Because Amazon is not just one weirdo in their livingroom - it’s a corporation that provides an effectively free service in exchange for information. Maybe I want to exchange my informanion for goods and services. Shoot, I can even exchange that information more than once, with multiple paying/providing companies.

Oh no, all my top secret missle codes that I say aloud for fun.

Nonting has to give. It’s really not that big of a community, all things considered. Probably doesn’t even make much, if any, profit, the whole tournament scene. In the end, it’s marketing for a game that’s already in the hands of everybody that wants it/anybody who doesn’t have it, but wants it, doesn’t need more…

Being invited to be interviewed doesn’t mean you’ll get the job. There were probably details that came revealed by the application for licensure that aren’t necessarily visible by a recruiter/whanever in the field. It’s not that hard to imagine, and the fact than you immediately jumped to the conclusion of something…

I sure as hell didn’t ask for this.

F*** crunch. If your infrastructure, planning, pacing, scope, and management are such failures that you can’t get the job done during normal working hours, then you suck. The world doesn’t need as many video games as it has, and the scale of development is too big for its own good. People don’t need to be sitting at…

When my mom asks why I gave up trying to be a programmer/get into video games - this.

Series S, though having less RAM and a weaker GPU, has a significantly better CPU, so it’s not bottlenecking system like it does on the One X. Also, the fast SSD will eventually be required for certain games (ideally, once devs start making use of it).

“For instance, the age of majority in America was once 21 but was gradually lowered to 18 in the mid-20th century to accommodate the need for soldiers during WWII.”

Much bigger. Doesn’t fit in my back pocket when I’m grabbing it last-second, heading to the car but also need to have other things in hand. Doesn’t fit in any pocket or sleeve in the diaper bag, or my backpack, or my hoodie pocket.

I feel bad. I won one in a contest and haven’t even been playing it. I actually considered selling it so I could upgrade the CPU on my computer, but decided that I woudn’t be able to afford a GPU & RAM upgrade that I need, so it wouldn’t be worth it.

Uh-huh.

The Switch is already “well built”. Nintendo is the only console manufacturer that isn’t selling hardware at a loss. You’re so used to Microsoft and Sony selling you more-than-enough power, at a more-than-reasonable price, you never once questioned the sustainability or detriment of the practice.

Agreed. It should just be canceled/straight up ignored, not payed by government. The CEOs and the loan providers make enough money, and the institution already received their payment. And, arguably, it was an over-inflated cost to begin with, and should have been regulated a long time ago.

Why is over the shoulder a PC exclusive feature? Is the texture quality on console that bad that they don’t want you to see it up close? Hmm..

... 30FPS is just missing every other frame compared to 60FPS.

Came here looking for this.

1. I haven’t played a CoD game since MW3, so I’m just jumping in because it’s free to play and I don’t have any games for my PS5 yet... and I’m confused and disappointed that there’s no in-game tutorial or even a free-play mode that let’s me get used to the area, weapons, controls, adjust my controls on the fly with…

It’s crazy to me that we get angry at companies for doing things that are unsustainable, but then get angry at Nintendo for being the only console maker that doesn’t lose a ton of money, up front, on every system purchase. They could make a better product, but they don’t have the versatility and capital than Sony and…

Not big on PC gaming, huh?
