Humans are animals that have evolved for centuries to use tactile objects and muscle memory to operate machines, an example of a person being weird would be Steve Jobs with his koumpounophobia. But touchscreens are mostly about corporations having less moving parts that they might have to repair under warranty.

Cool that’s reason enough for me to watch it, getting my spite ticket money ready

The visual language of sports is, for better and worse, much more unified than in an average film, and the best 1:1 comparison is a scene in a war or action movie where two armies which are each distinct visually clash and any definite result takes a while to play out, where the camera is more often than not showing…

Given that times have been tough and groceries are so expensive, I’m honestly kinda glad I’ve never really been tempted by this thing. Doing just fine as a Switch/PC gamer

To me the “smoking gun” is that Siri and Shazam and other instances of sending audio through the internet are basically laggy and sluggish as hell and you can’t really do anything while you’re using them, so I don’t see how it would run constantly in the background without the phone grinding to a halt. Plus they don’t…

Texting plans were cell service providers charging people $10/month for the privilege of receiving a few bytes of data through SMS rather than through the web. Thank you for providing a perfect example of why we do not want to have to depend on their data plans to deliver us all of our games. 

Streaming could never be mainstream with the internet we have today, and I don’t see ISPs getting motivated to beef it up all that much in the next 10 years either. 

Switch Ni

It’s easy to assume that Nintendo will take another big swing with their next console since we’ve seen it done, but also it’s important to remember that the Switch represented a merging of their console and handheld lines, and they’ve had much more consistent success with handhelds, so I’m betting that they treat…

I’ve personally always used my PC hooked up to my TV with a controller so I don’t know if that would even apply to me, but at the same time, nah when I’ve used a computer for work I never felt like my home computer time ever reminded me of work and I don’t recall anyone ever saying anything like that to me, maybe I’ve…

It seems like the only walking in the video is really unnaturally slow and I’d be concerned about a malfunction, if someone walking at a regular pace suddenly has the floor shift directions or stop or something then it would be pretty ugly, especially if someone else was right in front of them.

This isn’t so much of an issue on PC because of competing stores, piracy, and key resellers, but man some of Nintendo’s first party games on Switch have never gone below $40 digitally and rarely even go that low, I have so many Switch games physically not because I’m worried about preservation but because physical…

I maintain that the kinect was the worst motion control device because human brains need feedback and controlling a game by waving your arms will never work because it’s too frictionless (for example look at how much the Dualsense is built on the exact opposite principle, tons of tactile feedback) but if they’d just…

I will, you deserve one at that price

I’m sorry but $350 is what it absolutely should cost regular price at this point, you are buying a console that will be current gen for 4-5 more years tops and a more powerful version will come before that.

It was always fun, but also at this point most people paying any attention at all know that undercooked trailers and games released too early are a major problem for a lot of games, and removing something that served as a kind of “deadline” will hopefully help studios to not get backed into a corner as much.

Hardware acceleration is known to cause issues with AMD graphics card drivers, I was having crashes with my Rx6750 and turning it off in Chrome solved the problem. 

Trombone Champ? That came out last year.

It looks great, I really hope that there isn’t a fully integrated tiktok system in the game because I play video games to get away from that shit (because I am addicted to it)
