Games need to bring back locally hosted servers.
I remember back in the day I could play Warcraft II with a friend over dialup, I’d put his number in and that modem would call his house and he’d answer with his copy of Warcraft and we could play against each other over the phone line with no server.
Even as recently as the Xbox 360 you could system link games and play on multiple consoles without any connection to the internet.
I don’t see why it would be so hard to allow for a locally hosted server on most games. They would still be playable indefinitely without need of any kind of central server system.
And they don’t need to be mutually exclusive, Halo 2 allowed for you to play both on Xbox live and system link games

I would kill for something like the Miyoo Mini in a GBA form factor.
I get that there’s a lot of nostalgia for the Gameboy / Gameboy color layout but the GBA/SD layout is definitely more ergonomically friendly.

Xbox One X 360

Because who can afford a new gaming rig/system AND games to play on it?

Give me back my goddamn customizable colors too!
I hate this “material you” theme they’ve been forcing on us for a few years now.
The pastel colors are washed out and unattractive.

Yep

2, but make him look more indifferent and less angry I think.

Why won’t anyone make these with a GBA layout?
My old GBA was my favorite way to play Gameboy and GBC games because it’s just easier to hold.

$16.99 was pretty steep for how much I used it, I just cancelled.

So they’re turning it into a Driver/GTA clone?

I think Gamers Nexus also did a video on it recently.

Edit: I’m an idiot and I just recently started watching GN so I had no idea it was the same channel 🤷‍♂️

I still miss Google reader

Man I wish I knew about this a few weeks ago, I just replaced my pixel 5 that broke with a cheap OnePlus Nord N30 and let me tell you, I fucking hate this phone lol. If I could justify spending more money right now I’d replace it with this.

The Series X would make a great Steambox

They all cashed out on MMOs, The Warcraft series completely died off when WoW went online.

Spyware that roots your phone.

Isnt this just setting a precedent.

Not a legal precident, it was settled which means there was no ruling.

Single player shooter’s aren’t bad or even unpopular right now. But I think people are beginning to realize that anything that has EA’s name attached to it is trash and just avoid it on principal.

I’m on Connect and it looks the same to me

My Pixel 5.
I can run GrapheneOS and I prefer the fingerprint reader on the back. And that style of fingerprint reader seems to work a lot better than the ones they put under the screen in the Pixel 6 and up.

I mean, you do unfortunately. Other hardware manufacturers have their phones locked down so hard the GrapheneOS devs won’t even touch them.

I take it you haven’t used Windows 11 yet, The start menu is basically all advertisements.

Those are pretty much my exact same specs. Asus TUF gaming?

How’s the frame rate? I saw some reports of 7-12fps from systems that kick the absolute shit out of my 2 year old gaming laptop and had flashbacks of wasting $50 on KSP2, which I still can’t play despite exceeding the minimum specs. So I figured I’d wait to hear from people for a week or so this time instead of potentially wasting money on release day.

I meant specifically the frame rate, not necessarily the game as a whole. I should have been more specific. I do agree with the points on KSP2 though

So it might actually be worse than KSP2 then. I was so disappointed by that.

“what, you guys don’t have phones?”

I’m playing the game pass version and in the early game I softlocked myself by jumping behind something that I shouldn’t have and I wasn’t able to fast travel to my ship because they were enemies nearby. I downloaded the PC version, accessed the console commands, got myself out, saved, then loaded it on my Xbox and the issue was fixed. But I really wish I could have just plugged a keyboard into my Xbox and fixed it in a few seconds rather than waiting on 140GB to download and praying it would work on my 2 year old laptop.

I’m 36 now and we’re still at least 6, probably 8, years from Elder Scrolls 6. If there’s going to be an Elder Scrolls 7 I probably won’t live to see it.

Wait, that’s all I have to do? Now I just need to figure out how to turn video history off.

I always wanted one, but when they made it a requirement to have and link a Facebook account to use it I completely lost interest.

It’s available to pre-register to auto-download when it’s released. It’s not available for download at the moment.

I got the same thing, probably to keep bot farms from masking their IP addresses and influencing results on popular polls.

Destiny 2. I just can’t do the grind all the time anymore. I usually play the first few weeks of the season until the story is done and then wait for the next one. I’m kind of burned out at the moment though so I’m just going to wait for final shape to drop.

It worked 30 years ago, it’ll work today. Now, where’s my cane?

Sounds like a good way to speed up sample collapse. Eventually AI training data will include enough AI written comments and articles that the training data or “sample” will be contaminated by it resulting in training data that makes the AI worse, kind of like inbreeding in humans expressing recessive genetic disorders like diseases and birth defects. Once that happens they’ll need to find a way to accurately detect and remove AI data from the sample to continue improving the AI. But even with the early generations of AI we’re using now it’s incredibly hard to automate that with any kind of real accuracy and attempts have caught a lot of false positives and let a lot of legitimate AI generated texts through.
It’s interesting that the limiting factor on AI development may be the fact that it was released to the public before further training could be done.
