@FaiqYasen @Wario64 It's not "anti-consumer" to give consumers a reason to buy into your ecosystem. Lack of good exclusives is fundamentally what lead Xbox to where they are now. You don't understand what the word means.

@Wario64 This is an anti consumer move. You are cutting off a significant portion of your player base on PlayStation and for what? So weirdos online have “muh exclusive “ games for their stupid console war BS?

According to Jeff Grubb, Gears of War: E-Day will not release on PS5. "Gears of War E-Day was gonna be on PS5. It's not anymore. That just happened. That was a decision that just got made." via Giant Bomb @ Nite Day 2 youtube.com/watch?v=XPKk-c…

@BitLeedsy @velaerad @Microinteracti1 Forgot to mention it goes very well with earl grey too

@BitLeedsy @velaerad @Microinteracti1 You eat brunost on a slice of the coarsest wholegrain bread with the saltiest, best aged butter (Kviteseidsmør), and it goes well with milk, coffee and hot chocolate

🇳🇴 Completely agree. Been to Norway several times - easily the worst grocery market in Western Europe. The Finns call it the last Soviet Union, and they’re not wrong. Four chains carve up the country like a planned economy, hiding behind tariff walls that slap 277%+ on European cheese to protect an agricultural sector that couldn’t compete with a mid-sized Danish farm. One of the richest countries on earth, eating like it’s 1987.

@BitLeedsy @velaerad @Microinteracti1 The normies don't know the whey

@Jotlar @velaerad @Microinteracti1 You lost me at “normies” 😂👋 Ffs.

@BitLeedsy @velaerad @Microinteracti1 A lot of normies (non-turophiles) nowadays hardly know about half of those cheeses within Norway, let alone foreigners, but they're there if you look. Brunost is being exported to South Korea now, where it's trendy, but otherwise a lot of the cheeses are hidden gems still.

@Jotlar @velaerad @Microinteracti1 Why do they not get exported then? The cheese world is one of the most international where there’s variety in most markets.

@BitLeedsy @velaerad @Microinteracti1 Tariffs≠closed market. You'll find most of the usual suspects (brie, camembert, feta, edamer, blue cheese, chèvre, cheddar, parmesan etc.) on top of Jarlsberg and the traditional pultost, brunost, skjørost, surmyssmør, gammalost, søst/gomme etc. which you won't find elsewhere.

@Jotlar @velaerad @Microinteracti1 If you opened up the market, it feels like everything would beat it! 😄

@BitLeedsy @velaerad @Microinteracti1 Nothing beats pultost. The typical continental cheeses everyone already knows about, even "aquired tastes" like the Sardinian casu merzu, but Norway has traditional cheeses that are novel to outsiders. Brunost even made a big hit in South Korea for some reason

@velaerad @Microinteracti1 So the “famous” Norwegian cheeses are better than what the French, Italians, Spanish, Dutch, Irish, on and on produce? I’ve been and the Norwegian stuff is mostly guff.

@Rustolla76 @LinuxMostly @carygolomb My point was at any rate not at all that the Steam Deck doesn't have a big enough library, but that the hardware itself is not up to snuff even for current gen AAA. You do want a handheld that handles both indie, AA and graphically demanding AAA now and moving forward.

@Rustolla76 @LinuxMostly @carygolomb Not talking about the totality of the PC library, which is orders of magnitude bigger, just recent-ish, platform-agnostic, handheld-optimised, controller-centric games of some repute. The kind of game you'd actually want to play on either Switch or Steam Deck, not Dwarf Fortress.

It is such a crazy time that I'm actually saying out loud, actually don't even bother getting a Steam Deck OLED, just get the Xbox ALLY X

@Rustolla76 @LinuxMostly @carygolomb I already admitted it can't play PC exclusives, which goes without saying. But the vast majority of the same AA and indies are on there anyway. So instead of playing game A and B on both PC and Steam Deck, I'd rather make a choice and play game A on PC and game B on Switch 2

@Jotlar @LinuxMostly @carygolomb By all means completely ignore the fact it can't play PC games. Because on a closed ecosystem. 🙄🙄🙄🙄 F'ing Nintendo peeps I swear.

@LinuxMostly @Rustolla76 @carygolomb Yeah, the Steam Deck is too outdated for current gen AAA, and grossly overpriced now. Steam Machine will be the same story, yet neither is necessary for a Steam launcher or SteamOS anyway. Valve fanboys ignore facts and are oddly protective of their hardware for some reason.

