Huh, well now. I’m conflicted honestly, good on Valve for still giving a 3-day grace period on placing an order. Jump in at the beginning, or walk away and wait for the stronger spec SteamOS-running machines sold elsewhere? No idea when these will become widely available though, is the kicker
I’ve been sniggering at this screenshot of last nights Nintendo Direct for too long, yet my skepticism is running on overdrive that this cover art is truly genuine so it’s not the greatest sensation
You are indeed. I sent my dad just this photo and he said to me he nearly dropped his phone
Woof, that’s me done on this for today. I’ll believe this when I see it of RAM prices seeing any kind of believable reduction Simultaneously, I would love a sustained inquest in to just how as much as *40%* of the global supply was appropriated even in a fever dream by one company
What the bastard heck are you positing this for, apart from baiting traffic? This is the furthest thing from restoration and like everything else with genAI is unwanted by normal people
Those glasses are staggeringly dangerous accessories, by design. See also and beware of transport/hospitality workers (the last group hopefully not also keen on making content)
Me being a massive fan from overseas of this planned stream and both participants, having to wait a day to catch up because time zones
This fantastic question “what is the most useless piece of video game knowledge you know” posted over on Twitter a few years ago; is I somehow distinctly remember one of the last times I felt good about being on that site
The above would’ve been a huge deterrent to the exact same sequence in smaller scale taking place here. Effortless strip mining by dickhead collectives
I’m currently working my way through this, as it turns out. Which won’t stop me from aiding you in your mission - copy ordered!
Speaking of, I spent some of today clearing out some boxes of old gaming stuff and I found it. This is a first run cartridge, bought a few weeks after launch Now has pride of place on a shelf Buzzing
Then there’s finally, finally the physical Blu Ray release of season one of Edgerunners. Cannot wait to get my hands on this, though the release date(s) are still unannounced
I don’t want to be anywhere near the detonation of this bubble when it does explode. Unfathomable levels of trust and grift applied to torrents of vapour, nothing more
Before seeing this article today I already loathed to fuck how engrained Spotify is in the music industry, at every level. This seals it, would be incredible to see bands at all levels start to desert the platform but they’re forcibly beholden to the parasite because ingrained name recognition
Just tapped on that guys new BlueSky handle to enact the block, and saw this had already done it for me. Sputtered coffee
Still not quite over how impressed I am at the achievement by CDPR getting a tech demo running already (on a base gen9 console too) is for The Witcher 4 Simultaneously jeez is this itch going to be unbearable for the next ~2 years until projected full release Staggering
I now own my first Kia EV6 AWD that finally fit the budget, drives like an absolute dream and such a cool space irrespective of it being the first gen. Discontinued colour too, which is gorgeous #TeslaTakedown
Apple just cannot help themselves. It’s been a good salve to remember that I have absolutely nothing set to collect or share health data, on any of my iDevices Cue more hunting for increasingly brazen hidden options added to Settings
First print copy of my new annual subscription @wired.com magazine arrived this week. It’s a corker as expected Please subscribe folks if you haven’t yet and can afford to do so
What game ignited your passion for gaming as a kid? Star Wars: Dark Forces, which absolutely captivated me having watched Ep IV on TV before getting this on a compilation demo disc for Win 95
Had a read through the Grammys winners list from yesterday. This jumped out a mile and has made me so stoked Congratulations Gojira & collabs being duly recognized for smashing a once in a lifetime opportunity at the Olympics
So sad to hear that Denis Law has passed away. The remaining 2/3rd of the United Trinity gone inside of 18 months, my Dad’s numb tonight as he saw all three undeniable legends of the game play for and win everything with United for years
At “only” $549/perhaps £499, the just announced RTX 5070 becomes a good candidate for my still-on-paper gaming PC. And yet, the temptation still remains to push for a 5080 to get some more future proofing
Regarding my area of expertise, you can fuck off all the way into the sun with this
Screengrab of one of the worst known offenders in GBible. “Way past the edge of traditional clickbait” is apt, but with many areas of game dev I’m feeling slightly ill at the clamor of AI garbage taking hold and promoting eventual ruin
Plenty to love in Jason’s (unordered) list here, and this banger of a line to open with. Hit hard, personally www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...
