RDR2 is the most confused game I've ever played. They have this great open world and a lot of systems and "immersion" that very clearly years of work have went into, yet very few of those systems interact with each other (or

They're very expensive games to make and the audience is comparatively small. The audience might also just be hard to capture since it's not too easy to explain an immersive sim and the appeal to someone.

Having high detail vertical slices of worlds is not an imperative in immersive sim games, but practicality often dictates it. There's a lot of arguing about what constitutes an immersive sim (i.e. NPC interactivity is not one), but the

Gamers can be pretty toxic, but I feel this this post is projecting a little much. It's not like the market in general is broken. AMD is releasing great cards and Intel is catching up fast. The value proposition of GeForce cards is jus

It's a shame that their consumer products seem to be stagnating, be it because of no resources going there or because they actually can't get a reasonable uplift. The current generation of GeForce is essentially just the last gen

It might be true in isolation (and for more middle incomes), but real income and especially buying power has declined a lot in the lower half of the population. It seems to be mostly people who had a chance to accumulate wealth during an ec

Both can be true. America also has a "missing middle" urban planning problem - not that that's by chance. Zoning laws, NIMBYs and mandatory parking all favor this outcome. But also, compare average car sizes to the EU. The av

Except Parallels also gives you an entire desktop experience, including the maybe best Windows on ARM experience in existence (thanks to Qualcomm). That is a lot of utility. OrbStack just feels like an upgrade to (co)lima on the other han

$100 a year seems pretty steep for a tool like this; to compare, that is also the price for Parallels Desktop.

It feels like Twitter was always designed as an echo chamber with the occasional deliberate clash between different kinds of echo chambers. Flip-flopping well enough between outraged debate and friendly clout-chase space to keep engagement

How is YouTube not centrist? Their entire platform is geared to be maximum advertiser friendly, aka the status quo. It really isn't like YouTube doesn't discriminate equally, I'd even say in some cases they do so more strongl

If you actually wanted to prevent piracy, you'd provide better service - stop locking save games to consoles until you pay up (and even that has exceptions, see ACNH) - and provide an easy and supported route to homebrew. I'm fair
