Fun! Only thing that sticks out to me is that three 5¼-inch drives seems excessive. Would’ve been nice to have at least one of them be a 3½-inch instead, but that’s just a nitpick.

(I’m assuming they’re just blank fascia plates either way.)

Right? If it still works then it still works.

If the article was talking about anything other than tech/software, we’d be praising its longevity.

I’ve been wrapping up my first ever proper playthrough of Dragon Age: Origins (and Awakening).

I bounced off it hard back in the day, but this time around I’ve been really loving it! Looking forward to continuing through the series in the future.

Maybe they’re still mad that the first game was on Google Stadia?

Also conveniently means their newly price-bumped first party games will have an easier time competing with cheaper indies. Probably just a coincidence, right?

A big part of the problem is that social media platforms encourage and amplify hateful content.

People are literally profiting from their hate and harassment of game developers (and have the hubris to complain about ‘woke grifters’) but platforms like YouTube just throw up their hands and pretend it’s nothing to do with them.

I just use the default iOS 18 wallpaper and lock screen - no changes, no extra widgets.

But, again, this is physically impossible with an actual cartridge. The fact it worked with digital copies was just a loophole that they have now closed, surely?

I assume this will be a deeply unpopular opinion, but I don’t really see an issue with this?

If you buy a game physically you can’t have the cartridge inserted in two consoles at the same time. Why would the digital version work any differently?

A rare, levelheaded take.

The changes are fine. Nothing earth shattering, nothing wildly or fundamentally broken, just a visual update to better fit with Google’s new material design language.

No, that’s butter.

‘Better’ is a pre-release stage of software development.

Wii U too!

But cow juice is somehow fine?

They’re shutting down Assistant everywhere, in favour of Gemini.

The asteroid that killed the dinosaurs was seen as just one of several possible theories, rather than accepted fact.

Right. There’s plenty to criticise Apple for, both in general and for chasing the AI trend, but looking at it purely in terms of user privacy within AI features they’re miles ahead of the competition.

Vampire Survivors

Nothing out of the ordinary for Nintendo, unfortunately. Even the blockbuster Wii Sports was an aberration that they had to be convinced about.

[Reggie] Fils-Aimé pushed for [Wii Sports to be bundled free with the Wii], and initially company President Satoru Iwata turned the proposal down: "Nintendo does not give away precious content for free."

The approach isn’t what became a joke, it was the absolutely unhinged way in which it was presented in that famous Ballmer stage appearance.

Gabe Newell?
