i had to send back a unit with hardware failure and spun it into another asskissing nintendo article. groan. oh well. peace, guys. i can’t take this shit anymore. i’ll come back when nintendo earns the hype by having exclusive games that match or exceed what’s available on every other platform. or crashes and burns.…

if the software is misreading battery charge, fine. that should be a fairly easy patch. but they’re asking you to drain and charge 6 times. that isn’t a software fix. it’s a stalling tactic and i honestly wonder if it’ll even work. something’s fucked up with the hardware.

a current gen console without an ethernet port. i will never understand how the switch is anything but a step backward. they’re video game Apple. obnoxious, controlling, selling reduced functionality as “features” and thriving on brand power. not games or innovation or power. not including a port to stabilize your…

or, “here’s a new battery that works.” why does N get a free pass on this? nobody else would. if my laptop battery was messed up out of the box i’d be getting a new battery or a refund.

if buying a thing from a company is really hard, and they’re making it hard on purpose or due to ineptitude, here’s what you do. don’t fucking buy the thing. this is a re-release of old tech. very emulatable old tech that is largely available in dozens of places at this point.

i agree. but good luck selling +2 gold dragon armor in the digital deluxe day 1 edition if there’s an invincibility cheat code. and i feel like devs are unwilling to turn off trophies/achievements. either sony/ms is saying no, or trophies drive engagement and the devs don’t want them off. either way, it gives the…

it won’t ever happen by and large. easier to sell what used to be cheats as paid microtransaction dlc. also it fucks with trophies/achievements, which have also been very popular in spite of how pointless and silly they are. i’d much rather have cheats or console access than bullshit pat on the back trophies.

but remember. fellow citizens pirating the shows they’re using to expose you to subconscious manipulation is bad. the bad thing is pirating. not corporate manipulation of art for ad revenue aka “tricking you into buying shit” revenue. the bad thing is people going around the middleperson.

podcasts aren’t my thing, but is it a favourable take on ff12? i still don’t understand what was appealing about that game. like, if i wanted an MMO, i’d have played WoW. i wanted a story and atmosphere heavy single player game. i got some weird half-committed hybrid where the combat and fetch quests dragged so bad…

ahahahaha, yeah :(

i know what trump supporters stand for. capital C Contrarianism-as-ideology.

okay i’m officially tired of this. portable gaming is not new. laptops for $600 can play 20 times more games than the switch. i’m glad you had fun, but acting like this is some wonderful novel thing is bonkers. gaming laptops are built better than the switch and allow you to play old nintendo games better than any…

this is woefully harmful shit.

this is a useless comment. your opinion is based on exclusion. this is an interactive medium. let people who patronize you play how they choose. that includes allowing extreme difficulty modes. for those of you who play for a challenge, crank the slider. i’m not going to go equal on your ass and say people who like…

abandoning indies and focusing on gimmicky expensive vr and turning blockbusters into microtransaction filled spam games. hoo boy. goodbye playstation. it’s been fun.

20 years ago, i’d have considered dating a conservative if they were intelligent enough to explain themselves. i was 11 then. bush era and beyond (here in canada it was the same shit more or less. even our liberals were neocons through and through) i wouldn’t even consider touching a member of the CPC or a republican.

yeah. spectacular failure is usually more interesting than success. and now he’s on kotaku’s front page for a bit. which is cool

nvm

okay. i’ll magically pull money out of the air. or not have access to games that are infinitely reproducible and have a $0 production cost. i do pay for games when i can afford them. worry about execs making hundreds of thousands per year. not people pirating $80 worth of content they wouldn’t be able to afford…

the other races will almost surely be present in either dlc or subsequent games. i expect they’ll be part of the story in andromeda 2. when it happens. i refuse to say “if” even though things are in limbo atm.
