Maybe there are better examples, but Google famously removed JPEG-XL support from Chrome despite there being a huge demand for it and other browsers preparing to support it.

LBP 3 was a major disappointment since it was made by a different dev team but… Removing it entirely? Why? Licensing issues?

With LittleBigPlanet 3 gone and 1-2 stuck in PS3, that means you can’t even play the franchise anymore. Wow. That sucks.

It’s still wild to me people are continuing to break records in classic Tetris. You’d think they’ve reached the peak long ago, but they somehow continue to impress!

This reads like an ad. They claim to use 1000 times less data than proprietary models, except nobody knows how much data they use or how big proprietary models actually are. Also there’s a giant asterisk here they fail to mention: Molmo outperforms the competition at visual benchmarks, not actual text chat.

Personally I never reached a point where I had to use any kind of storage software. All you need is a good external storage and a little bit of organization.

If anyone is serious about data storage I would honestly choose external SSDs or an enclosure that supports SSDs. I’ve had terrible experiences with hard drives failing over the years or clicking and corrupting my data.

I mean, it will have those once the game is officially released.

Because it’s Avant-garde or something. I have no idea what’s going on at Hollywood these days.

The discourse around Joker 2 is hilarious. Apparently the plot is so abysmal to the point where (spoilers)

That 3% could be a rounding error, “most” implies a much bigger difference, the title should say that half gamers prefer singleplayer games.

Saw this article before and the title is very misleading. 53% is barely “most”, and the biggest takeaway from it is that gamers age 16-24 greatly prefer multiplayer games while people aged 25-34 prefer multiplayer as much as singleplayer. Those age groups are probably most of the market.

Give it a year and I bet you could buy it at around $20. [email protected].

Nice to see good reviews after the bad first impression of the gameplay they showed. Maybe I will pick this up after all

We’re approaching a cool cyberpunk future but can’t even get wet streets with reflective purple neon signs 😔

It’s not currently down, it seems to be deleted entirely. This was said on the Discord:

“Yesterday, gdkchan was contacted by Nintendo and offered an agreement to stop working on the project, remove the organization and all related assets he’s in control of. While awaiting confirmation on whether he would take this agreement, the organization has been removed, so I think it’s safe to say what the outcome is. Rather than leave you with only panic and speculation, I decided to write this short message to give some closure.

These words are my own. I don’t want to speak for anyone else here, so just remember that while reading.

Thank you to @everyone who has contributed code, documentation or issue reports to the project. Thank you all for following us throughout the development. I was able to learn a lot of really neat things about games that I love, enjoy them with renewed qualities and in unique circumstances, and I’m sure you all have experiences that are similarly special. I’m extending my own massive thanks to our moderation team, who have been here through some rough circumstances and always found ways to make light of it.”

They’re just not as popular as they used to be, and there are so many players on console nowadays. I can’t imagine playing an RTS with a controller.

Age of Empires seems to be doing really well though. The first 3 games got great remasters, and AoE 4 is well received from what I understand.

With his novel series starting and the Bumper Book of Magic finally about to drop it

He’s still writing? I thought he retired a few weeks back.

Not every movie has to be a blockbuster, but it is very apparent that mid-scale movies have disappeared from the market. Usually now a movie is a 100+ million dollar behemoth that wants to take the entire box office, or a movie is a low budget straight to Netflix special that has a 5/10 average rating and nobody wants to talk about it.

All things considered, $20m isn’t bad considering the series is at an all time low. The 2019 bombed hard and I can see why people are hesitant to invest in Hellboy after that. Godzilla Minus One had a ~$15M budget and that movie was very ambitious and well-done I think.

I don’t know if there’s a source specifically for this but when I often get stuck and start repeating myself I look up Merriam Webster’s thesaurus and start replacing boring words with better ones.

So rather than say something like awesome I’d say a word like marvelous, lovely, etc.

This reminds me, I should really go watch The Northman. I watched and enjoyed The Witch & The Lighthouse but haven’t gotten around to the third one.

Yeah there’s a reason there hasn’t been much interested in Xbone emulation, almost everything worth emulating has gotten PC ports over the years or is also on PS3 which does have a good emulator. Maybe if Sunset Overdrive was still a console exclusive I’d bother, but I guess this is cool for some peeps.
