It has no multiplayer beyond co-op and it has horrible performance issues on PC - Windows or Linux. I refunded it on Steam.

Even the console versions have bad bugs - random disconnects, you can’t go both ways around the island on The Silent Cartographer, and you can’t rebind buttons that are already bound without the game resetting after closing the game - ask me how I know all this.

LASO Master in Halo MCC and Faster in SUPERHOT VR. That and a handful of other ones are listed at 0.5%.

No worries, I appreciate it. The whole situation around AI is just unfortunate, including the arguments about things being AI-generated (or how to tell they are without throwing it back at AI.)

I will admit I didn’t think that maybe the site itself was using AI, and even sources I’ve found saying so aren’t entirely reliable (although I wouldn’t be surprised), so dare I say this wasn’t me denying “common sense.”

Other parts of the internet would agree with you

Strange because all of my MIT repos are listed - all the GPL ones are excluded.

No worries, I enjoyed the write-up!

Small correction: you mentioned playing F-Zero X on the N64, but then refer to is as F-Zero GX, which was a separate game for the GameCube.

Hey, we have AGI! We’ve had it for years! It’s called making babies 😎😎😎😎😎

Xbox Live was always a paid service.

A lot of its mechanics and gameplay are unbelievably outdated. I’m sure I wouldn’t play it if I didn’t as a kid.

This is the way the game was meant to be played: exploring and having fun with it. Not XP grinding into the ground.

I was offered an agreement that, for me personally, raised difficult long-term questions about rights, future technological use of identity and voice, the ability to speak freely, and compensation. Ultimately, it just wasn’t something I felt comfortable signing. I genuinely wish everyone involved well. But preserving my autonomy mattered more to me.

Fair enough.

Given the price of everything, it’s hard to be excited about this. I’ll probably stick with what I have and get used hardware if I’m hard-pressed to get something more.

I’m not faulting them (look at what happened with the PS3), but it was still a point towards its price being higher than the folks that thought it’d be priced closer to a PS5 or Xbox Series.

I’ve been saying since the beginning of the RAM crisis that there was no way this was going to be under $999 since Valve wasn’t willing to make it a loss leader. Oh, the sweet validation. And more importantly: fuck AI. I’ll see you all when the Steam Frame is +$1,499 USD.
