It’s a consistent issue for Microsoft releases. You would think a company that sells cloud services would be capable of having a smooth launch.

I can’t disagree with point 1 or 2. My biggest issue with Sony releasing games on PC has been recent. Trying to force their login is stupid. It doesn’t work for people not in their target regions. I’m not one of those affected people. I would also prefer if they would reduce the delay porting from console, but at least the ports are usually well done.

I’ll be honest, I was in favor of Microsoft acquiring ActiBlizzKing. I didn’t have faith in the existing leadership and Microsoft has mostly taken a hands off approach with its developers. Since the acquisition, things have been mostly OK, at least on the Blizzard side. The biggest issue I have seen has been increased monetization, especially for WoW and D4. Not game ruining, but concerning.

For this acquisition, FROM doesn’t appear to have management issues. I also do not like the direction Sony has been taking things, especially with their PC releases. They are also the market leader on Consoles, so I do not see this as required to stay competitive.

Please no.

I think the cost of WoW has been fairly reasonable over the last 20 years. The subscription has stayed the same price of $15 per month the whole time, and if you know you are going to play WoW for the whole year, it is just $13 per month with an annual sub. The only thing that has gone up in price is the expansions which have gone from $40 to $50.

I think another point that you are missing is that WoW players often spend most of their game time playing WoW, which means they spend less on buying other games.

I bought the PS4 Pro as well, because it didn’t feel like a bad value. It felt like a mid gen refresh where we got some extra power for no extra cost. Sony thinks players care about the extra performance for another $200, which is ridiculous. Up until this generation, consoles got cheaper over time as they become cheaper to produce. This is the first generation (that I remember) where the cost has stayed the same/gone up.

I fully agree that at $500, this would be a no-brainer for those wanting the extra power. A $350 base console would be a good pairing.

Having the option would be best. If you are trying to save on data or have a slow connection, a lower red image might be preferred.

Makes sense to continue the support since these components may be reused in other systems.

The thing is, they won’t be able to sell a Mount like this again in the future. This is kind of a “break glass” type of situation.

It’s going to sell like crazy. It’s not just that it’s a Mount, but it also has an auction house and mailbox that you can use anywhere at any time. The only other mount that has the AH is no longer attainable regularly, only on rare occasions for gold cap.

I am going to get it, but I’m going to use my gold in game to convert to bnet balance.

Could always install Bazzite on it, which would fix the UI issues and bring it on par with the Steam Deck.

Fuck Nintendo. All they have done is ensure I never buy one of their products again.

I’m a vim user and I would say it’s not. It’s very powerful, but only once you become familiar with the commands.

Nano is a better default for the average user because it works in a way most users would expect for a text editor to work.

I guess I usually skipped the race part, because I don’t remember that nearly as much as the guy walking up to turn on the lights.

Thanks. I remember seeing that thread on Mastodon, but I hadn’t associated it with his actions. I think open logs are good and if someone acts like that as a moderator, it is best if they step down.

Would be nice if they would implement a sponsor block type feature, but I doubt we will ever see that happen.

Can you provide some more information about him abusing his powers here?

No doubt it will come to both consoles. I just wonder what upgrades there will be on the new console.

Go ahead and report it to the Mint team. Even if it is an issue upstream, they will verify the issue and then report it as well. Never hesitate to report a bug you find, especially if it’s a security or privacy issue.

Even if the bug is a duplicate, it helps to know other people are having the same issue. At worst they will mark your report as a duplicate, which will let you know they are aware of the issue.

Almost every emulator lets you remap buttons on your controller. There is nothing that stops you from mapping the buttons based on position instead of what the face button says. There are also plenty of controllers you can use on PCs that have the Nintendo layout.
