That kinda proves my point though for the most part if you have to go all the way back to the very first game in a 15+ series to counter.

From what I found it’ll also launch on Game Pass if you want to play it without paying full price for it.

In my experience HDR does far more for picture quality then 4K vs 1080p or 1440 do. A lot of that has to do with viewing distance, TV size and such. I am holding out for a Series X mostly because I still have a lot of Xbox one games on disk my kids play and I don’t want to have a redundant console setup just for…

there are weatherproof hdmi cables though you could also just get a weatherproof wiring tube and put it in that as well.

Can you please let me finish Hades and Psychonaughts 2 first please!  

Just wanted to call out A Plague Tale especially; glad to see that getting some love from someone else. I really enjoyed it - I thought it pulled off a balance between narrative/character focus and actual gameplay that a lot of ‘story-driven’ games don’t manage nearly as gracefully. (Quite excited about the sequel, as…

Turns out his real REAL father is Jupiter, who’s just Zeus with a fake moustache on top of his already big beard?

Representation is progress and you don’t get to tell the people being represented it isn’t.

I think part of what people claim as the decline of gaming is really just a shift in how games are marketed. It feels like there is disappointment after disappointment because the games that are shoved in front of our faces tend to be the ones that have issues - but look a little deeper, and there’s more great stuff…

Agreed. Anyone who enjoyed this game and still got a refund are bad people but I do think it’s possible to play something this short and be on the fence about it the whole time.

I don’t really think this is Steam’s fault. Two hours for a refund is a pretty good window for most games, just not this one. But games this…

Better hope your motherboard supports Bluetooth....

There were many others in India (in the hundreds). For some other major examples, Calcutta became Kolkata in 2001, Madras was renamed to Chennai in 1996, Bangalore was officially renamed to Bengaluru in 2006.

BG and PoE have kind of opposite problems re: characters. Both were pretty bad at them. BG1's characters are basically bad parodies of stock player/character types you ran across in TT RPGs back then. They’re all loud annoying jerks who fight with each other (except Imoen who is a quiet jerk). BG2 does a little…

Divinity Original 2 has a lot of the good stuff from the heyday but modern amenities if you haven’t tried it (i.e. if you’re cool with like, Dragon Age good to go), or if you like weird/unique settings (Twin Peaks-inspired, steampunkish magical realist existential-cynical noir) Disco Elysium.

I find it strange how different Sony and MSoft are on pushing their subscription/streaming services.

It’s true that Mitch Hedberg used to do a lot of drugs (and continued to do so). It’s also true that he was a human being, rather than a tree, attending a Monster Magnet concert. It all checks out.

I don’t think comedy has ever been that. Instead it’s about what’s funny.

Quick Resume on Xbos Series X/S is hit or miss at the moment, it doesn’t really work for online games or games that require online features, but IF it works it’s GREAT! It even saves gamestates between power cycles.

I’ve played single-player almost exclusively since college. When your real-life friends aren’t into gaming, and you don’t like playing with randos, that’s what happens. Particularly if you *prefer* single player in the first place anyway.
