  Better title would be

  LEARN YOU PIECE OF SHIP

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨N++ — 10th anniversary update⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I picked this up on Steam for cheap today just so I don’t have to hook up my PS4. Still a super duper amazing game.

  I have no idea how to unlock the TEN++ content, though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨BALL x PIT | Release Trailer⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Played this for a couple of hours today thanks to Game Pass. So far, it’s a pretty good time. It has some Binding of Isaac / Enter the Gungeon vibes and interesting meta-progression.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨They say remote working less productive⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Sleeping for an extra 60-90 minutes is using the time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨And they mocked me for my WoW subscription 😗⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Have you seen concert ticket prices lately?? Even small to mid size bands playing at 1500 person venues are $60+ for GA. It’s nuts.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Hilariously, the actual Cyberpunk game would work for this. There’s a weapon in the game that’s just a giant dildo, and holding it causes your controller to rumble continuously.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Remember the past⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Interesting tale, hermano.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Spokesperson⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Look, the dude’s an asshole. He shouldn’t be on any talk show because his personal views are not worth listening to. But he has also sold 26 million albums, which is enough to count pretty much anyone as a “music legend”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Shortly After Xbox Game Pass Prices Spiked, the Page to Cancel Game Pass Subscriptions Was Overwhelmed⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean “corpos” in the Cyberpunk sense - mega-huge companies that put profits far and above all else, discarding any notion of ethics, morality, or care about others in the process.

  They’re the companies that buy up emerging tech solely so they can kill it (their competition). They don’t give a shit about long-term sustainability - if it raises the bottom line today, they do it. They disregard laws and consumer protections because the only consequences are paltry (for them) fines, which they see as the cost of doing business.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Shortly After Xbox Game Pass Prices Spiked, the Page to Cancel Game Pass Subscriptions Was Overwhelmed⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s a good callout - treating these game rental services more like we do with streaming video services by subbing to one for just a few months, then dropping it for another.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Shortly After Xbox Game Pass Prices Spiked, the Page to Cancel Game Pass Subscriptions Was Overwhelmed⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Ehh… PSN isn’t really any better. Their Game Pass competitor is a hot mess. Better to just buy games outright, especially during sales.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Shortly After Xbox Game Pass Prices Spiked, the Page to Cancel Game Pass Subscriptions Was Overwhelmed⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Once upon a time, the idea with subscriptions like this was to have customers set it and forget it. Charge them a small/reasonable amount and they’ll keep giving you money forever. Giving people a reason to think about - or worse, evaluate the merits of - the monthly deposit they’re giving you used to be a sin for companies.

  But here we are, seeing the difference between “companies” and “corpos”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve been a big Xbox dude for a long time but I can’t possibly defend this. It’s a garbage move, during a time when everyone’s chief complaint about life is “everything goes up in price way too fast, all the time.”

  They call these changes “upgrades” but that’s just PR bullshit. The big value of Game Pass used to be how it was cheaper than buying games outright. Now Ultimate is $360 a year. How many brand new games that you’re interested in come out each year? Would buying them on day one total anything near $360??
  The value just isn’t there anymore.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon doesn't understand streamer fans⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I used to hang out with friends in college, and I’d do homework in the same room while they’d play videogames (or vice-versa). Throwing a streamer on while I’m working gives the same vibe.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft starts rolling out Gaming Copilot on Windows 11 PCs⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What is this thing supposed to do?

  The article says “Gaming Copilot – which provides recommendations, help, insights and more –” but that tells me nothing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m pretty curious (read: leery) about the post-launch monetization. Does the game feel complete or did they obviously hold things back for the battle passes or whatever? Will I have to pay in to enjoy things like a level cap increase?

  They were pretty clear about going HAM on paid stuff after launch, and the game is already priced super high, so this might end up being a sale pickup for me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hollow Knight: Silksong Sparks Debate About Difficulty and Boss Runbacks⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I also hate, and this is another compounding factor, the complete lack of enemy HP bars.

  IIRC, HK1 had a badge that turns these on. I’m not far enough into the new game to have found this yet, though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sony is releasing a new PS5 console, but it's a downgrade⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Okay, so isn’t that exactly the same situation as the Xbox, but then the Xbox gives you the additional option to actually expand the hot storage?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sony is releasing a new PS5 console, but it's a downgrade⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Are you able to expand the PS5’s storage with just a normal USB 3.0 drive?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stardew Valley will be getting another update after all⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  LOL. We’re not talking about a “hurry up” kinda dude here. His development story is wild. It’s a miracle that he ever actually released Stardew.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tron and Tron: Legacy coming to 4K on September 26th⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I might double-dip on Legacy if this is a legit remaster.
  Not sure that the original will see much benefit vs. the existing Blu-ray, but then again HDR can be a hell of a thing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Atari has acquired five Ubisoft games, including Child of Eden and Grow Home, and will re-release and ‘evolve’ them | VGC⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m really sad to watch this slow-motion train crash continue to play out. Subnautica 2 was a guaranteed hit thanks to the strength of the first game, and somehow the new studio owners have completely fucked that to pieces. Truly a masterclass in snatching failure from the jaws of success.

  Cadence of Hyrule is fun as hell. Gotta fix that on the list.

  Same. I love this game when I’m looking for something to chill with. Relaxed mode (with the timer off) is the way better way to play.

  You would need a 4K/UHD Blu-ray player, too. The Panasonic DP-UB820 is generally considered the best buy - it offers a good balance between performance and price.
