Nintendo is the last console maker with a real exclusive ecosystem. Sony seemed to have real exclusives but now is just PC's cousin. MS/XBOX is just Trans PC but everywhere: ANYTHING IS AN XBOX, they say in a wrong pitched voice.

They were asking me what other games I wanted to buy, and the only thing that I could think of, "The Duskbloods?" which isn't a launch title. There isn't much that I recognized as non-specialized Nintendo stuff, everything else is pre-order. Even something I would have thought would have been a...

My daughter and I went to a smaller Game Stop here in town and got preorders for two Switch 2s w/ Mario Cart World today. Traded in my Xbox One and PS4 Pro and got 150 bucks for them, which was awesome and got them off my workbench. Will go back tonight at 11PM to get them. Was a super easy...

All of this. Asmon made a great point talking about today; games take too long to make and these companies are too big and too insulated from gamers and the audience to be successful. Sure, there is all the DEI/ESG/internal activist influence that drives these projects into the weeds, i.e...

I just downloaded and started this tonight, played through the prologue and got to the meadow. I need way more practice at parry and dodge at least on exhibiteer or whatever the mid diff is. I also wasn't warned that the main protag was fake modeled on Robert P but voiced by Charlie C. Now I...

Probably true but someday someone will realize that ESG/DEI money won't buy your way into heaven but fat stacks of James Cameron money will buy tons of hookers and blow.

I switched to Windows 11 a few years ago, there is too much wrong from a security perspective to use Win 10 in 2025. You can get StarDock's Start11 and make Windows 11 look however you want, just like Win10 (or Win 8 or Win7 in fact) without needing to hack the Registry, which isn't any fun any...

I had almost a 1000 hours in EU4 in the base game, then in first few expansions but then they hit on the Paradox version of Live Service where they kept adding and changing the game mechanics constantly with the expansions, and I got sick of having to learn the game constantly from what it felt...

Edit: TWO swoops:

When they say what killed the Xbox hardware platform, of which I have owned every generation, there can be be only one answer: Stupidity. It seems like every institution in our society is rife with it. Forget trying to build back market share, or earn back goodwill, or even just not be seen as...

Right, I get that. My Name is Byf is a lore guy after all and went on at some length about some of the backstory for this game that I had no idea existed; that any such complex story existed, that they were going to try to imbue it with any kind of complicated/deep/intense lore is...

Listening to My Name is Byf talk about the lore of the game in that livestream, I'm not more likely to play it because PVPVE Extraction shooters aren't my thing but there is a ton more to Marathon than I had suspected. THAT's the Bungie I know and love, so maybe there is some non-gay hope for...

Do we really need catharsis for smaller scale things that happened 100ish years ago? Hitler was one of the largest historical figures in WW2, which was one of the largest events in human history; did anyone really think of "Inglorious Bastards" as needed cartharsis? It's really just revenge...

550 106th Ave NE, Bellevue, WA 98004 to be precise, in between downtown Seattle and Redmond, but you aren't wrong. I imagine it's probably worse ideologically than SoCal with PNW vibe going on. Fake Edit: 550 106th Ave NE · 550 106th Ave NE, Bellevue, WA 98004, USA

I had this issue for a while as well. I thought it was related to getting my new PC set up but I just kept restarting as I installed things and eventually GamePass Ultimate synced up.

What the fuck does this have to do with where Bungie is? Trying to read this frothy BS, Is this a drunk post? The rest of your posts seem reasonably put together. You had the one seemingly negative reaction to Bald Brah's post. It has nothing to do with where Bungie is, moron; it had...

Really? An odd reaction for one agreeing with the sentiment but if you say so.

This was kind of a let down for me back in the day after Morrowind; it just didn't hit the same way. I wouldn't buy it with all the Bethesda BS going on but I will download it from GamePass, so well done MS spending billions there. Edit: After 15 min I am already annoyed enough that Patrick...

Myth: The Fallen Lords was the some of the best world building and gameplay. Peak Bungie was soooo good. Homeworld was literally jawdropping at the time; I called my grandparents (who lived right next door at the time) over to look at it when I was in the beta. The box reminded me that the...

Will always remind of the segment from "Heavy Metal" called "B-17" where the Orb invades a B-17 on the way back from a particularly hairy bombing run.

I was just thinking of this "brain in a tank" quote the other day when we were talking about the Matrix, how Sid's game had come up with years before The Matrix put it out there. What a great game. I need to download this from GOG and play it.

