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.

Unless you are a complete retard and manage to negotiate the worst deal for yourself possible and give royalties to your ghost writer. The art of the deal.

Game - year - critic/user score
Deadly Alliance - 2002 - 79/73 Deception - 2004 - 81/80 Shaolin Monks - 2005 - 77/87 Armageddon - 2006 - 75/80
Mk9 - 2011 - 79/83 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.
- Comment on Xbox consoles and games will no longer be sold at Walmart and Target, according to employees 2 weeks ago:
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.

- Comment on Avatar Legends: The Fighting Game - Official Announcement Trailer 2 weeks ago:
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.
- Comment on AMD and Sony’s PS6 chipset aims to rethink the current graphics pipeline 3 weeks ago:
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.

Major fear is corruption of the culture. There are corpos and cunts that would benefit from Steam stopping linux suppory which is a major adoption driver. Nvidia is supposedly a more difficult gpu/cpu to use with linux and the current duopoly leans heavily in their favour.

- Comment on Google fined EUR 3 billion by EU for blocking competition in online ad sales 1 month ago:
My point was it isnt a cost of doing business, if your costs are more than your earnings then it is just bad business.
We dont have a view of how much profit this infraction earned them but I would have a hard time believing it approached 2.5% of their global profit.
Any bean counter is going to love pointing out a fuck up of someone else that they can take credit for remedying.
- Comment on Google fined EUR 3 billion by EU for blocking competition in online ad sales 1 month ago:
Look I am all for increasing fines but people need to stop discussing a fine’s impact in terms of global revenue etc… It is useful but in cases like this the question is do you think that 2.5% of their profits came from this one action, because if not then it was a net loss and the fine will discourage it going forward because it doesn’t make sense.
