Last free weekend with Uplay+ (the service has a lot that I’m interested in but for me its not going to be worth the cost that they are asking) so I’m probably going to get in some Anno 1800 and mess around in Odyssey for a bit.

Actually if unreleased games are deprioritized in the algorithm then it gets harder for Epic to figure out which ones to try to poach. 

Their changes are likely zero sum because for every group that might get a bump from changes another group is going to get a decrease. I guess in a perfect world someone could develop the perfect algorithm so that it’s a net increase all around but good luck with that. Steam has ~32,000 games listed, you can’t…

Playing baseball my junior year of high school. I got a hit and was on first and our coach put a hit and and run on.  I take off and our batter hits a little squib down the first base line.  I’m basically standing on second and I could swear I hear the ump call “Foul Ball!” and so I proceed to very casually jog back…

I have been scrolling hoping someone brought up Caesar. He might not be #1 but he's probably Top 5 material. I wonder where Alexander would place as well. 

I used to love long games like this but I just don’t have time to get through them anymore. It took me about 9 months to beat Breath of the Wild and I didn’t get near everything finished, I just got to a point after 130ish hours to where I said I just need to go beat the game otherwise I’m not sure when I ever will.

This is a pleasant surprise and if it runs well I will likely have my Fall Switch game.  I keep waiting for either Divinity Original Sin to come too but that might be a bridge too far.

A tabletop experience should be about sharing a physical space with friends, convening over a tangible game, something you can feel and fold and push in your hands.

Hopefully I will be making some Mario Maker 2 courses but I have been struggling with them lately. I keep getting ideas that I’m interested in trying out but I either can’t pull them off how I want to or they don’t end up being very fun when I try to play them and I scrap them. Its a weird contrast to watching my 5…

I haven’t taken any of the tests but a lot of my family has and it has lead to a couple of interesting interactions. We always knew my grandfather (father’s side) was adopted and about a year before he passed my sister was able to track down his probable birth parents and his given birth name but she wasn’t 100%…

Valve’s share is already lowered on large games like the ones that Epic is mostly going after.  If I remember my numbers correctly at $10 million sales the split goes to 75/25 and at $50 million sales its 80/20.  Epic has been going after larger more established publishers/developers who would likely already be in…

Really? No one is saying Breath of the Wild? I mean the Switch is pretty damn portable and BOTW is at least at a minimum a Top 5 game this generation (its #2 on my all time list). 

A little later, he started getting good enough at Spider-Man that Dad didn’t have to sit there beside him to help through the hard bits.

BOTW is my favorite game of the generation and one of my Top 5 of all-time but I was disappointed with how the ending worked. I got to the point where I had put in ~130ish hours in and was just ready to go and beat the game even though I had a bunch of side quests and shrines left to do. After I beat Ganon I was…

I’m fully against pre-ordering but Nintendo can just take my wallet right now.  BOTW is my favorite game of the generation and probably second or third for me all-time so I am going to be all over this when it comes out.

Just like you do in Discord and put in Lawsoneer#1000 or whatever. The number tag doesn't show up on a server or in PMs. 

As someone who has lived in Indiana his whole life this is definitely the truth. There was a large contingent of people who were at a minimum Confederate sympathizers and many of whom wanted to secede during the Civil War. The descendents of those people really haven't evolved in any way and insist of keeping us as…

I don’t think you need any specific hardware to run this, it should run just in a Chrome browser on your PC or phone once it fully rolls out. The Chromebook Ultra & controller are probably going to be the optimal way to play but you don’t need to buy them to use the service.

Question, do you already use Game Pass or PS+ or Gold Live or Switch Online or anything else like that?  This is the same thing, you pay for access to a library and then you still need to buy new games at launch.  This is pretty much the same model everyone else has.

I believe they talked before how their recommended speeds are 25mbps for 1080 and 30 mbps for 4k.
