Absolute trash source.

No Silksong in the top 20

ITT: people huffing unhealthy amounts of copium

I’ve been told I’ve been grandfathered into legacy pricing on multiple occasions by multiple companies only to have every single one of them force me off old pricing.

Was that in the US or Europe?

Circana Research data for 2025Q2. It’d be hard to get to the top of all-time sales given that Microsoft started releasing their stuff on PlayStation very recently.

Ultimate was $20. Still an enormous price hike.

Xbox Studio Games are responsible for most of the current top 10 best selling games on PlayStation. They don’t have that much interesting stuff in the pipeline though.

It was the only incentive for most people.

The most baffling thing is not the price hike - it’s the price hike combined Xbox Game Studios release roadmap looking barren compared to the last 2 years. What is this $30 supposed to pay for? Severance packages?

There’s Kodi in WebOS brew appstore. I’ve only ever used Kodi for offline media libraries but as far as I know there’s plenty of third party Kodi addons for this kind of piracy.

You’re not able to refute that you eat poop for breakfast. Goodbye.

Go culture war somewhere else please.

You might try to keep track of every new release but you’ll never be able to listen to everything coming from local bands that haven’t managed to make a bigger splash even if they objectively deserve it.

I’m hyperbolising of course with the numbers. It’s a problem in loads of forms of media these days and if you happen to consume couple of different kinds of media / genres then trying to do that means you’ll get swept by never ending tides and discoverability is just part of the problem. We no longer have bandwidth to consume everything that’s worth consuming.

This isn’t some neoliberal conspiracy. Jason Schreier is a respected journalist and given his track record so far there’s no reason for this kind of silly accusations.

There are hundreds of Masters of Puppets daily probably but it’s hard to tell because so much stuff is coming out, which is an issue when we want artists to be able to afford food. At this point I think civilised countries should be exploring how to fund video games like we fund other forms of art.

In other company shakeups, Satoru Shibata will assume the role of chief executive officer while continuing as managing executive officer and corporate director at Nintendo Co., Ltd. Pritchard will also join the Nintendo of America Board of Directors and serve as an executive officer at the parent company.

HL: Alyx had a native port, it’s Proton only now. Is CS2 or Deadlock native or Proton?

I’m not aware of any new Valve HL1 remasters and Black Mesa was an indie effort. Similarly TF2 is being ported to ARM Macs by indie teams now that source code is available and Valve couldn’t be bothered.

Steam on Linux provides a fixed target set of libraries because it’s kind of hard to release native games on Linux (you have to include a crapload of libraries you expect to be installed otherwise, which Steam solves).

Larian is essentially styling now. Even Valve doesn’t release native ports anymore and went as far as removing some in favour of Proton versions.

I’ve looked into this back in the day and once you factor in price of the adapter it comes to a similar cost and looks really clunky. Even though looks don’t matter because it’s at the rear, I’d be worried I’d break it because it protrudes so much.

PS5 originally launched with 825GB drives and Slim increased that to 1TB - they’re reverting that change now.

I tried to search as wall and came up empty - sorry! My best guess for this brainfart is that Valve dropped support for 32-bit on Mac relatively recently and that was after Mac client has been 64-bit for quite some time.

IIRC this has been announced as well couple of months ago.