It might not be a better game but I enjoy playing it a lot more than POE2. The engine/combat sync and responsiveness feels way better 1.2 than it did at launch. Going to start out doing a hammer/javalin Pally again without doing too much research and see where that takes me. Way easier to...

So I have been mixed on Ryan Coogler as a director; sometimes he seems to have an agenda, other times he seems to be more down the line. Regardless of where he stands ideologically or you might stand on him, here he is talking about various film aspect ratios and the decision and factors that...

My 7900XTX is almost always quiet-ish. If this PowerColor 9070 XT isn't as quiet, then into my kids PC it will go. I dropped a fair amount on the RX Max fans because they were supposed to be 10 Db more quiet than the LX/QX/RX fans.

A-Salright, anywhere right off the Beltway isn't a Sundown location for whites. B- isn't bad, I used to live near here 30ish years ago; It was nice and new suburbs then, perhaps it has changed but not get out town whitey. It was mostly latino, though, even back in the day. C- Magnolia Gardens...

How could it be anything but thus? When I see the aesthetic, I can't help but see this:

Holy Shit are the comments all center-mass kill shots. Watching that video rather than the cinematic garbage I hate it less but rather than wanting to play the game (I don't and never will, PVP extraction shooters are not my bag, I never went into the Dark Zones or whatever in The Division or...

a 5080 for $999 is not terrible. A 5080 for the same price as a 4090 is a damn monopolist ripoff, and I look forward to their glorious downfall.

You can change scaling, etc in Windows to accomodate; I think I run 125% now (It's System|Display|Scaling), with a large mouse pointer now as my eyes have aged as well. I have been using TVs as monitors since 2007-8? I got a South Korean 38" 4K TV to use as a monitor; technically the only...

https://www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/samsung/qn90d-qn90dd-qled Its a little pricey for the 43" version but I work and game on mine; not like art work but sit on Teams calls for hours and do PPT/XLS/DOC files and outlook. I wouldn't want to subject an OLED to that. Otherwise, whatever 43/48" LG...

Divine Bolt Paladin was my favorite class I have played in any ARPG. Hammer Paladin is pretty spiffy as well and I won't mind going back to that. I didn't even mind the Forge Guard dropping Anvils on people like a Looney Tunes cartoon. I haven't played many other classes, obviously but I am...

"Return to form" as a tiny company that only made art games for a niche platform? Magic 8-ball says "Probably!"

What in Post-Apocalyptic early 90s French avant garde fuck was that? It's like Aeon Flux by Luc Besson, starring Jean Reno and Milla Jovovich. I mean, they had two World Wars, millions of deaths in the trenches and being occupied by the actual Nazis to come up that level of existential...

I got a PowerColor Red Devil 9070 XT from MicroCenter, and having them put it into a Corsair 3500x with a 9800X3D, 64GB DDR CL30 6000, 2TB PCIe 5.0 NVME Samsung 9100 for an OS drive and a second 4TB 990 Pro for games, et al, Asus X870E, and RGB ICue Extraordinaire, with RX Max fans because I...

Fall Guy made $175m globally on a budget of $125m-$150m before advertising, which generally roughly equals at least 50% of marketing, so its pretty easy to say The Fall Guy flopped hard. Was it a bad movie? I heard it was pretty good but still.

I am not on the frontlines but the CyberDefense war is real, yo. Nobody wants to be Maersk, Colonial Pipeline or fall victim to a Solar Winds™ style extended attack.

You're not wrong; in a perfect world, everyone should follow textbook ITIL design. I used to be a Datacenter Mgr at a mid-sized company, and we had perfect ITIL test/dev/stage environments for every app or suite; Change Management was rigorously followed, and things were done by the book unless...

I work for a Fortune 10 company that is constantly the target of radical ideologues, state actors and cyber criminals. Normally you would have a test/dev/stage level of deployment for most things, and even for most anti-malware stuff, there is some level of testing. CrowdStrike is different...

Holy Fuck. I just read the summary for this film. What the absolute fuck. I was not expecting that. I mean, it's not world breaking but I am unsettled.

We just got power back after Beryl. All I can say is FUCK CENTERPOINT Energy. As soon as we got a crew to show up, they had us back on in a few hours. Sad it took a fucking week to get a crew here. And I don't live in the sticks, I live in the city. I am the last person on my corp team to...
