I considered it, but apparently the PS5 is backwards compatible with 99% of the PS4's library.  So the pro-bet is to wait for the inevitable mid-life cycle hardware revision / price drop (and hope that backwards compatibility isn’t removed in that version, because... Sony).

Unrelated to the article but for the header image, but Mike from Monsters, Inc. looks like he’s been working out.

Ad-on drives seems like they would invite / or at least make it easier to pirate games?

Curses, I misremembered and a Google search did not help. I guess the Cable costume is what was being referenced.  Mea culpa.

Cable is also listed as slain on the poster, but is still a playable character in the game, I believe.  That would seem to imply that the poster represents a possible future, as the comic it’s referencing is?

It’s worth pointing out that the projector is apparently only 800 x 400 in display resolution, per the reviews. It has an internal media player you which supports files up to 1080p in resolution, but the projector itself is more limited.

I enjoyed Destiny 1, but had been hesitant to jump into Destiny 2 because of the hardware requirements. With this change, I’m uncertain that I ever will.  Destiny’s grind was always offputting to me, but I generally enjoyed it’s narrative.  To see so much of it just... go away...  well, it’s not a great look. …

Ico.  Although, while I love the game in principle, playing it is a constant series of “Oh this bit.  I hated this bit.”

“In war, everyone loses.  But maybe you can lose the least.”

“Ghost of Tsushima puts you in control of Jin Sakai, one of the island’s last remaining samurai on the island.”
might be “...one of the island’s last remaining samurai.” or “...one of the last remaining samurai on the island.”

The typical price for a new Subbed VHS price (and later DVD release) around that time in my area was $30 per volume, and many released series had at least 8 volumes, so if you were buying piecemeal it could cost $240. Since there’s been roughly 57% inflation since then, the same price in 2020 dollars would be roughly…

There was a time when I would pay those sorts of prices for anime. Specifically, 1998. Nowadays, not so much. Which is a shame, because they’ve got a few series that I’d really like to watch.

One supposes it’s only a matter of time before some enterprising company starts playing streaming ads during loading screens. As the article notes, you’re a captive audience. 

Theoretically, he has enough phones to affect traffic patterns to make this slightly less dangerous for himself.

Wow, I made some rather glaring mistakes when I submitted this and it’s too late to edit.

I wasn’t a huge fan of the first game, having found the actual gameplay to be lacking. However, I powered through the game in one weekend most of it in a single sitting, entirely on the strength of the game’s narrative, which itself was almost solely based on the relationship between Joel and Ellie.  Unrelated, I will…

I saw nothing which prioritized the purchase of a PS5, and the console looks... not great.
I’m sure I’ll end up getting one eventually, but they didn’t sell me on it this afternoon.

A friend of mine who works in finance described the situation to me thusly: a company can take on debt (even if they don’t actually need it) and use that money for general business expenses. These include things like paying dividends to investors. Because debt has certain tax advantages, they can make a savings on…

It’s not a vanilla Sudoku puzzle. There are additional constraints which allow for the relatively limited starting point to full define the end state. The video walks through how it works out.
