    The Boys

    Show is great, but somehow Karl Urban comes across to me like a caricature of the season 1 Butcher. Maybe because he's not as much of a focus as last season in these initial episodes.

    Yeah, I watched Penta and some of the other GTA RPers playing it, it was awesome.

    NVidia GeForce RTX 30x0 cards

    The Vegas Frys is where I got my 1080ti FE, I have no confidence I'll be able to repeat that experience. Place is trash now that they've gone to a consignment model (or at least that was the last excuse I was given for not having any inventory). The bulk of their email offers are now PPE...

    Whenever he talks to chat I feel like Mean Gene Okerlund should be next to him with a microphone.

    Playstation 5

    Oh for sure, I'd concede that, but it doesn't invalidate the point. Earnings over time have shown the explosion of digital adoption over the last generation and it's accelerating IMO. https://www.videogameschronicle.com/news/ea-sony-and-take-two-now-sell-more-console-games-digitally-than-boxed/

    Yeah, a lot of toys here so far.

    Marvel's Avengers

    A lot of streamers got early access, otherwise many console gamers suddenly moved to New Zealand earlier. Agarth covered the rest.

    A number of the big studios are over 50% digital sales now iirc, many people simply don't need the drive, and of course Sony has their own incentives to push it...

    Marvel's Avengers

    l'm here for the 'loot driven number game', not a negative for me. If it stops being fun, I stop playing, and I don't buy any battle passes for new characters. Simple as that. IP goes a long way, I just played Fortnite this week competitively for the first time because of the crazy Marvel...

    Marvel's Avengers

    Hawkeye will be free, you'd be paying to unlock extra cosmetics. You'd play him and know he'd suck and not spend your 1000.

    New World

    Yeah, a lot of my issues with Windows 10 are self inflicted - for example I can't play in this preview because I'm opted into Insider builds.

    Marvel's Avengers

    It's strange how confined or claustrophobic the game feels, even during the A-Day opener.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    New area sure is nice looking. The systems overload is immediate once you get to your covenant area, we'll see how they smooth out those treadmills as it gets closer to launch.

    Steam Deals and Digital Sales

    Probably. Their subscription service is coming to other platforms, or at least to Stadia.

    Steam Deals and Digital Sales

    Nah, Origin isn't going anywhere. Their premium subscription still exists there and the DRM for their titles on Steam is Origin, requiring the client to be installed.

    MS Flight Simulator 2020

    I like binge on his youtube channel from time to time. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCEodFwnfPXdkzVPJZmuzAIg My favorite aviation channel is 74Gear, but it's more about that than games. 74 Gear

    MS Flight Simulator 2020

    Wish I could get it working, may have an issue w/ my Insider build or something preventing it. Getting a 'toon soon' without editing region, and when I do edit it I get a syntax error related to a path on the C drive no matter what drive I install it too. Oh well, will tinker more later.

    Factorio

    This does neither of those things but is my favorite mod. https://mods.factorio.com/mods/MagmaMcFry/Factorissimo2 Lets you build factories that have input/outputs externally with a relatively small footprint, then you go inside and build them out.

    MS Flight Simulator 2020

    These guys go into performance a bit, I expect there will be a lot more analysis to help people not on top of the line hardware enjoy it. https://www.game-debate.com/news/29392/microsoft-flight-simulator-pc-performance-report-graphics-card-benchmarks

    Factorio

    Really depends. Factorio is now a complete game, Satisfactory is still under active development and is fairly open ended. Factorio is a bit more complex and better replayability (IMO) as the maps are generated and there are some scenarios Satisfactory maps are hand crafted, but it comes...

    Not sure, IMDB only has him credited on the movie in the Thanks section. Maybe some uncredited art/producer work?

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    That's the console + a game, so $540 would be much more likely, with a $59.99 game. Could even see it being some $99.99 version of Halo, and a $500 console. Either way, $599 wouldn't be a surprise. Who knows, the One X is $499 and the last Taco Bell promotion included that, 6 months of...

    Marvel's Avengers

    I'm enjoying it, but it's crashed a couple times on me in not great spots. After the frustrating Spider-Man news I was going to pass on it at least at launch, but will probably pick it up now.

    Sea of Thieves (PC / Xbone)

    I mean, you can tell if the ship you're rolling up on is a bunch of experienced pirates... I don't play it much (I spend the whole time scanning the horizon for masts and pissing myself when PVP is imminent) but the time I have with friends it's been really fun. From fishing for a bit (as it...

    Epic Games Storefront - A Good Incentive for Piracy

    Yeah, it's a bit bigger of an issue than 'to use our store, you have to agree to the terms'. It's closer to the Internet Explorer antitrust suit from the late 90s.

    Epic Games Storefront - A Good Incentive for Piracy

    Google followed suit, removed them. Litigation filed against them by Epic also. https://www.xda-developers.com/fortnite-circumvents-google-play-fees-direct-payment-option/?utm_content=bufferd15b7&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_campaign=buffer

    That would be a better comparison if EGS was the only way to install anything on you PC. Meanwhile, in Fortnite:
