does he even have shows any more? why bother if they weren’t going to use him again anyway?

acosmichippo ,

he has had some dickish moments but when you’re constantly talking publicly that’s pretty inevitable unless you’re a saint.

Jon Stewart Debunks GOP’s City Crime Narrative | The Daily Show ( youtu.be )

Jon Stewart is outstanding, but also this video seems like one of his better ones. Aside from gun issues specifically, part of what makes this great is his calling the for-profit media sources out for their hypocrisy and willful ignorance, and callousness to the lives of innocents including our children.

well there sure aren’t any left wing republicans.

cyberpunk was buggy but fundamentally sound. starfield is flawed in its core, no amount of bug fixing or system tweaking is going to fix it. they’d have to cut out space and planets entirely.

EA didn't have time to fuck up DAO after buying BioWare.

holy shit it has really been ten years.

acosmichippo ,

they’re about 10 years too late on this. can’t even blame the pandemic.

but then you can’t promote george clooney in all the marketing to draw people in.

hybrids might be a PART of the way, but there’s absolutely no reason they need to be the only way. For many many use cases BEVs already work better than hybrids and those cases are only going to grow in number as the charging infrastructure is built out and energy storage tech improves. Maybe there will always be fringe cases where hybrids are practical, maybe not.

What are some eras of gaming that you've stopped feeling nostalgic for? ( kbin.social )

As I've gotten older as a player, I have found myself dropping some eras of gaming that I used to be nostalgic for. One of them is the 8-bit era, the NES days. I have played some of the best that system had to offer and I will never say that system didn't have any good games....

This is when the whole “if all you find are assholes, you must be one yourself” rhetoric does not apply when it comes to multiplayer games.

it's the internet in general.

they got the IP, that's all they wanted.

also your personal subjective vision. some people legitimately can’t see the differences where others can.

not "features" per se, but consoles have a better performance-to-price ratio compared to handhelds. In the bill of materials for a handheld you're paying for a screen and battery that are unnecessary expenses if you just need a console. in a console, that money will go towards higher powered hardware to run games, and maybe some other ancillary things. Also in a console you can have a better cooling system since you're not constrained to a mobile form factor. Also in a console you can use higher power since performance is not being balanced with batter life.

if those nintendos had to build in a screen or battery they’d have even worse performance for the price.

yes, PC has some commonalities with consoles, but there are other aspects that make a PC a PC rather than a console.

This is not an arbitrary discussion, it’s a semantic discussion. these terms have non-arbitrary meanings.

i would say the wiiu is a special case console. they tried adding a screen to a typical console design and it didn’t really work. that’s why they pivoted to the switch which is much more like a portable than a console.

the vast, vast majority of consoles don’t have screens built into their controllers.

The person I was responding to was citing costs accrued for screen and battery as a reasoning for why steam deck is not a console

No, i was answering your question “what features is steam deck missing compared to consoles”.

I liked it as much as the others ASIDE from the tank missions. they leaned on the tank WAY too much. There are two or three tank battles where you will be pulling your hair out for sure. Definitely focus on upgrading the tank as much as you can because you will need all the help you can get.

acosmichippo ,

they’re right though. it has nothing to do with “defending” anyone, that’s just what AAA means.

acosmichippo ,

it's all informal marketing jargon in every industry bro. this is not a hill to die on.

if only we had some kind of wind powered boat technology.
