In the next 5 years?

I’m skeptical. In the next 20, sure.

Fantastic news for the devs!

I was pleasantly surprised by Super Mario Wonder. It had the same feel of fun and variety that the older games did.

So people are morons?

Picked up Bloons Tower Defence 6 on sale for $1.50, already put quite a few hours into it.

Serif (which owns Affinity) was just bought out by Canva, so it’s only a moment of time before they are enshittified unfortunately.

I use Connect.

I used to use Jerboa but it broke after an update and I switched over, I found it to be a better UX on Connect.

Arma 3?

Haven’t played it personally, I’m not big on milsim games, but it’s got a decent following. Might not have the accessibility options though.

I’ve heard good things about Battlebits, for what it’s worth it seems decent.

Does it require a PSN account to use the adaptor?

They released one on Egypt pretty recently.

Will it require a PSN account to play? Probably…

Game Pass and X Cloud is their strategy.

But it turns out that there’s not a whole lot of reason to get Game Pass if the games suck, and if you want to play a game long term, you’re better off buying it once on Steam instead of paying a subscription.

And X Cloud still sucks ass.

They have no decent exclusives, and their purchase of Bethesda didn’t pay off because Redfall and Starfield sucked ass.

They wasted billions on Activision Blizzard, which it seems like was entirely for the WoW and CoD IPs, and now they’re shutting other studios they scooped up with Bethesda which was purchased for the Fallout and Elder Scrolls IP.

They’re trying to score exclusive IPs for the next gen to get people stuck in their ecosystem.

They do. There are plenty of indie Devs.

The reason why everyone doesn’t do it is because it requires significant capital to be able to support a dev team through production for a number of years.

Not to mention they will still have to deal with publishers potentially fucking them over, as shown with the Helldivers 2 PSN fiasco.

Fall of Civilizations podcast.

Great insight it a number of civilisations that have collapsed throughout human history. Explains their rise, peak and of course collapse in great detail.

Usually analog sticks, but it depends on the game. Something like shovel knight is better with the dpad.

I just happen to play more games that are better with analog sticks.

Well you have to consider it’s 7 years old. It was incredible in 2016.

Fakespot add-on for Firefox for browsing Amazon.

Balatro, the Joker Poker has me deep in it’s clutches.

Love it.

Such an incredible gaming experience with absolutely no words.

I also love Abzū, which is kind of like a sequel to it, but also not really.

I did try and get my girlfriend (non-gamer) to play Journey and she did not enjoy it at all, which made me realise a large part of why I love it is that it doesn’t hold your hand, and it assumes you are adept at gaming in some way.

Looks pretty cool. Hope it lives up to the original and is successful for the studio.
