My favourite is when you have a friend, or known reviewer, going on about how something sucks, and you realise that it sounds right up your alley.
I specifically rented The One, because of Roger Ebert’s 1 and 1/2 star review in the newspaper, trashing Jet Li’s The One (just to totally date myself).
Just finishing up Episode 4 of the Quake remaster on nightmare difficulty. Episodes 1-3 were challenging, but my god these exploding bouncy ball “spawns” in E4 are such rage fuel.
Only 3 more levels then I move on to the expansions. First time playing those, so looking forward to it!
Speak for yourself
Check out the refurb/used market!
Fair. That’s usually the only reason I get excited for something new, because then it means the current whatever is taking to get sold off super cheap
Don’t need it. PS5 could go for a decade easy. Lfg devs, get better at using what you have.
Anything else is tech lust
Honestly it would probably be worth it as a flagship project to keep their staff engineers excited about something.
I know they earn piles and piles of money, but some people just quit when they’ve got enough cash, so you need an other sort of carrot.
I expected him to be cool, I guess
Nahh
Holy shit Gabe Newell is a billionaire (it’s just at the second paragraph). This does change my view of him and steam. So uncool.
Oh well, maybe this is the best they could do then. Would love to a big player really push the kind of hw we’re talking about, though
Yeah it’s a bit of a pipe dream, but my point was that if they reduced the complexity, increased the build quality, and made it repairable, then I would be so happy.
Nintendo are just the bunch of madlads to pull it off too. It’s not like need to worry about being profitable.
E: my mistake, forgot I was in the gearhead community :p
Good. If I had my way it would be even less performant than the Switch 1, and last for 25 years before needing replacement parts.
This is it. The real product is hype, with a tiny tiny little kernel of actual utility, that is puffed up and remixed until the hype dies away, and we have to make do with whatever’s left.*
The hype machine with generative shit went into fuckin overdrive because while yes there is a grift component, natch; unlike with blockchain, nfts, web3, etc, there is an actual visible thing that the technology can do that hasn’t been done before.
People who are used to selling nothing but vapour lost their minds when they saw it, because rightfully so, they realised how much grift they were going to be able to make off of it.
* Usually this involves a bunch of platform engineers et al de-tooling codebases and infrastructure.
Sounds like a Bethesda game to me
Thank you for putting this in a way I can understand
Whoa now save some for the rest of us
