Why would you want this type of consolidation? This is a really weird position to take, particularly since the whole reason why Nintendo’s games are often so great is that they make the hardware that enables their games.

What’s the advantage of shipping them with the package? I don’t want the battery pack, I have Eneloops, so for me, the battery pack is just e-waste. IMO, it makes sense to sell them separately so only people who actually want them get them.

Dunno, her voice lines in the trailer sound fine to me, and having her in the game is clearly good PR that reaches people outside of the normal MK fandom. She’s a pretty good actress, so as long as they don’t sacrifice quality for notoriety, I don’t really have an issue with this.

The latest SR felt like the first Assassin’s Creed to me. Lots of interesting ideas that don’t quite come together properly, but still a pretty fun experience. I would have loved to see what Volition could have done in a follow-up.

But they’re white, so it doesn’t count.

“He wants the government to help him, but he doesn’t want the government to help other people.”

This seemed pretty stupid at first, but for 200 bucks, I might consider buying it as a convenient way to play PS5 games in bed with a proper PS5 controller. Now if only there were more PS5-exclusive games.

I wasn’t a huge fan of the original game, but that sequel description sounds rad as hell.

It’s hilarious, I had the exact same reaction :-D

You are just factually wrong. Trump is specifically *not* charged for inciting that riot, because it is, in fact, a thorny free speech issue. He is charged with conspiracy counts, and with obstruction of an official proceeding.

Yeah, I have to say, it sounds like this was pretty much an accident. He didn’t expect it to escalate this much, and honestly, I’m not sure he should have. I wouldn’t have expected so many people to show up for a guy whose name I’m hearing for the first time today. Was it stupid? I guess so. Was it malicious? Doesn’t…

They made videos, podcasts, downloadable guides and other resources mainly aimed at developers (in the general vein of “what can we do to make games less sexist”). She also gave talks about the topic at developers. And they ran a hotline for people affected by online harassment.

Yeah. When I first watched her videos, I agreed with some of what she said, and didn’t fully agree with other things, but overall found them pretty interesting, and thought she brought in a voice that was previously largely missing in the games media. It didn’t even occur to me that what she said could even be mildly…

How is that even legal? This has to be some type of fraud or something.

The idea that they might have lost the source code and resources for these files is just crazy to me. We’re not talking about a game that was released in the 80s or something, when we didn’t have modern development infrastructure. These games are 10 years old, how can a company like Activision not have all of this…

People have much larger TVs nowadays, so it’s probably only natural that characters shrink. Personally, I never found the size of the characters to be a problem. What I find more distracting is if there’s lots of stuff moving around, particle effects, etc.

In this case, it’s both figurative and literal.

It’s usually not money laundering, it’s fake transactions amongst people who know each other to make it appear that the value of this stuff is way higher than it actually is. In this case, though, it does appear to be a legitimate sale.

That’s fair, but maybe there’s a better way to do that. Like have a way to mark a page’s relevancy to the general public, and prioritize these pages in searches while still also allowing other topics to be covered.

It looks funny, but as somebody who essentially has a split Gamecube controller on his Switch, it’s probably really comfy. Also, the fact that it runs Android is great news, it means we can install emulators on it, so it’s actually going to be a useful device, rather than just a weird streaming thing for the PS5.
