Yes

I dont know, I have heard valid complaints but the western setting doesnt allow for much other than bandit themed random encounters and favours. There are other more out there ones that hint to larger things like time travel etc.

DDG was great, but it absolutely has gotten worse and now gives tailored results. If I search a random name I will get doctors and business people with that name in my area even with location turned off. I moved to qwant.

They always sucked, they used to have a list of some software that I used and downloading through them inevitably got you multiple.other prompts for third party shit and random download buttons.

Enshittify?

10% the size of google is decent. If I had ten percent of a tech giant’s reach in any particular sector I would consider myself significant but I get where you ae coming from

I went looking for a quick explainer on this and that side of youtube goes so indepth I am more confused.

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.

The pixels are too expensive for me to do this 🤮

Its a feature, make the product unusable if its not used as they intend. Take the sim card out of your car and watch it go into limp mode.

Game - year - critic/user score

Shaolin Monks - 2005 - 77/87

Armageddon - 2006 - 75/80

MKX - 2015 - 83/77

MK11 - 2019 - 82/43

MK1 - 2023 - 83/65

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.

The best thing about this shit show is el spastico’s trade war having readied other countries for hard times and pushed them to diversify and make new trade deals. The US deserves its suffering completely, and now they will drag the world down less when they shit the bed.

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.

Great idea - impressive comprehension from associated reports

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.

It’ll be a battle and then they’ll get knocked and so on and so forth until we get these lazy cunts out of politics and break up the fuckin tech companies.

Ps2 was golden Mortal Kombat territory.
