It runs abominably badly on my PC. My machine is pretty old, but nothing else I have played recently has run this badly. Deathloop ran fine! Fucking Cyberpunk 2077 ran fine on modest settings! But 2042 stutters and chugs enough that it’s only barely playable at all.

The Kinect was also (unsurprisingly) bad at detecting non-white people. I recall one instance where a dark-skinned colleague was trying to sign into his console using it, and his Kinect put a box around the back of my head where I was sitting behind him, and popped up “Is this you?”

It’s so good.

Yes, four years of the incredibly socialist Trump government. Obviously.

What the fuck have they done to Kainé’s face?!

Hm. Not sure how promising their pedigree of combat-heavy FPS titles is for this. The Wolfenstein games are good, but I wouldn’t want an Indiana Jones title to play anything like them...

Hi! White person here, speaking out for the marginalised community of trans people of which I am a part!

Leaving aside, for the moment, the many serious problems CP has, I wanted to address this:

The N64, for example, will forever be remembered for its introduction of a proper thumbstick, but there’s little else about that pad’s design that made a lasting impression.

If I saw something tagged “First Playthrough” I wouldn’t infer that it was what’s commonly known as a “blind playthrough”, I would assume that either it was (claimed to be) the first playthrough of the game anyone had completed, or that it was the first of multiple planned playthroughs by that streamer.

Good theory, but it wasn’t a developer choice, it was Sony themselves. It’s swapped even in the system software of the original PlayStation.

But in Japan, the O (confirm) button is in the same place as the A (confirm) button, and the X (cancel) button is in the same place as the B (cancel) button. So why would they decide to reverse that for the Western release?

I have been trying for years to find any actual info on why they were swapped for the West, and nobody actually knows.

Or imagine something like a Grand Theft Auto with actual modeled interiors for every building. Video games have been doing “look at that mountain, you can go there” for years, so doing it faster isn’t really that impactful. I want “look at this reasonably photorealistic city, you can explore every inch of it…

Never call the cops. :/

Okay, but this is kinda interesting! Because we saw from the Boring Character Creation shot that most players picked a male character, and the fact that most players then romanced a guy suggests that most romances in BG3 were queer!

How shocking that a criminal would support Trump.

God, I didn’t know he did The Last Starfighter!

Pretty sure the one which goes “I’m cancelling my subscription and myself, my wife, and her boyfriend will not be watching any further NASCAR events. you have lost a valuable customer today” was a joke.

Well, if it only ruins one in every ten restaurants I think we’ll be okay!
