You digging it? I bought the Ioniq 5 Platinum for my wife and she's head over heels for it.

I’m surprised they didn’t have a Kia EV6 or Hyundai Ioniq 5/6. Those are the non-Tesla EVs I see a lot of. I’ve seen maybe one Rivian in the wild, and the only people I’ve heard of buying an Ocean are YouTubers making videos about how terrible it is.

This is adding a new dimension to Jason David Frank not getting along with Austin.

Honestly, they had me at Shigenori Soejima.

Seems odd that they’re citing TotK specifically as evidence that they’ve been hurt by piracy on Yuzu, when last I checked it was the 2nd best-selling game in the franchise, the 8th or 9th best-selling game of all time on the Switch, and their best-selling 2023 release by a huge margin (like, TotK outsold the rest of…

The topic of a successor to the Nintendo Switch—which remains unnamed but I like to imagine will be called the Switcheroo

A mildly immersion-breaking visual indicator that tells me where I can and can’t climb is better than a very immersion-breaking bouncing off a few unclimbable walls while I search for the right spot that I can climb before wondering what made that particular wall so special or contemplating the protagonist’s pickiness…

Speaking as someone who bought a Dreamcast in college just for Soul Calibur and Sonic Adventure, Heroes wasn’t underrated.  It’s as exactly as mediocre as it’s average Metacritic score would lead you to believe.  I think the only thing it really has going for it today is that so many worse Sonic games have come out…

I mean, I liked Starfield in a vacuum, but it definitely didn’t live up to the hype, and it definitely wasn’t your typical Bethesda game where you put in 100 hours without touching the main quest. In another year maybe they manage expectations and turn it around, but in a year with as many truly great games as 2023…

I see. Yeah, I don't watch the Game Awards, I just read later to see who won what and if anything cool was announced. Hence why I picked up Ghostwire but remained completely unaware of Nakamura.

Beloved? Is this one of those internet things that I missed out on because I’m getting too old? I mean, I loved Ghostwire: Tokyo and still have never heard of her before now.  Well, I hope she lands a publisher, because if Kemuri is anywhere near as good as Ghostwire I’m definitely going to want to play it.

So I really liked Starfield, and I suspect a lot of the negativity around it has to do with expectations, which Bethesda not only failed to manage but actively encouraged the hype.

Assume I have current-gen consoles in my entertainment center (which I currently do). Can I play the game in question on those consoles? If yes, then I probably don’t need a remaster. Right now, that means if it was released on PS4 or Xbox One I don’t really need a remaster. But if I have to dig an older console out…

If you’re streaming on your phone and you get a message you can still check it. No one’s misunderstanding anything, what’s baffling is that Sony built a device for fringe use cases that other devices are already capable of but some people feel a strong need to justify it as the superior option for those fringe use…

Why would I mention the price of things I already own anyway? By that logic the Portal isn't $200, it's $700 because you have to count the cost of the PS5, and at that point you should just buy a Steam Deck.

I think you're just getting willfully obtuse at this point. I'm saying a Backbone is half the price of Portal, and if you stick it on the phone you already have you have the same functionality as the Portal, plus you're not limited to wifi, not limited to games installed on your PS5, and not limited to proprietary…

If you don’t already have a phone you’re part of a very small minority. My kid's in 3rd grade and she has one.

I hope you're right, as the Portal seems like a collosal waste of money. I mean, for half the price you could buy a Backbone controller for your phone and get the same functionality, plus cloud streaming, usually over cellular data, and Bluetooth so you don't have to buy special proprietary earbuds. But if there's one…

Nickelodeon has owned TMNT since 2009.  Eastman sold his share of the franchise to Laird first, then Laird sold it to Viacom (then Nickelodeon’s parent company, now part of the Paramount Group).

It made the MJ missions a lot more bearable than the ones in the first game, but in a game called “Spider-Man” with not one but two different Spider-Mans to pick from I resented every time I had to play as MJ.
