I don’t know exactly where the line was but I do know that we crossed it a long time ago...

I have not read it. I read the Sprawl trilogy (and Difference Engine) and while I enjoyed the plot very much I found his writing style rather bland so have not read the rest of his novels. (Side note, don’t ever trying listening to the Neuromancer audio book read by Gibson himself, it is the worst).

Comparing Hatsune Miku to cyberpunk is the biggest affront to cyberpunk I have seen in a hell of a long time.

Flagship phones are always the way to go anyway. I doubt it will be offloading processing to a server but unless they are turning it into a single player game it will require being online to function. Then again, rebooting 11 for phones seems like a weird thing to even do.

Early Access is basically the only way some really niche games by small developers are ever going to get made. Paying for early access for a game from a big publisher that is releasing the game in a couple of months is basically just the old beta process but now you have to pay for it and it is pretty dumb but that…

It is almost as if just being good at throwing a thing doesn’t actually make a person good at anything else, or even a good person...

I am sure there is more to Second Life than just furrys and weird sex but there is so much weird sex that it is the first, second, and probably third thing you encounter. The two times I tried to figure out what Second Life was all I found was creepy and sad sex themed content.

“but in practice, it’s just a haven for weird sex."

So? Just go ahead and play it on a PC then, it works great. Last year’s jokes are getting a little stale aren’t they?

Arkham City? The game from 2011? It runs great on PC and it always did. Do you mean Arkham Knight? The game from 2015? That also works great on PC and has for a long time now, even if it didn’t at release (personally, I had no trouble at all playing all the way through it before the patch came out).

It was a dark time in gaming...

I still definitely need to give this one a try since Morrison is always worth at least a try and he has been talking about his interest in early WW for a long time. Sad to hear it seems like he wasn’t as confident in the story as he probably thought he was.

It is a weird but extremely satisfying niche.

How does Second Life even still exist?

I only didn’t mention Supergirl because I haven’t watched any of it myself. I hear mostly dismissive things about it from people equally old and grumpy as myself but the internet seems to suggest a lot of people love it so it is good to think that it might have a strong following. I really enjoyed Constantine before…

In the animated realm there is no competition, DC has always been better. In the TV realm... I enjoyed the first couple of seasons of Arrow before it became too much of a soap opera and Flash is pretty good, World of Tomorrow or whatever is a BIG pass, and Gotham is just kind of a meandering mess. If it was just…

As a decades long DC reader I had to just stop last year with the DC You refocus. The N52 was such a mixed bag of better and worse and better cut short to give way for more worse. I decided to take a year off to see what DC did and after a year things are just being reshuffled again... They really need to sort…

They don’t. Microsoft doesn’t know their audience at all and it has shown for years.

And if only 25% of computers (your guess) were used to play games on that would still be more than there are xbox ones out there... I am not sure what your point is? In terms of PC gaming the vast majority (very nearly the entirety) is done on Windows systems which puts Microsoft in a position where they should be…

The Windows app store is no sort of challenger at all though. Based on Microsoft’s history with PC gaming there is no reason to expect that their app store offerings are ever going to matter. Some shitty xbox ports with “crossplay” where they play better on xbox than PC because of all the self imposed technical…
