Feel like it’s already there

I’m with you on the price. I’d probably have one already if it was 150, which is what the GBC would cost today with inflation factored in.

Positively itching for this

They walked back the $80 price point, but I definitely agree they’re trying to figure out ways to push people to gamepass. They just keep stepping on rakes

Microsoft seems to be throwing in the towel as far as driving people to their storefront is concerned. They’ll be putting out all their games on anything that can run them.

IIRC yes it can run steam games

lol, touche

I don’t think anyone who has ever been a corporate executive should be talking about wage slavery. My man lives in a glass house

Yeah that tedium doesn’t go away, imo. There’s a mission that seems inconsequential at the time, but has huge implications for the main character that I really didn’t want to engage with, but the story is the story, there isn’t much if any player agency.

I suggest going on the hunt for the Klan rallies that happen in one area of the map before putting it down. Incredibly satisfying killing those pricks in exotic ways.

So they released memory anemic 5 series cards just so they could pull this bs a few months later, shocking.

But why?

Based and Kvlt pilled

Pretty much what I expected, thanks for confirming

It’s kind of messy because I think there is a subset of the fandom where it isn’t necessarily sexualized. Like, Khajit and Argonians from Elder Scrolls are pretty much furries but they’re not explicitly sexual. Feel like I’m getting over my skis in terms of my understanding of that fandom since I’m not in that world. No idea how if at all those cons keep the kid safe stuff separate from the sex shit, if at all.

Some, maybe. Regardless, if two consenting adults want to pretend to be animals or even pretend to be kids while they hump I really don’t see a problem.

Does a diaper wearing fetish predispose someone to pedophilia? This reeks of slippery slope fallacy

You don’t have to like it, I’m certainly not into it. Still failing to see how it not being for you justifies puritanical bans

It’d be funny watching Microsoft continually step on rakes left right and center if there weren’t so many people’s jobs on the line. It’s pathetic behavior from them

I feel like this is all driven by MS diving full force into AI stuff. Their capex is going to be insane so they’re cutting shit left and right to keep Wall Street happy while they set cash on fire trying to make AI something more than anime profile pic generators.

Sony only publishes the PlayStation versions. MLB Advanced Media publishes it on every other platform.

That game was not good, but I sure did have fun as a teen fucking around with the multiplayer. Those early 360 games were weird

Seems a foregone conclusion at this point that they’re going to brand a PC as an Xbox and allow it to run both Xbox and PC games on it. They may not even bother making the hardware themselves like they’re doing with this partnership on the “Xbox” handheld which is really just a cross branded Asus handheld.

While I agree with you in principle, they didn’t buy the Initiative. It was a studio they founded that hasn’t shipped a single game.

Perfect Dark looked cool though, this is a major bummer.

I should spin this game up again

Well, there’s always 686 Ebullient Prism or 2401 Penitent Tangent

Was hoping for something halo since it’s #343

Truly a man of the people

I agree that people glaze up Gabe way too much (the dude has a fuckin mega yacht for Christ’s sake), but in the specific area of games pricing I don’t think Steam is much of a problem from a consumer standpoint. I still think they should give more of the sale share to the actual devs though.

This is sad. I was a Halo fanatic. I read every book. I owned a three foot metal energy sword for god’s sake. Watching 343 waffle on what the hell to do on the game side has been frustrating. They had plenty of bright spots in their games (I actually liked warzone in halo 5…) but they lacked vision and conviction in the storytelling that I think really contributed to the fan exodus.

I hope they can turn things around with their new name and new leadership, but I’m not holding my breath.

Read that in the SpongeBob voice

I’d say it’s an inevitability, just a question of when

Reading this headline has me thinking of that guy who documented all the butt cracks at a MtG tournament

It was a pretty fun DLC from what I remember

MacBooks do not. I think the Mac Pro tower supports AMD dGPUs, but for nearly their entire computer line you’re working with integrated graphics. I will say, their high end Apple Silicon chips have some decent graphical capabilities that are comparable to APUs you would find in something like a Steam Deck or Xbox/PS5, so it’s not a total wash. I’ll see if I can find some M series graphics benchmarks now.

Someone please correct me if I’m wrong, but looking at this, it looks to me that the best Apple Silicon results for this specific benchmark put their best processors at about the same level as a 3070 or so.

Considering this is the third time they’ve been caught stealing art, I don’t believe it was the work of a former employee.

I’d say the Jeff that hates Mario party, but now that I think about it, I don’t know how Jeff, Jeff, or Jeff feels about it. I only know how Jeff feels about it.

I’d start watching regularly again if Jeff somehow came back

Pretty ugly lookin tbh
