Yeah, No. The community at large is laying the blame squarely at the feet of the publishers and devs while games media wrings hands with excuses for things like $70 games, unfinished releases, predatory DLC practices. Do you have a few idiots harassing community managers? Yes. But telling devs that they released an…

Floridians voted for this mess and as such must own its consequences. Is it fair that everyone should suffer because of it? No. Is it normal for a State voting in a demonstrably bad actor to reap the results of such? Yes. Elections have consequences.

I rarely agree with Gizmodo’s hot takes but this one I’m all on board for. Want me to write a double digit double spaced MLA compliant paper on Quantum Mechanics? I’m setting ChatGPT to do half of the heavy lifting. Want me to do a PowerPoint and Q&A on the same subject? That I’ll actually burn my weekend doing.

The simpering tone of the comments on this article is deeply concerning. Used to be that people stood up for their rights to use their purchased games however they saw fit as long as they didn’t misrepresent what you’re doing as official and sell it as such. Now people simp for a multi-billion dollar company going far…

Such a stupid move by MS. Having RetroArch on my Series X actively made it the best console of this generation by far. Mealy mouthed defenders will say they “needed” to do this but 1) They were already taking down the apps actively from being served within hours 2) Other platforms have RA and other emulators directly…

Having actually played the game with varying levels of durability on my hacked switch: Game is |much| better with the durability turned up substantially. Those stanning for it don’t notice the crappy habits it leads you to in the game where actually having a choice of weapons you can depend on makes the game much more…

So what you’re saying is that the real shiny was the friends we made along the way?

I give him shit because he lied to a young and impressionable audience about the nature of piracy and didn’t back down because of ego over being accurate and informative.

No.

No.

So glad that Nintendo decided to shelf MK9 and instead expand MK8D to what it should be. A lot of the enthusiast press, especially on YouTube, rake them over the coals for the decision because they gorged themselves on MK8/8D and got themselves over-hyped for 9 when they heard it was finished primary development and…

This. Played the opening hours of the game right after launch and played it again a month or so ago and the game is still a mess. 

Yoshi main here, always assumed that SC was just balanced very hard for star ratings and just grinded through it trying to get as perfect a run as possible. Probably lengthened my time with the game that was and younger me probably appreciated that.

I have never understood the weird supposed online consensus that MK:SC was “one of the worst”. It was a GBA title that captured most of what people liked about the console version of the game and you had it in your literal pocket. Beyond that I just liked the game overall, would like someone to actual dig into why…

What an absolute trash-heap of an article. “FB says that they are going to try copying certain aspects of paid verification so Musk was totally right and vindicated”. Yeah, we all know that Zuckerberg is a totally flawless decision maker, particularly after he has thrown billions into the furnace putting out a…

The short answer is that no one (that Disney would put in the chair that is) wants the job since she bungled the movies and she embedded herself and her people like a tick in the production side so any removal would mean quite the mess.

“ A fairly sizeable portion of America” think that black people are inferior to white people and that they should be enslaved to them. I don’t think you’d be so accepting in that case.

Electric stoves suck, both coil and induction. Trying to play the angle that they are great is a fart in a stiff wind. The matter is a health and pollution one, with benefits of switching that far outweigh how nice a gas stove is to use.

Mescalito’s point still stands even if you are correct. The fact is that the abstraction of being on a device and not saying it out loud means that there are millions of users posting misinformation, disinformation & cyberbullying under their real names so requiring an ID verification would stem some but not the most…

Except: Lorem is entirely right. Musk is banking on liberals and moderates clutching their pearls about him in the short run but meekly coming back to the platform to get their fix in the long-run so he can sweet talk advertisers. From the way most people in blogging and media are treating twitter: He is entirely…
