You think Kotaku, of all places, is where you’re going to find the mindset of, “If it’s pay-to-win, let’s pretend it doesn’t exist, really stick it to them, make them change their ways”? Is that even the way to incite change in the industry?

Get FireFox, install uBlock Origin, Privacy Badger, Ghostery, NoScript, and various “fingerprint” spoofer add-ons.

I hate authentication. I hate passwords, keys, the overhead and suffering that is encryption, codes, and Post-It notes on the fridge in case somebody needs access to the WiFi.

This whole package sounds amazing. If my eyes could drool, they’d be doing that right about now.

So good.

As someone not at all strategy-minded, and who doesn’t look at guides or what the meta is for any game: I’m pretty proud to see that Glasses/Bell is a thing, and that I settled on it without trying too hard.

It’s barely any faster than a normal run. Worse so in Infinite. Kept thinking, “This Spartan sprints like my toddler runs.”

Every day that passes, I feel increasingly like that gross hippie stereotype that I’d have made fun of in high school. Pandemic/becoming a stay-at-home-dad gave me opportunity to not use deodarant an much/not at all, and I’ve actually stopped using soap in the shower. “Soap” helps, but marginally more than just water…

“Many question whether or not antiperspirant is safe. “Antiperspirant myths exist, including that it is a leading cause of breast cancer or Alzheimer’s disease,” says Dr. Chen. But she tells Good Housekeeping that multiple studies have failed to find conclusive evidence linking the use of antiperspirants to either…

Yes, in terms of doing what’s currently popular. But at the same time, for Nintendo? No. Since when has Nintendo ever marched to anybod’s beat but their own? They do things on Ninetendo time - they arrive precisely when they mean to. And rarely does anybody have a legitimate argument against Nintendo games provding a…

High speed, low latency storage is expensive. They straight up skipped SATA SSDs and went to NVMe - something that most PC gamers haven’t even bothered with yet. Expect cut corners and/or high cost...

Great.

Make them rue the day they thought they could give Cave Johnson, lemons.

“... the most simple new console jump ever...”

Selling to whom is an important metric that they can’t possibly measure.

If they sell a hundred consoles to a single scalper, a thousand times over... eventually those scalpers are going to offload their inventory, and the sales numbers for new, in-store/site product are going to drop significantly.

My first thoughts are, “but what if I want to share this with a future generation” (in general - not this game in particular), but upon thinking on it some more, I realize it’s a means to an end , and just because somebody creates something, anything, doesn’t mean it needs to be preserved, stored away in a digital…

I wouldn’t not watch that.

Wait, so, you haven’t used your PC in months, in fear that it’ll stop working and then you won’t be able to.. use your PC for months?

“High-end televisions” pretty much ruins your credibility immediately. Most TVs don’t even do 120hz, most of the ones that do have poor pixel response times and high motion blur - and most games don’t hit 60, let alone 120FPS when you play as the developr intended (with a higher level of detail, draw distance, high…
