I moved four times in the last four years, keeping the boxes your consoles came in is great to keep them protected in that process. Learned that when I was in college and I kept my Wii box for years for moving out at the end of the school year.

Here’s the thing about ai employees. Once they get the work done, and the program is running without flaw, why do you need to keep them on? The idea behind the push for ai is that they can fully do away with their workforce. The people making the ai’s are putting themselves out of work, thinking that they’re simply…

gotta pay for all that R&D that’s paid off in the first 10 minutes of sales...forever!

And then I think about what IF they actually pulled it off - so you end up with games that absolutely require the latest/greatest/most-expensive Nvidia AI card, or not only do they look worse but none of the NPCs can talk to you correctly (plus whatever else the AI is driving)? The actual gameplay experience (not just…

And of course developers that slash their staff sizes and replace them with AI will pass the savings on to consumers!

Disney is not currently suing people for trying to watch ‘Song of the South’ online. And almost their entire film library is available for viewing on their streaming service. It’s a bad example. 

Nintendo insists their intellectual property is valuable enough that emulation is this big threat to them.  Simultaneously that same intellectual property isn’t valuable enough to always make available for sale to the general public

I’m not usually that guy but this is the third article about a trailer for a remake of a game that is about as related to the original as current Atari is to original Atari. Enough already! And get off my lawn!

Waaaait a minute, they’re rebooting Marathon, probably the third- or fourth-best story in all of video games...as a multiplayer shooter? That feels like when somebody decided Legacy of Kain should be a multiplayer thing and made Nosgoth. On one hand, the design work is amazing. On the other, don’t do this to Marathon,…

I was really excited for Destiny before it came out, but once I finally got to play it, I only made it a few missions in before deciding it just wasn’t for me. This quickly went from an “Oooooooo” to a “Noooooooo”.

“I just think loneliness right now is at a high because of our society.”

That’s impossible to say because we have not a damn clue what it actually looks like.

no gameplay in the trailer, who gives a shit.

If you aren’t going to show me the actual game I’m not interested in the slightest at this point.

Seems beautiful, but I just... have no interest in that style of shooter. It was the same way with Destiny for me - gorgeous art, cool lore, amazing feeling gunplay but everything else around it just doesn’t click for me.

WOW! A live service game. Cause they last more then two years. Can’t wait.

“I just think loneliness right now is at a high because of our society.”

It’s going to be hard not to sound like that guy, but classic Mac games like the Marathon and Escape Velocity series hold a special place in my heart, and not once during that 6 minute trailer did I see a single thing besides the logo and one shot of a S’pht in the fog that gave me the slightest Marathon vibes.

The…

“In my opinion it’s a prime opportunity for an exciting new sci-fi shooter experience.”

As someone who was using Macs in the mid 90's (pre-iMac era), there were not a whole lot of compelling games available to play on my Performa 6214. Blizzard sold most of their games to be played on Windows or OS 7, there were the Ambrosia SW (R.I.P.) games, which were mostly re-skins of classic early arcade games, and…
