Hmm, lots of How-To articles that seem to be regurgitated Tik-Tok/YouTube shorts information.  

Nobody’s under the illusion this package is mandatory, so pointing out that you don’t have to buy it is a straw man. The problem is that it exists at all, that CIG are even selling digital items at this price point in the first place.

Drop a million dollars in my lap and I might be able to retire a few years early. Drop a billion dollars in my lap, and I can live like a king for 500 years. There is absolutely no use for a billion dollars except for taking food out of the mouths of millions of people. It’s not enough for them to be rich - others…

So the whole reason they opted not to include multiplayer in Part Deux and then charged more for a remake of the first game without it is now dust. Wonderful. God I feel like 2023 is the year of commenting how bad I feel for the regular folks at Naughty Dog.

I mean, could they just remake the original game’s Factions MP with Last of Us Two’s modern gameplay and call it a day? A full live service game with years of planned content did seem too much, why not just give us a modern way to play the MP so many people found surprisingly good from back in the day?

Journalists just aren’t great at math, and misinterpret that slowing acceleration doesn’t actually mean slowing velocity. Velocity is still increasing. Every year aside from early pandemic has been on an upward trend for EV sales, especially lately.

I think it’s fair when they use words like impossible. Just say you don’t want it. Don’t make up some bullshit.

My favourite part of the article is where you linked to the trailer so I could watch it.

Yes it was probably what was use to test the facial animations using the MetaHuman system.

Which at this point in development might be the only thing they had to show lol

this comment section is like that island full of soldiers lost after ww2 who were still fighting the ‘avatar has no cultural impact’ battle.

Yeah the writer should have, quite easily, looked for an answer before asking a nonsense question about gear boxes. Before we get all “You don’t even know what an Assault Rifle is!” pedantic on the point we should approach the broader question they are asking: “Why are such powerful, nee dangerous in the wrong hands,…

To be fair to Slate, the gist of the article was that there really is no need for cars that can go 3-4 times the speed limit. And they’ve got a point. The same way we don’t need giant truuuuuuuuks to drop the kids off at school, the same way we don’t need hockey mom Expeditions to get the groceries, we don’t need…

I always thought when the TV exec suggests that the characters on Itchy & Scratchy should be asking, “Where’s Poochie?” whenever he isn’t on screen was just a funny bit of absurdity. But I’m realizing that this was actually meant to placate an audience that genuinely wanted to know where Poochie went.

I couldn't get into Futurama because John Futurama never showed up *once*.

People incapable of character growth hate character growth. 

Wow, now the comment section is an article... and not just any article, a slideshow, for as many clicks as possible. A sizeable number of those comments didn’t even seem to know the difference between a remake and a remaster or how dev cycles work... This might be a new low.

Too little too late. They’d have to do a dozen things to fix the game to bring me back. I posted this awhile ago on a different post but it got no traction so I’ll post it again.

When David Foxx reached out to Jalopnik, he was on his 10th day of a 19-day vacation

makes sense, they clearly wanted Halsin and Minthara to be exclusive to that specific choice.

But it’s not the only thing it fixes. People were also using this exploit to save Alfira in a durge playthrough.

I am flummoxed that the take here is that Johnson is somehow one of those “broke boys”, instead of some mixture of the evils of Republican loopholes (and competent exploitation thereof) and the torrent of improper disclosure (and other financial) scandals even Jez has been covering
