“Helldivers fans – we’ve heard your feedback on the Helldivers 2 account linking update. The May 6 update, which would have required Steam and PlayStation Network account linking for new players and for current players beginning May 30, will not be moving forward....
I’m not sure about that. Whenever I’ve used my PC to stream to my TV it’s been less responsive and much slower. Unless I go for the super long hdmi cable to my gaming PC, but that’s just a faff.
I guess it varies greatly by TV though. My Samsung is super fast, but have recently had the misfortune of using a Philips which has similar functionality but is horrendously slow. I know nothing about Roku TV other than the kerfuffle about ads, but assume they are a bit shitty.
I pretty much have always had an Xbox connected to every TV I’ve had, but ever since owning a Smart TV, with the streaming apps are all there the moment you turn on the TV, why would I add an extra level of booting up, signing in and starting the app on my Xbox (which will then probably run worse and lower quality than my native TV app)?
I don’t understand. I’m telling you the TV is faster and higher quality than the Xbox. I thought we were all shitting on Roku lately, why would I but a Roku device to daisy chain it into my system?
If you buy a proper streaming device instead of an XBOX you will have an identical experience as you would just using your TV.
Got it, so I don’t need to buy a seperate streaming device.
I get where you’re coming from with the privacy aspects and whatnot, but I very much doubt that a seperate streaming box will get me a better experience than turning on my TV and having Netflix booted in 3 seconds.
I understand it might be an interesting video on Doom being the trailblazer of its genre, but you give me a simple dumb question as the title of your video and I’ll give it a snarky dumb answer every time.
It is true, every time I have opened YouTube, I have died.
I now realise this video’s existence is my one true blessing and will scoot post haste to the Patreon listed and hand over all of my worldly possessions as penance.
The problem with this in the games industry is that usually those decisionmakers are the ones with the power, but aren’t (or are barely into) games themselves.
The ones warning of backlash are often QA, and often don’t get listened to. Then when the backlash inevitably happens it’s all “we are sorry, we couldn’t have known, all the feedback was positive”.
I didn’t say it is a problem with the games industry itself (actually there are probably more people in game dev invested in a game being good than say, those working in app development), but was just pointing out how it often manifests in the industry and makes it such a common occurrence.
As a kid I imagined the future as being able to hold a TV in your pocket, and flying skateboards. For the latter I guess electric scooters will have to do
A nation should not be judged by how it treats its highest citizens, but its lowest ones.
To be honest I was shocked when I learned about this stripping of rights when you are imprisoned in the US. It is literally a tool of tyranny to lock people up in order to silence them.
I don’t think there’s anything at all original in JKR works. Mashing a bunch of fantasy tropes together into an interesting world seems to have worked though. At least, the films are decent.
Canadian photographer Francois Brunelle spent 12 years tracking down real life Doppelgängers — two individuals who are not related but could pass for identical twins — and photographing them. He calls his project “I’m Not a Look-Alike,” and it’s starting to get some well-deserved attention....
I didn’t know about their previous games and feel like I missed out as Battlerite looks interesting. Very poor decisions there though and seems like they killed their own game by chasing the BR trend.
Hopefully they have learned something from that and I see that V-Rising is now playable offline when it wasn’t initially, which gives me some hope.

Helldivers: Internal discussions are ongoing about the mandatory linking change. The response from our dev team has been pretty universally negative and we're looking for better options.

I think people in prison should be allowed to vote
In a democracy, I don’t see how their vote really matters less. Plus it’ll help improve prisons perhaps.
