Try liking sonic the hedgehog games. The characters are all children but the fandom does not care.

I’d argue that xcloud and gamepass are equally disruptive to the industry. In either case you don’t own the games and they are tied to a subscription. Whether the game is running locally or in remote hardware doesn’t change how it impacts development and sales of games.
Cloud based gaming is not going to replace owning hardware unless they can ensure sub 20ms response time for every and I don’t belive that target is feasible but either case is bad for gaming as a whole. Games with 100 million dollar budgets are never going to see a positive ROI on services like gamepass and are reliant on gamers being willing to pay full price at launch.
My point is that Gamepass and similar services will kill AAA games if they become the primary way people access games and that is something that is best avoided. Games need a 6-12 month buffer to hit sales targets before they are considered for subscription services, otherwise the entire business model will fall flat on its face and take gaming with it.
MS surprise launched hifi rush with zero marketing, put it on gamepass day 1 then complains it didn’t meets ales expectations and shuts down the studio that made it. Now, 48 hours later, they are saying they need more games like that.
It may not be directly referenced in the article but cloud gaming was absolutely a part of what led to the closure of tango gameworks.
I usually don’t care much for streamers but Wirtual is amazing. He’s a talented player in his own right but also does a great job explaining the nuts and bolts of the game. I’m still a mediocre trackmania player (odd since I am usually very good at racing games) but his videos have taught me a lot.
Nope, I have my cake and eat it too. What of it?
I love star trek but 10 forward generates so much content that it becomes noise on the main feed. I’m also guilty of not contributing much though.
To be fair, it hurts when they nip you.
Replayed it last year and it was as good as I remembered. Windwaker is my personal favourite but LTTP is so close it might as well be a tie.
Hangon, shinobi and rampage were what I played the most.
Canada - a tossup between cinnamon toast crunch and whatever granola I can get my hands on.
Seth Rogan but he’s a craft beer snob instead of a pot head.

Sometimes my wife likes to steamlink my desktop on the tv. In that case I hit my kvm button to switch over to my deck and use it as a backup desktop.
I’ve worked in print since 2001. The last time I saw a zip disk was probably the same year you started college.
I just finished cyberpunk and if nier can top that story then I’m sold. I also already own the game so might as well give it a go.
The boondocks.
Everything else I was going to mention has already been posted. On the other hand, I just added 14tb to my server and will have to save this post.
Hey, Israel has every right to defend themselves from starving children lined up for food. You must be one of those antisemitic people I’ve been hearing about.

Can’t afford 3 meals a day? Call it intermittent fasting. Can’t live off what you earn? Poly employment. What other awful reality can we rebrand?
