I’d be on the knee then and there.

Never thought about it, but yeah… Sisyphus would be shredded. 24/7 sitting behind a desk would fuck him up though.

Mine has seen some use… but its nowhere near what I was expecting when I bought it. I own it for the exclusives and while I did enjoy them (GT7, Ragnarok, Spider Man 2, Astro Bot, Death Stranding 2), I also think I could have done without them and waited for the eventual PC release. I hope Intergalactic (Naughty Dog) remedies my feeling towards the console, but so far, nothing it’s seen has been generation defining.
Most probably skipping consoles after this gen.

They’re gonna have to get passed Boo generic ghost though…

I’ve pretty much settled on just printing flower pots and cute animals for my sister. Last one was this bulbapot

I don’t think I’ve pirated a game since 2008! Used to be if I didn’t like their price, I waited and bought on sale or used. Now that I play on PC and used games aren’t a thing anymore, I just don’t play it.

There’s a sea of games out there and If I don’t like the practices of the publisher, I skip them and move to the next. Why should I engage with their product if they don’t respect me as a customer or share my sensibilities? I’m not a hypocrite.

Always amused me how cartoon bones for dogs always looked distinctly human.

I wouldn’t say no to oblivion remaster treatment. Completely new models and environments in a new engine, while running the old game logic.
Right now it really does look like they remastered it to in 2007 and are releasing it now.
I think its more sad they’re doing a remaster and not putting more effort into it.

Man I remember this photo. Bought V for 360, beat it and haven’t touched it since. After Gay Tony and The Lost and Damned I waited for a story expansion that never came.

Since building an internal combustion engine that complies with the regulation, is fuel efficient and fast is really difficult for them since they lack the century of experience that the other manufacturers have.

My 2c:

You’re right they are going to become the EV king, but its not because they lack experience making ICE engines. Chinese vehicles with ICE engines are being sold on the European market and have been sold there for a while now. They weren’t able to out compete other manufacturers on the EU market because other brands have been well established and their lower prices were not significant enough. What I mean is: you aren’t going to disrupt a well established and saturated market with the same product.

The shift to EV presented an opportunity of equal ground on the EU market, in fact on worldwide markets. Domestic makers were not fast enough to adapt and so Tesla was able to gain a significant portion at the start. Other makers caught up soon but weren’t able to offer EV cars for the same prices as they traditionally did ICE cars. Now you have an unsaturated market with highly priced products. Chinese companies can exploit that. They don’t even have to disrupt any markets, they just need to enter them. Demand is there, supply is lackluster.

Its also an opportunity for new companies to start up and start picking at the old guard of 50+ year old car manufacturers. This is where you’re right. New companies don’t need to develop an ICE because its complex and difficult, making an EV is easier. Its just ironic the old car companies weren’t able to adapt. Was it their old ways? Bureaucracy? Oil investments? I don’t know.

Ohh… shes talking about Trump… makes sense.

So anyway, you guys excited for Hades 2?

I’ve been around the crypto space for quite a while now and its way more regulated than it ever was. 10 years ago, it seemed like it was a way for the people to control their money (before investment minded crypto bros ruined it all). Steam accepted it, you could buy things with it. Now it’s hard to get it without sending a photo of your ID to some exchange.

Yeah… all I wanted was Freelancer 2.
Then I realized, Microsoft had to step in, get rid of Roberts so Freelancer could see the light of day. And it dawned on me, we’re not seeing Freelancer 2 from this guy.

Its to hype up stock value. I don’t even take it seriously anymore. Many businesses like these are mostly smoke and mirrors, oversell and under deliver. Its not even exclusive to tech, its just easier to do in tech. Musk says FSD is one year away. The company I worked for “sold” things we didn’t even make and promised revenue that wasn’t even economically possible. Its all the same spiel.

I don’t know… my experience is that in Muslim communities they wont let you leave until your stomach explodes… then they offer you coffee and sweets to go with.

High budget triple A vs indie. Lets not pretend these games are targeting the same audience. There’s always been a division between small games with small dev teams and small budgets and triple A (whatever that may mean). Once you see the line, you can’t really compare the two anymore. I agree that the lines are sometimes blurred (what even is indie? what is AA? what is AAA?) but I think its clear Silksong was never going to be marketed next to Monster Hunter. A fair(er) comparison would be Hades 2 and the price difference is non longer so extreme.
Or… you know… we can add Vampire Survivors to the mix…

Yeah, I just use System.Net.Http.HttpClient and a basic html to md converter. Half of websites don’t work but I figure if they are too complex for this simple setup, I don’t need to see them anyway.

Ahh classic, punishing paying costumers while pirates don’t have to deal with any of this shit. I guess the beatings will continue until profits increase!
