This is exactly what happened. To the tune of $20 billion.

The EA studio slaughterhouse is about to go into overdrive.

Or 3. Hold shift, press ZZ to save and quit ZQ to quit without saving.

5. Writing and quitting

  					ZZ

ZZ Write current file, if modified, and close the current window (same as “:x”). If there are several windows for the current file, only the current window is closed.

  					ZQ

ZQ Quit without checking for changes (same as “:q!”).

Then you try to do anything else with that PC while it’s writing at 300 KBps and… buffer underrun. So many coasters.

Ah shit I was really hoping that was a documentation issue, not an implementation bug. Deep down I knew the truth. Autoplay Dialogue will soothe that pain though. I’m going through my first playthrough and having to manual “Next” all the dialogue is a bummer.

I am looking forward to this. It would be nice if their “Demo Release Date Trailer” had a date in it though, instead of just “September.”

I love Linux and run some Fedora flavor on just about every machine I own. I can’t imagine trying to run it on my sim rig with all the specialized hardware and software though. That sounds like a nightmare.

Now that’s dedication! Congratulations!

It does do 2.4GHz. There’s a dongle stored in the charging base.

Hogwash it was clearly the fault of name of most recent developer to resign and take a job at another company!

Nobody is forcing studios or publishers at gunpoint to release on a subscription service.

Except for the hilarious number of studios owned by Microsoft. One would hope Microsoft takes the effect of Game Pass into account when they’re reviewing sales figures and shutting down studios. One would hope…

I love everything about this, but this bit I love just slightly more:

Updated 4/30/2025: I have received hundreds of e-Mails from my flyer. I told my grandson that flyers still work in this day and age. He said societal media is the only way, but I was right. And he is still very thin. Thank you all for the interest, I will be in touch. -Theo

All good to great games that build on the foundation set by ALttP. I’d gladly play any of them if you put it in front of me but nostalgia demands that I push the one I played when I was like 9 years old or whatever.

I still play through The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past at least a couple times a year though it’s usually with the randomizer these days. It is objectively the best video game ever made, which helps.

I guess this November is no longer a big red X on every publisher’s release calendar

Giant Bomb deserves more than a thread hanging off the Polygon story post. I don’t think it’s ever looked nearly this dire.

I don’t remember exactly how I stumbled across GB, but I think it came up randomly during TheSpeedGamers Final Fantasy marathon in 2009 (which was the inspiration for the first GDQ marathon in 2010). They weren’t necessarily the first to do the very personality-focused, video heavy, gaming coverage, but they definitely went at it the hardest and with the fewest fucks given about doing anything the “right” way. I’ve spent over 16 years now following the site and the people that have come through it, the Giant Bomb Extended Universe. I couldn’t possibly quantify the impact they’ve had on me over the years. It may not technically be the end but I don’t see a path forward from here.

Just gonna go be sad for a bit and watch the best content GB ever put out. That would be, obviously, Thursday Night Throwdown: Fortune Street (and part 2). <>

Here we are, 17 years after a bunch of clueless suits fucked with GameSpot and led to the creation of Giant Bomb. Now it’s a whole new set of clueless suits fucking with Giant Bomb. It’s the circle of capitalism.

I was in deep for GB until the Nextlander split and slowly trailed off since then. I still have mad respect for that group and follow most of them in one way or another. This is a new level of dire for them.

The Giant Bomb Preservation Project still appears to be active so… at least there’s that I guess.

Awesome. Yet another reason to donate to the IA!

Edit: Grabbed episode 888 from IA. I’m only 10 minutes in and already these guys are going for it. I love this, fuck Fandom.

Git experience is highly transferrable. Unless you have some specific use case not supported by Git, why wouldn’t you use the one where the knowledge is most likely to carry over between projects/jobs?

For anyone wondering, the game is Silent Hills. It was cancelled 10 years ago and you can still find people on eBay selling PS4s with the P.T. demo loaded on it for way too much money.
