“If conservatives become convinced that they can not win democratically, they will not abandon conservatism. They will reject democracy.”

Paid by Iran!

Wait, really? Last time I looked all the main providers had removed it, and the only ones left looked like they were hosted on a toaster.

Might have to look into that when mine comes up for renewal.

Most VPNs don’t allow that, and those that do look shady as fuck.

In any case it sounds like a reason to actually read what the oauth login screens are actually telling you…

Oh, you mean the bits in between Gwent.

It’s pretty one note. Put up shield. Roll around. Hit enemy. If shield gone, reapply. Works from the start of the game to the end. Except ghosts because you need to use your magic on showing them to make them vulnerable.

Because MS will throw any amount of losses at this to keep themselves in the game.

Plus making games deliberately incompatible with the GabeCube will be trivial if it comes to that.

Valve can throw a lot of resources behind what they’re doing, but it’s a drop in the ocean compared to what MS can spend. At the end of the day Valve can only really match current consumer pricing, and even with 16GB RAM and 8GB GPU, that isn’t cheap.

Yeah, if the Series S could have run my Steam library, I’d have got one years ago when it was cheap.

You think the average person will buy a more expensive box that doesn’t play COD, FIFA, etc?

“oh no, anyway” says man who’s country’s primary export is oil.

Probably partly down to the price of PC parts. I haven’t upgraded mine since I got a 1060.

A machine that could run PS4 titles better can be a Steam Deck. A machine that can run PS5 titles better is like £1200.

And tbh, I doubt they’re selling many PS5 Pros either. PS5 graphics are plenty good enough. They run at 60fps which is all most people were after when going from console to a PC. People obsessing over the latest all singing, all dancing raytracing are few and far between. 5090s are likely being bought for AI use.

We just want games.

They’ll arrest the jury.

I mean, yeah, they’re not allowed to do that, but since when has that stopped this regime?

This is why I always wait until my daughters are 18 before huffing their dirty undies.

Hey guys, I know you made really good remasters of classic single-player games, but can you make us something nobody on this motherfucking Earth asked for?

Oh wait, we don’t want you do do that any more.

Why aren’t you making us any money?

Well maybe, but only if they owned the infrastructure themselves.

As it stands, the price paid to renewable energy suppliers tracks the amount paid to fossil fuel suppliers.

There’s a reason every farmer wants to fill their fields with solar panels, and it’s got little to do with making electricity cheaper for the end user.

That said, there’s no reason not to do it anyway, at least if we want more than a few more hundred years of humanity. A tough ask in a time where every decision is made based on an election that happens in the next 4 years by people who won’t live another 20.

Not sure why they’d think kids are the target audience for a remake of a 29 year old game.

Surely all the kids are playing the latest mobile slop pocket money sink?

Stray pubes just add to the flavour.

Don’t threaten me with a good time

Well that’s an ominous headline if ever I saw one.

That’s not an accident.

That’s government policy.
