As someone who is absolute fucking dogshit at fighting games and hates the shit out of them and never plays them, I found this video that does a brilliant job explaining rollback netcode with excellent visual aids. It’s the one I default to sending whenever someone asks what it is. Wonderful little bit of…
I understand the high pricing of a lot of luxury automatic watches, but I just do not understand paying that much for a smart watch. There is just not enough longevity in the product to justify it, and unlike complex automatic watch movements, it doesn’t involve hours upon hours of meticulous hand assembly. There’s an… Read more
Tuesdays are just bad days to visit the Playstation Store. Better to wait til Wednesday, when all of the bugs are gone and the new deals are on display. Read more
I think it’s great that vaccinated people are able to get together with friends and go to stores and such. I’ve been enjoying it myself. But there’s a large difference in risk between those things and attending a huge, crowded, indoor convention. That’s nearly the perfect environment for this disease to spread. By the… Read more
“I get a little bit frustrated at still being hit over the head with this one. The point I was trying to make is that new games rule, old games drool, and backwards compatibility is for chumps. It ain’t happening.”

I, for one, salute the journalistic efforts of Some Guy from Axios. He is a clear asset to any media company that employs him.

I’ll continue to shout this to the heavens: Andromeda is a good game! But it VERY OBVIOUSLY got rushed, and a lot of story elements just didn’t get to breathe, and it DEFINITELY had way too much filler Read more
Was thinking about the ME remaster last night, as I’m almost done with 1. I kinda respect the fact that, while they smoothed some of the rough edges, they didn’t remake the game and left it’s existing flaws in place. It’s a good reminder of how far console RPGs have come since then. As far as I can tell, I still can’t… Read more
Switch? This I gotta see. Read more
Glad to know publishers have no shame, because this is a franchise that I would’ve sunset this series long ago as a matter of principle. I did sucker myself into getting the crysis remaster, and it’s just amazing how poorly it aged. You walk too slow, you run too fast, and despite having an advanced stealth suit,… Read more
It really does feel like games changed a lot more in the first decade of the aughts than the second decade. I find Skyrim way more accessible today than I found Morrowind in 2011, for example. Games keep looking and playing* better as the years go one, but I kind of feel like they effectively ‘cracked the code’ for… Read more
I was under the impression the plot is a retelling of the split between the Greek gods and the Titans, no? i.e. the war between the Sentients and Severed in which the former are destroyed and the latter rule? We assume Greek gods are guys in togas and bronze armor, but the game implies the gods are basically monsters.… Read more
Bought it because I liked the concept. Wish I hadn’t.
Right now it’s pretty singular. There’s no variant game-types, so the gameplay and games get extremely same-sy.
Lopsided matches are a plenty, especially if one team uses mics over another. There’s also no limit on characters, you can have 3 robins on your team. Good… Read more
some much needed QoL improvements to an already awesome feature. it will be interesting to see how it evolves as well. it would not surprise me if it eventually includes something similar to Sony’s card system for games on playstation but with the added bonus of being able to do it with up to 6 different games. (of… Read more
