“So we end up where we are with Starfield, a game that visually looks like something from this era, but still plays and operates like a game from 2005"

We always talked about the ‘Golden Age of Television’ ending at some point, but I really didn’t think things would get this dire.

Looks Incredible

It was a cgi trailer with no gameplay. I couldn't infer anything from the trailer except you play as a bounty hunter. Which is good. Too much star wars stuff is about the jedi

it does make Star Wars Outlaws look like it will be centered on characters rather than mechanics and a barrage of systems Ubisoft’s map games have become infamous for. At least that’s what I’m hoping.

This is the problem with so many sequels. The execs all think “just add young people,” and it should work while completely missing what made the original entertaining.

Can’t wait to look up a strategy guide on how to find and complete all the new quests. Honestly my only complaint about the game is how ridiculous it would be to try and complete the game naturally without a strategy guide telling you where to go to meet a person standing in a general area or where to use key items,…

I suspect a video about the years-long slog through lobbying and legislature, with its accompanying failures and setbacks and systemic sabotage, to finally result in a compromise which allows for some mild progress, will not generate the revenue sufficient to fund such an effort.

This guy can give away money because…

TikTok is owned by a Chinese company (which is controlled by the Chinese government), collects biometric data on users, and Chinese admins have full access to all of that data.  These are documented facts.  It’s not racist against Asians to say that TikTok is spying on you.

The real lesson is being missed:  TikTok is shit, stop intentionally subjecting yourself to Chinese spyware.

The last jedi IS a terrible movie. 

Oh god. Sidewinder. The source of one of my greatest memories ever in college gaming. We had a 4 hour game CTF game on that map....3 hours spent at 2-2 and I was stuck hiding in a ladder while the team struggled to fight their way into the enemy base to kill who was holding our flag. The enemy team was doing the same.

Surprised you didn’t put the puns in the title.

But wait, don’t Apple phones contain an internet browser?  One that comes pre-installed on the device?  One that could be used to browse an essentially limitless volume of “adult content”?  Is Apple then on the hook for anything that could be accessed via Safari?

Whats the problem with that? Do you expect that she’s the first, or last, that Epic wants to shower with dollars for some publicity?

are you going to donate 80k to charity? no? okay then.

You don’t seem to understand that not every blockchain is going to use anywhere near the amount of energy that bitcoin uses.

You will never convince me that this is the work of actual human being working on code and not some kind of dark magic obtained via ritual sacrifice.

“I can understand releasing an edited trailer in China, because the CCP’s strict controls over foreign media (and local support of this) is the price you pay for doing business there, but changing everyone’s trailer is a bit much.”

Because China uses their giant market to force companies to do their bidding. If they…
