There was a newspaper article in La Presse (Montreal newspaper) this morning about harassment happening at Ubisoft Montreal and its toxic work environment (and how their HR department is worthless at best, or protecting the management at all costs at worst)

Another pair worth looking for is the Pioneer MS7BT (with Bluetooth) or the MS5T (without). It can often be had for less than $100 (BT version), is super comfortable, solidly built (IMO, better than many), and it has a nicely balanced, neutral sound. Bass is well defined, but far from overpowering, so probably not a…

I get what you’re saying. But the Lion King looked a lot more realistic, and the director even included a completely non-CG shot in the movie to see if people would notice. Most didn’t and most don’t care because it’s so well made.

While it DOES look awesome, I don’t think it looks like it could be a live-action movie. More like an awesome CG movie. A couple of shots could pass for being quite photo-realistic, but most of it just looks like a CG fest to me. although an awesome CG fest (that’s not a bad thing).

Phone looks cool too. If I’m not…

All this reminds me that I’m really sick of all those people out there saying that masks are dangerous, or zero effective, and spreading misinformation and encouraging others to do the same.

It’s $65 over here. Even more insane. it’s almost the price of new AAA brand new releases.

What’s stupid here (but that’s EA, so it’s expected), is that I LOVE this game. Got it initially on the 360, then bought it on PC. Bought the remaster last year on XB1 for $5. YES $5.

So I should be right there in the prime…

I wouldn’t say it’s the same for all companies. I agree that for a lot of them, it’s all in service of their brand image and not much else though. And I’m thinking mostly about companies in the manufacturing sector (they don’t care about hiring slave workers - even kids - in third-world countries to save money, don’t…

This is why we have chosen not to make an official political statement.

Sometimes, looking at a game size is enough for me to make me NOT buy it. If we purely talk about game size, there was a time where things were going relatively fine, but then at some point over the last couple of years, we went back to the dialup days where downloading a basic game or piece of software took HOURS.

Well, many countries have antitrust and competition laws that prevent companies from selling manufactured goods below cost (unless when clearing out merchandise because of bankruptcy or something). If someone can prove a company is taking huge losses on a product to be more competitive than others, it could spell…

The average person doesn’t care about a disc drive. But I still do. For instance, my XB1 being able toplay 4K discs (and CD audio) is the reason why the PS4 is on the basement telly and the XB1 in the living room.

One thing people seems to forget (or just don’t know about) is that most of these ratings are measured on SEQUENTIAL reads. Like, really huge files with all of their data stored on the drive in the most optimal way possible. Anyone who’s been benchmarking SSDs in the last decade knows that this isn’t an accurate indica…

To be fair, you’d have to consider all of what you mentioned is comparable to a PC that’s bought exclusively, and ONLY for gaming purposes and absolutely nothing else. Which is rarely the case as people do more than just play games on their PCs. It’s like comparing the cost of a scooter with the cost of a car. Yes,…

To be frank, I don’t remember when was the last time I actually played an EA game. And EA always find a way to kill my interest in their upcoming releases in some way. Case in point, when I was finally excited for an EA release (the port of the Burnout Paradise Remaster on the Switch) I found out that EA will be…

I’m aware of Virtual Desktop and its features, but to be able to stream steam games, you need to put the Quest in developer mode, and then get the the alternate version of the app sideloaded with sidequest (I think)... Which, while not too complicated to do, simply make things, again, more complicated than what they…

Well, having an Oculus Quest myself, I found that whenever I can get a version of a game that works on the Quest standalone mode, I prefer that over the version on steam, even if the one on Steam is prettier due to the better PC hardware. Why? No cable, man. I can also play wherever I choose (and not be tied up to the…

It won’t fit in mine. And I’m not about to change my setup because it includes wall-spanning bookshelves made to match, my TV fits on the wall in a specific section (hole) made for it, and the place to put AV gear (consoles, etc...) is made for STANDARD sized equipment. So the only place this can fit is on the floor…

Few people who shop at Gamestop would have a risk of dying from covid. It’s mostly young people who shop there.

Personally, when I’m looking to buy a game, I look at the download size, and if it’s anything like those 80-100gb monsters, I just save myself some cash (and HDD/SSD space) and say “ah, fuck it”.

Sure, games now have all those fancy 4K textures and shit, but I can’t help thinking that games (and most software too)…

... and they’ll also try to blame piracy for the reason why no one is using them.
