I miss when I used to get to read about video games on Kotaku.

Were they? The Xbox 360 was also (somewhat) backwards compatible?

This is super ironic to me. Let me tell ya, I’ve been served, time and time again, the eternal argument AGAINST backward compatibility by Sony fanboys saying that they much prefer Sony invest its money in making new games instead, and that BC was for Xbox losers, that anyone who wants to play old game should just keep

. There is no reason why the banks who nearly caused a second Great Depression should get .75% interest and students are getting 6% and up. There should be predatory practices.

Can we be real for a minute?

In 2021 Sony has cash reserves of 44 billion. They by no means had the buying power for this acquisition. With Sony’s market cap of 156 billion even an all stock merger would use such a large percentage of their stock that it would be an extremely bad idea.

NO BUT THIS TIME IF WE REAAAAAAAALY SHUT DOWN.

That’s the key. These people will never learn because they don’t want to learn. This has become a game of who’s the biggest virtuous douchebag, who’s willing to sacrifice the most to stop covid. It’s a dick measuring contest of righteousness and martyrdom and nothing more.

I’m sort of hinting at the edges of a cynical point here.

You could have played it on your phone’s browser you giant ass.

Isn’t Deathloop also expected to arrive this year for Xbox?

This is about is Toyota, the car manufacturer, figuring out a way to make money from used car sales.

Of course, the other thing that this program will do is just increase the cost of used cars. 

Almost flipped my shit about Persona 4 being so low...until I figured out you were counting all of the re-releases.

Still too god damn low if you ask me.  Persona 4 is peak Persona.

The episodes were full screen, with her in the corner. She is an absolute idiot.

Out here in the sticks, it’s still bad. In the past 18 months it’s killed 1 out of every 250 people—in the entire population in my county. That’s 15-20 times more deadly than the flu. There’s still 1 or 2 dying every week, but now it’s mostly people under 60 instead of older folks. Yesterday the positivity rate here

I mean, this is just running an A/B test on pricing and it is standard for the industry. Folks can do what they want with that information, of course.

Uh, I feel like there is a bit of revisionism here... Bob Ross was a pretty serious businessman in his lifetime and spent considerable effort creating and promoting a brand.

This is the exact point. Blockchain is designed to operate in a zero-trust environment. Most of our existing systems DO NOT COPE WELL with errors, and have few (if any) defenses against intentional bad actors. Blockchain is built to assume everyone will try to screw everyone in every way possible on every

If you just reskinned Watch Dogs: Legion’s gameplay, you’d get a pretty good Matrix game, actually.

Oh, you had a choice between the two? I simply bought the first one I could find.

but you do understand the 32% is just for those dollars over the line, right?
