- Comment on Nexus Mods' new owners promise they won't monetise the site to death as users panic at the whiff of venture capital 3 hours ago:
Modding community will never allow it, when Nexus allowed people to keep downloading old mods a bunch of authors decried it since they wanted the ability to remove a mod from the internet forever. It was ‘theirs’ (even though it’s just modified Bethesda data)

My first takeaway opening the box was WTF is going on with the speaker grille/fan intake?
Every phone/tablet has dust/waterproofing mesh, it’s standard. Everyone puts in on the inside layer of the device with the meatier grille outside it, so the mesh doesn’t get scuffed up or cut.
Nintendo had to think different and put the mesh on the outside. Good luck to the handheld players, luckily mine will live in a dock for eternity.

Is glass exploding even that much of a problem?
Dropping an iPad doesn’t even break the screen all the time and when it does it’s garbled.

Fear is a hell of a drug.
First gen switches were broken through the connector for the joycons. Now it’s wrapped in 3 layers of plastic when live.

- Comment on What's going on with Borderlands 2? Steam is giving it for free, but the game has 23% positive recent reviews. 1 week ago:
everything Gearbox is and has ever created it utter shit
OpFor was good, Blue Shift was alright too.
Everything since they stole the whole idea of Borderlands has been bad though.

Meanwhile in reality, Xbox as a console ain’t doing so great.
Your average non-gamer

Not just because some people don’t have it either, but for anything with RTX2000/3000 and RDNA2, Forced RT is just forced low framerate.
I hope making everyone dynamically draw the lights and shadows in realtime for a linear game was worth the 15c it saved on Microsoft’s electricity bill for not pre-baking overnight.
