Crazy. The benchmark for age ratings should be based in the game design, not solely aesthetics. Balatro doesn’t tell you to enter your credit card details and use psychologically manipulative tactics to maximise player spend, like other games good for ages 3+.

Of course, then PEGI would need to do some actual research into the games they’re rating.

Yes

That was really interesting.

I’ve got to admit that I felt that elation/rush that they felt when finishing off that guy on the field.

Horrible that the Russian is probably just a normal guy, but they are the invading force attacking a sovereign nation.

It’s an indication to the industry about how successful their IP has been.

Companies live and die because of sales, and to know how much something has sold is usually a pretty good indication that we will see more of it, or not.

SkillUp alleged that apparently the devs giving Troy Baker VA direction told him to sound a little less like Ford, potentially for copyright reasons.

Maybe! There’s much bigger spaces in this one, more assets to load etc. Recommended specs are an RTX 2060 for 1080p 30fps low settings. I would say the steam deck sits around there?

Oh man I’m very impressed with it. First “console” in many years that I’ve been really really happy with.

It’s surprisingly capable hardware. Doom External was running at solid 60FPS on medium or high settings (can’t remember) for me. Sure, it’s a very well optimised game, but it’s a real looker too.

I don’t think it will run very well there, we can have hope though

Why can I hear this meme

Ikr, I suppose it can be just a couple of salty people to push you into the negative

A fine specimen

No idea, I don’t block people either. I do identify them with a tag if I read something interesting or peculiar from them.

A few key Sony exclusives came out on the PS4, but overall in the industry third party games were hitting pretty hard (e.g. Sekiro, Bloodborne, Doom 2016, many indie games) that I consider part of the generation.

There’s an argument that the PS4 generation was pretty great too, but Xbox had their last good console with the 360.

Certainly, we’re going to have Musk and Murdoch pushing for Dutton to get in and our dumbass populace will buy whatever those two media networks are selling as usual.

Same here. I just completed it a couple of nights ago and it was delightful. Vibes.

Nice! So vindicating when that happens.

All I can say is that you’ll need them within 6 - 12 months of getting rid of them.

My Dad’s a carpenter and growing up this essentially describes our backyard. So much timber that gets left over at the end of the job that he’d grab for a carton of beer. So much of it soaked and white-ant ridden.
