Does Microsoft require a Microsoft account of some sort to use an Xbox?

Facebook has owned oculus for a while. This isn’t news it was inevitable. 

I doubt it. Quest owners have invested a fortune in add ons and games attached to there account. I doubt this will do more than mildly annoy most and cause one or two to sell.

“Apple does not harvest user data.”

That’s not even close to being true.

The shitty gamepad was my second option. 

Me: Time to check the Saturday page of Kotaku...

I understand. It’s hard to keep passions in check when talking about what one wants from a Star Trek movie.

“This is becoming a speech.”

No. It’s 100% on point. The films are often too focused on pew-pew space battles and big-budget VFX...often to the detriment of what makes Star Trek, well, Star Trek — exploration, character relations, the human condition, etc, etc.

This rant may have gotten away from me.

Star Trek has never been particularly successful as a film franchise. Oh, it’s had a few hits, but adjusting on its ratio for hits and misses, well, they’ve been at their best when they’ve been at their lowest budgets. (TWOK famously shot on roughly a TV production budget)

I would say, if we’re gonna list the few good things the guy does, fucking with China is probably one of them. I’m not like a smart foreign policy person, so I assume if he’s doing it, there’s a better way, but I don’t have better suggestions either.

Definitely fuck Tencent, though.

Look, I hate your idiot president as much as the next guy but as someone who has a real passion for game design, TenCent’s famous “monetization-first” approach to the craft makes me physically ill so I kind of don’t mind seeing someone telling them to fuck off.

I go to Tokyo every year, except this one. :(

But yeah I once saw a guy wearing tactical gear and waving two Tech-9 guns (airsoft I’m sure) around in the air as he walked across Shibuya Crossing. No one cared at all. If that happened in NYC, he would have been shot by the cops.

Is it horrible that I just wanted them to pause and go into setting and fix the map at some point so it rotated instead of being static. 

Personally, I have more problem with the tone and atmosphere of the boss fight, the mechanic itself is fine. The way the boss is revealed is masterfully well done. Everything leading to the boss fight has this eerie, suspenseful, scary tone, but Naughty Dog ruins it with one moment.

Completely disagree, although I was also on Hard, so it apparently wasn’t as save-scummy. The only thing I really didn’t like is that once it spawned the “baby”, I tried very hard to kill it, thinking it was the easier target, and just so I didn’t get blindsided by it while trying to fight the Rat King, only to…

I was too stressed the fuck out to even think about the mechanics of this fight. I was running for my life and taking every chance I could to shoot it or throw bombs at it. It felt like an accomplishment after it finally went down, when I had no idea how long it was gonna take or if I was gonna have enough supplies to…
