- Comment on Xbox lays off 268 more employees, merges Obsidian into Bethesda and puts Activision in charge of Halo 1 hour ago:
Yeah, I mean I’m waitlisted on both the machine and the frame. I love valve’s hardware and ecosystem. It’s not perfect of course, but it’s infinitely better than what Xbox or playstation has going on
- Comment on Xbox lays off 268 more employees, merges Obsidian into Bethesda and puts Activision in charge of Halo 4 hours ago:
Honestly, Nintendo is in such a good position to pick up serious market share from Sony and Xbox. It’s insane that just making actual games that aren’t riddled with crap and not insta firing everyone who works for you is enough to be the clear front runner.
I wonder if, like Sega and Atari, there will be someone to swoop in and take market share here. I worry it’s a Meta or someone with a terrible spyware product.

Yeah, gotta keep those plugged. It’s just a service for fully draining/refilling the network for maintenance

I was practicing music in a little studio thing I am a member of, and had a backing track playing via bluetooth. I guess I left the share on cuz someone added a bunch of meme songs in the middle of my drumming. I just went along with the first one before turning it off. I hope they heard.

It’s definitely the largest canyon, if I’m reading Wiki right. It’s over 4km long and 200 wide, compared to the Grand Canyon at 277km long and 29 wide

It’s fucking wild that seeing a car commercial is refreshing in that it’s just an actual product.

Man i had a HELL of a time cancelling my service with Comcast when I moved countries. It was this BS even on the phone with a human. Like “what if we offer you a free TV package for 6 months?”
Man I’m not gonna live in the US just let me go

My partner used to work for the FDA doing food safety stuff.
That’s actually part of the problem. The recalls are happening not preemptively but after it’s killing people. People dying from the e coli blueberries then initiating a recall. Nevermind how little prevention is happening before things go to market. Quality and production are always at odds with each other, but the threat of law was the only thing giving quality ammo. Now it’s just pure unfettered capitalism

I definitely called a friend once while traveling abroad when ALL my shit got stolen and was like “yo, I need money” and after some story telling for identity verification he just sent me a grand (which went a long way in S(?)E Asia).
I obviously paid him back when I got home but it fully saved my ass. What a guy

Yeah it’s not about LLMs to me, it was before they were what they are today. It was anti reddit hostility and to raise awareness of “reddit sucks and centralizing your content with a giant company sucks”

- Comment on Was Resident Evil Requiem's Hype Just Marketing? What the Data Actually Shows 4 weeks ago:
Interesting, I played it because my brother recommended it, and absolutely loved it. I thought it was a nice fresh take swapping between the characters, and that the story was plenty good enough for an RE game.
Surprised to hear it’s not well reviewed, but what do I know

I mean you could wear noise cancelling ear buds with regular over the ear earphones, or have earplugs in with over the ear headphones?

I agree. I think it’s the weird wall that goes below the floor with a gap? Like what? Is that a very white flat table adjacent to the wall?
- Comment on More People Are Pre-ordering The $100 Edition Of GTA 6 1 month ago:
Yup, absolutely agree. I have so many hours in ONI, in Factorio, in STS, that I’d happily pay more (and in a sense I have since I’ve bought STS multiple times)
$100 is probably still cheaper than I paid for N64 games with inflation.
I don’t find GTA very interesting, it’s like a gimmick of a game that gets old very fast to me, so i definitely wouldn’t spend anything on it let alone $100.
I’d love to understand the GTA hype. I’ve heard people say they’re gonna buy a playstation just for GTA

It’s geo guesser but not enshittified within an inch of its life. They have soooo many fun modes. McDonald’s, tourist stuff, really obscure things. Good luck, and don’t forget, it’s probably fucking Russia anyway

An Airport for Aliens Currently Run By Dogs
This is a delightful little indie game where you have to talk to stock photos of dogs and complete little unhinged quests. It’s been on gdq in the awful block with the dev before, but only 221 reviews as of now
