I get that confusion in Baseball. Crossed arms and “no” gesture means safe, thumbs up means out? I guess it makes sense from the perspective of the pitching side. But I always have to remember which is which.

I had a 3000 with a cracked screen. I could use it to display on the TV. But I went ahead and changed the screen out. I must have messed up the wiring though, because now it only works when plugged in.

Hacking it also let’s you swap O and X for canceling and selecting. To my knowledge, that’s the only downside of getting a Japanese Vita.

Much larger than bats.

Endless entertainment, whether they’re in character or not.

- Comment on Xbox as a platform is officially dead 2 weeks ago:
Halo 5 has great gunplay and multiplayer. Plus elements of the campaign like the Guardians were cool.

Mine has a reheat button that I use on anything that doesn’t have explicit instructions with it. It heats at a lower power and I’m pretty sure has a censor (the time only starts for the last 30 seconds).

THANK YOU! E-tier sucks.

WTF, I remember getting Final Fantasy XV day one, getting pissed at the FOMO carnivals, and thinking surely they would rotate back in or all be included at some point. Still absolute bullshit.

IMO, Morrowind is one of the greatest games ever made. I play it regularly and it holds up. The problem is that it’s not intuitive if you don’t know how it works.

The combat is great. It just doesn’t sit right with people that it’s not as action RPG as it looks (swing and miss) and it never tells you how important stamina (fatigue) is.
- Comment on ...is this retro? 1 month ago:
Yeah, but the SNES became retro the moment the PS1 came out. That leap in tech was ridiculous.

I remember my mom getting me Halo 2 two months after the release date and how excited I was because I knew how hard it was to get. That was 2004. Halo 2 is drinking age now.
I remember getting a Wii after release but during one of the console drops. We were second in a line of about 10. I think they had like 4 available.

I’ve got 3 and I love mine. My kids love them too. But I know a lot of people regretted getting theirs (I got one of mine second hand) and the people who want them, got them.
I kinda hate it because it was a great niche to fill. But now it’s filled.
- Comment on Xbox Hardware Sales Plunge 32% YoY as Services Keep Gaming Division Afloat 1 month ago:
I already have a PS5 which I’ll get it on. I got the Xbox on a discount to play Halo Infinite with good specs (ended up hating it) and Fable. I kinda hoped for some other benefits. But end of the day, I didn’t actually need it for anything.
- Comment on Xbox Hardware Sales Plunge 32% YoY as Services Keep Gaming Division Afloat 1 month ago:
That’s what I meant by multiplatform. I don’t fully regret my Xbox because I got it one of those steep discounts and I have Halo lan parties. So a second xbox is nice. But it’s essentially just a more powerful Xbox One now.
- Comment on Xbox Hardware Sales Plunge 32% YoY as Services Keep Gaming Division Afloat 1 month ago:
I bought mine assuming the new Fable would be a console exclusive.
I also use it for Halo and Morrowind. But damn, I probably wouldn’t have bought it if I had known it would be multi-platform.
- Comment on Fable - Gameplay Teaser 1 month ago:
I thought that the point was that the King was only interested in saving everyone, so he didn’t even consider that he could avoid being a tyrant. Like, if I remember right, you can overcharge for rent to get the money without going overboard. He just said fuck it and took everything.
- Comment on Fable - Gameplay Teaser 1 month ago:
Wasn’t that only if you didn’t balance it enough and let the greed/evil rating go all the way up?
- Comment on Fable - Gameplay Teaser 1 month ago:
What was wrong with it? You had the big epic boss battle, and then the other guy. I liked how they handled it.
- Comment on Fable - Gameplay Teaser 1 month ago:
I liked 3 a lot. But it’s way too easy. IIRC you also can’t die. You just revive with a scar. But I never “lost” until I got to that assassin for the DLC.
Also, yeah, the ending was price gouge all of your rental properties or let everyone die. Like, great, what a choice.
Gameplay was fun though. Missions were fun. Everything was good except those two things.

My thoughts exactly. I’m a console gamer. So a straightforward all-in-one box is great.
- Comment on Square Enix says it wants generative AI to be doing 70% of its QA and debugging by the end of 2027 4 months ago:
Maybe before. But it’s gotten pretty damn good at detecting anomalies and issues. And every time a human QA validates the info, it gets better.
I’d still leave it to a human to fix the code though. I suspect that letting AI write the code would make it unworkable for people in the future. But maybe it can write code in a straightforward way to be managed. I don’t know. It’s advancing pretty fast.
- Comment on Square Enix says it wants generative AI to be doing 70% of its QA and debugging by the end of 2027 4 months ago:
From a tech POV, that makes a lot of sense. Use AI to find the needle in the haystack. Then let a person validate. That’s probably one of the better uses for it. Although I don’t love AI for any of the broad reasons to not like AI.
- Comment on US government uses Halo images in a call to 'destroy' immigration, Microsoft declines to comment 4 months ago:
I don’t know what’s worse, that Microsoft may have given them the go-ahead or that they did it knowing Microsoft would be too scared to say something.
- Comment on 4 months ago:
That’s a normal complaint. I thought Reach was peak esthetic for Halo because it was big recognizable variations in armor.
After that they made intricate armor variants that largely go unnoticed because they just look like a mess.
- Comment on More Halo: Combat Evolved Remake Details Emerge, Including Who Is Making It 5 months ago:
The good: Gunplay was the best of new 343’s Halo games. They made the Prometheans fun to fight. Warzone was the only good thing to come out of 343’s multiplayers. The lootboxes which could be earned was better than infinite’s paid season passes and expensive armor cores. They also had probably the only good iconic anything from the 343 games in the Guardians. On top of that, they had the best villain of the 343 games (evil Cortana).
The bad: They brought back Cortana after a amazing send off. The Didact never appears again despite having a teaser at the end of 4. Half the story is you playing a random Spartan chasing John for being “suspicious”. The team dynamic isn’t great and is leaned into. Warden Eternal SUCKS. And then he sucks again. And again. NO SPLIT SCREEN, AT ALL! No real Firefight, but none of 343’s games have had real Firefight.
Anyways, infinite sucks and I wish it didn’t exist. I’d rather have had a Halo 6 close out the Promethean story and do more with the Guardians.
- Comment on Rock Band 4 to be delisted on tenth anniversary following the expiration of its licenses 5 months ago:
Thanks! I actually just bought one of the those that are delisting soon a couple nights ago. So that makes me feel better. I’ll have to go through this first list tonight.
- Comment on Rock Band 4 to be delisted on tenth anniversary following the expiration of its licenses 5 months ago:
It absolutely isn’t a legal defense. You’re right.
I’m saying it should be legal. Starting now, since digital is a standard. Nintendo needs to put it out or let people share it. They can have 10 years (or the highest of 5 years from now/10 years from when it was last available). Something like that.
The TV movie standard of everything being available should be the video game standard.
