As much as Twitch needs gutting, Kick is much worse.

It's really not a big deal lol. He already pointed out his error and leaving the video up is fine, it's showing that you can make mistakes and hold accountability. But its a fucking DVD video, let's not blow something so minor out of proportion for "drama" lmao
- Comment on [Technology Connections] Some DVD re-releases got cheapened out in a weird way [17:59] 5 days ago:
Well it doesnt matter, he acknowledged they are probably bootlegs in the comments and updated the title. People make mistakes, but its not a very big one here and the overall point of the video is still the same.
- Comment on Xbox consoles and games will no longer be sold at Walmart and Target, according to employees 1 week ago:
It's handheld, which is already a major difference to the other consoles, along with the little Wii style control options.
They aren't selling it because of processing power, or necessarily the gimmick aspect, but on portability and affordability. That makes it a more compelling product than gimped PCs that cost twice as much.
- Comment on Xbox consoles and games will no longer be sold at Walmart and Target, according to employees 1 week ago:
I think Nintendo will survive the longest, the Switch is a handheld with gimmicky features which appeals to kids and families. They have strong IPs, people will buy literally anything that says Pokemon on it. They are very anti-consumer, but that doesn't matter to most unfortunately.
Xbox and PlayStation are essentially just heavily restricted PCs, so they don't really hold the same value as a Switch might.

It's just that people order online mostly these days. Sony are also doing this with their PlayStation.
Honestly though, consoles are dying breed.

Ugh I hate reading threads like that, the amount of delusion, stupidity and ignoranxe really gives me no hope for humanity.
Just vile people, fuck off facsists.
- Comment on Amid EA's unpopular $55 billion buyout, Baldur's Gate 3 director takes time "to remind people that making games faster and cheaper while charging more has never worked before" 2 weeks ago:
If it includes marketing then yeah, it's mostly that. $700M is an absolutely absurd astronomical amount for what CoD is, on a purely development basis.

Sledgehammer Games. They never really kept the cycle, studios kept fucking up and others had to come in to help etc.

You cannot convince me it cost $700M to make any of the recent CoD games. They are rehashes of each other. That has to include literally every dollar spent during the games development lifecycle across all studios and the publisher, right? Otherwise they are just pissing money away.

But you guys yourselves released a buggy mess even with early access for 3 years? Why did you rush it out?

The inevitable, it was always going to rise, it was loss-leader to get market share.
- Comment on "I’m Canceling My Subscription": Xbox Players Call to "Boycott" Game Pass "Hard" Over 50% Price Increase As Microsoft’s Website Crashes from Mass Cancellations 2 weeks ago:
They used to constantly offer $1 offers, I'd take that for a month and try a game I was interested in. I got value there, but I'd never pay more than that and certainly not on a recurring basis.

Legally sure, but what people mean is you have a copy and there's no DRM check-in to execute it and play it. Steam offers DRM-free titles too, it's entirely up to developer discretion.

Didnt do Playstation any good, their online service was still just as shit, they just pocketed the money. I think consoles reached their peak anyway, PC is much more accessible and a more appealing option now, the market is shifting.

Not that I was buying any of EA's products for the longest time, but now I definitely won't even consider it for a second.

Its the future of Windows, it allows Microsoft to have more control over the hardware. You will own nothing.
- Comment on Supporting the future of the open web: Cloudflare is sponsoring Ladybird and Omarchy 3 weeks ago:
And I explained that I disagree that it "wasnt that bad". It absolutely was an issue and it was handled poorly. Without the backlash, I highly doubt they would have changed their mind.
- Comment on Supporting the future of the open web: Cloudflare is sponsoring Ladybird and Omarchy 4 weeks ago:
After a large backlash, yes. It's all resolved now and I support the project, we need another browser engine. But to not see the issue at all? Really?
- Comment on Supporting the future of the open web: Cloudflare is sponsoring Ladybird and Omarchy 4 weeks ago:
It was pointed out and could have been corrected easily, nobody was accusing them of doing it intentionally. Instead they doubled down, which then did show their views and caused the controversy.

Just adopt red and white stripes. See what they do then

I think you can enable it as the default mode and then it will load the game quicker? Definitely checkout Unciv if you haven't already!
- Comment on 1 month ago:
You can play Unciv on mobile I guess, I don't see why you would want a strategic view only though? Nothing stopping you just using that mode exclusively yourself.

- Comment on Hollow Knight: Silksong is out now on Steam - and it broke Steam servers for 15 minutes and counting now 1 month ago:
Steam just lends itself to indie games more, which is good. It could do better, but overall there's a lot of great games that get the recognition they deserve. Triple A finds most of it's success on consoles, where they can easily market it on the front page of the console, rather than just on the store.
PC is (unfortunately?) really getting mainstream now, so we are starting to see a lot morals thrown out the window by consumers just to play the latest AAA slop too.
