There was that time Sega suddenly dropped the Saturn into the US market months ahead of schedule. Shot themselves in the foot doing it, too.

A mouse mode could be extremely useful for things like Civilization or Fire Emblem. Of course, the touch screen is also great for that and Three Houses and Triangle Strategy didn't support it.

Sure, but the game sets the resolution, not the console. The game might get a performance boost or a more stable frame rate on better hardware, but unless it gets a patch to detect which system it's running on and adjust the resolution accordingly, most games will still run in 720p.

Would the NFC system in the stick interfere with hall effect sensors?

I'm guessing the all grey model probably sold better than the one with colorful joycons so they lead with that this time.

It's been a while since my instance was federated with either of them, but I remember grad being more extreme in their beliefs and hb being more... annoying. The hb folks did a ton of brigading and picking fights. Maybe they chilled out since then, but the .world threads were exhausting to read with hbs being assholes in every single one, including things that had absolutely nothing to do with politics.

Maybe in three or four years when the mid-gen refresh comes out.

The guy on the right is mirrored, judging by the text on his shirt. I'm guessing she is, too.

If you're not happy with your side, you also get one last chance to switch when you are tasked with acquiring the Jagged Crown. If you've decided you don't like your guy, you can bring it to the other guy.

KotOR's control scheme is definitely weird. It's a turn based game but the turns are obfuscated to appear like real time. On top of that, it's in an engine intended for top-down isometric mouse-driven gameplay but it's been kludged into an over-the-shoulder console game, then that control scheme was kludged back to mouse-driven for the PC port. It felt real good on the original Xbox way back in 2003, but if I hadn't played it back then I would probably have some difficulty with it now.

The writing is shockingly good, though, especially for 2003. It was easily one of the best things in the expanded universe.

Not choosing is what the Thalmor want. Reading the notes in their embassy makes it clear that they want the war to drag on as long as possible since it weakens both the Empire and Skyrim, improving the Dominion's odds of victory in the next war. Any resolution to the civil war is less bad than allowing it to continue. There is no good option, just ones you can live with and ones you can't.

Yeah, the Empire really only enforces the ban while the Thalmor are looking. Elisif is another Talos worshiper and she's their choice for ruler of the province.

And then Morrowind actually tells you to stop doing the mainquest and sandbox for a while.

Like they said, muy mal.

RROD was actually 3/4ths of a circle. A full red circle was a different and less troubling error.

Unfortunately, that's the anti-scalper countermeasure. Crippling their crypto mining potential didn't impact scalping very much, so they increased the price with the RTX 40 series. The RTX 40s were much easier to find than the RTX 30s were, so here we are for the RTX 50s. They're already on the edge of what people will pay, so they're less attractive to scalpers. We'll probably see an initial wave of scalped 3090s for $3500-$4000, then it will drop off after a few months and the market will mostly have un-scalped ones with fancy coolers for $2200-$2500 from Zotac, MSI, Gigabyte, etc.

Technically, Sirius is the dog in the story.

The 'dead' status is more properly 'unconscious' in Final Fantasy games, and is sometimes actually translated that way. FF5 even has a scene where they try using phoenix downs on a genuinely dead character and it doesn't work.

Careful, that word's really offensive in most parts of the galaxy.

Like a wombat?
