What is even the point of this? It doesn’t seem to say that it includes the ability to have your friends join in on your games, which is the entire point of LAN parties, so I have to assume that it does not have that feature. LAN parties aren’t about me coming to your house to watch you play a game by yourself, its about me bringing ny rig to your house so we can play a game together without all the added latency of being on the internet. We get extremely low ping and get to play a multiplayer game together.

This just looks like a worse version of VR Chat but with the ability to stream my gameplay into the “game.”

I wonder if any of the people who worked on the Arkham games are even still at the company. Nowadays it seems like all these beloved studios have none of the people that made the games we love, and are just riding off the coattails of the popularity given to them that they clearly do not deserve.

I agree that the price increases were already coming and tarriffs provided an easy scapegoat to blame it on. If the tarriffs never came, the prices still would have gone up but they just wouldn’t have publicly announced it.

If tarrifs are objectively bad, why did China enact tarriffs in retaliation? Why would they damage their own economy to do basically nothing to the US? The Chinese economy is way more dependant on trade than the US economy is.

Any person that says the best AoE is any game other than AoE2, they’re just objectively wrong. AoE2 is the best of the best.

Price increases always increase profits. You think they are only going to increase the price by exactly how much the tarriffs or other import dues increase their cost? Of course not. They will absolutely increase their profit margin with the price increase.

I had read from AP that the President announced he is scheduled to or is scheduling to meet with Xi Jing Ping for negotiations. Kinda funny that China decided to tarriff US goods they import though. I don’t see what that even accomplishes for them since their economy is way more reliant on good international trade than the United States. Even as a bargaining chip, its a pretty weak one.

Either way, I think that these price increases were coming anyway, and tarriffs are an easy scapegoat to blame it on that takes the heat off the company.

The tarriffs were put in place to get the other countries (Canada, Mexico, and China) to tighten up their border security for illegal immigrants and illegal drug trafficking, particularly fentanyl.

This is the officially documented reason for the tarriffs.

Imagine making a typo in your summary that exchanges the United Kingdom for the United States, creating a literal hallucination of what the UK government response says lol

Arent the tarriffs on a 30 day pause though? With China already in talks to negotiate? If a deal is made and the tarriffs are dropped, are the price changes not going to go into effect?

My guess is no. Any excuse to raise prices will always be applauded by shareholders.

Almost certain this is correct. If this is not correct. I HAVE to know what the answer is.

“Modernism” is a term used to refer to art and culture from 1930s-1940s America. Searching for something like furniture or architecture in that style would mean you use search terms like “modern furniture” or “modern architecture.” Can that really be considered “modern” anymore?

When the PS4 and Xbox One are no longer the “previous gen” I will be calling them “next gen,” as that is the term most associated with those consoles. Even after the consoles were released and well into their lifespan they were still called “next gen.”

I call future consoles that haven’t released yet “upcoming gen” or “future gen” interchangeably.

Original Xbox, GameCube, PS2, Dreamcast - “old.”

PS3, Xbox 360, Wii - “modern.”

PS4, Xbox One - “previous gen”

PS5, Xbox Series - “current gen”

Nintendo Switch - “2015 smartphone”

“We have considered it and have decided to price our console exactly what we had already decided, which is below what real video game consoles cost, but we will still overcharge you for the hardware we sell to you. But don’t worry, we considered it.”

Anything before the GameCube, PS2, and Original Xbox.

So PS1, Sega Saturn, and Nintendo64 and older are “retro.”

The Atari 2600 and Colecovision are “vintage.”

Pong and the Magnavox Odyssey are “antique.”

They are absolutely going to be on the Switch 2. Not even a question.

Just like Zelda Twilight Princess was on the Wii and GameCube.

Publishers and developers really be out here looking at literally everything except the problem, lol.

I could not be happier that DRG was actually successful. My only regret is that it wasn’t even more successful.

Eh, I have spent about a year on Lemmy and I have seen way, way more calls of direct violence and inciting violence here in the last few months on Lemmy than I ever saw in multiple years on Reddit. If I had known how Lemmy would turn out, I wouldn’t have come here. It was cool in the beginning when the people were still nice, but Lemmy users have become so aggressive lately. I can see why someone might consider Lemmy a platform that incites violence, the users give plenty of ammo for that.

I think you got hit with a wrong timing thing. Almost like poking a hornets nest, you might have thought you were being helpful or whatever, but things are so volatile there that it wasn’t the right time.
