Unless there's a massive bubble pop, not for 5+ years. Thanks to all the long term agreements!

I think the next Xbox is supposed to be more open, but still, yeah, just a buy a PC... when it's affordable... gulp
- Comment on PlayStation Reportedly Sending Game Developers Massive Survey With Question Asking About Physical Discs 2 days ago:
If you want to sell without discs, then you need to open your hardware up and allow storefront competition and DRM-free games.
That's why people are angry, not just because of the physical media aspect.

Why would Todd hate what made his franchise what it is?
- Comment on Xbox lays off 268 more employees, merges Obsidian into Bethesda and puts Activision in charge of Halo 4 days ago:
They need a massive engine upgrade/overhaul instead of a new IP right now.

Seen many things, him in interviews and Q&As, and have no idea what you are talking about with 4chan. Guy is full of himself.

Lmao
"Guys, I know you are making the next Elder Scrolls right now, but I have this really cool space game I want you all to work on instead! It wont be shit I promise!"

Really? Isnt it just Todd going around demanding things? Id never want to work under that narcissitic dick.

It literally doesnt matter. Halo died with Bungie and Bungie died with Halo.

They are games I would love to play for the first time again.

Portal 1 and 2 are two of the greatest games that will ever be made.
- Comment on Microsoft patent describes in-game advertising triggered by boss fights, loading screens, and cutscenes 1 week ago:
With some of the shit people put up with nowadays in games, they would probably swallow this up too, in some capacity.

Really? The last time I played it was 90% bots, was so boring.
- Comment on Experimental Build Of Nvidia’s DLSS 5 AI Slop Filter Leaks And Turns Beloved Video Game Characters Into Uncanny Valley Weirdos 3 weeks ago:
Dipping your monitor in shit is better than TAA. These upscalers have caused developers to use them as a crutch. Instead of making a performant native game with good MSAA options, they speed run the game and then slap DLSS (or the alternatives) on at the end for 60fps.
I get it's not usually their fault, with crunch times etc, but it's still a decision someone makes, that the customers could push back on. NVIDIA is spearheading it as a means to sell GPUs, locking newer DLSS versions behind new hardware and paying studios to support and advertise DLSS. I mean, at least until the AI boom, now they couldnt give a fuck about us little guys at all.

Problem is, cases dont even handle it anymore. The bumps are too big that you are gonna need a thick case.
Samsung S23-24 is a good example of an acceptable bump, a case flattens that out and isnt bulky.
- Comment on Back to the future 3 weeks ago:
Massive annoying bumps to make the rest of the phone 0.1mm thinner. No camera bumps should be the priority design, not every increasingly large ones that even cases can't obscure now.

DLSS is a plague.

Caught the addiction
- Comment on This crazy assassin character, who doesn't know what shampoo is, somehow would bother shaving her armpits 4 weeks ago:
You are forgetting that acting is a job. One the actors have the freedom to decide and negotiate their terms.
It's perfectly reasonable for a character to have armpit hair, even if that personally offends you.
The actor can decide what to do with the director or whomever. You dont need to project your own opinions onto some random actor, they have their own.
Also, it is absolutely fucking okay to expect consistency in a film/show.
- Comment on This crazy assassin character, who doesn't know what shampoo is, somehow would bother shaving her armpits 4 weeks ago:
Exactly, but even so, it's an actors job, many lose weight, gain muscle, grow hair, lose hair, all the time for the role. Such a strange thing to be angry about, let the actors decide themselves lmao. What's with the new trend of people getting offended on behalf of others?

Yes, this is official Oldschool Runescape.

So you admit there is value. Got it.
- Comment on Behold, "the whole story of Steam's economy in one picture": the top 1% of games earn 84.5% of estimated revenue, and most games barely make anything 5 weeks ago:
Dont list your game on Steam then, sell it yourself.

If you want to relive it, MadSeasonShow on YouTube has been doing a blind playthrough for the last couple years and it's pretty nostalgic to watch!

I was, as that is what people usually mean with XCOM 3. A sequel to XCOM 2.

He wasnt involved in the reboot series IIRC. Jake Solomon was the creative director.
- Comment on Cancelled Quake 4 expansion gets surprise GitHub release after former XCOM 2 developer discovers it on an old hard drive: 'This essentially saved my life' 1 month ago:
I think you are confused. I am simply saying, the developers, the individuals, who designed and created the previous games are not at the studio who owns the IP. Unless they are all rehired at Firaxis Games, the individuals cannot develop another XCOM. Do you understand now?
- Comment on Cancelled Quake 4 expansion gets surprise GitHub release after former XCOM 2 developer discovers it on an old hard drive: 'This essentially saved my life' 1 month ago:
They have made stuff for me, just getting them back together to make another XCOM is very very unlikely. Do you understand how IP ownership works?
- Comment on Cancelled Quake 4 expansion gets surprise GitHub release after former XCOM 2 developer discovers it on an old hard drive: 'This essentially saved my life' 1 month ago:
Yes, lots of layoffs and devs just moving on.
- Comment on Cancelled Quake 4 expansion gets surprise GitHub release after former XCOM 2 developer discovers it on an old hard drive: 'This essentially saved my life' 1 month ago:
Because the industry has changed a lot over the last decade and XCOM would be more likely to be dragged through the dirt than to be faithfully resurrected.
