Look, it was fun dragging the piss out of Sony this month, but its over in 2028. This is not a winnable battle, they've broken up with you, and it's time to move on. PC and Switch are your home now, and really, who knows how long Nintendo holds out. Protect GOG at all costs.

If I was an AI company, I would post a picture of some discarded mass market paperbacks, maybe the Twilight series or 50 Shades of Gray, and then all the people screeching about the destruction of books for scanning and training would just drop the issue.

The 2011 PSN outage lasted 24 days. I hope this outage lasts 30 just to prove a point.

It's funny how all the disc rot articles seem to come out as the Sony physical media debacle drags on. Very convenient.

I've never liked the concept of Game Pass, but in this digital-only hellscape, it's probably the best option. Would you rather pay for Netflix or buy a revocable license through Amazon or Apple? At least Game Pass is honest, you don't own anything and you know it.

I want my entire feed to be unhinged and terminally online people arguing, insulting, even death-threating eachother about Diet Coke vs. Coke Zero.

Ah shit, RIP JCD

So I saw The Odyssey last night - the conspiracy theorist in me can't help but think the culture war stuff was artificially injected into this film to draw attention to it (which greatly succeeded), and to distract from the fact that it's a pretty mid-tier film.

Resident Evil Requiem, Pragmata, and Nioh 3 are all full builds on disc, playable offline. 007 First Light is basically a code in a box. What am I missing for big releases this year (so far) that someone would want to buy on disc?

The opinion of Sony is so bad right now that people are willingly engaging in PS3 revisionism, as if that generation wasn't a complete disaster for them. (If the Gamecube and PS3 tell us anything, we're about 7 years away from Xbox One revisionism, which will be hilarious.)

It would be funny if IMAX gained popularity with more filmmakers, and then, after decades of getting everyone to change to widescreen, we all had to go back to something close to 4:3.

I don't know if anything in the Trump election speech last night is true or not, but here's the thing - if it is true, no one is going to jail for it, so who cares? You might as well not even bothered releasing the info.

Canada should do the right thing and voluntarily spend the next decade in the dark ages to offset the climate change damage caused by its wildfires.

One thing I admire about Boomers is their complete ignorance of the HR hellscape that we face in 2026. They just don't fucking care and its great.

The pinacle of AI advancement will be when it can produce new, 22 minute long episodes of Seinfeld with a hint for the theme and a push of a button. At that point, humans will be obsolete.

It's almost guaranteed that Xbox laid off people that should have been kept, and kept people who absolutely should be gone. I think we all know the people who needed to go.

Yeah, the Xbox news ain't great, but, don't let Sony use it as cover. Steady. Eye on the prize.

I could PR my way out of this Sony debacle. I would say as a console company, we've been increasingly concerned with discs not having full builds and being unplayable without downloads. To protect players against this issue, we ended disc support. We are reversing course, but going forward all disc versions will need to pass a more stringent test and be released at least 6 months after the digital version to ensure build quality. They save face, depreciate physical further (which is what they actually want), but make discs better for the subset that likes physical media (for the time being). Reframe and delay - just keep boiling the frog.
