yeah i'm going to be real, i think the steam machine is kind of toast at this point.

Probs the best price you’ll find for this drive or something comparable for a long time.

We were already here though. A handheld PlayStation “6” (that’s less powerful than a ps5) was already going to keep all dev for that platform rooted at an even lower baseline than we started this gen with. Same for handhelds and switch 2. A delayed ps6 is kind of meaningless.

i don't want to get all sentimental on main but video games are good, actually.

I just watched a somewhat respected gpu YouTuber call highguard “live service slop” and seriously I can not properly express my contempt for this kind of shit.

Oof the ending to this week’s the pitt just punched me right in the stomach.

It begins. Suddenly optimizing for series s makes a lot more sense 😬

i'm sorry has activision made it impossible to buy the first diablo 4 expansion without also buying the second?

fucking yikes.

the rumor prior to yesterday was that the side-scrolling god of war game was planned as a multiplatform release, and so far it feels a bit like not going that route may have been a mistake (2018 and ragnarok did pretty well on PC, and side-scrolling exploration games seem to find success there).

The longer a game has been in development for, the more important it is to have someone not connected to the studio check it out (or so a lot of successful devs have told me, what do I know I guess).

Man Crisol is a real bummer. Aside from some really glaring onboarding and early pacing (and some truly bad voice acting) it’s riddled with some pretty bush league technical issues (like losing settings when loading a new level or reloading a save???).

i'm going to play some crisol: theatre of idols, which ... is bioshock-ish? twitch.tv/aegies

three major studio films from 2017 used take me home, country roads as a small but prominent diegetic plot device (alien covenant, kingsman: the golden circle, and logan lucky) and I’ve never seen it explained why.

i'm going to stream a little bit of mewgenics and then probably some more nioh 3: twitch.tv/aegies

Just a couple of quick observations about the discord stuff: 1) if you have an account older than six years/your usage fits a certain pattern, they’ll flag you as an adult without any documents (or so they’re suggesting) 2) this kind of age ID seems to be coming for every platform.

i firmly believe apple forcing tumblr to remove porn and adult content (and tumblr management caving and ruining its cultural relevance) is one of the horsemen of the apocalypse for our current cultural moment. a massively maladjusted and combative cohort metastasized into every other network.

Hey friends, I was really hoping to avoid this but I need some help. I'm trying not to over draft before I get paid at the end of next week. If I can raise $150, everything will be "cool". Any little bit helps. Below is my paypal. My venmo is @ pat-baer www.paypal.com/paypalme/its...

i just closed a chrome tab taking up 5.1 GB of RAM and i'm wondering why we're not outside of their offices with goddamned pitchforks.

sorry folks for still posting this, I had two slots fall through so I am still looking for some help 😓

it speaks to the news environment that mitch mcconnell was hospitalized on monday and i'm only now hearing about it.

This was not the episode of the Pitt to watch while eating Jesus Christ.

i'm going to stream some more nioh 3, where my swears aren't acutely boss-related at the moment, but i'm sure will be at some point. twitch.tv/aegies

I need a crypto bro to walk me through this insanity for a story!! I'm working on a piece about Creator Capital Markets--basically, people are now trading based on how viral someone is. Any experts or those knowledgeable in this space? Hit me up!

no bullshit, i have email in my inbox about mewgenics from *2013*.

I’ve decided to go to GDC in part because at least it won’t be fucking snowing in the Bay Area in March.

tapping the sign.

formally requesting that nobody show fallout 4 footage so i don't end up playing fallout 4 again.

i'm going to stream some more nioh 3 and probably talk about steam hardware and how everything is going to be delayed and more expensive than anybody wants it to be: twitch.tv/aegies

i'm going to be honest, i think there were conversations happening inside valve that this wasn't going to make Q1 *while press was there for the reveal event.* and if there weren't people at valve saying "guys i think we've got a problem" then they're not serious about hardware.

Ahem.

the last time i installed windows it was for the 9950x3D launch, and used i devhome to batch install apps, which was amazing (if a little finicky), but MS killed winhome, so now I'm diving straight into winget for a fresh install (i figure after 40+ GPU installs, it's probably time).

Too many people on Bluesky think that relentless expressions of despair are a sign of intellectual sophistication.

I think it's best for everyone to understand that the unified class project of billionaires right now is to do to white collar workers what globalization and neoliberalism did to blue collar workers.

my switch 2 concerns aren't around hardware numbers, which are honestly great, even if they're only just hitting their targets. i'm unsure how the company is feeling about the attach rate, which is sitting around 2.2 games per console sold. coming out of the holiday, that seems soft to me.

good drive, good warranty, closest to a reasonable price you're likely to see for a long time (and it supports hardware encryption, which is absent from a lot of the competition).

I don’t know that normal or even very online people have fully internalized that modern oligarchs and billionaires will never have “enough” money in large part because they think there’s a chance they’ll never have to die, or will at least live for another hundred years.

watching people lionize occupy as a huge success is weird to me as someone who lived one block from snow park and three blocks from ogawa plaza in the fall of 2011.

this is a decent price for an ok performing drive, but the TBW rating on the P series drives are kind of awful (220 terabytes written for the 1TB drives which is a third of better options and pretty easy to hit if you download a lot of games).

hello i am playing more of the nioh 3 demo (since it carries over into the main game): twitch.tv/aegies

Who among us would not launch a thousand ships for the sake of Lupita Nyongo

am i misremembering that there was controversy recently regarding the kingmaker dev?

you're unlikely to find a better price on this much storage for 18 months or so, and you can stick a third party heatsink on it and put it in your PS5.

I’m operating on at least the partial assumption that the vibes here are rancid because so many people are stuck inside and posting because the weather in so much of the states is such dogshit.

The world is nuts, and we’re firmly in the AI slop video era, but I’m begging you all to read the stories you’re reposting/linking/getting angry about before reposting/linking/getting angry about them.

hey it's the rare mainstream report on the explosion in gambling among young men that directly points to online gaming and loot boxes (though it stops short of pointing necessary fingers at valve and counterstrike). www.today.com/parents/teen...