@Jotlar @Rustolla76 @carygolomb For sure. Switch 2 is going to be an indie machine just like Switch. But we're going to see even more AAA games on it this gen. Switch 2 is lead platform for CoD MW4 and Indiana Jones and Pragmata both run great (best experience on a handheld for sure). Luv Steam too though.

@Rustolla76 @LinuxMostly @carygolomb Heck, even a graphically simple indie game like Mins the Hollower is better on Switch 2 because you can do 120 Hz both handheld and docked. Almost any indie darling, AA hidden gem and especially newer AAA is simply a lot better to play on Switch 2

@Jotlar @LinuxMostly @carygolomb CAN I PLAY PC GAMES ON THE SWITCH 2. It's really that simple. You like the Switch 2 that's fantastic. It is not a substitute when it can't do the same thing. Just like I wouldn't buy a steam deck to play Nintendo games.

@Rustolla76 @LinuxMostly @carygolomb You obviously can't play the odd PC exclusive but you can play better versions of multiplat AAA games. A handheld should be complementary with its own unique gimmicks and exclusive games. Saying UE5 is trash is cope when Switch 2 handles a game like Indiana Jones a lot better.

@Rustolla76 @LinuxMostly @carygolomb The RDNA 2 APU is outdated and has the shittiest upscaler in FSR1-3 (DLSS, XeSS, MetalFX, literally all other scalers are preferable). Look at current gen games like Star Wars Outlaws and Indiana Jones, Switch 2 and think again. The Steam Deck handles UE5 like trash in comparison

@Jotlar @LinuxMostly @carygolomb Still wrong. The AAA gaming on the Switch is Nintendo IPs. If you like Nintendo the Switch is great. If you like all the other AAA titles available for a hand held. You get a Steam deck or a ROG Ally.

@Rustolla76 @LinuxMostly @carygolomb I know but for me Steam is the go to for PC games meaning I play them on gaming desktops or laptops, not handhelds, while Switch 2 is much better specced for handheld AAA gaming too, not just Nintendo IP.

@Jotlar @LinuxMostly @carygolomb You must not have ever used Steam. There's thousands if hundreds of thousands of games. I'm a console player btw. PC by far offers the most games & the most variety. The Switch 2 is great for playing rehashed Nintendo IPs.

@DiffusionFurry @AncientArgonaut @Wario64 GBC games were never intended to be displayed on a CRT anyway, although it was possible on the SNES. There are other filters they could add, emulating different kinds of old LCD screens, like the Analogue Pocket. Main issue is such low res doesn't scale great to massive screens

@AncientArgonaut @Wario64 This game would be amazing with some proper CRT shaders/filters but the devs didn't bother adding any.

Mina the Hollower has sold around 55k copies on Steam this morning (no data yet for consoles). “If we don’t sell a million copies, I’m going to be disappointed” - Yacht Club Co-Founder Sean Velasco More from Bloomberg: bloomberg.com/news/newslette…

@Rustolla76 @LinuxMostly @carygolomb No, but you could use the opportunity to find new games incl. exclusives you haven't already played in your Steam library, instead of buying a $7-800 overpriced device to play the same games you're already playing on PC. Switch 2 also has DLSS and punches way above its weight

@LinuxMostly @carygolomb I can play Steam games on a Switch 2? You Nintendo peeps are a special kind of dumb.

@CZ662C F_T_Bというアメリカ人のユーチューバーが80-90年代の日本のパソコン業界、パソコンゲーム、同人ソフトなどについてドキュメンタリーを作ってアップしているんですが、自販機TAKERUの動画も2年前アップしたんですが、ニッチな話題のせいか再生回数があいにく少ない youtube.com/watch?v=E1_JBK…

海外の人にも日本のパソコンソフト自販機「TAKERU」を知って欲しい！ 1986年稼働開始。 代金を入れるとFD等のメディアが出てきて、それにゲーム等のプログラムを書き込む仕組み。 マニュアルは内蔵のプリンタで印刷。 非常に画期的な装置でしたが商業的には成功せず、1997年にサービスを終了しました。

Out now! We discuss Chip-Chan Kick! on our latest PC-FX Fan Club #podcast. It's a colorful and cute single screen #arcade-style game full of #90s #anime charm. Please watch and share! #PCFX #RetroGaming #ClassicGames #RetroJapan #JapanGaming #レトロゲーム youtu.be/_UoxU8S6Mis
