Essentially (assuming that project moves forward) but the shinkansen lines in Japan have higher speeds than that.

Same with Oreos. “Double Stuff” is what the regular ones used to have.

Canada could also benefit from a shinkansen line or two. With population centers mostly along a straight line in the south, it would allow for rapid transit between major cities on dedicated passenger rail.

You know, that is a fair take. It’s easy to pass judgment, but less easy to trust that everyone else would pass the same judgment on the same people you do.

They only looked good a few years ago because Microsoft was racing them to the bottom with the early Xbox One drama.

If you were lucky. That game was barely playable on the Xbox 360.

That’s ridiculous. Especially with the cost of consoles nowadays, and the fact that we’re about to be locked into a no-disc ecosystem. And on top of that, that new consoles are going to be announced in a year or two anyways.

Rockstar is using the same strategy as GTA5. Push the financially irresponsible to buy a console for 1 game. Then push the even more irresponsible to upgrade to a next-gen console for a better port of 1 game. Then release the PC version last, hoping that anyone running on the treadmill for best experience will end up triple dipping.

It would. I initially had this post pointing to a Streamable link during the exclusivity window, but it was removed for Rule 6. Not sure how that rule interacts with alternate YouTube frontends like Invidious, but I’m not going to press my luck.

If anyone wants an unauthorized stream that bypasses YouTube and Netflix, they’re not hard to find with a simple web search. If that’s too much effort, you’re not missing much anyways.

Probably because none of those “malware in disguise” listings are popular enough to be a threat to their bottom line.

I guess in that game’s case, it was developed at a satellite studio who thought their spaghetti western game needed spaghetti code to match.

The patient gamer strategy has always paid off for me, and I have to recommend it to everyone else.

One of the games I finished most recently was Cyberpunk 2077. Great game worth playing today, not so great at launch. And on the CD Projekt topic, The Witcher 3 has also been on my to-do list for ages, and guess what’s getting a remaster in a few more weeks?

There are too many games out there to play in one lifetime. When most games seem to be in their worst state at launch, why rush to buy when there’s so much else out there to try while you wait?

For a console game, I’m there with you. But sadly we lost that war long ago on PC.

I will still recommend people wait. Wait for reviews, wait for initial audience impressions, and wait to play it on your platform of choice.

What I see is a game that has a lot of detail and some big cinematic moments that make for a good trailer. But whether all that detail translates into a genuinely fun experience remains to be seen.

For all we know, the rest of the game outside of the trailers could be nothing but ET trying to jump out of holes.

I mean, what else is this community for, really?

Quite possibly. The other side of the coin though is that I’m sure Netflix wanted the deal to pull in new subscribers, so if options to watch it elsewhere prevent that from happening, that could still be a win.

Maybe the game itself is the parody. Like when Jeremy Strong’s character in Succession thinks he’s gangster because he listens to rap music and does drugs sometimes. But he’s still just an insecure, corporate manchild.

Sounds good, but what do you plan on doing in the game?

I wouldn’t even say alleged, it was very blatant. An employment tribunal has already ruled against them and the case goes to full trial next month.

The game won’t run without an armed agent pointing a gun at your head who will pull the trigger if you ever start enjoying it the wrong way.

Cute thinking you’ll get to retire in 20 years when you sink all your savings on hardware.
