Even a crapshoot is better than the straight advertisements on Google.

Oh, I’ve seen this movie.

In the next 5 years?

I’m skeptical. In the next 20, sure.

I think Bethesda doesn’t crunch anymore.

Fantastic news for the devs!

The ones in the picture are hospital socks, presumably from a psych related stay.

Hades.

I was pleasantly surprised by Super Mario Wonder. It had the same feel of fun and variety that the older games did.

So people are morons?

Picked up Bloons Tower Defence 6 on sale for $1.50, already put quite a few hours into it.

Serif (which owns Affinity) was just bought out by Canva, so it’s only a moment of time before they are enshittified unfortunately.

Arma 3?

Haven’t played it personally, I’m not big on milsim games, but it’s got a decent following. Might not have the accessibility options though.

I’ve heard good things about Battlebits, for what it’s worth it seems decent.

Does it require a PSN account to use the adaptor?

1×2=2

Wow. Much brain. Maths wow.

They released one on Egypt pretty recently.

It’s the mindflayer power upgrade tree from Baldur’s Gate 3.

Will it require a PSN account to play? Probably…

Game Pass and X Cloud is their strategy.

But it turns out that there’s not a whole lot of reason to get Game Pass if the games suck, and if you want to play a game long term, you’re better off buying it once on Steam instead of paying a subscription.

And X Cloud still sucks ass.

They have no decent exclusives, and their purchase of Bethesda didn’t pay off because Redfall and Starfield sucked ass.

They wasted billions on Activision Blizzard, which it seems like was entirely for the WoW and CoD IPs, and now they’re shutting other studios they scooped up with Bethesda which was purchased for the Fallout and Elder Scrolls IP.

They’re trying to score exclusive IPs for the next gen to get people stuck in their ecosystem.

They do. There are plenty of indie Devs.

The reason why everyone doesn’t do it is because it requires significant capital to be able to support a dev team through production for a number of years.

Not to mention they will still have to deal with publishers potentially fucking them over, as shown with the Helldivers 2 PSN fiasco.

Fall of Civilizations podcast.

Great insight it a number of civilisations that have collapsed throughout human history. Explains their rise, peak and of course collapse in great detail.
