Ah. Thank you for informing me o7

OotL: why are we boycotting Rockstar again?

What happened with Firefox?

I think OP meant use Safari with the Apple’s Privacy Relay thing that hides your IP and generalizes location data into a larger area, not just regular “private mode” that Safari has. Too bad it’s subscription only on iCloud+, and who knows if it actually works as well as Apple claims it does.

My EA internship at one of their Canadian offices was the best experience I’ve had in the gaming industry. I feel for my colleagues there, no doubt the work culture is about to get real toxic for them.

Bro, what the fuck are you even saying anymore.

The ketamine has fried these guys brains beyond belief.

OH I see it now. Yeah, the area with Aerith’s house is gorgeous, and I was already enamoured with it in the OG with PS1 graphics. Remake really is great with the environments.

The first screenshot for me is Rude pulling a wrestling move on Cloud, so I’m really wondering if I’m missing a joke…

“iPhone” gets more clicks than “Pixel phone” I guess.

Literally all phones right now are fugly monochromatic bricks. Even the foldables, they’re just thicker bricks.

edit: The Nothing Phone looks kinda cool though last time I checked

It’s so interesting that the Roche fight is where you felt the combat click, because it was the exact same for me! The game got waaaay more enjoyable once that happened, haha.

I know people dog on the remake for not being the OG/overpriced/a scam/whatever, but I really enjoyed my play through.

But when did you play it? Release BL3 and updated/optimized BL3 are two completely different beasts(Reddit link warning).

Same as games like the Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk, fans playing it in release year vs 2025 are gonna have completely different experiences. And BL 3 release was also messy, albeit not as bad as this. I was there.

Make that three, I also call him that whenever he comes up.

This is for newgen gamers though, isn’t it? Konami is probably banking on them seeing this as a “new game” because it’s novel for them, and paying the “new game” price.

Unless the oldheads really want to see Ocelot meow in HD…

You misunderstood: current gen isn’t getting price drops while previous gen usually did. Current gen PS5/Pro and Xbox Series S/X are all actually more expensive now factoring in inflation (excluding the impact of the tariffs) than at launch. Since the Switch 2 literally launched two months ago, we can’t really talk about price drops for it, so we compare the Switch 1. The article headline is correct, and all of this is in the body of the article.

That’s not what this article is talking about though. It’s talking about how single generation consoles don’t get any price drops anymore. The comparison isn’t Switch 1 vs Switch 2 prices, it’s launch Switch 1 vs current Switch 1 prices.

Like let’s vent about Nintendo all we want, but at least let’s read the article first.

The can’t even publish games properly at this point. They’re just gobbling up other studio/publisher’s products for Gamepass.

I hate to tell you this, but they announced it at TGA in 2020…which was 5 years ago.

According to their Wikipedia, Techdirt only accepted money from Charles Koch’s foundation for a lawsuit (amongst other donors), and are owned by Floor64.

Floor 64’s website only has 2 people listed in their management team, but I couldn’t dig up if either are linked to the Koch’s (I was pretty cursory about it though).

The article was worth a read for this quote alone:

VGHF library director Phil Salvador puts it even more simply: “Generative AI video is a great way to preserve video games, in the sense that mirages are a great source of water.”

This is so weird, because they had already restored/updated it for HD when it was on HBO Max, and it was fine. No AI gibberish in the backgrounds. Did Netflix not have the rights to that version or something?

The hours I spent on that FUCKING DICE GAME
