I read that it wasn’t really that fun to be a tester back then and especially now. Imagine having to play a level over and over and over again, then having to fill out sheets about what is wrong with it.

And that infamous commercial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BRWvfMLl4ho really oversold it.

He’s looking like the Anti-Gaben Newell in that picture there.

See: Mick Gordon.

GTA VI I feel is going to stretch about 4 generations of gaming before ever seeing VII.

GTA V has started in the PS3/360 era, went through the PS4/One era, is sitting in the PS5/X era and we’re now about 2-3 years away from the next gen of gaming to happen.

Also it is hard for me to believe we got both GTA IV and GTA V in the same generation.

He’s just mad that he’s not as good at making game engines like Id, Valve and even Epic did.

In a way, I don’t see the point. Like, for example, what would my money do for someone like Metallica? Who’ve made millions for years doing what they do. I’ve pirated their music long ago and I don’t feel guilty because I know they’re a band who has signed contracts that were worth lots of money. Besides concerts, what would I be doing?

That’s pretty much where I would draw the line with these things. If bands and artists have signed with a label, majority of the time, you don’t need to do anything, they’re already making it, that’s what they wanted to do and they did it.

It is better to support those who hadn’t.

Because, you’d find this hard to believe, that there are people who want to enjoy a hobby without feeling like selling out. Like there are actual artists who even see signing a contract with a record label as selling out. Because that would mean selling their soul, which countless of artists and bands have done over the years if it mean success and reach. But look at where that got them, might’ve got them fame and money, but it doesn’t attract artists who don’t care.

These artists wouldn’t mind working real jobs while doing what they enjoy. And they don’t mind using services like this. Some artists in the past, even saw pirating as a way of getting out and being known by people, it’s happened before.

Even with legal alternatives like Spotify, the artists still get pennies while the CEO and Joe Rogan rake in millions.

I completely understood why Maynard James Keenan and Tool was hesitant for a while about putting up their discography on there.

The whole point of this lawsuit was to try and torpedo the Internet Archive. Would’ve been nice to know the explicit results from whatever settlement was reached. Was it for IA to just remove and ban the account that uploaded the works? I’ve no idea.

Either way, just the music labels making up numbers as usual to make the battle look unwinnable. Fucking pricks.

This is what happens when his little sitcom has been out of syndication for nearly three decades. Starts going crazy.

Really? People are going to make a huge deal out of not being able to play “Incest Daughters BDSM”? Is that how far we’ve fallen off of the wagon as to what games we prioritize in getting removed? Fucking really?

Anyone who is in such an uproar about that kind of quality being removed, ought to get your priorities in check.

This is my birth month and I was looking forward to picking up this bundle for my birthday. But, I wasn’t impressed with the selections here.

WWE2K25, the quality of the series has slipped, year after year. They are the only game series I know of, that can’t even make hair graphics look good. Destiny 2, this is just a glorified DLC/MTX-feely kind of package, for an otherwise FREE game. Return to Monkey Island feels like a shallow cash-grab, I hate that art design. Grapple Dog looks like just a cheapo game, not bundle-worthy.

Everything else doesn’t appeal to me. Hell, there weren’t even any games that both could benefit me or anyone I know that’d like a copy of. That is when I knew this bundle sucked. Ruined the birthmonth mood for me. Fucking IGN…

Stupid.

Instead of you know, taking the games that were good on that system and re-releasing them as they should have been. They do this.

This was the system that made Nintendo so ashamed, they wouldn’t even address or know of its existence until years later.

Google and Privacy can’t exist in the same sentence.

Spotify is dogshit. The amount they limit you on a free account is abysmal and should be illegal. 6 skips a day, shuffle is ass, 2 - 4 ads per song, they lie about you having 30 minutes a break from ads because I experienced having 3 uninterrupted songs, then about 2 ads in between then a few more songs and that all doesn’t total to 30 minutes.

Why do people like this shit? They willingly pay Joe Rogan far more than he’s actually worth (he’s a glorified talking-head who appeals to a certain demographic) while kicking away numerous staff that bother try retaining this shit app. Crashes and drains your phone’s battery in minutes.

I wouldn’t say broken for months, it’s been broken.

“Awww, Comick is shutting down”

“OH BY THE WAY…!” This. lol

Gotta love piracy.

If ISPs decide to be liable, they know they’re going to seriously be hurting themselves in the long run. Because per every customer they cut who they assume and know is pirating, is lost profit. Say a customer is paying $100 for a premium plan, that’s a $100 loss right there. That can multiply the more they go on these witch hunts.

Every year, many games are disappearing, for various reasons. Every game that disappears from distribution is potentially lost to game preservation efforts. It is particularly worrying when games are potentially vanishing due to external pressure."

More like, video game companies can give a shit less about preservation unless it is making them money. They don’t care. And if anyone thinks that they care with all of the remasters/remakes they manage to make, that is only banking on your nostalgia and that is hand picked by them as to what they decide is worth making profit on. Sadly it works and sadly, they won’t bother with every game so I would stop getting your hopes up by now on video game companies in doing that.

And anyone is even lucky that video game companies lift a finger on aged copyrights that take decades somehow for them to get to, despite them raking in billions a year. You would think money would talk there but nah, just their laziness and carelessness.

Either wait for sales or just stop crying with these poorly constructed takes already, most of us have been telling you for years about this. It is entirely on you.
