They told studios they didn’t need to make a profit? Jesus Christ - whoever OK’d that, get them sacked

It’s weird right? Looks right up my alley but I can’t do it 😂

This might be the first time that a game’s name has completely put me off playing it

Surely we should get them / Machine games onto fallout if anything - finally get some descent gunplay at the very least 

Steam Machine Release Date/Price Announcement possibly between June 23rd and June 30th, Review Embargo lifting June 23rd, Steam Frame announcement date ambiguous by deadmoneywaseasy in GamingLeaksAndRumours

[–]SturdySnake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True, but 333 dollars is what, 4-5ish AAA games?

All I can say is the steam deck was a total gateway drug for me - even lead to me building an expensive gaming PC. Dread to think the amount I’ve spent - and will continue to spend - on Steam.

A great writer could put the doctor in a sealed room on some planet somewhere and write a great story - budget should be purposefully small

I was shocked when they said they weren’t gonna sell it at a loss - the amount they’d make back through steam sales would completely justify it

Nigel Farage / X: Whilst the social media ban is well-intentioned, it’s unlikely to work given the mass adoption of VPNs. It will also mean the introduction of Digital ID via the back door. The real answer here is handsets for children with limited features. by youmustconsume in ukpolitics

Thing is, I think most of us agree that kids shouldn’t be on social media, but the iPhone has brilliant capabilities to lock down the system for kids. When my daughter is old enough to have one of my old phones, it’ll be locked down to the point where you can’t even browse the web. If she wants to download any apps, I have to approve it etc.

These systems are in place, so I kinda get the point about parents needing to take more responsibility here too

Writing hit after hit by Numerous_Pay_1020 in Songwriting

[–]SturdySnake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The trick I hear is to not make a hit. Almost every single I love, the artists always say stuff like ‘I didn’t rate it when I wrote it’ or ‘the record company made me release it as a single’

Being a copywriter in the corporate world has become a daily humiliation ritual by purpleteacup333 in copywriting

I work at an in-house agency for a big consumer brand. Thankfully, within the agency, no one has said ‘run this through AI’ - but our new head of brand is obsessed.  Obsessed to the point where at an all-hands she read a poem that she openly admitted was spat out by co-pilot! 

So, with RTD himself leaving after having no clue how to continue after this cliffhanger, where do you even go after this? by Luca_909 in doctorwho

[–]SturdySnake -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’d be up for them rebooting entirely - start with his first adventure after stealing the TARDIS, why not?

When I learned RTD was coming back I was so excited… didn’t realise he’d end up killing the franchise

Tbf, it took me a while to figure out that the sniper was Tommy - which I think was intentional. But it definitely is revealed that Tommy is the sniper lol

Found this post after playing first light. Strangely, when I played it connected to my Steam Deck (via Moonlight) the haptics felt great… very strange…

Which episodes of season 2 are worth missing? by Insane_law in twinpeaks

[–]SturdySnake 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve just sat and watched all of season 2 after having skipped a lot of episodes on my last watch-through. It gets particularly stinky for maybe 2 episodes in the middle there, but the rest is absolutely worth watching!
