I remember being laughed at when I admitted I still buy CDs, DVDs, or BluRays a few years ago.

…yet!

E:D has the basics of a good game, but never builds upon them. FDev is deathly afraid of player agency. They want you to play like it’s on rails in a single player game, but have it an “MMO” for the PVP.

Yes, but the bulk of the dev team is working on The Witcher 4.

Just like when Christopher Tolkien died. No one else was left to be passionate about his father’s vision and desires.

Looks a lot like Palia. Can’t wait to play it.

When I was a broke teenager I pirated games. But back then there wasn’t any online play (80s).

Now I primarily pirate movies and TV shows. And most of that is ripping DVDs and Blu-ray discs, which I still buy when I really like something. Then supplement with torrents.

But I’ve never debated the ethics. Was it Thoreau that said something that the effect of, if you engage in civil disobedience, even against unjust laws, you must be ready to accept the consequences.

For the NHL and MLB you’re just fucked. Those leagues completely failed negotiations. Maybe Amazon picking up a big chunk of Bally’s will get us our teams on Prime. Maybe.

In general, all the major sports leagues (except maybe Premier League) are firmly stuck in the past and view cable as great. Maybe we’ll see some better options when each league re-negotiates the TV deals. But even when that happens, expect the NHL to fuck it up somehow.

That was it, thanks!

The question was already answered, so I thought I’d be funny.

They are just talking about it. Going to still be years before they go 1.0. They still haven’t delivered Alpha 4.0 yet. In fact, I believe they are talking 1.0 to distract us from the fact they haven’t delivered alpha 4.0. Likely their server meshing tests uncovered complicated bugs that will take time to deal with.

And thanks!

Yes. If you know, you know. :-p

When I looked, I needed a code form a current member to join. So I’m out of luck, and the website said if you can’t get the code, then just get it from the usual sites.

Thanks. I believe I have the no DNR version. Wasn’t sure what DNR meant, so now I know.

So do I. But it is a term from Gen Z to piss off Gen X.

I bought the SIHOO Doro C300 a couple of months ago, and I love it.

Meh, this is something that is hitting all industries, not just games. The raising of interest rates to combat inflation is making it more expensive to borrow money. The car industry is on the verge of calamity because they’ve priced cars too expensive to go with the new borrowing rates. Dealers (new and used) can’t lower their costs because they bought cars under the old interest rates and now can’t move them because borrowing got more expensive. Lowering prices too much more means taking a loss. It is hitting every industry. At some point the idiots out there have to realize that 3% inflation isn’t the boogeyman they think it is.

The tech industry is the ultimate sheep following sheep industry. Other tech companies laying people off? I better do it too! The Fear-Of-Looking-Stupid.
