Given that they announced the game would be a prequel, it’s been known to be a sequel in name only for years now. 

Oh, it does indeed have 12MB of RAM. It just happens to also have an additional 11.988GB of RAM beyond that.

And that’s exactly what they did. Sony replaced the Playstation with three subsequent lines of consoles, and a fourth line on the verge of release.

Looked at in that light, consider that the Witcher games are game adaptations of pre-existing written works. Cyberpunk 2077 is also a game adaptation of pre-existing written works. The difference here is that the books the Witcher games were based on were novels, whereas Cyberpunk 2077 is based on source books for a…

Over the life of the phone, insurance will cost quite a bit more than a decent case. Plus, insurance isn’t instant. Picking up a dropped phone that didn’t break in the first place is a lot faster than having to go the store to pick up a replacement or waiting to have a phone shipped. Given that my phones have been…

What really cracks me up with when someone buys one of the glass screen protectors, but doesn’t replace it when it saves the screen from a drop. If they’re willing to run around with a cracked glass screen protector until they’re eligible for a phone upgrade, why did they bother to protect the phone screen in the…

It’s always possible that Cyberpunk 2077 could be a disappointment, but I don’t see it necessarily being for the reason suggested in the Penny Arcade comic. After all, I’d argue that having expertise primarily in RTS and traditional MMO game play doesn’t exactly set up a developer for success in the FPS realm, yet…

The Banned for Life Club is getting retired? Uh, that’s great, I think.

As a kid, I never had an NES, but had a friend who did. One of the games he had was Commando, which I found quite impressive relative to the sorts of games I could play on my dad’s Tandy 1000 at the time. When I found out that there was a PC version made by Data East, I jumped at the opportunity to get it.…

You’re going to have to ask Bowser about that.

It may lack context relative to the previous strip, but in terms of real-world “hey, lets start doing stupid stuff at the first sign of easing restrictions and start getting sick again”, it’s depressingly on point. 

That's a Mexican flag.

It would take roughly an 80MB file for that math to work out. 

It was just a made-up number. At 2.5kb/s, it would take 72 hours to download just shy of 80MB of data. Even modern web browsing would be effectively unusable at those speeds. 

While there is truth to your statement, I can’t fully agree with your final point. If a person has serious technical issues with the game, or finds it frustratingly difficult, they may be unable to play a signifant amount of the game. The limited playtime in such cases doesn’t nullify the legitimacy of their…

Too much upkeep?! I have an AIO on one of my computers that’s been running nearly nonstop for over 5 years, and I haven’t had to do anything with it since the day I installed it. I also have a different computer running a hard line cooling loop, and even that has been largely maintenance free. I’ve only drained the…

Yes, you can. In fact, some of the same flight simulators available to the general public aare also certified for professional flight training when paired with approved hardware and commercial licensing.

The physical copy won’t ship with its own activation server, so the physical copy is just as vulnerable to those problems as digital distribution is. 

A significant problem is that with online activation being more and more common, possession of physical media won’t necessarily protect you anymore. What good will your physical copy do if the activation server refuses to activate your copy or simply doesn’t exist anymore?

True, though it sure feels weird for a LEGO recreation of an item to cost more than the real thing.
