  • I love LTT. It’s entertaining, and he shows cool stuff. And you can even learn a thing or two.

    And I am gonna be even more unpopular than you.
    I find Steve from GN to be boring as fuck to watch regularly (though I watch him when I want to see a specific review, like I do with other channels, his content is very good in terms of information), and he resorts to clickbait regularly, even if a different kind of clickbait (that waste of sand thumbnail, if it was LTT, would be criticized forever).

    And more, even if you want to buy something instead of watching for entertainment, you shouldn’t rely on 1 single review anyway, so pretending GN is the be-all-end-all for tech reviews is ridiculous.








  • I am nearly finishing Breath of The Wild, using CEMU instead of using my Switch (which my gf is using to play BOTW and Pokemon Violet), and I am playing Football Manager 2007 for a bit of nostalgia.

    I will then finish Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night which is a great metroidvania, for those who loved Castlevania: Symphony of the Night (because it’s the same producer, Koji Igarashi).



  • Right now?
    No, I don’t think so.

    But Windows is getting worse, and GamePass won’t be cheap forever.
    Same with them putting the games on Steam, it can change on a whim.
    I mean, even on PC, nothing stops them from walking back and just making everything Xbox exclusive in the future again.

    They can make changes that make it impossible (or extremely hard) for their games to work on Linux using Proton.

    There are many ways they can use these company mergers to fuck the consumer in the future.

    Consolidation is always a bad thing, in my opinion, because it takes away choice from the consumer and puts it in the hands of trillion-dollar companies whose sole objective is to make ALL the money all the time, forever.


  • Wasn’t the Disney stuff under Trump’s administration?
    It seems Biden (from an outside perspective, as I am not from the US) is at least trying to reign in companies a bit, so this block isn’t that surprising.

    The EU decision surprised me more, but I can understand their arguments.

    As a gamer, this could be great in the short term, with Activision-Blizzard getting good leadership and hopefully new games from franchises which are not CoD or Diablo.
    Medium/Long term, it could be awful, with Microsoft getting more and more market share and then turning around and fucking us in the ass really hard after they lock us in their ecosystem
