Be it PlayStation, Xbox, or Nintendo, the right-most face button is the only one that is not X on any of them.

I hope broader international recognition of Palestine helps spur more recognition of Kurdistan.

We put Kalashnikov on Sergey’s rowboat, Ukraine cowers before invincible Russian engineering!

Also rebranded as “Live. Die. Repeat.” for some reason. I guess the studio didn’t think the title “Edge of Tomorrow” sold the premise well enough.

Hard to compete when the government heavily subsidizes the local industry while simultaneously making it very difficult for foreign companies to operate.

Amazing progress. Hopefully the rest of Asia can follow suit in short order.

I met a number of LGBTQ+ folks in China who were wonderful, honest people, but most of them were afraid to publicly display or talk about their sexuality/gender identities due to the risk of social/legal reprisal, given the deteriorating state of policies towards LGBTQ+ rights in recent years.

While other countries in East/Southeast Asia have begun to open up to the idea of same-sex marriage like Taiwan in 2019 and now Thailand, a lot in China see this as a symptom of growing westernization to be opposed. Logic being that if the westernized countries who we don’t like start to embrace the idea, we should reject it. And unfortunately a lot of Asia follows China’s lead in particular.

Fair, but not-shitty companies eventually become shitty companies in almost every circumstance. I hate making the argument that someone is fine because they only hurt a few people compared to the guy who hurts lots.

Well, it’s not siding with Microsoft, it is Microsoft. This is a Microsoft game.

I suppose this scenario is actually somewhat reassuring, because the guy who killed 12 people deserves whatever misfortune falls upon him. You wouldn’t have to feel bad stealing his knowledge and memories, and could also go to the local guards to turn him in with the knowledge you’ve obtained.

Though good luck sleeping at night with the knowledge of what it felt like to murder 12 people with your own hands and see the life fade from their eyes.

Companies are never your friend.

Valve is like any other company. They’re as good as your money is good.

Is that in American dollars?

If those 300 games were even US $70 each which is exceedingly generous, you’d only scratch $21,000 as the cost of everything. Unless Steam was literally giving you $180,000+ for using their store, you’ve not saved hundreds of thousands.

Unless you’re referring to hundreds of thousands of pennies.

Not great if you are also trying to de-Google, though.

If they offered you 20,000 more than what you expected, might be you are underselling your actual worth and could have negotiated for more.

I bet I’ve played a lot more of them than you have.

It took me a while to realize that I wasn’t having fun with Skyrim, and I thought it wasn’t as good as Oblivion. The games weren’t getting any better, just prettier. The writing and worldbuilding was getting objectively worse, too.

Morrowind is the only one I keep going back to, it’s the only one that has some semblance of soul.

isles excited to write a comment about Kotaku being excited to write a story about Ubisoft being excited to let you know Prince of Persia Remake is Still Years Away.

Not pay the thugs?

You’re probably not missing much. Morrowind is the last good Elder Scrolls game they ever made. But that has also been PC/Xbox exclusive since 2002 so may as well write the series off completely.

Whaaat? The US willing to stop supporting Israel? That is simply too big an ask.

Next you’ll tell me that the capitalists will voluntarily surrender the means of production to the working class.
