It seems like both of these companies excel when there’s strong competition between them.

Uhh, bye stadia. We’ll always remember you for that thing.... the free- wait we had to pay for games... the controller? I mean... was there anything going for this?

This, as well as, over time companies who make power efficient processors may be less motivated to make them as efficient as possible if we’re able to get a days worth and get more processing power out of it instead. Its like, “oh, we can get 30% more battery life? That will help us reach our power requirement roadmap…

As a Dane reading this from Denmark, I can only say: True dat! The man is a giant baby who cannot formulate a sentence and only reacts to his primary instincts and needs - with a narcissistic vigor. How millions could vote for him - let alone defend him now, after four crazy years - is beyond most of my fellow Danes.

I’m already putting money aside for the “Will you shut up, man.” statue I want placed in front of Trump Tower

I’m with you on all that. Did you see that in the States, Sony price matched Ps5 with series x, but here in Canada, ‘same price’ means $30 more than series x?

What is with the push to make vertical orientation happen (PS has been doing it for at least a few gens now)? I feel like gaming consoles are meant for couch gaming and most entertainment consoles/TV benches are built with horizontally oriented component storage in mind. Maybe I’m just old now and don’t want a game…

I’ve never got that myself. You pay maximum possible price for a first batch console, that may be full of first batch bugs and faults. (Looking at you, X360s!) And, on top of that, you have literally the smallest library available to you on that system at launch. You’ll get what? Maybe one or two gems, and the rest…

You could also not act like a diaper-shitting big baby and pick it up whenever down the road, like an adult with a life and a sense of priorities. In the meantime you could always read a book. You know, a book.

For some reason people think something being a game or a competition makes it lesser than being a sport, as if not being a sport was some kind of slight. Warmed over anxiety about getting bullied by jocks imo.

I don’t know if it’s because English isn’t my native language, but in French, the word “Sport” is mostly associated with an activity that is, in its essence, a physical one.

Technically, I hate the term esports and it’s dumb and stupid.

EA should add “Press X to kneel” to the game. Tat will for sure get some heads exploding.

I’ve never owned a Madden game, but I am 100% here just to see the “keep politics out of games” crowd’s heads explode. 

I - unfortunately - waded into a local Nextdoor group discussion about the “dangerous 5G towers” that were going up around the neighborhood. I asked someone to link me to their research that showed they were harmful and I literally got a link to a website talking about chemtrails. Can’t make that shit up. I actually…

Lol, I’m glad I’m not the only one who makes this connection when someone on the internet tells me they “did their own research”:

Thanks for this Beth. I’ve had to endure a weekend of armchair-epidemiologists on social media passing this around and I was looking forward to finding out how this was being misinterpreted (almost everyone sharing it was basically using the “let young, healthy people do whatever they want, this isn’t a deadly…

My rules:

It’s like when people want “politics out of sports” but jerk off over the national anthem played before events, giant flags spread across the field (a violation of the Flag Code btw) and circle-jerk celebrations for the military during it.

Digital is just a long term rental. At any point, your license to the game can be revoked for any reason chosen by the platform/publisher whether it be to licensing rights changes, shuttering of the platform itself, etc so I buy physical copies.
