Musk is a chode, but it isn't the EU who is on the hook for that $44 billion boondoggle. Let him do what he wants and hope Twitter finally implodes.

14 was nearly exactly the same as 13 - is it any wonder why it sold like crap (by Apple's standards)? They'll just raise the price of the Pro models or cut out the Plus.

Still waiting on the sweet, sweet gold edition with all the DLC bundled in for $20. I can wait - I don't have time for RPGs anyway lol.

Appreciate getting a remaster (I must have ran through those games a dozen times), but... why did they "update" the character art? I thought it gave the game a lot of personality.

Oh well, I still have the old discs in my possession. I might consider giving them another go (I forgot about them lol).

Looks like it would have been tried in California. Riot got off cheap lol. Anyways, good on the plaintiffs and the (new) lawyers.

That article was written by either a non-native English speaker, a moron, or a bot. The pics of the guy's resume show what looks like Cyrillic so I'm going to assume it's a bot.

I'll pass.

I remember beating that game, like, 100 years ago. When I had time to beat games lol.

I stopped at level 34 after my friends quit and realizing that the game is just a glorified walking and boar killing simulator. The PvE questing is what killed me. I don't appreciate being sent to the same spot over and over for the same quest chain. The world and lore are also not very interesting. I wish I could comment on the PvP, but I never had the pleasure except getting ganked a few times.

Yeah, this game isn't going to last. Bezos got my cash though so it's a win for him. I'll consider my MMORPG itch thoroughly scratched.

I like the game. Lacks the charm of AoE2 though. The units and icons have that oh so modern chic generic aesthetic I see in games these days. I hope mods can improve them later.

All I know is that Google left me in a lurch after my Nexus 6p boot-looped right after the 2 year warranty (lol) I purchased. I have horrible luck with phones right after year 2:

Galaxy S3 - Sat on it at the zoo while taking a pic with wife's camera and cracked the screen.
Nexus 6P - Aforementioned boot-loop.
OnePlus 6 - Dropped the damn thing in the ocean while taking a pic (and it was my favorite).
Galaxy S10plus - Have had it for 14 months... got a lot of scratches on the top bezel for some reason... I'm also deep in the Samsung eco-system:(

That said, I find the Pixel 6 VERY intriguing, but I'd still look at Samsung and OnePlus before Google.

Hmm, these comments have my conviction wavering a little on my Activision boycott... D2 was my favorite game through high school.

Holy Computer Gaming World - I remember that game! My dad said it was this or Warcraft 2 - I chose the latter.

I nearly give zero fucks (only enough nano-fucks to comment). I haven't bought anything from Activision in 5 years.

There is no Blizzard. It's just Activision.

Sooooo close to finishing the game. It would be a good excuse to pick it up again. I wanted to finish the expansions before starting the endgame, but I didn't expect Touissaint to be so... big.

I dunno. Maybe Doom Eternal isn't the best game to show this off on. It looks good without it. It definitely looks great on Quake 2 though.

Yeah, the effects are barely noticeable in the trailer and yet the performance impact will not be. Quake II RTX was definitely enjoyable though - it got me to play through the entire game for the first time.

Oi. I couldn't get through the campaign without getting major motion sickness. I'm not in my teens anymore lol.

Last buck I gave Activision was 4-5 years ago (bought some Hearthstone card packs). Haven't looked back since. They've been making it too easy. LOL.

I literally own every Jackbox set so.

Still playing AoE2 these days. It surprisingly still has a robust multiplayer fanbase.

Doom eternal.

Seemed lighter on the former and stuck on the latter.

The quick gore kill in 2016 was a nice bonus addition.

Somehow the design by focus group thought it was a good idea to add another 665 more bullshit stuff on top of it.
And suddenly it's a requirement to make fluffy kills rather than an occasional bonus.

Utterly killed.

And where did the humongous spaceship hub come from?

Nah this was a messy turd wrapped in doom wrapping.
Happy to forget it ever existed.

And yet it sits at a 92%/89% positive rating out of 3002/98,800 votes.

Yes it must most certainly be horrible because TorTorden and a few other gripey Bluesnewsers say it is.

Steam reviews will highly rate anything that isn't a buggy mess. Nah, the game isn't fun (for me). Once I saw the flying fireball chains from Mario I was out. The game was just barely treading water with me up to that point with all the platforming. That said, I was also a little lukewarm with Doom 2016 (which is why I bought Eternal at a steep discount) which overused (or rather abused) the monster arena trope. I'll stick with classic Doom and/or Brutal Doom.
