I asked this very question some time ago. Someone told me this in response.

Man, why’d we have to lose someone like Iwata but we still have to deal with Bobby Kotick?

I completely agree with you here. Don’t get me wrong, higher resolution IS nice, but like you said, it’s also, for me, at the very bottom of the list (and I have 4K TVs and PC monitors). Now, if I had a 70" TV or bigger, maybe I’d say otherwise, but that’s not the case.

Focusing on 4K is a colossal waste. Focus on framerates, more complex simulations, higher player counts, ANYTHING but fucking 4K. Breath of the Wild looks just fine on my 4K set thanks to decent upscaling, and I would be perfectly contented if the next Switch remained a 1080p system.

Such a bold and refreshing new take. Wonderful. 

It was an honor to work with you. Beautiful note and best of luck on your next gig!!

Not announced: Hollow Knight: Silksong.

I want Darksiders 3 to be good. I want it to do well because I want to see that 4th game but I have a feeling this will sell terribly and get meh reviews. At best I expect it to be a 6 and a 7 and part of me thinks that’s fine, it’s ok to have a B tier budget game but after this insane year of blockbusters...let’s…

Maybe with Final Fantasy XVI they can just make a game, sell the game, and then we have the entire game. That’d be nice.

And I’ll bet that if I handed you a 3D printer or a scrollsaw you’d have no idea what you’re doing. I’ve spent $1000+ on just consumable supplies to make a single outfit, and none of that is going to get re-used in the future. I’ve spent way more than that on tools. I’m still not going to charge people money to take…

mobile gaming has always been a joke.

Republican in the front, skinhead in the back.

I assume we can look forward to Penn State erecting a statue in honor of Simon soon.

The new movies acknowledge the prequels. Kylo Ren mentions a clone army in the first one and Luke briefly recounts the rise of Darth Sidious in the new one. There’s not a lot of reason to dwell on those events 50something years later, honestly.

Thanks for reading, Ginger!

The thing about competitive trash-talk is that it comes in “levels.” Those levels are divided into what’s appropriate amongst friends who know each other well enough to be able to accept a barb without taking offense, mixed groups of friends and acquaintances where more care is warranted, groups of strangers where…

Two problems with this story (or really one combined major problem):

He doesn’t look nowhere near scared enough. Like I want this shitstick scared full stopped.

Completely agree. I think the player should face charges equal to Barriss. Giving a known swatted an address makes you a facilitator.

As do I.

The officer involved should also face review and potential charges, given the situation on the ground—but the folks who precipitated the situation need to eat the heavy end of the hammer.
