GTA delayed until next May. Guess the rumors were correct.


Once a decade has lapsed between releases, what's another year?

Increased "variable" pricing is laughable. I rarely pay more than $10-20 for games now.  Early adopters are the ones getting screwed with broken, incomplete games, so why not demand they pay more for them too, lol.

As the kids would say, let them cook.

I am shocked. I bet there are a bunch of publishers fist pumping, that will open up the three months in 2025 for other games to get some oxygen -- though some will have to rush now. For the industry it' good too, as Switch 2 will provide the opportunity for increased revenues for little work -- porting a backlog of games from the last 5 years --  in 2025 and GTA6 will drive hardware sales in 2027.

So are you deskbound?

No. I don't have a desk at home. I use my OLED TV as my PC monitor. I place my wireless mouse on the armrest of my recliner and my wireless keyboard on my lap.  Been doing this since 2014.

That how I do it too. I sit at a desk long enough at work.

Keyboard on sofa? Can't you use a controller stick for movement and stuff?

Have you tried like a food lap tray for the mouse?

I could but WSAD works just fine. I have a a lap-desk but I don't use it for gaming or PC use. My keyboard is a bit smaller than most since it doesn't have the number pad, which makes it more comfortable on my lap. It lights up, so I can use it in a darkened room.

Man that Genki story is wild.

Nintendo is going in hard on them. I get that they want to protect their products and all.

But this is a company trying to make products that will benefit Switch 2 owners. And they weren't the first to put out leaks and images and mock ups of the Switch 2 either.

They played with expectations for a bit of PR and now Nintendo is trying to legally throttle them?

You can use a mouse on pretty much any surface. I use it on the flat arm of my couch, or my thigh (generally covered by fabric).

Unlike Hamster, when I play I use the controller whenever possible, practically never use mouse and keyboard, but it is still useful when using the gaming PC to watch streaming services, which since I go the Steamdeck is bascically what I use it for.

They pre-produced thousands of units for launch, months in advance and expected it wouldn't leak?

Well, on the other hand hand, it's not like Nintendo is shy about suing. They had to figure that things could play out like this.

This weekend I mostly played Civ 6. I've been deep diving into several of the game's mechanics. The deeper one looks, the more one finds.

I also booted up No Man's Sky for a bit. I don't remember how to play this game at all. Sad

It's is kind of puzzling. What did they think would happen by revealing the system before Nintendo? At best they'd lose whatever preferred vendor deal deal they had in place with Nintendo for a what? A very temporary pop in attention on social media? That was not well thought through.

Been continuing my way through Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 this weekend and absolutely loving it still. Unless things take a drastic turn for the worse this is a real consideration for my GotY.

I continued Oblivion and started Clair Obscur. I played very little to give an impression but did enjoy what I played. Unfortunately, my Game Pass will expire so I will not continue playing either of those games.

I started up Darkest Dungeon 2 this weekend. It's a pretty big change from the original. Much more roguelike than the original. Despite keeping the aesthetics the same, it's actually very different. It took a while before I understood what the hell I was doing, but after a couple hours I think I finally understand it. Most of it anyway. Seems like it'll be really good. Probably not quite as good as the original, but definitely a worthy enough follow-up.

Oh, and I moved on to Dungeon Crawler Carl book 3. Kind of surprised. I'm enjoying this as much as I am, but it's now officially how I fill my gaps of quiet time.
