- Comment on Ex-Bungie Developers Create TeamLFG, A New PlayStation Studio - Game Informer 1 week ago:
Yeah, that’s kind of why I asked. Gamestop propped up their numbers by bundling the magazine with their discount card. A lot like Apple pushing that U2 album via iTunes and calling it #1. Game Informer wasn’t selling on it’s own merits, so I think the chance of it rallying with it’s old staff is slim.

so is this an Atari situation where the name is being used but everybody behind it is different?

My library also offers a membership with Flipster (magazines).
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
Doesn’t work on Nintendo, for some reason. Mario Tax expanded to anything first or second party, so the best you’ll see is $20 off new price on Mar10 for the games that came out 5 years ago. It’s like every retailer came to the agreement that Nintendo games don’t depreciate.
- Comment on What are some good examples of "Where the fuck do you go" kind of games? 2 weeks ago:
I hate timers on games that give you little guidance. People claim that Fallout 1’s timer is too lenient, but I ended up replaying (and failing) the game twice and still not coming close to finding the water chip. Also, the game constantly reminds you “We’re all dying, hurry up! Every minute you take is an other life lost!”. Same reason I dislike Lightning Returns.

Everytime this game got ported, I’d retry it. I’d get over the bridge, get into town, fight the pirates, earn the boat… and get completely lost.
- Comment on Free open source video editor Kdenlive announces a major release 2 weeks ago:
I wonder how this compares to OpenShot.
I use OpenShot to trim stuff that LosslessCut can’t properly manage, but whenever I use OpenShot I seem to crash it at least once.

I sooo want to play the crappy Armored Core mobile games, but they seem lost to time.
- Comment on Nintendo Switch 2 Game-Key Card Overview 1 month ago:
Yes/No. Both Sony and Microsoft have quality control processes to ensure that whatever is published is going to play on first entry of the disc.
That said, publishers use A LOT of workarounds. Day 1 patches to “finish” the game. Download code inserts. And as of recent, mandatory online server check-ins. As far as I’m aware, Nintendo is the only one who allows publishing half the product with required download.
- Comment on LibreOffice downloads on the rise as users look to avoid subscription costs | The free open-source Microsoft Office alternative is being downloaded by nearly 1 million users a week 1 month ago:
I’m afraid to find out how many people are still downloading OpenOffice, thinking it’s the same software they heard about back in 2010.
- Comment on The specter of a GTA 6 delay haunts the games industry: 'Some companies are going to tank' if they guess wrong, says analyst 1 month ago:
It’s right there in the link. It sold more than Witcher 3, even though it did the wrong thing by releasing early and buggy.
- Comment on The specter of a GTA 6 delay haunts the games industry: 'Some companies are going to tank' if they guess wrong, says analyst 1 month ago:
…and they followed it with Cyberpunk 2077’s disastrous launch but ultimate success. So I wouldn’t hold CDPR as a high standard.
- Comment on The SUPERSEGA Scandal / Retro Gaming's most bizarre failure 1 month ago:
FPGA console gets announced, guy behind the project is kinda weird, multiple demonstration videos are cheaply faked, project scales back, guy is actually really weird, more fake demos, SEGA shuts down the project, people charge back their pre-orders, guy turns to alcohol and does a bunch of drunk interviews/voicemails, and then he doxes his supporters while trying to prove he didn’t commit fraud.
I really suggest you watch it though.
- Comment on The SUPERSEGA Scandal / Retro Gaming's most bizarre failure 1 month ago:
The whole video is wild. I had a huge paragraph written, but decided to delete it because whatever I write doesn’t do justice to how bizarre the whole interaction is/was.
Count me as one who was skeptical but otherwise onboard with buying a Dreamcast FPGA. Glad I didn’t put money down.
- Comment on Micron just demoed the world's fastest SSD with PCIe 6.x tech, a sequential read speed of 27GB/s, and yes, it's just a prototype for now 2 months ago:
exactly. Thank you.
Back in 2012 an affordable $40 flash drive was 1GB. Now $40 gets you a 512GB.
$90 would have netted you a 2GB full-size SD card. Now you get a 1TB MicroSD with adapter
$80 would get you 1TB in spinning rust in 2012… now, with $80 you get… 1TB or if you stretch the budget a little, 2TB. But what if you own a bunch of games like Ark Survival Evolved that take up 435GB of space? Shell out $649
Back when I bought the 1TB, I installed the entire steam library I owned onto it. Now I can’t get more than 6-7 new titles installed. I’m ignoring how insanely fast drives have gotten over the years, but my complaint is storage.

After the “We’re going to delete any cloud captures older than 90 days… oopsie we deleted your local storage”
I’m going to delay updating as long as possible regardless.
- Comment on Micron just demoed the world's fastest SSD with PCIe 6.x tech, a sequential read speed of 27GB/s, and yes, it's just a prototype for now 2 months ago:
fair point, even the MicroSD market would target the mobile user and not so much a desktop.

One step above what I had back in 2012? What exactly does that say about progress in capacity?
- Comment on Micron just demoed the world's fastest SSD with PCIe 6.x tech, a sequential read speed of 27GB/s, and yes, it's just a prototype for now 2 months ago:
I refuse to believe there isn’t much demand for it when we have MicroSD cards approaching 2TB.
- Comment on Micron just demoed the world's fastest SSD with PCIe 6.x tech, a sequential read speed of 27GB/s, and yes, it's just a prototype for now 2 months ago:
I just want bigger drives… I feel like we’ve been stuck at 1TB for at least a decade.

- Comment on Linspire - The Successor to Lindows (that’s still around) | MJD 2 months ago:
tl;dr:
He buys an official USB stick of it (unbranded), finds out it’s an Ubuntu derivative now, with a mix of Gnome and KDE apps, and anything that was proprietary Linspire software on it hasn’t been updated for a decade. Concludes it must be for schools and corporations wanting an official support team.
- Comment on PS5 Pro sales ‘have fallen behind PS4 Pro in the US 2 months ago:
I thought I was losing my mind after seeing all the PS5 Pro praise. Glad to see that the numbers matched what my expectations were.
I do wonder if Sony bought out some influencers or something, because it was oddly counterintuitive amounts of praise.
- Comment on Gamers go offline in retro console revival | The Guardian 2 months ago:
You answered your own question. You just cheated, or you played it over and over and over until you got really good/lucky.
You have to realize, a lot of the early stuff came off the backs of arcade that were designed to be played repeatedly with little progression aside a number that went up.
- Comment on How Nissan and Honda's $60 billion merger talks collapsed. 2 months ago:
They were one of the few, if only, remaining manufacturers in the US that produced a subcompact car. Yet they are getting rid of both the Versa and Altima.
I hate how everybody bloated up their fleets with crossovers and SUVs…
- Comment on Struggling to get PI OS working on a 3B 3 months ago:
Any reason you avoided the official Raspberry Pi Imager software? You really can just configure a headless OS all before flashing the SD card. Choose RPi OS lite from the list, then set up your hostname, username, password, wireless and turn on SSH service. Then all you have to do after flashing is plug in power and SSH in. None of this display troubleshooting would be needed.
- Comment on Struggling to get PI OS working on a 3B 3 months ago:
Two questions:
Do you have anything between the Pi and Display, like an HDMI switch? Sometimes the Pi incorrectly sets the display resolution if it can’t communicate with the display directly.
Did you use the Raspberry Pi Imager program? You can configure SSH and WiFi, before you even image to SD. It’s how I set up my headless stuff so I don’t have to futz with connecting displays.
