This makes me realize that I can’t think of hardly any videogames with a black character at the forefront.

Sure, there are black playable characters in MOBAs and MMOs, but how many story-driven games have black characters at the forefront?

The most recent one I can think of is Alan Wake 2. And Spider-Man Miles Morales. But there really are so few compared to those with white main characters. Which is sad.

They’re the baristas. Because at least they can make latte art while they scrounge for tips from the tip jar.

It’s only a first version. I’m sure with time, it’ll get even better.

People are literally only asking for the same console, a few refinements, and with better performing internals.

The form factor is excellent, if a bit flimsy. But games like TOTK and whatever next 3D Mario game comes out deserve to have better graphical fidelity than what the current switch can put out. I stopped playing TOTK because I just kept getting framerate drops.

Please give the Switch 2 more powerful internals!

And she gave that excuse as if babies don’t fling themselves all over the place, where looking away for one second could mean they fall off a table or slip underwater.

What absolutely awful negligence.

And there’s never been a worse time to be making them.

The industry keeps consolidating and there were a ton of layoffs, despite great profits.

This year was great, but sad.

It’s better than arguing with the customer.

Simple explanations like “we felt we were under X constraints” or “our engine didn’t handle the loading times as well as we had hoped” would be just fine.

Instead, they just seem to be telling the players they’re wrong for disagreeing with many of the design decisions made

I’m realizing now that this would have been super useful when I worked in Loss Prevention way back when. Wish I had known…

It’s not going to matter to the voters. They can’t see part their TVs.

And if you’re down on a planet you can, but there is no magic to be found because it’s all procedurally generated emptiness between copy-pasted points of interest.

I think the perfect example of this are the caves that show up sometimes.

First time I found one, I thought “neat, I wonder what’s in there.” So I go exploring and find out that… nothing. Nothing is in there. It’s just an empty cave. So I find a second one, hoping that was a fluke and again… nothing.

The procedurally generated content is severely lacking in a reason for even existing.Nothing is worth exploring in Starfield because there’s just nothing there.

Well, I wish I had known about devdocs sooner. Thank you!

How do you learn programming on paper to be sufficiently effective when translating the skills to the computer?

I get that it’s the same stuff, but there are very useful tools and workflows, in addition to knowing what you’re doing wrong that you can’t learn on paper.

Or am I misinterpreting what you’re saying; that you just didn’t look for resources online to cut out distractions, but programmed like normal?

I see so many people excusing Bethesda’s poor design choices and lack of content by saying mods will fix them.

That may be true, but the publisher making hundreds of millions shouldn’t be offloading their work onto the free labor of the community.

Why wouldn’t 8bitdo buy a license? There are one 3 gaming consoles, so being 3rd really makes no difference. And MS/Xbox still has a huge impact on the gaming industry.

I’m not defending the walled-garden decision, but the Xbox market is not small and this is unlikely to prevent controller manufacturers from supplying controllers to Xbox customers.

If Microsoft and Sony get into an acquisition war, Microsoft will beat Sony out each and every time.

Microsoft just has WAY more cash, they’re a much bigger company. Sony can’t afford to do that.

Man, it’s a real sign of living the privileged, easy life when someone thinks this way.

Those people try to revolt and they die. They don’t revolt and still die. What kind of choice is that?

Alphabet has half the market cap of Microsoft. Microsoft is so unbelievably big, it’s not even funny.

Microsoft would be the one buying all three of Alphabet, Bytedance, and Disney and barely scoff at it.

I would think just email. Who uses email for anything other than formal communication anymore where it would be inappropriate to use emoji reactions?

Reactions are fine for casual messaging, but email just isn’t that kind of social platform.
