  • Sony Pulls Back From PlayStation Games on PC

    Jump

  • That's really disappointing, I was looking forward to the Returnal sequel and that Wolverine game.

  • Apple introduces Macbook Neo - cheaper Macbooks starting at $599

    Jump

  • An iPad Air costs the same but comes with a much better M4 processor.

    Sure, but a tablet isn't a laptop.

  • Apple introduces Macbook Neo - cheaper Macbooks starting at $599

    Jump

  • Honestly I'm expecting this to take up most of the mid-range laptop market. 8gb RAM and only 256GB storage is lame, but the rest of it probably makes it really good value (especially with components getting more expensive recently).

    Unless you're buying used or refurbished, most laptops I found at ~$600 or less kinda suck. Either it has terrible specs, or uses cheap plastic, or has a terrible screen, etc.

    I don't like Apple, but hopefully this is a wake-up call for other vendors. Lower end laptops should stop being cheap garbage.

  • Damn, really? I wasn't very impressed with the trailer but I guess I might check it out... when it hits digital.

  • Event: Due Process Gamer Pool

    Jump

  • Man, I remember this. Me and my friend bought it on release and refunded it. It was lacking a lot, and the playerbase was already dead. The few people we did play with just ran forward alone and died.

  • Paramount Says It Will Release 15 Warner Bros. Movies a Year in Theaters, Reaffirms 45-Day Theatrical Window

    Jump

  • I doubt much will change honestly. Most of their movies are mediocre popcorn flicks, they will probably keep making mediocre popcorn flicks.

    I just hope Dune 3 comes out alright.

  • New IMAX Poster for Studio Ghibli's "Kiki's Delivery Service"

    Jump

  • Lovely poster, a perfect example that less is more. Even if I didn't know what this movie is I'd probably be interested seeing it randomly.

  • Nintendo Announces Indie World Showcase for Tomorrow

    Jump

  • I am once again asking for a release date on Mina the Hollower. It was supposed to release last Halloween but got delayed, I'm really looking forward to it.

  • Nintendo Announces Indie World Showcase for Tomorrow

    Jump

  • Nintendo has been doing indie showcases for years now, they're pretty well received by devs and players from what I understand.

  • I started replaying Demon's Souls for the first time in ~13 years

    Jump

  • I got it when it hit europe, I think 1 year later. Also blew my mind. It's fun to think back of the time when nobody knew what Dark Souls was, and this game had a lot of haters for being so difficult and having no easy mode.

    Jump

  • It’s is not like, comepletely awful but felt very… yassified ?

    Yeah, I saw the remake online as soon as it landed. Bluepoint took a lot of liberties with the feel and design of the game, it feels a lot more "generic western fantasy" than the original. Some enemy designs were watered down, the vibe of some areas changed, and as you say it's not terrible but they definitely didn't put much care into it.

    Still can't get over that they made the nexus dark green and orange. This was supposed to be a peaceful magical place, and someone there decided to make it look evil. Bleh...

    Still, I wanted to play it, but oh well. The PS3 version is still great!

  • Sony’s Bluepoint Pitched ‘Bloodborne’ Remake Before Closure, Fromsoftware Refused

    Jump

  • I'm totally keeping my eye on the emulator, but from what I heard it still needs more time. I've heard of occasional crashes, vertex explosions, random graphical issues happening. Also, it needs a really good computer to run at 60fps.

    I'm excited for when it does work flawlessly, but I do wish they'd just port a native version to PC.

  • Sony’s Bluepoint Pitched ‘Bloodborne’ Remake Before Closure, Fromsoftware Refused

    Jump

  • It really doesn't need a remake, it just needs a port to modern systems, upscaled textures, and bumped up to 60fps. It doesn't need anything else, and it's weird that Fromsoft hasn't bothered to do any of that.

    It makes sense that they wouldn't want Bluepoint to do a full remake too because they took a lot of weird liberties in Demon's Souls IMO. They're 10/10 technically but they changed things that didn't need to be changed and refused to touch things that everybody wanted changed (why is the gargoyle's AI still broken...)

  • Pokémon Winds and Waves announced, releasing 2027

    Jump

  • Borderline broken on release, terrible framerate & graphics on Switch 1. Did you play them on Switch 2 by any chance?

  • Pokémon Winds and Waves announced, releasing 2027

    Jump

  • Huh, so they're actually going to wait a year. I honestly expected them to push a Pokemon game ASAP for the Switch 2, but I guess it's better that they take their time than release a mess like Scarlet & Violet.

  • Mortal Kombat II | Official Trailer II

    Jump

  • The first one was really mediocre, so I don't have that high hopes for this one. Also, yeah, the slow-down epic music on a Mortal Kombat trailer is so dumb.

  • Discord cuts ties with Peter Thiel-backed verification software after its code was found tied to US surveillance efforts

    Jump

  • Matrix is lacking all sorts of features and proper UX. I used it through multiple front-ends and every time it's just not good enough yet.

  • A nothingburger apology that follows the same patterns every company does

    1. Introduce outrageous thing

    2. Apologize

    3. delay outrageous thing by a few months and hope people forgot about it, then do it again

  • Teamspeak requires you to pay for a license to host a community of greater than 32 people though. I have much more faith in Fluxer, which just came out recently and has its servers getting hammered right now. It will have true self-hosting and federation. Also it looks exactly like Discord which probably makes moving to it easier.
