It doesn’t matter what you’re playing, it matters that you identify as a gamer.

“This might piss some people off, but I don’t care. I don’t exactly see all the people who exclusively play online games as real gamers”

I created a different version of that FFX video as part of a major restoration project last year.

That’s not uncommon. I spent over a decade at a media outlet that was part of a larger family of sites and owned by the same company. Just because Site A got a software code or hardware to review doesn’t mean that Site B would get one, even when both were owned by the same corporate parent.

“If the game can run at 30fps on the Series S, there’s no reason why the Series X can’t run it at 60fps at the same settings.”

Agreed.

“And even though Wentworth hasn’t been on anybody’s screen in over a decade.”

Yeah, we rent, so a lot of modifications are out of the question. A smart thermostat is an interesting idea, though.

“This smacks of gatekeeping. 🙄”

“Electric providers in Texas have been offering cheaper rates in exchange for remote control of your thermostat so they can change the temp settings during high demand.”

I’m getting flashbacks to my first car -- a 1984 Chevy Celebrity.

“I mean that as a compliment—all of Michelangelo’s women look like men with tits stuck on them.” Um, what?”

When Roberts was the swing vote? Excellent. Roberts really cares about maintaining a sense of legitimacy. While he is no moderate, he is at least a conservative who pays more than mere lip service to the idea that the Supreme Court should rule on behalf of all Americans.

I read an article on this that backs up your point, but discussing Alito, not Thomas.

A reviewer calling an ending a “weird bummer” is no different than a headline saying “Stray Starts Great, Goes Downhill,” which is exactly the kind of headline one writes when the goal is to tell the potential reader something about the topic so they can determine if they want to read it or not.

Yeah. I think I feel somewhat similarly, though with some other interests alongside gaming. But it’s not that I *dislike* gaming now. It’s that I engage with it differently, and with less intensity.

I’ve been a gamer for decades. The number of titles I play per year has been dropping for years. I’ve found other things to do with my compute interests — I took up video editing and content restoration.

A lot, considering the chip is no longer manufactured. They’d have to find someone to build it, or pay to port the design to a modern process.

You do good work and this game looks awesome. Illegitimi non carborundum.

Oh, well, what are you, some kind of commie?
