Microsoft doesn't expect anyone to pay $80. They expect people to sub to Game Pass instead.

Nintendo Switch 2 Smashes Records with Over 3 Million Units Sold in 24 Hours in c/[email protected]

I'm personally pretty bummed by this news. This isn't $450(+tax) worth of console, IMO. They went backwards in some areas (no OLED screen??) and simply refused to make much-needed improvements in others (no Hall effect sticks??).

I was really hoping the Switch 2 would go the way of the 3DS, with a disappointing launch that caused Nintendo to bring the price back down to Earth.

I simply don't understand why people want to spend $500+ to play Mario Kart. At this point, I've just gotta accept the fact that it's not a ~~consult~~ console - or a brand - for me.

EDIT: "consult" to "console"; keeping it as strikethrough to preserve the joke/accurate point in the reply.

Really wish this were multi platform. I love the series but I'm not about to pay jacked-up PS5 console prices.

7.1 on IMDb, 80% RT ("certified fresh")... this isn't a shitty movie. Like, we all believe it's actually good, and it needs no defending.

They keep getting elected, primarily because the voting populace believes any member of the other team is worse (and refuses to seriously consider any third party).

Also, money buys outcomes.

You must be visiting much more upstanding sites than I do! 😆

For those still curious, here's an article with some examples of dark patterns.

This is... exactly what most sites do with their consent banners.

This guy is a bulldozer with a wreckin' ball attached!

This track has been getting some national airplay lately thanks to one commercial that's always on, though I can't remember what product it's selling.

Mostly community remakes of Halo classics here. The write-ups leave a lot to be desired, though. Looks like you'll have to try for yourself in order to find out whether or not the gate works on the new High Ground.

Starfield's Main Character Is Silent So The World Can Be Huge (kotaku.com)
 

Bethesda also says Starfield’s silent protag was partially inspired by fan reaction to Fallout 4

Starfield is a big game with hundreds of planets to explore and many sandwiches to collect. But while all the NPCs you’ll meet in Starfield have voices, the game’s main character doesn’t. Bethesda already confirmed this was the case last year, but has now shared more details about why it made this choice, revealing that originally Starfield had a talking protag and that ultimately cutting the main character’s voice helped the game grow in size.
