I’ve never seen a company who’s advertising goes so far the wrong way. It makes me want to cancel it and I don’t even subscribe.

They don’t even have enough content to fill a billboard, let alone a whole streaming service.

I thought The Bear was Disney and Severance was Apple… At least that’s how they are in the UK.

Welp, it’s probably about time for my PC to break its RAM again.

They can barely make the other device turn on reliably, let alone have enough planets aligned to let the other device access the internet.

Depends how full it is, how interesting is it (note this is not the same as full), how fast you can travel, and how fun movement is.

There’s a lot of elements to open world and a lot of devs get the balance very wrong. You end up playing in a map rather than the world.

By “brace” I presume they mean “champagne corks at the ready”.

Have you seen daytime TV? It’s a sea of ads for shite you’d never want, and if you have no money for the shite, there’s ads for loans as well.

Not any more.

I’m unconvinced anyone will really legislate this, and if it is, it’ll just lead to that country being scratched off the list of where the game is officially supported.

Realistically, we need to stop buying online only games where the servers will eventually go offline, and support those that release open servers.

And the DLC is just as good as the base game.

In the beginning, America was discovered. This has made a lot of people very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move.

You mean the nobody has any fucking money except the super rich crisis?

Come on everybody, we need to make a…

Platform game

Doom clone

Command and Conquer clone

MMO

Open world game

MOBA

PUBG clone

Extraction Shooter

Coming soon: Fortnite Extractimum. Eleventy billion players in two days.

In fairness, I have never played any other game like Death Stranding.

Ooh, somebody has realised the pharmaceutical corp has better lawyers than he does.

One man’s quest to own all the leather jackets on Earth.

Billions in investment. Trillions in speculation. All on something that makes less money than Genshin Impact.

Fun times.

Exactly, one man’s mission to soak up as much money from religious nutters as possible.

Just as the church has always done.

That dream of an AGI just a little further away every day.

The main advantage in 4K TVs “looking better” are…

1. HDR support. Especially Dolby Vision, gives noticeably better picture in bright scenes.

2. Support for higher framerates. This is only really useful for gaming, at least until they broadcast sports at higher framerates.

3. The higher resolution is mostly wasted on video content where for the most part the low shutter speed blurs any moving detail anyway. For gaming it does look better, even if you have to cheat with upscaling and DLSS.

4. The motion smoothing. This is a controversial one, because it makes movies look like swirly home movies. But the types of videos used in the shop demos (splashing slo-mo paints, slow shots of jungles with lots of leaves, dripping honey, etc) does look nice with the motion interpolation switched on. They certainly don’t show clips of the latest blockbuster movies like that, because it will become rapidly apparent just how jarring that looks.

The higher resolution is just one part of it, and it’s not the most important one. You could have the other features on a lower resolution screen, but there’s no real commercial reason to do that, because large 4K panels are already cheaper than the 1080p ones ever were. The only real reason to go higher than 4K would be for things where the picture wraps around you, and you’re only supposed to be looking at a part of it. e.g. 180 degree VR videos and special screens like the Las Vegas Sphere.
