Nintendo is doing it and no one can afford new PC graphics cards, so let’s bleed 'em like stuck pigs.

Can’t let people know they were actually almost as powerful as the current overpriced silicon.

They have to look good to advertisers. And the megacorps of the world need to be sure their brands are not associated with anything “controversial” so they can appeal to as many Americans as possible.

Long before anyone had a PCs or servers beefy enough for internet video, we still had tiny gifs. And before that, we all just had our own websites all over the web which you could make entirely your own, for free or for cheap. And it was awesome.

Also some of the most odious DRM iirc. Not to mention their dalliance with Blockchain Bitcoin NFT whatever.

Not sure if real, but if so, course they’ll use the red scare “in god we trust” instead of “E pluribus unum”.

While i was on my way out my friend fell on me and killed us both.
I don’t think I’d ever play this game, but this is tempting me to give it a shot.

The necktie, but I think it would look better just slightly larger.

- Comment on Video Games Can’t Afford to Look This Good 3 months ago:
It’s nice to see gaming covered in NYT at all. The article generally rings hollow to me. I’m not an industry expert, but:
- It’s easy to be profitable when you’re just making a sandbox and your players make the games, but at that point are you a game developer? (Roblox)
- High end graphics cards have become so expensive that people can’t afford gaming with good graphics
- AAA developers aren’t optimizing games as well as they used to, so only high end hardware would even run them
- AAA is more focused on loot boxes, microtransactions, season passes, and cinematics all wrapped up in great visuals. That’s at the expense of innovative gameplay and interesting stories. Making the graphics worse won’t get execs to greenlight better games, just uglier ones. And they’ll still be $70.
- Even when games are huge successes and profitable, studios are getting bought and shut down (EA, Microsoft, Sony?), so it’s hard to say the corps are hurting.
- Comment on Tawny Newsome Says Live Action Star Trek Workplace Comedy Will Explore Life Outside The Federation 3 months ago:
Star Trek always had some levity. And all the other new Trek has always felt too serious - they’ve been constantly saving the Federation/humanity/Galaxy/universe. If they need to make a funny show on order to tell a funny story, then give. Go for it.
- Comment on Some Older PC games I have, just wanted to share. 3 months ago:
Some classics in there for sure. For those that haven’t played it, Oni was a favorite of mine from the era. I don’t think it got a lot of attention at the time, or even today. This was Bungie near the end of its Mac-first pre-Halo era.

You might like The Orville, too.
- Comment on ‘Lower Decks’ Series Finale “The New Next Generation” Review, Plus Mike McMahan Interview 3 months ago:
I loved Lower Decks, and I hope somehow those stories continue. Did people who are new to Star Trek enjoy it, too?
As an aside, I think that was something that made Prodigy fantastic: it was a serialized program with episodic stories that didn’t require any understanding of Star Trek beforehand. The main characters weren’t part of the Federation, so the audience got to learn alongside them.

- Comment on Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter launches in fall 2025 worldwide for PS5, Switch, and PC 3 months ago:
The original version (or is it the first remake?) it’s still on Steam and runs great. I just finished it a few months ago.
Does redoing the graphics of a relatively modern-game make it worth $60? I’m interested in understanding the perspective of folks that are planning to buy.

Without Lower Decks, it feels like there will be much less to talk about, anyway.
