The last Target I was at only had Xbox games in their clearance section and they were last years sporto titles, nothing current.
Small selection of Playstation and Switch games.

This is in line with what I’m seeing locally. Weird they aren’t doing a fire sale like Sam’s Club:

I don’t remember all the details, but yeah, dad went off to get help and died, but the car was found saving everyone else.

“The Wilderness Doesn’t Give a Shit About You”
People forget that #1 fact even in states that aren’t Alaska.
I remember, years ago, this tech writer driving with his family through Oregon. They went down the wrong road in winter because the GPS told him to and it damn near killed all of them.

Is this because of the UK age verification thing?

Yeah, I should have specified, any species of owl that migrates from Europe to America… Not sure what that image is on about. Everything seems wrong.

Is that more or less disturbing?
- Comment on Can someone fact check this 1 week ago:
For starters, the average owl doesn’t weigh 16 pounds, that’s immediately proven false with a simple Google search. The smallest is an ounce, the largest just over 9 pounds.
On top of that, I can’t find any species that migrates from Europe to America…
So false from the jump.

Weird how what was once applicable to Switch 2 news now applies to Xbox.
Thank god I’m multi-platform…

Such an absolute epic soubdtrack. Actually all the SoR games were great.
Same composer as Revenge of Shinobi which is also fantastic. I guess somebody released the soundtrack on vinyl?

You might even be able to sell it for what you paid for it…

The point where I realized it was fake was when nobody was complaining about the font or going “Uhm, aktually it’s ‘typeface’!”
- Comment on The Video-Game Industry Has a Problem: There Are Too Many Games 2 weeks ago:
Even if you make an excellent game that makes money you can STILL be on the chopping block. See Hi Fi Rush. 😟
- Comment on The Video-Game Industry Has a Problem: There Are Too Many Games 2 weeks ago:
“Of the 1,431 games released last year that garnered more than 500 reviews — an indication that they were played by at least a few thousand people — more than 260 were rated positively by 90% or more of the players. More than 800 scored 80% or better.”
Problem - You can’t trust Steam reviews. Steam users will give top ratings to “Click the Duck”.

- Comment on Can someone find a redeeming factor about this game? Like anything good about it. 2 weeks ago:
IIRC this was the same of the Commodore 64?
For the era, the music and gameplay was pretty on point. Not sure about the NES version. I had fun with it.

My biggest feather in my reddit hat was that they included me in their net neutrality filing with the FCC. I am actually pretty proud of that.
What ever happened to them after that? 😭

From what I hear from people actually able to play the game, it’s better than 3.
Something like:
2 > 4 > 1 > 3 > Pre-Sequel
- Comment on Mods react as Reddit kicks some of them out again: “This will break the site” 3 weeks ago:
Speaking as a former top 1%er redditor… figuring out how to do it and being willing to do it are two completely different things.
Life would be so much easier if I lacked basic human ethics. :)

DF is who I’m waiting on, but from what I’m hearing, they didn’t send reviewer codes so it’s all delayed and that’s never a good sign.

How is it on console though? Better on PS5 or Xbox?
- Comment on 5 Signs the AI Bubble is About to Burst 3 weeks ago:
And yet nobody is currently talking about them, having the marketing push replaced with AI.
In a few years, AI tech will be silent, behind the scenes, and if anyone mentions it at all it will be “hey, remember when everyone was talking about AI?” while we’re all bitching about the new marketing buzzword.
I’ve been working in tech for 30+ years and involved in tech for close to 50 now. I’ve seen this pattern over and over again.
- Comment on 5 Signs the AI Bubble is About to Burst 3 weeks ago:
For those of us who have been around the block a few times, AI is going to just be invisible in a few years, replaced by the new marketing buzzword, probably “Quantum”.
Source: Seen it before when the word was “Cloud”. Oh, it’s all in the Cloud! Cloud, cloud, cloud.
Before that it was “Virtualization”. It’s going to make everything more efficient!
Man, I need to make an AI powered quantum cloud virtualization.

Generating bullshit that isn’t really that useful.
Remember when the Apple Newton “revolutionized” computing with handwriting recognition?
No, of course not, because the whole thing sucked and vanished outside of old Doonesbury cartoons. LOL
- Comment on Is there or has there ever been information illegal to possess or have? 3 weeks ago:
For a while it was illegal to export Pretty Good Privacy, or PGP from the US.
FTP servers in the US removed it for fear of legal action.
So I imported it from a University in Scotland. 😉
