If you’re willing to take a day off to drive before noon/1pm the day you leave, you can make any other weekend a 3-day weekend and then drive whenever it’s convenient.

“The WHO’s pronouncement on non-sugar sweeteners is based on ‘the lack of evidence to suggest that NSS use is beneficial’”

2K has started to mean how much they intend for you to spend beyond the purchase price. They’re starting to surpass even Gameloft in my mind in terms of equating to microtransaction hell.

While I agree with the premise of your comment in a vacuum, I don’t think that logic applies to the point overall. Games could jump up to $300 resulting in $30/hr for a 10 hour game which is still a much better deal than “hundreds of dollars for two hours.” So if that’s your basis of an acceptable price, that opens…

I think that case applies differently for different titles at the $70 price point. It may work for titles on the very positive end of the spectrum such as TotK with the value offered and lack of add-ons (as far as we know) but looking at the opposite end of titles such as FIFA & NBA tells another story. In cases like…

Anyone outside of those with a first gen model would be much better off either emulating the game if their computer has the power or purchasing the tablet portion of an old model. Modifying a newer Switch is difficult as all hell and very easy to brick in the process.

My question is, when does it end? How long do you have to keep it all active until the TV is considered “paid off?” Regardless of how you feel about data collection, if it runs the life of the TV, assuming it’s not a lemon means that is one hell of an expensive television. While it’s not for me, I can understand the…

I’ve seen more news about them going after leaked content than I have leaked content itself. I think Nintendo should look up the Streisand Effect because I  never would’ve known about the artbook if it wasn’t for the attention brought to it from them going after it.

Even if they could generate 100%-AI content that’s usable, there’s currently no way to copyright it so another studio could grab the exact same script and remake the same thing but in their own way. The AI could also use all the new content to learn how to create future content with no repercussion. While it likely…

I only play single player outside of the same co-op titles with the wife (ie. Mario Kart) which helps with not needing to be on the latest titles all the time. Add in what you said about patches, DLC, discounts, etc. and the pros far outweigh the cons, for me anyway.

1) I don’t believe so given the likes of Sony’s ports, CD Projekt Red, etc. 2) Even if I did, I have a decade’s worth of backlog so it’d be doing me a favor and 3) Some of them do eventually remove it after the initial sale window passes. I picked up The Quarry, for example, the day they patched it out.

Hearing of a writers strike sparks my memory of the premature cancellation of Journeyman (2007). RIP.

Unless it includes patching out the Denuvo malware, I’ll pass.

On a related note, that old phrase “reduce, reuse, recycle” consists of three great concepts but just as importantly, they’re in that exact order for a reason. The priorities should be to first reduce your amount of waste, then to reuse everything you can (or make it so someone else can), and then to recycle what…

Not to be confused with your cold water heater.

Which is funny because even going to Outlook.com now redirects you to an Outlook subdomain of live.com yet you can’t register a new one.

I was lucky enough to grab an @live.com address before Microsoft bailed on that whole shtick. First name, Last name, @live.com I think has worked well in my favor for being clear, concise, a little unique (I don’t think live.com addresses are common anymore and are obscure enough to not age me), and easy to…

I’m not saying A definitely caused B but the “Contains Denuvo” & “Has Performance Issues” Venn diagram sure has a ton of overlap.

Not good enough. Any unavoidable charges (excluding mandated variables, ie. government taxes, etc.) should be included in the advertised price as a cost of doing business. Otherwise, it’s a matter of advertising a false rate to appear more competitive until potential customers have taken an active step towards your…
