It took some serious effort to fuck up Cowboy Bebop, but Netflix was willing to put in the work.

You seem to be under the wildly bizarre opinion that places that “allow” dogs advertise it blatantly and obviously in some way. The vast majority do not - either it’s on their website, or you have to ask, or occasionally there’s a small sign (but that’s not typical, in my experience). Usually it’s just the absence of…

This is an attractive suggestion.

I agree, but there’s a difference between “Not a game for me” and complaints that fundamentally don’t make sense. This is the latter.

I’d been using the name Theon (which I came up with at like 11) for all my CRPG and some of my MMO characters, and then I read a little book called A Game of Thrones, and well that was over, and the TV series only made it way, way more over.

Yes I was thinking of getting this, though maybe not for a month or two, and very glad I read it because my instincts would have been the same as the writer - find I build I liked and try desperately to make it work in all situations.

Sure it is better, because you can be intelligent in how you change your loadout.

That’s a great video, thank you!

Argh don’t make me resubscribe to Disney just so I can rewatch Andor, I’ll do it next year!

Christ I live in the UK and didn’t know that re: pronunciation. Even by our standards that’s particularly dumb. 

There’s never been a rule that Switch games must have identical features and modes to non-Switch versions, and indeed, they often do not.

“Later in the ceremony, the stage was rushed by the Dancing Itos.”

I mean, that has a lot more style and is more together as a look than shirtless Bats so, I think he’s right on that basis.

Their setup looks so godawful ergonomically that I don’t think Nintendo would sue just because they wouldn’t want to be associated with that mess.

Absolutely, can confirm. I was shocked because I followed the guide to do it going “Oh god this isn’t going to work is it?”, and literally the only thing I had to do beyond the guide was reboot the Steam Deck once, and then it all worked (so it took me more like 10-15 minutes longer rather than 5 because I needlessly…

That’s an awful lot of very defensive words to mask something that’s a basic truth - if you can get what the public perceives as “basically the same product” at a significant lower price, even with significantly lower performance, guess what? The public buys the cheap one.

Yeah, because mostly because those people are clueless and kind of want to do things the hard way by installing an entire other OS, because they think that’s easier, when it totally isn’t. The reality is, it’s pretty easy - and I mean that genuinely, not bullshit nerd hatequotes “easy” - to for example get Diablo IV…

“many a gamer has desired a fully functioning Windows device which would have access to titles the Deck can’t run (or at least run easily), like Destiny 2 or Diablo IV”

Except it didn’t.

It really hasn’t been weird at all, unless you literally only came into “gaming discourse” in the last few years. It’s similar to the “discourse” on Skyrim and FO4, with a split between people who irrationally hyped and super-touchy about anyone who isn’t also irrationally hyped (c.f. “harsh criticism”, of which there…
