The real question now is, if consoles are just going to be walled garden PCs with inferior hardware and no disc drive, why would you ever buy one? Games run worse and cost more on consoles. Backwards compatibility is iffy. No mods. You pay the manufacturer to use your own internet. So... why?

Sony operates thier own disc-pressing factories in Japan (Sony Music Solutions) and Austria (Sony DADC). Sony also operates their own vinyl factory in Japan. For a company that can just press their own discs, and then bring back a format like vinyl, this is just sad and kind of frustrating.

If the Dems had any type on game plan, this would be the start of an ad, followed by all the things every day Americans have lost, followed by everything corporations and billionaires have gained and a clear message that Americans aren’t the ones being protected.

So, I will share her as well how Twitter is McFucking dead for artists and visibility. This is anecdotal, but i've been doing commission work for a decade.

A24 announces that they want to put storyboard artists out of work. That's what the headline should be written as. Becuase we should be honest about what these AI "tools" are trying to do, and who it is trying to circumvent. variety.com/2026/film/ne...

Ubisoft eliminates 93 roles in San Francisco

With ALT text. It also should be noted that all of those things are still available. Stop using genAI & search on your own. The reality is that living under capitalism means they will monetize anything they can get their hands on & convince you that you need to buy it from them. You don't.
