I have a couple thousand hours of play on Slay the Spire on my iPad. It’s such a perfect game for mobile. I play it on the plane, at night on work trips, been playing it again on vacation this week. Just a fantastic grab-it-and-go gaming experience.

Who would you want to make decisions for you when you die then? Keeping in mind saying no is still a decision.

Xbox has backwards compatibility for games all the way back to the original Xbox. Not only is there backwards compatibility, but pretty much all those old games also get HDR support and some of the big ones like Red Dead Redemption and Mass Effect also got 4k textures for 10+ year old games, free of charge (don’t have to buy a remaster, etc)

I never liked it in North America when I tried it for these reasons.

But then I had it in the south of France, and holy crap it was almost life-changing. I had ordered a meat dish as well and all I wanted to eat was the ratatouille! I can see why this dish is popular there, as it really depends on having high quality vegetables to make the dish sing.

I think of it like a a good steak. If your steak quality is poor, it will not be good on its own and should be used with additional sauces and flavours.

How much data left is there to sell about me? Pretty sure they know pretty much everything about us already.

My surfing habits change a little, but it’s mostly cyclical.

Hell no, I’m convinced JVG actually hates basketball. All he does is complain and bring negativity to every game. Dude is just a bitter old man at this point.

If it’s a quality show, I’m down for it. It’s only an issue if it’s low quality. We could have stopped a while back and never got Andor, but I’m damn glad we got it.

Hopefully Lando will be good as well.

Even Microsoft agrees they’d prefer to do it by producing competitive games, which isn’t in question here though. The dispute is whether this gives Microsoft an anti-competitive monopoly.

Even though mergers of this size aren’t good for gamers, it doesn’t even put Microsoft anywhere near equal footing with Sony, never mind giving Microsoft a monopoly.

Because Sony is so far ahead in the console battle that it’s important they have competition (Nintendo is not competition).

There’s a push and pull here in terms of exclusives being bad but also having Sony becoming a monopoly / having no completion would also be bad.

I would also guess the people doing preorders comparatively aren’t the ones who are the harshest critics of the game and are more likely to enjoy the experience.

The caveat being that this would not be true if the game is a buggy mess that isn’t uncommon on launch these days.

Thank you for posting all this contents whoop!

Great news! And agree, Mark Jackson needs to go as well. Those two had me muting my tv to be able to watch games.
