perhaps surprisingly "tech4gamers" misread the original sourcing and are wildly misrepresenting what it says.

Yeah, I think the anodization or whatever there wasn’t super effective in the initial manufacture run.

Anyway everybody wants to think that every game can be good eventually and that they’re the ship of Theseus but some games aren’t good enough in a competitive market and no amount of patches are going to get them there. A live service game in a crowded genre is an all-in bet.

Typo but fuck it (iOS is really killing me with this shit lately)

I don’t feel pleasure in saying it but there was no cost effective amount of time that would have gotten highgaurd to the point where it would find an audience. If tencent failed, it’s in letting the game get to where it did without intervention.

Today is International Sex Workers’ Rights Day, a time to support and uplift sex workers everywhereβ€”and a particularly good day to throw some money to the United Brothel Workers in Nevada who were illegally terminated after their historic union drive with CWA went public! β˜‚οΈ

microcenter has some really compelling bundle deals right now, but GPUs are fucking thunderdome currently.

today is yet another example of the premise that the stock market can't be trusted to react in a rational way to destabilizing world events when it's being powered by a generation of gambling addicts "buying on the dip."

also deborah ann woll was so underutilized in those games, it would be interesting to see her really get to eat there.

Sony’s Bluepoint Pitched β€˜Bloodborne’ Remake Before Closure The inside story of why PlayStation closed its beloved subsidiary

the subtext here is that playstation studios are operating as insular fiefdoms that don't want to allow other teams to work on their stuff out of an apparent fear of looking less indispensable (see also: naughty dog with the fireflies MP project and the TLOU remake) www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

Man I cannot recommend enough doing things that prevent you from looking at social media for at least a couple of hours at a stretch.
