Genuinely a great idea, in the abstract. Smart watches should be ideal for games you can drop at a moment’s notice and quickly get back into.
No idea why the dev didn’t stack the cards in any way. Y’know. Like when they’re in your hand?
If the highest possible rating isn’t “any adult can have it,” that’s a censorship board with better PR.
Germany might be doing it properly… nowadays.
Australia’s still fucked.
An artist I followed fell off the internet and it made me a data hoarder.
In the AOL era.
That’s why the business model must be banned entirely. We were never going to shop our way out of it. If we allow this to continue, there will be nothing else.
Okay, well, it doesn’t.
What? No, just via circumstances. As in, the situation will have consequences you failed to predict.
Nothing inside a video game should cost real money.

The fact AMD was visibly scared to even be associated with this project is a big fucking hint to regulators that CUDA is vendor lock-in tool which Nvidia guards at all costs.
Software has won. Every game wants to be on every platform, because platforms are an obstacle to customers. The only exceptions are from studios getting bought off or bought up.
Consoles don’t even have any special sauce left - they are computers, full stop. Do you want the blue AMD laptop, or the green AMD laptop? Or the red Android tablet?
Microsoft saw this coming a mile off, and is still getting walked by Valve. The Xbox brand was invented to computerify the console market. The first one was literally a PC. The second was a generic compiler target. They’ve been breaking down barriers because they expected to own everything.
Sony saw this coming… last year, maybe. Helldivers 2 showed them how much money they could make being a generic publisher, and it scared the shit out of them. That’s why they burned a lot of customers by forcing them into the PSN ecosystem. Force is the only way they have an ecosystem. People say “PS5 has no games” despite that object supporting hundreds of titles and basically the entire PS4 library. What they mean is: having a PS5 is fine. But why should you buy it instead of something else? What’s the difference, anymore?
