My subscription lapsed last night. I basically only had it to watch The Simpsons, and I’m a little sad that I won’t have that ready to go whenever I want, but I’ll just resub for a month next time I wanna watch again. There’s nothing interesting on there if you don’t care about Star Wars or Marvel.

I must have missed this breakdown, but I seem to not be able to DM anyone from any platform now. Hopefully it’s just busted and not something they’re removing?

I kind of get it. I’ve enjoyed some otherwise bad games just because they were skinned in a franchise I liked. (Looking at you TMNT: Out of the Shadows.) But if it came with baggage, it would have certainly been easy to skip. Baggage beyond being an Activision game, I mean, I guess.

Other MMOs are playable on console, so I imagine they could work it out. Also, as others have pointed out, PC Game Pass.

For the love of god, please let Blizzard go their own way.

I dunno if he still trains regularly, but I imagine he could fuck up the average person, unless they just massively outweigh him or something. Seems unwise.

Yeah, it wasn’t much, but it helped. I like it.

Also the fact that you could kill AI soldiers for points if you suck at shooters, like me. I can still contribute! Not sure any other game has that.

Unless you’re playing it right now, you’re always overdue for a Titanfall 2 replay. I don’t even know what I’m doing on Kotaku rn.

Respawn was a split from Infinity Ward so they could do what they wanted. Maybe they can do it again and leave Respawn to make a new studio with a sick new IP. Please? I mean, if EA isn’t gonna let them work their magic.

Oh.

It’s possible that it’s not that complicated to install, but I went to grab it and was immediately overwhelmed and bailed. This is what companies need to understand. Release your shit as often as possible, on as many platforms as possible, because people will pay you for it. If it’s easier to buy, and affordable, it…

Feel free to point out where my post said anything about cost effective. But given that a PC has significantly more uses than just gaming, it makes sense that it costs more.

I didn’t say it was cheaper. I was just pointing out that “It’s not 2002 anymore and building a decent PC now will last you a long time.”

Gaming is…

...so information about your progress toward a competitive update will always be viewable.

Yeah, they widened the scope of what ranks can play together to cut down on queue time, I think. It sucks.

Well, great news. It’s not 2002 anymore and building a decent PC now will last you a long time. I had my PC previous to this one for, like, eight years. I’m currently on year three of my current PC and it runs things just fine. Am I playing everything on Ultra in 4k? No, but neither is a PS5.

Right, like, isn’t this what you want? A site that isn’t just gonna placate companies by regurgitating PR? I know it’s what I want.

It doesn’t bother me that they have to do these review roundups, because whatever. But it is very funny to me that so many companies have blacklisted them. Seems stupid given that—I imagine—they have a pretty high readership. But it’s chuckle worthy none-the-less.

Yeah, seems like maybe they should just cancel. But some other folks have pointed out that he’s not really involved in the creation of the show anymore. It’s probably still doable.

I was really excited for this, and I can’t say what it’s missing, but after about 15 hours, all it does is make me wanna reinstall Vermintide 2. That’s a shame.
