I suggest the Commonwealth’s saga by Peter F. Hamilton (Pandora’s star, Judas unchained).

Definitely worth it ! Getting rid of the Delta fan high pitch whine certainly made me use my SD more.

It’s going to be Gun, but Wocotow just rolls off the tongue.

You should ask Noctua what they think, they have splendid customer support.

I would keep it as an involuntary art piece.

There was quite a bit of trendy EA-hate. Some of the criticisms were well deserved though. The game was plagued with severe technical issues at launch: the multiplayer was especially busted.

Also the open world map feels much too small when compared to similar games. I remember the disappoint I felt when I realized “oh this is not the first zone, this is THE zone”.

Regardless, I also played Destiny (2) ; while I have to admit it is a better product, I enjoyed Anthem more.

Announcing your redemption arc before even starting it sounds like a surefire way not to have one.

I’m likely in the minority here, but I really enjoyed my time with Anthem.

Since it was shitcanned months after release, there simply was not enough content to keep playing… But what was there always felt special.

Bit late to the party, but the game is in a pretty good place right now. More meat for the grinder is always welcome anyway.

Play BotW first. A few years down the line, if you ever want more and are able to make time for it, play TotK. One should not play them back to back anyway.

The kickstarter funds being portrayed as enough to fund the game is the scammy part. It is now revealed that it was in fact seed money to convince investors.

It should have been obvious from the start as 100K or 300K is nowhere near “making a high-profile videogame money”.

I played the demo and really liked it at first, as it started out like a Telltalle-style narrative game.

The actual dispatching gameplay loop though, I did not enjoy all that much. It becomes quickly way too frantic for me to enjoy the banter. Plus the actual thing you are looking at and interacting with is a map with glowing icons, i.e. not what I enjoy in video games.

I would argue that a platform mascot has to stay exclusive (or near-exclusive to allow for some weird spinoffs). This would trim down your list significantly: no Doomguy, no Gordon, no Geralt…

In fact none of the big ones would make the cut. Maybe Jill of the Jungle (and Jazz Jackrabbit ?), but they do not have many games to their names. Note even the Elite iconic Cobra ship would fit the bill, as Elite Dangerous was released on consoles.

Shame that it will very likely be needed, but good that a company is willing to step up. The GuliKit Hall effect sticks for Switch served me well since I put them in.

I did exactly that with gulikit hall effect parts 2 years ago. It’s surprisingly easy and indeed fixes drift issues once and for all.

Tout le monde, sauf les irréductibles couche-tards ! A propos de musique j’ai revu la mini websérie “Rock Macabre” cette nuit. Toujours aussi bon mais Youtube a l’air d’avoir réduit au silence la partie musicale du final ! Un comble pour une comédie musicale.

On one side of the ring, greedy corps which want to profile you better than the NSA does. On the other, drama-hungry and social networks-fueled outrage culture.

That’s how an old game giveaway backfires and becomes the scandal of the day.

Agreed. As long as their corporate overlords do not fuck up Ars, there is no reason to avoid them.

If (when ?) it becomes an AI slop-filled shell of its former self, then it will be past time to go elsewhere.

Oh wow, I just took a peek at its history and it does not even qualify as slop. To the blocklist it goes !

Do we get our SEAF SAMs back now ?

I’m going to go against the general consensus here and say you would probably be better served buying a Switch 2. The Steam Deck is awesome but it is bulkier, has less battery life, and is overall less suited for a “pick up, play 10mins and toss is back” usage.

However if you are up for some occasional tinkering, the SD is far more versatile than the Switch and could even replace your laptop depending on your use-cases.
