I thought you were talking about backseat driving at first and was getting increasingly and increasingly confused as I read this

I've decided that the video of the McDonalds CEO hesitant to take a microscopic bite of their new "product" was actually marketing genius.

I was so curious about why he didn't want to eat it that I ended up spending $12 on an aggressively mediocre burger that made me ill.

oh man I miss that gold plastic with the shiny bits that rub off super easily

Windows 40,000 rumored to be powered by a rotting carcass held in life by the marvels from the Dark Age of Technology and the daily sacrifice of a thousand souls

I'm only slightly bitter the first Ratchet and Clank game we're getting in 5 years will be a mobile exclusive touchscreen only F2P (potentially P2W) area shooter

Part of my beef with liveservice games is the wasted potential.

A game with a really cool concept could be destroyed by a grindy gameplay to encourage people to spend money or lock cool characters behind a paywall.

Not to mention a good IP/studio having resources diverted to making such a game

"But [waifu slot machine] is better than [decade-late overwatch clone]"

I'm glad we're still getting games worth sabotaging sleep schedules over

I refuse to play Avowed simply because Windows game me a pop up ad for it on the taskbar. I thought I had accidentally installed adware.

I knew they had been cramming ads in the bloated start menu for a while, but adding "recommended software" to the notifications center is a whole new level.

I really like the "game has been in early access without updates" warning on Steam. What ever happened to Rolled Out anyways? I was really looking forward to it.

Browser Super Monkey Ball now has online multiplayer!
(And a few other things.)

Play now!

Next they'll say it has more games than the PS3

Dreams on PC would be amazing. It felt weird on the PS4 because the creator was so powerful. On the PC it would suit well as a simple game engine and make external exporting etc more feasible.

not that it would ever happen but I really hope Sony puts Dreams on PC at some point since it's the only remaining version they have of this concept at this point

Dreams was cool but I think it was too robust for its own good. Creating stuff felt daunting and the resulting creations were complex enough that an author would be justified in asking to release/sell them externally.
I think LBP2 straddled the line of creative freedom without too much complexity.

I really miss the "play create share" era of PlayStation games. LittleBigPlanet and ModNationRacers were my jam. I bet they would have been recieved really well if they were released today. It's a shame that most zany customization in online games has been scrapped in lieu of microtransactions.

Young Man: That you Ms Green? I see Red roped you into this too

Green: An M&Ms work is never done. GameStop should be just up ahead

YM: I thought I smelt something

Green: The bastard behind the counter has Bambi on the PS2. If you come back empty handed you know what that means

YM: Yeah, trouble

Making this post has motivated me to dig up my Vita and play some games

Everyone's talking about how vanillaware games need to be ported to PC but I'm still waiting for Muramasa Rebirth to get ported to a more modern console with broader support.

I absolutely love my Vita but It's really a shame a lot of its library isn't available elsewhere.

The catch: the only game is Twisted Metal

Also it's not a game

This is from my local amateur hockey team back in the states. Wtf is going on back there?

These ads I've been getting for "Holy Trading Cards" are something I'd expect from a @criminalsimpsons.com post

What's this Mighty Number 9 ripoff

SALVATION

getting overencumbered midway through exploring a dungeon and trying to decide between dropping a pile of alchemy ingredients or 5 welkynd stones

I would also watch the ensuing atrocity guide video
