but Wikipedia does say that the Deck has HDMI out

No, it has USB 3.0 type-C that’s capable of video output

The patent troll you’re referring to is SCUD (fuck those guys and fuck their owners, Corsair).

Thankfully, Valve won the appeal in their lawsuit a few years back and the patent is no longer valid. Unfortunately, the damage was already done

Wait, isn’t Story of Seasons the new name for the Harvest Moon franchise? What’s a Nintendo game doing on there?

This is huge Bro energy with little understanding of AI and they are fully on the hype train.

Aparently one of the companies that made the purchase is owned by Jared Kushner. You’re probably spot on with that assessment

The hell does “piracy against big companies” even mean?

Paying for indies while pirating AAA isn’t that hard of a concept to wrap your head around. Sounds more like a “you” problem

I’m planning on yo-ho’ing CP2077, but no way an I paying even if I enjoy it. CDPR has fucked me over enough with The Witcher trilogy that they owe me a free game to make up for the time and money wasted.

After that, I might be willing to give them money again for something else, but I’m not paying for Cyberpunk

Supergiant Games took a payout to make Hades a times exclusive for EGS. They still have some anti-consumer practices, even if you personally don’t think it’s as bad.

Huh? Just get an old Dell optiplex tower on Ebay or Craigslist and install Batocera on it. It’d probably cost a similar amount

Why are trying to convince me my omptimism is futile?

Because they’re miserable and they want everyone else to be miserable too

Counterpoint: yar har fiddle dee dee

Reeks of old, greedy executive BS. So short-sighted in terms of both profitability and goodwill.

TBH, this seems like most Japanese companies in a nutshell

No shit. My question is whether there’s enough value in EA’s IP get more than their investment money out of doing that.

If the IP isn’t worth enough, they can’t get their money back, no matter what method they use to extract it

Thing is, could they even get enough from selling the IP to cover the purchase?

All. The. Trains.

PocketPair announced Palfarm^[1],

Except More Than Just Pals is actually being developed

I’ve been playing Monster Sanctuary. It’s a Metroidvania Creature Collector that works surprisingly well.

I’m trying to get through the game before picking up Aethermancer, with is a Roguelike Creature Collector made by the same dev, and it launched a couple of weeks ago

TBH, with the death of Moore’s law we might see competition shoot back up in a few years as smaller players get a chance to catch up

Tim Sweeney, the guy who has his studios go out of their way to break Linux support?

The guy whose lawsuits with Apple and Google are likely why Android is going to require developer registration in a couple years?

The guy whose storefront couldn’t be bothered to add a shopping cart for 2 years despite throwing millions of dollars at publishers for exclusivity?

“Gay people should be stoned to death”

Really peaceful conversation there, huh

/s since you so obviously need it

It’s a tossup between him and Tim Sweeney

Metroidvanias are at their core based on having areas closed off without specific abilities, while open worlds are about having the worl not be closed off. I don’t see how you can make a game that attempts both without failing at being good in either domain

But who knows, maybe it’ll be a Breath of the Wild moment for the series.

At least Zelda was already pretty close to open world with most of their entries. Metroidvanias don’t really work as open worlds as a genre

Yeah, the bike section looked horribly boring.

And even though there’s some classic 1st-person gameplay, we all know Nintendo is going to push for tons of traversal on the stupid motorcycle, which will kill the vibe for the whole game.

They specifically mentioned multiple questlines breaking and blocking progression in addition to several smaller bugs yet they still gave the game an 8/10. I get that IGN reviews are the softest of balls to hit, but that’s ridiculous for even them

Nintendo’s patent lawyers should be reported to the bar association over this. These most recent patents are atrociously bad and could probably get the lawyers sanctioned

To call that dumbass palworld AI SLOP

Found the Nintendo fanboy. How do them boots taste?

Give eternal passes to Sony and Microsoft, but the pikachu/Mario guys are the villains…???

Obvious red herring. People yell about the bullshit Sony and Microsoft pull all the time. Have you ever considered that all 3 are shit?

You are calling me the “dumbass”, here? 😅 Both logic and philosophy say this perspective is wrong

If you’ve ever taken a philosophy course you’d know you’re completely full of shit.

Your whole comment belongs on r/okbuddyretard. Not that I should have expected any better from a Nintendo bootlicker

Yet it doesn’t seem to negatively effect the score

Nintendo is suing Palworld over patents they filed AFTER Palworld released, and said patents are so broad that many other games also technically violate said bullshit patents. Nintendo is the one in the wrong.

Source for the latest bullshit patent that they were awarded: https://www.forbes.com/sites/paultassi/2025/09/10/uh-oh-nintendo-just-landed-a-summoning-and-battling-patent/

Eat my entire ass, bootlicker.

Capcom decided it was appropriate for them to add intrusice DRM into their games AFTER people already bought it.

Capcom can go eat everyone’s collective ass; they don’t deserve business

KIA?

Are you literally asking me to provide proof that somwthing isn’t happening?

You can’t prove a negative, dumbass. The onus of proof is on you

Microsoft and Sony aren’t currently trying to sue other developers into the ground. Nintendo is.

Fuck Nintendo and quit licking their boots

The competitive landscape has not improved one bit.

Except it is when you consider price/performance for the range of cards most people buy.

XX60 and XX70 class cards are where most sales are, and that’s where all 3 companies have something to offer

The main issue is that the average consumer is dumb and keeps buying Nvidia, even though both AMD and Intel have better price/performance and often just more performant in that class due to Nvidia cheaping out on vram. Consumers are treating Nvidia cards as a luxury brand, like iPhones

Repeatedly rewatch it. Need to help jumpstart it in the yt algorithm

Don’t forget the part where the publisher withheld the devs’ compensation for console sales

This is the most softball-assed “interview” I’ve ever seen. PC Gamer is full of clowns

And shitty guitar + singing

Personally, my only complaint is that legendary guns were too common in BL3. I often kept running with the same legendary for 15-20 levels becauae they were still better than the non-legendaries. Why have 18 bajillion guns when there’s 20 better ones you can get semi-often?

Hate it

No, I’m not being hyperbolic. It was a waste of my time that I’d rather have spent on something else
