Even if you make an excellent game that makes money you can STILL be on the chopping block. See Hi Fi Rush. 😟
- Comment on The Video-Game Industry Has a Problem: There Are Too Many Games 1 day ago:
“Of the 1,431 games released last year that garnered more than 500 reviews — an indication that they were played by at least a few thousand people — more than 260 were rated positively by 90% or more of the players. More than 800 scored 80% or better.”
Problem - You can’t trust Steam reviews. Steam users will give top ratings to “Click the Duck”.
- Comment on Kindergarten forced to back down after proposing to charge parents $2,200 for their own children’s art 3 days ago:
And the $2,200 wasn’t for each kids individual artwork, it was to produce a collective scrapbook from all the kids in the school, plus photos, etc.
$2,200 is still insane on a per-piece basis. It shouldn’t cost more than $50 a piece depending on the size of the book. I could see $2,200 being printing costs for the whole run.

From what I hear from people actually able to play the game, it’s better than 3.
Something like:
2 > 4 > 1 > 3 > Pre-Sequel

DF is who I’m waiting on, but from what I’m hearing, they didn’t send reviewer codes so it’s all delayed and that’s never a good sign.

How is it on console though? Better on PS5 or Xbox?
- Comment on Is there or has there ever been information illegal to possess or have? 1 week ago:
For a while it was illegal to export Pretty Good Privacy, or PGP from the US.
FTP servers in the US removed it for fear of legal action.
So I imported it from a University in Scotland. 😉

Picked it up on Saturday, finally! For some reason it’s been super hard to find!

My favorite is a local:
Boring, Oregon with Dull, Scotland.
Add in Bland, Australia and they go beyond sister cities to the “Trinity of Tedium”.
- Comment on Microsoft to force install the Microsoft 365 Copilot app in October 1 week ago:
“that have the Microsoft 365 desktop client apps.”
Whew! I’m in the clear then!

I don’t need to personally be an engineer to call out a train wreck when I see one…
- Comment on There's no "spyware" in Borderlands 4, Take-Two insist, following upset over terms of service 2 weeks ago:
Is it worth buying though? I felt burned by Pre-Sequel and 3 was kind of “Meh”.
Not concerned with Denuvo since I rarely buy or play games on PC, I just want to know if it’s worth playing.

It’s a dedicated monotasker, not handcuffs. Consoles have always been that way.

Chillin’
- Comment on Hands-On: Borderlands 4 wants you to forget Borderlands 3 ever happened 3 weeks ago:
On console, Denuvo isn’t an issue. :)
- Comment on Hands-On: Borderlands 4 wants you to forget Borderlands 3 ever happened 3 weeks ago:
1 and 2 were legitimately good games.
Pre-Sequel was terrible, 3 was better but still not good.
Can’t say I remember enough about the Tell Tale game to have an opinion which may also very well be an opinion. ;)
- Comment on Hands-On: Borderlands 4 wants you to forget Borderlands 3 ever happened 3 weeks ago:
Waaaaaay ahead of you Gearbox…
- Comment on Is a monocle uncomfortable to wear? 3 weeks ago:
Just googling… If you had money, no.
If you didn’t have money, yes.
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monocle
“Monocles with galleries were often the most expensive. The wealthy would have the frames custom-made to fit their eye sockets. A sub-category of the galleried monocle was the “sprung gallery”, where the gallery was replaced by an incomplete circle of flattened, ridged wire supported by three posts. The ends were pulled together, the monocle was placed in the eye orbit, and the ends were released, causing the gallery to spring out and keep the monocle in place.”
- Comment on Americans have the gun industry so far up their ass that they don't even notice their asshole is gaping. There is no other country where uneducated morons are allowed access to guns easily. 3 weeks ago:
I live in Multnomah County and the law here is that in order to carry a loaded weapon, concealed or unconcealed, you must have a concealed carry permit. Yes, there are charges for it.
Is it enforced? Oh, HELL NO. Not unless you’re engaged in doing some other crime, then they’ll tack it on as a value added crime.
- Comment on Sony is releasing a new PS5 console, but it's a downgrade 3 weeks ago:
No, the PS5 has a standard expansion slot.
- Comment on “It’s Wednesday, my dudes.” 3 weeks ago:
Oh, it’s real!
- Comment on Sony is releasing a new PS5 console, but it's a downgrade 3 weeks ago:
Yup. On the PS5, you can add standard M2 storage to increase the usable internal space.
On the Xbox you have to use the Seagate or WD plug.

Nah, I had seen it before.

IIRC, paleontologists LOVE the Thagomizer.
- Comment on Sony is releasing a new PS5 console, but it's a downgrade 3 weeks ago:
You can, but you can’t play games from it, it would be storage only. You’d have to move it to internal memory to play it.
- Comment on Sony is releasing a new PS5 console, but it's a downgrade 3 weeks ago:
Current gen games can’t be played from standard external storage. You could put the game there, but it would have to be moved to internal memory to play it.
BC games would work fine, but not current gen.
Applies to both PS5 and Xbox both.
- Comment on Sony is releasing a new PS5 console, but it's a downgrade 3 weeks ago:
825GB is the raw space, not usable space.
You lose some to formatting and file structure, you lose more to system reserved space for updates and what not.
Out of the box, a 1 TB PS5 has 848 GB available.
So if you’re starting with 825 GB that means you’re likely to only have, what? 700 GB free? Less?
Some games push 100 GB, so max of 7 of those not counting DLC and what not?

Digital only with reduced space? What’s the worst that could happen? 🤔
“Buy a bigger SSD!”
