The only things Annapurna has made up until now have been exclusivity deals. This is their first game that's actually theirs.

Twitter: You need to turn off two-factor authentication because we put that behind a paywall.

Twitter: You need an account to view content now.

These two things combined just mean I'm not going to be looking at Twitter content, period. I refuse to disable 2FA and make my account less secure, so I just logged out. By logging out, I now am unable to view content. Twitter's slowly doing everything they can to kill off the efficacy of corporate messaging on their platform, huh?

What's the other kind like? Just more toned-down?

If anything, the real laughing is all of the stuff we've been doing to fuck with reddit anyway. Destroying subs, burning posts and comments, deleting accounts.

Leaving.

Sriracha is sweeter and has more garlic flavor.

Just to clarify, which sriracha is this? That sounds pretty good and if it's the growers' one I'd like to pick up a bottle.

I wouldn't be so hopeful, Twitch has pretty much remained unbeaten and the only "ad block" solution I've found still gives a 30 second interruption of the stream, it just doesn't show the ad anymore. It's why I don't use the site anymore, even with Twitch Turbo as an option these days.

In essence, yes. These blockchain games exist for two reasons:

  1. They want "play to earn" gameplay where people are grinding to get items of real value to sell, like a job.
  2. They want it on everything, not just Steam where the community market already exists.

Problem is nobody likes or wants NFTs.

Nvidia seems committed to their awful pricing and they're raking in the money via enterprise AI nonsense, so I'd expect no price change.

Not to mention that you're still just buying their latest card so the strategy is working after all.

I feel as if this is the first real sign that this shit has had an impact. Minecraft isn't a small community by any means, and them ditching the huge subreddit over this is shocking.

I think it was the right call overall, but I wish they'd started with C++ from the get-go. The game would probably be out by now and they could be working on things like a mobile port while the long-content starved Minecraft community would have something brand-spanking new to check out and explore.

But things happen, I'm just excited to see the fruits of their labor in the future.

I've been playing Yakuza 5 and, as always, I cannot recommend this series enough. There's a pretty large quality drop-off going from Kiwami 2 to Yakuza 3 Remastered, but at minimum Yakuza 0, Kiwami, and Kiwami 2 are all worth playing 100% and after the hurdle of 3 it gets great again.

The stories are well-paced crime thrillers, the characters are interesting, the combat manages to feel good without just being another Arkham clone, and the games being set in Japan makes it a fun experience to walk through as someone who doesn't live there. They're a blast. Not on sale at the moment, but the Steam Summer Sale starts tomorrow.

The PC gaming community alone would kill this plan. Data caps make game steaming for long periods untenable and Valve has explicitly been focusing on Linux and Proton for the last decade to try and prepare for Microsoft doing something like this. Apple just released their game conversion toolkit or whatever that shows promise for (relatively) quick and easy ports of Windows games to M2 Macs. Having a streaming connection to play games would be laughable to anyone in the eSports community and would immediately result in companies abandoning Windows.
