I have basically zero impulse control, so I’m pretty sure that if the reviews aren’t absolutely horrible I’ll be getting one near/at launch, whether I actually want one or not 😑

God, this song is so good

oh I totally agree, I don’t judge other people for saying it the other way, but I loooooooove saying “a shambles” for some reason haha

It varies from person to person. Like, I have different button mappings and sensitivities for many of my mains in Overwatch, and after a brief adjustment period the first few times I used the new mappings, it’s only been helpful.

This is a much less common one, but certain pedants out there will insist upon “X is a shambles” rather than “X is in shambles.”

Thanks!!

okay grandpa

My brother just got a Series 3 for $170. He mostly uses it to track his runs and see notifications and whatnot. Yall think it’s worth the extra $100 for the increased speed and sensors?

A) Saving up for a large console purchase is a very different proposition from an ongoing $10 price increase for many games

Forget deeply discounted, most of them have been offered free on PS Plus!

This is kind of weird because almost all of these games have been on PS Plus. And most early adopters have probably been in the PS ecosystem for a while. Which means they likely won’t get much value from this.

I’m not sure if the Series X is a better value. It has a higher max power threshold, certainly, but I wonder how useful that'll be in practice.

Unfortunately, some of those games will be $70 😱

It’s funny, because this kind of WAS what PS Plus was originally: an “instant game collection,” where you didn’t have to claim games every month, you just had access to all of them automatically (even if you weren't signed up when they were added).

This is a really half hearted attempt at combating Game Pass lol. 

Yeah, developers would almost certainly be able to charge less (or at least produce a better product) if the cut wasn’t there.

I mean

Google already charges 30% from anything on the Play Store, and MS charges between 5-30% depending on various factors. Google is also being investigated for that cut, among other things.

Apple isn’t purely a competitor, though. It’s also the platform owner and manager, and that makes a big difference.
