But if they sold you a pair that lasted for decades, you wouldn’t need to buy any more.
I’ve moved onto earbuds. Earfun Air for a staggering £22. The sound genuinely isn’t bad either, I’ve no idea how you can even make them for that. Slavery, probably. Still, £22 is £22.
- Comment on Xbox as a platform is officially dead 9 minutes ago:
Because MS will throw any amount of losses at this to keep themselves in the game.
Plus making games deliberately incompatible with the GabeCube will be trivial if it comes to that.
Valve can throw a lot of resources behind what they’re doing, but it’s a drop in the ocean compared to what MS can spend. At the end of the day Valve can only really match current consumer pricing, and even with 16GB RAM and 8GB GPU, that isn’t cheap.

Yeah, if the Series S could have run my Steam library, I’d have got one years ago when it was cheap.

You think the average person will buy a more expensive box that doesn’t play COD, FIFA, etc?

He certainly liked the N word.
Although most of it was probably his schizophrenia talking. I figure somebody who made an entire OS because he though God told him to, can’t be held 100% responsible for his actions…
- Comment on Sony Pulls Back From PlayStation Games on PC 1 day ago:
Probably partly down to the price of PC parts. I haven’t upgraded mine since I got a 1060.
A machine that could run PS4 titles better can be a Steam Deck. A machine that can run PS5 titles better is like £1200.
And tbh, I doubt they’re selling many PS5 Pros either. PS5 graphics are plenty good enough. They run at 60fps which is all most people were after when going from console to a PC. People obsessing over the latest all singing, all dancing raytracing are few and far between. 5090s are likely being bought for AI use.
We just want games.

It’s genuinely one of the funniest things I’ve ever watched.
Half of it seemed to be one guys futile attempts to get into a milfy redhead’s pants.
- Comment on Ariana Grande: The Last Racebender 5 days ago:
I know that. You know that. Antonio Banderas knows that. But Americans are funny about race. They didn’t count Italians as white. They didn’t even count the Irish as white.
But a line gets drawn somewhere I guess, and without exception it gets drawn where the wealth disparities arise.

They’ll arrest the jury.
I mean, yeah, they’re not allowed to do that, but since when has that stopped this regime?

Hey guys, I know you made really good remasters of classic single-player games, but can you make us something nobody on this motherfucking Earth asked for?
Oh wait, we don’t want you do do that any more.
Why aren’t you making us any money?

Not sure why they’d think kids are the target audience for a remake of a 29 year old game.
Surely all the kids are playing the latest mobile slop pocket money sink?

UK newspapers would frequently publish photos of 16 years old girls with their tits out. That was only made illegal in 2004.
Back during Paedomania of the early 2000s, Brass Eye had an episode taking the piss out of the press’s new found moral crusade, despite them happily being in on it for the better part of 30 years. The press did not like this at all. Unfortunately they didn’t seem to realise they were at fault, which led to the memorable juxtaposition of an article about “perv spoof bosses” on the opposite side of the page from an article about how big 15 year old Charlotte Church’s boobs were getting.

It doesn’t look that bad. And then you hold it. It’s like they made a controller based around the theme of stepping on Lego.

It’s not a hate crime to block things you have no interest in.
First thing I did on here was block all the trans and gay stuff. Then the tankies and the vegans. And now all the AI shit, although that’s mostly not got a home here.

The name got bought, and somebody else reopened some. Mostly just a section within Macy’s, but there’s a handful of actual stores.
Except Canada, apparently. That’s the only original Toys R Us left.

I think the base game is really a testament to the fact that CDPR have a lot of success with open world games, but don’t really do them very well… They make really solid campaigns, and then pad them out with utter nonsense that kills the pacing stone-cold dead.
“Oh hey, here’s something really urgent. We cannot stress enough how urgent it is. By the way we’ve also just unlocked about a hundred side quests. Enjoy!”
I’m still salty that I missed one of the ending achievements because if you follow the instructions it gives you, it will cause a fail state on that particular ending.

Make sure to make a save at the appropriate point so you can do both paths.
