That timer exist too (we call it “The Fart”), and you are right that’s probably what the article is referring to in that case, but the wipe mechanic that causes the screech isn’t that, it’s the tablet. 

“including paying eagle-eyed attention to a timer that causes players to explode”

Expansions. seasonal content will still get the axe at the end of the year.

He literally hinted this was coming in the same original twitter discussion before people reacted and everything went to shit. It was part of why it was so upsetting that people went so far over the top about it.

Yeah, not only are the games old, but most people can get the few they want very cheap and skip the subscription. The value of Game Pass is being able to play games that are still $60+ retail. Not to mention multiplayer games while people are actively playing them. As long as Sony isn’t willing to use this as a…

I’ve been loving Stray on the steam deck and it runs perfectly when set the refresh and frame lock at 40hz/fps with the default settings (same as is recommended for many newer or more demanding games - with the refresh rate locked to the same as the frame rate it really helps make it feel smooth despite the lower…

I would say yeah, it is, simply because in addition to the help of things like Xbox Ambassadors, MS is really aggressive and shockingly quick about dolling out chat bans to people, as opposed to discord which is mostly private chat spaces they take no responsibility for. Safe, no, but safer? yeah.

Or just remove the paddles like on the elite. Also, different sizes - I use a combo of the V1 and V2 small paddles on the elite because it dramatically reduces the number of accidental presses I would get with the larger paddles. 

Another Twitter user agreed with her sentiment on Gate, saying it was “kinda insulting” on Hidive’s part to recommend the series.

I’m talking about the bulk of overall orders, not the day one/hour one rush. The Steam Deck has been up for preorder for nearly a full year. They had to ramp of demand to have any chance of catching up with the order backlog, even at a trickle during that time. The majority of orders are still outstanding.

I agree, but the news media is going full send on the “steam decks shipping early” hype train, which is definitely misleading. To be fair to Kotaku this article is actually mild, it just happened to hit at the end of a barrage in my stream so I made a stupid comment. (and made it in reply to another comment, which was…

Can we please stop hyping these announcements as though they are ahead of schedule? Q3 e-mails go out on the 30th. Q3 starts July 1. So Q3 shipments are starting... in Q3. We also knew the bolus of orders was in Q3 and beyond, so the increase in production was both necessary and expected in order to fill those orders.…

This is going to be good for Sony lovers in the long term cause Kojima doing this is almost certainly a direct result of criticism of Sony’s refusal to beef up their cloud infrastructure and partnerships. Sony is constantly held back by conservative japanese corporate decision making and it has started to cost them…

That’s the nature of the times though. It’s going to continue for another year or so, and people need to get over that. Every platform is suffering from delays due to the pandemic (and developers quitting after getting sick of being abused) and everybody is blaming the industry for not throwing enough entertainment…

From what we can tell, Bungie has an absurdly generous contract with Sony in order to maintain its autonomy and full self publishing rights. They likely also have a buyback clause to go independent again on a moment’s notice if Sony pulls anything, based on their history with Microsoft and Activision. Their contract,…

It’s a great little machine all around. 1080p performance is solid and load times are on par. And it’s small enough to pack for a trip unlike the X or PS5. Definitely positioned as a great secondary machine.

Tracing/referencing approved source material under commission is not the same as just plagiarizing the work of others. It’s not about the technicality of how it was done, which was my point in the first place.

In Cotoh’s earlier tracing denial, the artist readily acknowledge the use of photos as reference materials. “However, I have never traced,” wrote Cotoh, adding, “Everything I do for clients is original.”

I can’t speak for anyone else, 90% of the time when I unload on someone’s dead body. it’s because I’m sick and tired of them baddly lagging out the entire game, either to their advantage, or my wasted bullets on a ghost. It’s half “make sure they’re dead” and half “fix your damn internet”. Not that it does any good,…

“The first thing to say unequivocally is that Bungie will stay an independent, multiplatform studio and publisher. Pete [Parsons, CEO] and I have spoken about many things over recent months, and this was one of the first, and actually easiest and most straightforward, conclusions we reached together. Everybody wants…
