. But I may be in the minority here saying that these doesn’t matter as much to me as they used to. Since some years already, I’ve been adopting more of the “so what” attitude towards not playing some “big” games. I play games mostly to escape reality and enjoy a virtual…

The thing about tailgating is, it’s rude and dangerous but it’s actually not real dangerous for the driver in the front vehicle

I’m not questionning the fact that the games purchased won’t be available if you stop paying for the pro plan. I’m questionning the fact that people assume these games will be available forever and ever. You can’t assume that.

How do you know they won’t be yanking any game? Let’s say a game use licenced music, and the…

While I think a subscription model with included games is defendable, I can’t wrap my head around the fact that people will buy access to “premium” game streaming.

So... you can pay for a game stored on disc or on an HDD (which mean you can play it forever as long as you keep the files or the disc), or you can buy, for…

Only remotely related to this.... but god I miss the arcade days...

It IS terrifying. Not only from an “always online” perspective, but also from the fact that Google being a company living on selling your data, one has to question what are they getting from such a tech. I mean, Google’s already tracking whatever they can about us through our phones and tablets and Chrome, and smart…

To me, I think it became pretty evident when they started to say PS4 players don’t want cross-platform play, even if Microsoft and even Nintendo (Nintendo, for f*ck sake!) were allowing it. When Fortnite accounts of anyone playing on PS4 weren’t transferable because Sony didn’t want to. I personnaly don’t care about…

VR is niche.

I think Microsoft kind of learned their lesson, at least for the moment. I think that lately, they’re the ones trying to push for things that people find cool (backward compatibility, game pass, cross-platform multiplayer, etc...) and things people didn’t even know they wanted (like the adaptative controller), which…

While it kind of makes business sense considering the costs involved for hosting events and booths at E3, Sony are at a point this generation where they can do whatever they want and not care too much about impacts. The large market lead Sony has this gen may lead them to think of themselves as “invincible” right now,…

Also, one thing that strikes me from Activision’s filling :

It’s not just about being a Halo weirdo. It also depends on what you want in a console. Personnaly, I value backward compatibility, as there are some 360 games I still like to play, and some I still plan on getting some day that are available on the XB1. I also value media-playing capabilities (CD, DVD, Blu-Ray, 4K).…

The problem is that Win10 updates are buggy as hell. The latest May update completely NUKED my network stack and both wireless and wired connections went dead. No amount of tinkering solved the issue, trying tons of various fixes found on tenforums and the likes, file checkers, drivers uninstall / reinstalls, flushig…

how society categorizes people and stuffs them into neat, easy-to-understand boxes based on dichotomies that are, as it turns out, completely arbitrary and based entirely on cultural expectation.

Bought the album today. It’s weird in a good way. Like, part psychedelic trip, part stoner/hard rock. Sometimes it feels to me like some Judas Priest-style riffs with synths on top (Licensed to drive), and other times sounds like some “wall-esque” Pink Floyd sound you can phase out to.... A slightly different sounding…

The thing most PC Master Race pricks don’t realize, is that not everyone get a hard on by looking at the number of fps a game runs at, or that 4K sequential read number in crystaldiskmark, or other picky stats like these. Some just want to play games that run well enough, in the simplest way possible. And at this,…

I too always had both. Even Nintendo and PC into the mix as well. And while I generally agree about network anything being better on the Microsoft side, I still feel the Xbox One user interface is a crime against humanity.

Aside from Google rebranding products like there’s no tomorrow (truly weird from a marketing standpoint) and the fact that half of their initiatives usually turn dead a year or two after launch, I can’t help but being interested in the new Pixel phone.

The problem with being a graphic designer or anyone working as a creative, is that everyone else in the world think they’re qualified or know what looks good because they have an opinion. Thing is, design has its own set of rules. It’s own “science” if you will. To me, everything I do and hand over to a client is…
