Honestly, I think it needs to go as far as it can in order to produce any sort of change. It’s easy for most white Americans to ignore a BLM protest, or pretend covid isn’t real because they haven’t been directly effected by it, or to say “blue lives matter too!” because one of their friends from high school is a cop…

Usually I find complaining about this sort of thing dumb, but the slideshow format is incredibly terrible. Between the slideshows and the reformatting of some of the pages like Kotaku, it’s like they’re trying to get me to stop reading out of annoyance.

Production companies just want to take the name/basic concept of a game, and strip out all of the things that fans actually like about it. Then it bombs and they all wonder why.

They just need to release details about the price, the release date, and the launch line up. You know, make it feel like new systems are coming out in two months. That kind of thing.

I didn’t get a PS4 till two years ago around when God of War came out, and it was great. I payed less for the system and played like 10 incredible exclusives in a row.

Yeah, it you aren’t particularly into Warzone this news is a bit underwhelming. Just release a trailer like a normal company.

Biggest mistake they made with the sequels was making it two movies. That could’ve been an equally tight experience as one movie, even if it was like 3 hours long. There’s so many useless subplots that could’ve been completely removed. The general concept of Smith becoming a virus and Neo having to stop it with the…

Nothing takes the wind out of my sails like hearing something that sounds exciting is a game as service game. It's the new "IP you like, but MMO!" 

Also, craft matters significantly as far as the first Matrix is concerned. It’s impeccably put together, stylish, and well shot. The way the action was filmed wouldn’t be a surprise to anyone into Asian cinema, but to see it done like that in a big budget Hollywood film was astonishing at the time. And bullet time was…

Agreed, I fell off the wagon last year, tried to start playing at the newest expansion, and had absolutely no idea what to do. I think the refresh might actually get me back in to it, as unfortunate as it is to see so much content disappear.

The AppleTV 4K is the only hole in my “Apple sucks” theory. That is absolutely the best streaming experience you can get. 

I have a shitty refurbished old chromebook I paid $50 for that can do all of my productivity/internet related things just as well as anything else and I love it. I don’t know why everyone on earth doesn’t own one at this point.

People’s obsession with Apple and their products is something I’ll never understand. I guess it’s the same as people who will buy an itchy shirt with a little logo on it for $120 instead of one that’s incredibly more comfortable for $30, but doesn’t have the logo.

Eh, kinda. The contract that I signed is pretty ironclad, I chose not to get insurance for something like this, and the county mandates do not prevent us from actually having the wedding. I can see their position, it’s just a bummer that some people I’d really like to be there won’t be able to.

I just got back in to PC gaming after finally building out a decent rig, and I don’t see the big deal at all. Sure, I prefer Steam as I’m used to it, but I’ve got like 5 launchers on there now and I never think about it at all. I just open the game, it pops up for like 5 seconds, and then I’m playing the game.

We are still on schedule for our November wedding, as if we move/cancel we lose everything we’ve paid to this point at our venue, which is most of the cost. We are prepared for a lot of people to decide not to come, but a wedding with half the attendees is better than no wedding and a substantial financial loss. It’s…

It’s always gonna be Mass Effect 3. To go through all of that story, over so many years, and have such a wet fart of an ending... it’s a Game of Thrones level fuck up.

This is why the only product I’ll buy from Apple is the AppleTV, and that’s only because it’s the best device of its kind and not having in app purchases available in anything but Apple apps is a very minor inconvenience.

It’s getting a little ridiculous with the lack of pricing info. I get it, you want Sony to go first so you can undercut them by $50, but this can’t last forever. Between the lack of communication and no major launch exclusive games, it’s almost easy to forget a new console is even coming out.

The actual Xbox OS is great, and I prefer it to PS4. I like their network features, party system, etc. I think a lot of people don’t want to bother with a gaming PC so they get the Xbox instead.
