n****r-man was the name of one of Lovecraft’s family cats when he was growing up.

And typically the boycotters weren’t even the sort of people who were buying a switch 2 to begin with. Maybe there’s a subsection of them that will result in some loss of sales but it would be in the fraction of a percent. There’s no surprise to me when gamer boycotts fail.

With that said, the sales were unexpectedly high. Maybe people trying to get ahead of potential future tariffs were the reason. I thought cost of living was fucked and nobody could afford anything.

I’ll be waiting for the inevitable OLED refresh anyway.

I played the first 3 after the 2018 reboot, then Ragnorak on ps5 on release. All are great IMO.

GoW3 was pretty special. I played the remaster on PS4 and and it is a big graphical jump from the first two after my eyes had got used to ps2 graphics again.

The sex minigames in all 3 are so very early 2000s and I loved them.

The reboot is a pretty good continuation of the combat formula, but there does feel like there is more variety in the originals.

Ragnorak stretched on a little too far, and I was fatigued by just how amazing everything looked eventually, but it was still a fun time. Just a less tight package than the very enjoyable 2018 Gow.

Yep, waiting for the cynically released OLED version halfway through the gen in 3-4 years.

I think ESL could be a factor. Definitely LLMs have better English prose than this. I’m so used to seeing long running AI slop articles answering basic questions in 1000 words (rather than 10) and this reads similar.

Definitely pumping up the word count. The paragraph used to come around to the fact that Metacritic (not steam) is the site where SMKW is being review bombed gave me visceral feelings of anger.

Is this article written by AI? Some long running, poorly phrased sentences here.

Does OpenAI make anything other than chatGPT? Because an LLM honestly didn’t seem like a very good AI fit for such an industry that relies on accuracy.

Indeed. I think if you know about the other storefronts and isthereanydeal you don’t get a wrapped about steam summer sale. There’s usually some new ATLs that push newer/bigger game prices down a bit further than usual though.

Lot of people saying it’s Meh but ones that I’ve been tempted by are:

ATL 53% off for Cyberpunk 2077 Ultimate edition

• this passes the $60 AUD threshold which I’ve been holding out for

Crash Bandicoot Nsane trilogy for 90% off

Stanley parable ultimate edition at lowest price since 2023

• deals for this game have been tepid since December 2023, but this matches the ATL

This is the easiest way for sure.

That would be a shakeup. If they released a Gaming veraion of Windows on a PC with quick resume that also played much of the Xbox library going back to the OG Xbox, that could appeal to a lot of people.

Its shocking to me that Xbox is run by the same company that has an operating system installed on 71% of the worlds computers, and they still haven’t figured out how to leverage that for Xbox gaming.

12 is remembered more fondly than maybe it deserves. The Gambit system was interesting though.

Okay, we need to right this ship. Everyone who works on the south end of the office: get to work on optimisation. The rest of you, you’re fired.

God this guy broke ToS while connected to the internet? Can’t MigSwitchs run offline? I thought it was just a cart dump.

The lost crown was extremely refreshing.

Loll, people will never stop getting these confused

Move fast and break things is not good when government is involved.
