Lazlow, Dan Houser, and the rest of the old creative team at Rockstar are no longer with the company.

GTA6 is gonna sell like mad regardless, but unlike the last several Rockstar blockbusters I’m waiting to see if it’s good before giving them any money.

I actually also have a Razr+. My employer pays me a stipend to have a second phone so thay when I eventually leave I don’t have a bunch of contractors calling my personal number.

I just realized my Z-fold with controller case could make a truly excellent DS emulator.

Anyone know if there’s an emulator out there that supports folding phones in landscape mode as a DS, similar to the way YouTube will split the video and the controls when partway folded in landscape more?

And that last bit is wild because the one that doesn’t require Windows for PC gamers is the one owned by Microsoft.

Gaming on Linux is like gaming on Windows 20 years ago when you spent more time just trying to get the fucking game to run than actually playing the game.

I got an error trying to launch a BF2 expansion that told me to contact the nearest rendering developer.

Lots of single-use plastics are years old by the time they make it to the end user.

The logistics of a plastic that degrades that quickly are difficult.

I do like Inkscape a lot, but GIMP simply isn’t a viable alternative for photoshop for most users. The interface is horrid and the capabilities are limited. Adobe knew what they were doing with their strategic buyouts of developers.

Google is ending AOSP support and has announced they’re gonna stop allowing sideloading.

For the benefit of the underprivileged?

The city I work in installed Flock cameras. City Council was clear they were only to be used to flag license plates for active felony warrants, silver alerts, and Amber alerts.

In less than 48 hours they were using them to give out tickets and track people who had turned in Open Records requests regarding the police department.

When the butchers at a single Walmart store in Texas formed a union, Walmart retaliated by firing every butcher nationwide and switching to only pre-packed meats for all stores.

They’ll put themselves through a lot to make sure the peons don’t get too uppity.

Mods - please ban this

The franchise basically created the microtransaction.

As much flak as Oblivion got for horse armor, the Sims did it first.

Careful now, they’re about to classify criticism of capitalism terrorism.

343 is remastering Halo 1 again?

We won’t save your private information. But the third party services - some of which are owned by the same parent company as us - absolutely will.

As much hate as they get for their recent Apple-like behavior, Bambu is kinda the king of “it just works” right now. An A1 or A1 mini offer spectacular performance for the price for people who want to just start printing stuff.

If you want something enclosed for printing more advanced materials, however, there is more competition on the pricing front.

Their console strategy is squarely aimed at Gamepass, which is a good deal for many gamers even with Steam. My ROG Ally has both Xbox and Steam games on it, and I probably do split time between them 50/50.

My series S shit the bed literally yesterday.

Something I’ve kinda come to accept about Gearbox is that Pitchford is an ass and sometimes they farm out products when they shouldn’t (ACM bring the biggest example), but most of the devs actually working on the games really do care about the product and want it to be good.
