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.

I've been thinking about paying for Nostr, and what that would entail, and what would be the tipping point for me. The thing is, I don't pay for Twitter either, and I get quality content like this over there:

I remember the PS3 launch being pretty disasterous, and then in the next gen, Xbox one-upped Sony by being even dumber. This current gen, I don't remember a whole lot of excitement or anger, it just was. It would be funny if both consoles were wildly hated in the upcoming gen.

What the fuck do people do with all these specialty movie theater popcorn buckets? Do they display them somewhere, or do they drop the $50 and then toss it when they are done?

Protect GOG at all cost... Or just steal shit, that's fun too.

There is no point in console gaming at this point. Just get a PC, and I say this as someone who plays on console 90% of the time.

There's a lot of complaints about console price hikes and why AI is to blame, but here's the thing, this is the free market at work. People vote with their wallets and their time, and clearly the anthropomorphic strawberry cheating on the banana is better content than most games.

I dunno if this is corporate backtracking or always the plan, but I'm okay with this approach. I can wait for a physical copy.

Owning physical media is really just betting that a company with a digital storefront is more likely to screw you over than your house burning down - which I dont know the odds, maybe 1% to 2% over a lifetime (3% to 5% if your wife tries to cook everything with high heat).
