The dude is through and through a children’s show writer, and has, for reasons, been given the keys to the kingdom. It’s never going to get better, sadly.

The problem is that there isn’t a single suit that is “good”, so you would need to have four different suits on you at any given point, which is like 60kg, in a game where we’re already overburdened all the damned time, just to go out onto a planet that is essentially empty of anything other than random rocks. If…

Honestly, this is pretty simple: they really like sports, and they enjoy being part of the current conversation. While there aren’t SUBSTANTIAL improvements each year (which is why people like you wouldn’t buy it every year), there are changes/tweaks, so it is a little different, and it allows you to be a part of the…

I mean 1) you say this like there weren’t literal Columbine Counter-Strike maps, and 2) He’s more like a Che Guevara figure, so it would be absolutely messed up from many points of view, and others would see him as legit fighting against the tyranny of the corps. 

I mean...yeah, you own these because you have a PS5, and you were probably playing the PS4 pretty well before then. This is only for brand new PS5 sales. All the hardcore people bought the console 1-3 years ago. This is for people who are interested, but need a little incentive to buy, and honestly, only the bottom 2…

Easily the best thing about sex in BG3 is that it doesn’t feel aimed at the player, but emanating from the characters. So some of the sex is more raw and gratuitous, and some of it is more subtle and intimate, but always, it feels like this is because the people are feeling these things. In some ways, it feels to me…

Look, there is obviously no right or wrong way to enjoy something, but what you have said is EXACTLY the right way to enjoy a David Cage game.

Sure, but like any other Quantic Dream game, you have to temper how neat this sounds with how absolutely stupid it will be in reality. 

I’ve only ever sold anything on the steam market, and so all emails just show the price I got, and the sell screen shows seller pays, buyer recieves. So I bought a stupid thing for 6 cents, and you’re absolutely right, it has a dev and steam cut listed there. I completely withdraw my snarky reply, as I was wrong.

So you’re guessing, based on nothing, that steam gives a portion of the cut they take take the original devs? Have your ever read anything that implies that's the case? I have literally never seen anything to that end

Yes, but also no. Companies that sell skins are less interested in making them marketable, because they don’t get a cut. Steam gets a cut of sales through steam, so letting people buy and sell works out GREAT for them, but a game maker that lets people sell the skins gets nothing, while valve gets a cut. Instead, game…

Let me note that me throwing out 30W was because that is what the higher performance handhelds (like the ROG Ally) use while plugged in, and is the absolute high mark for power draw, not because it’s a thing that’s actually happening. 

At best, we’ll see something like Steamdeck performance, and that costs $500. Comparing a Series S, which sells for $300 but is MUCH bigger, draws more power, doesn’t include a screen, and is sold at a loss, is, well. You know. It’ll be a huge improvement over the Switch, but it’s not ever going to happen to get…

I mean, it would be nice, but it’s a handheld that sells for $300. Making things portable dramatically scales back performance, and keeping it affordable further does that. The good news is it’s going to be WAY better in significant ways than a PS4 CPU or GPU, but the bad news is that it’ll be severely throttled to…

Confusion and angst? No, you blankwads, it was UNDERSTANDING and ANGER. 

While it’s super annoying that Valve called their exposure adjusting stuff HDR, it’s still really excellent and useful tech.

I don’t know who, and I don’t know in what context, but I do know from this that SOMEONE is a nightmare to work with.

lol, sorry.

I had the exact opposite reaction (though I agree his voice is sexy AF), where I was like, oh, damn, Adam Jensen is in the game, and my brain kept adding “I didn’t ask for this” anytime I got a Sam Coe disliked this message. I love his voice, but it got too cemented in my brain from Deux Ex, and now it’s tough to…

Yeah, and honestly, piloting and ship design are much bigger quality of life improvements, because your ship sucks at fights and also at hauling cargo, so being able to get B and C tier ship components just makes the whole...you know, SPACE section of the game better.
