It would be nice if he would specifically say, “I fucked up.” This isn’t even a case of “the buck stops at the top;” he himself appointed many of the people who were the worst cases of discrimination/harassment/etc. He DID directly manage several of those people, and I’m sure there are more that we don’t know about…

Same, it was always really easy for me, just a tiny shake worked

I’m not sure if exclusives can overcome a $100 price gap. 

No, I’m suggesting that we’re in the middle of a global recession that will likely continue for a year or more, so when the Series S can play all the same next gen games for $100 less, a lot of people will opt for it over the PS5. Even considering the reduced performance.

Oh, I know they won’t—and that’s sort of my point. I think the lack of a lower end SKU is going to slow adoption significantly. It’s already hard to justify the cost of a PS5 when thetransition to next -gen seems to be moving more slowly than in the past, and so many features are locked behind HDMI 2.1; that becomes…

Yeah I'm aware, that's why I said the PS5 digital has the same chip set as the regular one 🙂

I’m not suggesting that the digital PS5 is directly competing with the Series S; I just think that the PS5will have a hard time building its player base when its cheapest SKU is $150 more than the Xbox.

I loooooooove the fact that I can reliably escape from fights. I'm not great at shooters so I usually die really early in BR games, but the fact that I can escape makes me feel accomplished even though I still never win.

I actually don’t mind the frame rate on the switch. It’s been stable for me most of the time.

Traversal in this game is so much fun. Levitation is great (it’s functionally like a jetpack), but add in runes like teleportation and flight AND the ice trails that let you get around Iceman-style and it’s a BLAST! (Unfortunately the ice magic isn't very good otherwise, but I don't even care because it's so damn fun)

It’s a little worrisome that they didn't even swap out the button images lol. Hopefully that's not indicative of the effort they put into the rest of the collection...

Sony is fucked with that Series S pricing. There’s no way they can price the digital PS5 anywhere near that low when it’s using the same chip set as the regular one.

Normally, only the top ~12 teams get into playoffs, but this year the league decided to create a format where all teams had the potential to win, mostly because COVID shot competitive integrity to hell anyway.

YO what about physical rewards in My nintendo?!

Did anyone else feel kind of uncomfortable during Adele’s Grammy speech? Not when she said that Beyonce deserved it for Lemonade (because that was on point), but the part where she said, “the way you make my black friends feel is empowering,” etc. Like, she wasn’t wrong, but it felt... off? Maybe because it sounded…

I doubt we ever will; slideshows are a really effective way to get people to look at ads, and GO Media seems to have finally gotten the memo

Thank you for sharing this with us, Ash. It was really touching.

Oh, I totally agree, I’m just saying that companies rarely like to make potentially negative details readily visible to consumers. It’s why we don’t see expiration dates on most streaming sites; they don’t want people focusing on when things will leave, they want us to focus on the tons of content that’s still there.…

Yeah, but you run that risk with any streaming/all-you-care-to-consume platform, right? I can buy a movie if it’s going to leave Netflix, and I know if it comes back I “wasted” my money. 

4K on the Switch seems weird because, like... What Switch game is really going to benefit from 4k? And wouldn’t any extra FLOPS or hertz be better spent towards performance (IE frame rate) before resolution?
