Hah. Spider-Tofu. I like it. 

I got hit by the tofu bug a number of times. At one point, as Peter, eventually his head and neck appeared (and maybe his feet) and I was then riding a bicycle with Harry, as Harry pretended that it was perfectly normal that his friends entire torso had vanished.

Other times, certain NPC models wouldn’t load.  Like…

Please don’t fix the bug I have with one of Miles’ suits that turns him into a tiny white textureless bounding box. It’s hilarious and I’d dearly miss the adventures of Spider-Box.

It’d be really nice if there was an easier (or even functional) way of getting my screenshots and recordings onto my PC from my PlayStation without a garbage social media account, neither of which I have. The mobile app hasn’t let me download them for months now. 

I’m glad you raised Playstation, because it was originally going to be in my reply but I cut it for brevity.

I do like Steam (it’s my preferred platform), but I also like GoG and just quietly some of Ubisoft’s platform features are pretty good too, so I don’t think I have any particular loyalty, let alone subservience. As for stores, I probably buy through GMG more than Steam, the AUD discounts are always pretty solid.

Prime, why do you support sales (monopolies)? Don’t you know that takes food out of the mouths of developers working in a 300+ billion dollar luxury goods industry? Instead, the guy working at walmart making 12 dollars an hour to get yelled at by a psychopath because the ham isn’t on rollback should be paying full…

I covered some of this in a different reply, but I think you’re conflating the Steam platform with the Steam store. The platform does no trade and generates no revenue, it can’t be a monopoly by definition.

The thing about Epic’s strategy is it’s basically just applying the brick and mortar ‘get people in the door and try to catch their eye with an impulse buy’ tactic but applied to the digital space, but without consideration that customers don’t behave the same way in digital space as they do irl.

I think within this context we have generally moved past the real world.

That’s not a good thing, man.
If emulation is bad, please tell me the “good” way for me to play something like Kid Icarus Uprising.

Wakanda is canonically at the head of a Pan African solidarity movement in the comics, so this is why Miles, who is of at least 50% African descent (and probably more depending on which version of Miles’ Puerto Rican mom they go with here).

And all your take says, to me, is that you think reading things as uncharitably as possible is clever, for some reason.

How do you know he’s not of Wakandan ancestry? Sure he’s half Puerto Rican and half African American, so that means his family history can be traced back to African. And since the whole thing is fictional anyways, why can’t that be Wakanda? And Peter, being most likely of Irish decent, could easily do an Irish jig in…

That’s like saying Miles shouldn’t be able to wear a dashiki because he’s not from Africa. As for the mixed race and not Wakandan argument, society sees mixed race Black folks as Black. Afro-Cubans? Black. Afro-Puerto Ricans? Black. My son will be seen as Black first and foremost, even though my wife is Mexican.

The biggest Sony game release of all time is going to get coverage, you twat.

How confused do you have to get to be shocked there’s game coverage on a gaming blog..?

There are buildings and signs that other heroes are active in the setting, but they don’t actually show up.

No other heroes AFAIK (at least in the first one, I haven’t played the new one) but I don’t think the video game rights are nearly as contentious as in the movies. But they do have references - the Wakandan embassy, Avengers Tower, the Sanctum Santorum, and a few other Marvel places appeared in the first game at least.
