Ok, but all you have to do is click on the “I have disabled my ad blocker” to get to the article.

Oh trust, I’m complete aware of how badly Sony has been effing it up, so much that I’ve gone from being a strictly PS console gamer to a PC gamer.

I’ve heard it described as wide as an ocean but deep as a puddle.

And the capital G Gamers seem to be more bothered by pronouns, body types, female leaders, all the “replaced white people”, etc. lol

Capital G Gamers were a mistake.

RAM feels like it’s the one thing they really shouldn’t have skimped out on, because that’s the one that’s going to affect longevity the most.

I watched a YouTube video where the guy played Cyberpunk on a PS4 from disc with no patches installed. It was as bad as you think.

Thing is, it could’ve been ok if they’d put more RAM in it. It’s got less RAM than the One, which is what’s going to hurt it long term.

Japan. Nintendo got it passed into law years ago that game’s can’t be rented, because of supposed piracy concerns. But you can go to any video rental place and borrow all the music CDs you could want, because we all know how much more difficult it is to make mp3s from a CD than copy a game.

You all hate discs until you have a library that you can rent games for free close to you.

It’s actually illegal where I live to rent out games. Thanks, Nintendo! (/^^)/⌒●~*

So they’ll most likely decide to completely remove features from the Xbox releases rather than try to get them to work on S, which will lead to worse gaming options on the Xbox. Which Sony will absolutely love.

Thing is, it didn’t ultimately have to release on series S. Larian could very well have decided it was too much work to get it to work, and Microsoft didn’t want Xbox left out of such a big release. I think as the generation goes on, you’re going to see a lot more devs and studios deciding or not worth all the extra cost to try to get a have running on S for an Xbox release, or games will get nerfed from the early development stage, unless Microsoft lighten up on their parity requirements.

Just click on the “I have disabled my ad blocker” and you can see the article just fine. It doesn’t check.

I was cracking up at him starting out with the “FUCKING PRONOUNS” dude. A++ choice 🤣

That writer woke up and chose violence, and I approve.

I just checked that gaming news Mastodon account I follow, and of the 20 most recent posts, 19 of them were guides.

Even the Banshees? That’s the one enemy that usually still makes people start cussing.

This article made a damn good point about how much gaming websites depend on guides now. It hasn’t really clicked until now with me. I follow a bot on Mastodon that posts new articles from a bunch of different gaming sites, and it seems like half of them are for guides and walkthroughs. That’s where they get their ad bucks from, so that and SEO are the big focus.

They’re also playing the games on their laptop for some reason, which is certainly an interesting choice for two of the biggest games of the year.

They might not actually have a choice about playing on a laptop if they normally play on a PS5. Baldur’s Gate isn’t out on PS5 yet and Starfield is Xbox/PC exclusive.

It’s a touch trickier to upgrade a laptop, which the writer is talking about.

Please block me. I’d block you (actually, I will anyway), but blocking on kbin is busted and means you would still see and be able to comment on my posts. Hopefully they’ll fix that.
