USA only unfortunately.

Does it have a faster, sleeker looking Dara O’Briain for a logo?

To be fair, ‘PlayStation’ is an American brand now, SIE is headquartered in California.

Switch2 is selling insanely well in Japan as they have their special Japan-only subsidised version. (¥49,980/~USD$313)

Owncast if you’ve got a decent enough internet connection.

Consider- a ‘decent’ 1080p h.265+opus stream will be around 8mbps, if you’ve got 10 devices watching, that’s 80mbps, you’d really want 100mbps+ upstream bandwidth to do that.

If you’re lucky enough to have 1GBPS/1GBPS, then you’re probably fine for a hundred or so devices, if you’re stuck on an asynchronous connection, do consider how much upstream bandwidth you (they) have.

Microslop.

Increasingly yes, Unity is spyware and UE5 games all play, look and feel the same.

But let me guess, Ring 0 anti cheats are fine and dandy? (neither are fine)

I wouldn’t consider the main Dragon Quest series to be AAA, let alone the spin-off builders game…

The problem is anything else is extremely expensive for what should be a $1 a year service or you can self host but constantly be chasing domain blocks since your MX isn’t whitelisted and won’t be by the blue chips since you’re not a blue chip corporation.

Probably still sooner than GTA6 on PC.

I wouldn’t say any update.

The game should be fit for purpose, bug fixes should be expected.

New content should not, a ‘roadmap’ should not be expected. But I do expect the game to work.

This isn’t run by Microslop.

Yet.

two instances of Outlook

pst/ost corruption incoming.

Tape width should be in mm, there is no need to use cm.

I know the topic is prices increasing due to scarcity of parts, but Nintendo should have expected exactly that outcome when they started subsidising the Japan-only consoles with higher prices elsewhere…

And generally not very high quality.

Can’t slowly upgrade a PS5 into a PS6 though.

You can on PC.

Third the employees.

Reminder that Skyrim was made with a staff of ~300, that included revamping Gamebryo into Creation.

Devs with ~1000 devs using UE5 - what are the people even doing other than useless meetings?

We can dream, might be all we’ve got left soon.

Development of the arts is supposed to be for arts that could never stand on their own feet commercially though.

Game publishers shouldn’t ever be getting a cent.

Game developers shouldn’t either unless the game is released for free.

Regular slop, ground truth data structured slop

It all flows downhill.

Maybe the techbros will get the investment class to pay for Fusion within the decade?

I was going to say I haven’t held any nVidia bags in years, but then I spied my Switch 2.

Year of the Linux Desktop AGI Singularity.

I have no plans on buying any mods from Bethesda.

Why?

Because there is no guarantee of interoperability.

With mods from Nexus and friends, I have no expectation of compatibility between gratis mods made by people in their free time. (even though mod authors usually go to great pains to make sure they’re compatible with most anything that isn’t another mod doing the same thing)

If I’m paying for a ‘mod’ (really just DLC) - I expect a paid level of support.

If GenZ has a BS meter, it’s wired backwards.

Viralbility, memebility, social media and coop are the heart of it

So, ‘Authenticity’ really means ‘astroturfing’ in this context?

Not with that attitude Kif!

Assemble the men, we’re turning off clipping.

You’re right though, it’s a lot of cliff wall hugging or diverting to hidden valley.

There is a safe route through there though, multiple in fact.

That’s likely the next step, followed by removing all extensibility in the name of security (…of Google’s profits)

womp womp

I’ll preface by saying I don’t think it’s a good idea, but-

Fallout TV Show (and friends) have brought a lot of new people to gaming that might have eschewed it before, a lot of those people have no idea what they’re doing in videogames.

An ‘AI assistant’ could help in a face-saving way (consider a 60 year old father who’s never played, and possibly chastised games in the past, is now getting into Fallout NV due to the TV show - asking their kids that they ridiculed about games would be embarrassing, but asking an AI may not be)

Basically, letting old people who hated videogames, play videogames.

So it’s a “Game Key Disc”?

Well modding is out of the question then, so the game is a hard drop from me.

So far they’re bogarting real NVME support to ‘enterprise customers’ (though you can enable it on Win11 with a reg entry)

No, go after them all.

I personally don’t think Valve is abusing a monopoly position, but it should be tested nonetheless.

Lootboxes and Gambling on the other hand, Gabe has a lot to answer for.

Going dark after being hit by object

There’s your problem, if a server doesn’t take 3 men and a angry dog to start, is it really Enterprise Quality?

World smallest violin for Ireland.

Their ‘tech industry’ is just admin/HQ jobs due to the <2% corporate tax rate which itself is designed steal the rest of the West’s tax base.
