store costs to developers/publishers are insanely high for a digital distribution platform

Isn’t the 30% cut what basically everyone takes? AFAIK GOG, Ubisoft, EA and all three console manufacturers take the same share.

Besides Epic only itch.io with their choose your share system and Discord (do they even still sell games?) take/took less.

No, no, you have to delete your git config. That’s part of the challenge.

I’m also back on 60 Hz on my 160 Hz monitor because of this challenge. So cute though.

+1 for Cherrytree, I can even recommend it on Linux. The tree structure makes it so much better to sort things than OneNote with the limited depth.

the line is stating opinion as fact
I totally understand what you mean and I usually don’t like it either but I think this post is easily recognized as an highly subjective opinion. So I’m fine with the way it’s written and wouldn’t take it as a fact.
review bombing
This is definitely not what review bombing even means (yes, that’s a fact).

Isn’t that exactly what lead us to the “every AAA game is an 8/10” meta of current videogame reviewing? I think it’s totally valid to make subjective game reviews. Big outlets trying to make their reviews objectives is IMHO the reason why they are totally worthless (for me).

It’s not that long ago that I played both KOTOR games for the first time and I have to agree that the game might not be that intuitive by today standards. But now after a lot of people played BG3 it might be not that hard anymore to figure this game out.

Switch Color

Today SD is actually cheaper per gb than Blu-ray.

Just checked Amazon prizes for the first best SD card and Bluray disc. This is a lie. Discs are still less than half the prize.

And you didn’t take into consideration that it’s much cheaper and faster to press the data onto the disc than writing on an SD card when you do that in great numbers.

I agree, but what are alternatives for people who want a written text?

When I’m on the balcony or visiting family for a weekend. Smartphone usually don’t come close to the quality of the games you can get on the Switch.

I think game and engine developers should do both. If it’s possible to improve efficiency and performance it should be done. But at the same time hardware is improving as well and that performance gain should be used.

I’m kinda worried a little bit about the recent development in hardware though. At the moment GPU power mostly increases with energy consumption and only a little with improved architecture. That was different some years ago. But in my eyes thats a problem the hardware manufactorera have, not the game developers.

The thought that today’s state of technology is enough and we should stop improving sounds pretty Amish to me.
