  • Yeah I don’t really get all the hate. Is it the greatest game ever? No not even a little. Is it good though? Yeah I think so. The combat isn’t all that deep but I’m mostly enjoying it for the writing and world building. It also helps that it’s a gorgeous game.

    That being said I can’t see paying full price for it. I subscribed to ubisoft + for it and plan on canceling once I’m done with it. Playing it that way makes it cheaper than a ticket to the movies but for way more hours of pretty star wars locales.



  • Might be an unpopular opinion but I personally think this is fine. Especially for console. As long as the frame pacing is consistent I don’t think the game is going to be harmed by being at 30 fps. If this were PC or a competitive game it might be a different story but aiming on an Xbox controller is already suboptimal and once you play for a while your brain stops thinking about the framerate.

    Then again I still go back and play Cod zombies in split screen with my gf on the 360 from time to time which doesn’t even have a consistent frame rate. So I may be someone less worried about that sort of thing.







  • To be honest I actually don’t think it sounds all that bad. If it were forced military service I’d think it was terrible. But it sounds like you can just do community service instead of the military training. And it’s just one weekend a month for twelve months. Given how much we’re disconnected from our communities these days I think making sure kids engage with their communities in this way could actually be really beneficial.

    That’s just thinking about this one policy in a Vaccuum though. I know nothing about British politics so I have no clue what other awful and heinous shit this party may or may not be into.








  • Reading through the article he actually seems to indicate the opposite. He actually specifically mentions how he’s frustrated when trying to use windows handhelds because of windows things and that he needs to take ownership over those issues. And he talks about bringing Xbox games (seemingly implying gamepass) to other devices. The phrase “every screen is an Xbox” came up. He also mentioned that they mocked up a windows gaming handheld at some point but nothing came to fruition.

    Seems like, at least from what he said here, that they are at least looking into bring gamepass to steam deck.

    Of course saying something and actually doing something are two entirely different things so we’ll see I guess. I’m not holding my breath.




  • Well, it’s a little more complex than that. he’s the good guy in macro scale. (if you believe his own presciece. Which is admittedly dubious due to the obvious conflict of interest. But Paul shows on numerous occasions that he can indeed see the future.) everything Paul did (and by extension everything Leto II did) was to guarantee humanity’s survival as a species. Paul essentially sacrificed billions of lives across the empire in order to ensure humanity wouldn’t go extinct. That being said he is definitely not the good guy to the Fremen. He and Leto II fucked that group of people over big time.
