You get me

This reminds me of that Simon and Schuster 90s CDROM TNG technical manual. I was lost in that for weeks.

It’s a sin to not use the Wilhelm scream if someone is plunging to their death. We should make stuff that uses it in real life, like car or plane crashes a speaker should pay the scream really loud so everyone knows. Or it should be a requirement for guns to play the sound after every time you fired.

I think E3 fading out of existence has made games journalism that much more important for me. I’ve never responded well to any publisher telling me what to buy. I am less likely to buy a game of I see an ad in fact. They are kinda insulting. E3 wasn’t about seeing developerdevelopenpublishers offer me their products.…

Oof, if someone gets defensive with a ‘think you are better than me’ argument, they already made the decision that indeed you are better than them and force it to be your problem to come back down to their level. They can’t handle managing their own insecurity.

Before cars it was the only type of city.

Manhattan is a pretty extreme density. Agreed smaller towns may not be dense enough for this to be useful, but that is likely any town < 50k people and several miles across, not a town that fits that same number of people in a single square mile. Agreed also that not every town meets the commercial needs of it’s…

Sony’s console ports have always been solid. I assumed its because they were so well toptimized in the first place. Most of them even run well on the Steam Deck without much sacrifice in fidelity other than running at 30fps.

Amputee in space sounds ideal. You don't need legs, less weight, saves space.

I miss the days when developers included easter eggs or progression based bonuses of in-development footage. It also worked better when games were more linear: Beat a level? Nice! Now you can go back to the extras option in the main menu and see how we made it!

I’m starting to think this is a problem with Kotaku, and maybe some company installed software, and not the game. This stuttering and performance issues sounds really similar to their PC assessment of Elden Ring performance, but I was like ‘what are you talking about’ as I had none of it. Now the exact same thing with…

I didn’t notice how small these ‘worlds’ were until after I beat the game and ran around to find the last 5 or six memories I missed. The care put into the living space of every essential character warranted several minutes of exploring, but when that didn't matter just to 100% it is a rather small space. I felt a lot…

Technically currency is a made up thing, just a number to give real things an assigned value; just a number in a database that we somehow trust a bunch of strangers in tall buildings to not mess that number up. We don't need another fake thing to pretend has value.

Aren’t Audis VWs? It seems weird that the VW brand would try to be high end and compete against itself. One thing I blame this on is EV adoption, and that it seems adoption only applies to luxury vehicles. Which is the most rediculous thing the auto market has been doing to turn EV. Make a beater EV that is easy to…

This is what VR needs more of: interactive adventure games. I’m glad VR has managed to stick around, but we are still missing that ‘killer’ app, unfortunately too many are apps killing things by flailing your arms frantically. Some VR games are adventure or mystery like Moss or Red Matter, but there is not enough of…

Torrent has certainly caused some of the most dizzying gameplay I’ve experienced outside VR. The right-hand only attack means all attacks require spinning around the enemy in a clockwise circle.

People say they are afraid to react to other drivers just in case they are shot at. I'm not worried about that. I don't need a gun. I'm already controlling a 3,000 lbs bullet that is a lot harder to miss with.

I get the feeling this dork was looking forward for a reason to do this for a while. To bad for him a tossed water bottle isn't a good enough reason.

It’s cheaper to recycle litium from batteries than to mine it. So hopefully we somehow figure out how to make businesses to retrieve people’s old batteries. The problem I see, if it’s not a large battery, there’s not much financial incentive for an everyday consumer to recycle small batteries like from phones and…

I shudder to think all that perfectly good, already-mined, not coming from China lithium all going into a landfill.
