At a certain point the blame lies with the worker, I am pro union but jesus have some self respect and look for better.

Its funny people downvoted you for being the very thing they ae pointing out to you existing.

Its is just a comic that makes the point that not everyone knows what seems common to you and while there is significant overlap in most peoples knowledge people should take delight in being the ones to bring otherwise common knowledge to those who do not yet possess it.

V was still fairly linear, the heists were just missions. If they had done what we expected and let us do heists independently then it would be different. Hoping GTAVI under performs but it likely wont.

The user score has not cracked 80 in 14 years. My point with that game was people were excited for a new MK game after a largr gap. In a two year period they released their three highest rated games since they moved to consoles.

Disagree on all fronts. The competitive piece is one aspect, they could try new game modes that are not just reskins and points like MK Karting, Chess, Konquest, etc.

The modern games all under perform against the ps2 games on metacritic. The only modern one to crack 8.0 or higher is a fourteen yesr old Ps3 entry which had a lot of fanfare as the brsnd returning and was not shit.

Deception Krypt was the best. The rest are shallow hybrid konquestd.

The best MKs had multiple play modes liie Konquest. The push to online pushed me out.

Nintendo suck, they always have. I have always heard the xbox v ps battle coming down to hardware and exclusives but truly Nintendo live and die by Mario et al.

I have a switch, a covid gift and I could not stand their store shovelware or predatory subscriptions so I only ever bought second hand and have now taken to high seas. They suck.

Playstation and Cbox are close behind too.

I bought MK Deception at launch, it had multiple different play modes, a lot of characters and a new incredible sequel MK game came like the next year and another year after that an entire new game with every character ever.

3 complete distinct games that pushed the envelope in 3 years without DLC. New MK sucks, just looks more polished and people think it should be priced with RDR2 AND get the season model?

You are defending greed to the detriment of art.

The PS3 was revolutionary just difficult to shift to programming.

That said a industry in saturated to declining stages of life should probably not make their product less accessible to those giving it value.

Everyone still tried to make it work on PS3, I cant imagine that drive will be there for the ps6 era.

Ps2 was golden Mortal Kombat territory.

I would have assumed that this was just the available space and that the EU has regs around what can be called storage space.

Also fuck Sony, raise the price in te US where they are fucking around. Storage is cheap af nowadays.

This happens a lot. Its where yoga came from.

Got astrobot for my son and GoW for myself.

Other than that it was useless and both of those are not enough to stay. Finally committed to building a linux gaming setup.

I cant specifically remember what IGN did to make me avoid it. There was a revoly.on reddit years ago that stuck with me.

They also rank shit games high and are a but boring, but I think maybe there was a lot of ads or something.

This gen gave me the kick to leave consoles. Neither Sony or Nintendo seem that interested with me being a customer, constant paywalls and upsells while getting less and less in return. I’ll get the next 8-10 years of games through the ps5 after that I imagine everything will be on pc. VR is not my thing, neither is online or live service so I can get all the emulators without a monthly cost.

Consoles are dead.

Playing astrobot time trials at te moment and instant respawns would give me like 20% more playtime

Moving exclusively to linux and piracy, thank you capitalism

“whishlist”

We are under constant attack from lobbying, foreign money, corruption and failing allied states looking to hurt us.

Other countries should be championing these causes also.

Worst AI ever. Outperformed in every aspect, including rudimentary excel formulas, by every other llm I have used.

I have mario games and that is it for switch. Ill wait until the piracy is strong to jump in on swotch two games.

This is my point, if you want to take a picture bring your photography device. Be it your phone or camera.

If you want to take a picture and decide to leave one or both of your photography devices at home - you dont want to take a picture.

A watch with a camera is going to remain inferior because it is a smaller form factor fulfilling a very similar role. Anything that could be done to make the watch camera better could be better utilised in a phone. Making the case that if you wanted to take a picture, you would bring the more capable device.

The maps is annoying, look up hotels, they hide the website behind a drop down in the hopes you book through google…will I fuck.

If OSM had speed trap warnings I would be gone.

Yeah I have droidify on my phone but I had not installed a new app in a bit and my work profile blocked it. I deleted the work profile.

It was the mastodon app I wanted to review

Thats not niche so much as made up. If you wnt to take photos you take your photography device. I understand the same could have been said about digital cameras and phones twenty years ago but that was merging techs, this is sparating them.

The watch will have a significantly worse camera so it would not make sense to take it specifically for photos.

Oh man I am fairly sure that would be covered here. I have had things fixed late based on the principle that tere is an epectation of quality at a certain price point and we also have additional warrantee periods.

Definitely if it was within thebtwo year window theybwould be paying for shipping and all.

Where do you live, that unit isnt old enough to warrant paid repairs

Widely anticipated AAA game from studio with three back to back to back successes within the same brand…no one thought it was dead. We saw the leaks.

Its a tradeoff, we know they only do things for the bottom line but having pridr celebrations did reinforce exactly what the pride movement wanted to push. My work isnt that bad tbh they have a committee that runs talks and discussions on equity and exclusion and the likes. The committee likely doesnt cost much, but they get to champion it and the people in that community feel welcomed and it does help breakdown barriers.

From very cursory glances, it seems there isnt much preventing dumping switch 2 games and it is a short timeframe to figuring out.

Cant wait for Mario Kart world rom, only way I’ll play it

Its probably the case that these are separate groups.

These prices are not pulled out of asses, they calculate the maximum they can charge while keeping or increasing their market share/profitbaility. It sucks the games are going up but people are entitled to begrudgingly take part because they enjoy the product.

New to linux…are flatpaks like sandboxed?

Expand out the detective element, eavesdropping, tailing, building evidence. There are seeds to some of this in Hitmam but it would make sense in 007.

Gadgets man, I am picturing zipwire scene, paragliding, hopefully non quick time event action. The gadgets in Hitman were great for their role but there is a fantastical element to be pushed for 007

100% I will pirate this game if it has any of that always connected shit.

Its a full price purchase otherwise, the three hitman games I was happy to support given their studio position at the time but they are not getting any leeway this time.

They moved into TV and Movie production and have been killing it. I can see them buying a major studio or two with upcoming releases and creating a subscription service for it. I could also see an “Apple TV Plus Ultra” that can run some shit natively.

Ah cool, yeah fuck microsoft. Free Palestine.

What is the BDS link here?

I have one in the attic becuase I saw a cool project to do with a raspberry pi…then I realised im shit at that so there it sits
