  Let’s not forget they’ve been emulating amazons efforts to drive prices up across the market

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Bro they make an entirely different model in Europe so the batteries can be less replaceable everywhere else. Nintendo has supported region locking for ages and it can be done on a software level without a new SKU. I don’t see any reason they’d be doing away with it.

  Yooooo! Anything worth reccing? That’s deeply nostalgic, and a friend has been starting dev on one, so it might be worth seeing how they’ve progressed in the decades since MUDs were commonplace

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon invents a time machine⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean, there’d also be no Israel. The creation of Mandatory Palestine, which would go on to be Israel, was just the British answer to the “Jewish question” after WW1, if you can just convince the Brits to be chill you can prevent a lot of atrocities

  Totally forgot about this. Great call out

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Palworld v1.0 - Official Release Changelog⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They have been so far, both in terms of fan goodwill and generally good business practices. Haven’t exploded their budget on a hiring spree as if the success will keep paying out forever, have supported the game well and taken in player criticism, especially for this 1.0 release, fought Nintendo’s patent troll strategy in court (and it looks like it’ll pay off), and expanded into a spinoff while continuing to work on the original. Haven’t seen any greed on display, either

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Palworld v1.0 - Official Release Changelog⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I wouldn’t call palworld similar to Pokemon or monster hunter in gameplay. It’s most similar to Ark Survival Evolved or other survival sandboxes

  Damn.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Xbox testing disc-to-digital feature to digitize game collections⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Sometimes we get “our competitor has made a very publicly ridiculed mistake, and now is our chance to gain favor with our audience by doing the opposite” and others it’s “our competitor has made a very publicly ridiculed mistake, but we really wanted to do that so now’s the chance while they’re taking all the heat for doing it first”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PlayStation’s Physical Media-Free Future Isn’t Just Concerning, It’s Offensive⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah this guy is right. You don’t need games. We should shut down this whole community. In fact, destroy all aspects of society that have ever had the slimmest negatives that aren’t vital to daily survival

  Microsoft would have to buy hasbro in it’s entirety because wotc is the only piece worth anything, they’d never drop it. Other than that, disgustingly plausible. Could imagine microsoft buying hasbro just for wotc and shutting everything else down

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Now throw it at someone’s head

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Kingdom Hearts IV - Reveal Trailer⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I can’t wait to see realistic everyone next to donald and goofy. Abandoning the art style for “vaguely realistic” is such a bonkers take in general, but especially for kingdom hearts. Maybe Disney pushed to have love action movies represented in 4???

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fable - 30 Minute Gameplay Demo | Build An Extraordinary Life⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Loathe this and it’s not totally unusual. Kingdom Hearts of all things is transitioning to realistic aesthetic away from it’s original art style and I am SO CONFUSED. Donald and Goofy will look so out of place alongside realistic Sora. Either way, I’ll take a real, deliberately chosen art style over “realistic” for anything any day of the week

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft admits Game Pass price hike drove away "millions" of subscribers⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean, also around that time they doubled down on supporting Israel’s genocide and, here in the US, mass surveilance by ICE. I know that’s equally if not more important for me personally

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"We're determined to win justice for the 31 fired workers" - Rockstar Games workers publicly launch union, as legal battle with the GTA 6 maker rages on⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Feels like the last chance. If they don’t push before gta6 comes out rockstar will have a MASSIVE cash reservoir to sit on and no worries about their biggest project being delayed, etc

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A Baldur's Gate 2 remake is apparently in development, with the original co-lead designer returning⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  And even lower level caps under 5.5e, and even lower lower caps with the subscribers only content on dndbeyond

  Looking this up, looks like there is a clip through a wall you can do to escape the soft lock, but this was back around release, so idk if it would have been found yet

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Day 683 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I liked TP well enough, but it’ll always be polluted by a game ending bug I encountered. After teleporting something large into a cave to enable you to enter a dungeon, but before activating it, if you save in that cave, you’ll be trapped in that cave with an NPC preventing you from leaving, forever. This is towards the end of the game iirc. I eventually started over, but, that really killed the vibe

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Watch: Zuckerberg’s superyacht arrives in Seattle just as Meta cuts 1,400 local jobs (video in body)⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t strictly disagree, but it’s harder for Americans to properly protest when they may be killed or jailed for a peaceful protest vs, say, France, where farmers literally coated government buildings with shit and their non-militarized police just went “well of course, that’s their right!” Meanwhile, when German press went to the US to cover the George Floyd protests, police shot at them, even though they were well identified, cooperative members of the press.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Valve raises Steam Deck prices by more than $200⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Off topic, but you seem likely to have opinions: If I was looking for a device to read in/before bed (ideally not a backlit screen) that would be used for more than just text (comics, tabletop rpg pdf content that would contain tables and illustrations, etc), are there any obvious choices, or things to look for? I’m comfortable jailbreaking, or even performing minor hard mods, but I haven’t really shopped for an ereader before so I frankly have no idea what to look for

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Call of controversy? Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 imagines a revived Korean war⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Wat. SURELY the copyright for Sherlock Holmes expired ages ago. Wasn’t that part of the reason we got a bunch of movies and shows about Holmes a handful of years back?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New Halo Campaign Evolved Report Claims Heavy Outsourcing and Major Gameplay Changes⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Except, let’s not forget, the original source code is lost and this would be, at best, based on an already flawed and inferior pc port

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is married⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Okay this is a take I can understand and respect. That being said, how can we observe unhinged posts, acknowledge them as such, and have a laugh about them, while making it clear that they are unacceptable? This feels a difficult tightrope to walk, given the context

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is married⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  If you don’t want baffling, fucked up takes, then you don’t want green texts, go to a microblogging community. I feel like the entire point of being here is to see the insanity without engaging with or or condoning it.

  Am I so out of touch?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon struggles with OLED⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  On most newer OLEDs, yes. Anon could be using a 20 year old monitor for all we know

  It’s hard to win an argument with a smart person. It’s damn near impossible to win an argument with an idiot.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pragmata was so top secret, the man behind Hugh was too scared to talk about the moon⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There was space to unpack the bad there. The gameplay was some of the most generic imaginable, coming as a sequel to one of the most original games of it’s generation, the plot was a mess, the characters are poorly written (spend the whole game hyping up two of them seeing each other for the first time since the original, then when it happens, there’s barely a conversation? What a strange choice), there wasn’t much to like.

  Like, it wasn’t merely “I loved the original and this didn’t meet those expectations” it was “this is not a good game”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This reminds me of that Russian woman who subdued and bound a burgular to a chair, after which she fed him only dick pills and kept him as a sex toy for a week.

  I should risk breaking into Russian homes, I think
