You think the fear of piracy was keeping the pc gaming market down? Not the market share? Not the variance in the platform hardware? Interesting.

you don’t “calibrate” the sensor bar, you just make sure there are no other light sources around you TV like lamps and stuff. there are infrared LEDs in the sensor bar and an IR camera in the controller, the sensor bar makes a small box and the camera in the controller determines where you’re pointing within that…

I legit pour a bowl of cereal and watch the new directs like I was still 13 years old me. The excitement and nostalgia I get watching them is unmatched by any other gaming company.

How to know you’re an Old: You still considered Nintendo Directs “a new thing” until seeing this headline...

It’s mostly due to poor pandemic management planning at the highest levels of governments and at least a few cases where megalomaniacs were willing to sacrifice their citizens to the cheers of MAGA.

Sony and MS have been getting their acts together with their recent Video Showcases but for the longest time this was accurate.

Libertarianism - the wonderfully consistent ideology of “states rights”, opposition to age of consent laws, the constant flirting with Objectivism and punishing the disabled, and all of their success stories of local small government where ideologically Libertarianism is supposed to work perfectly like…

We have here the crossing of 3 things
