@IsaacClarke_117 @GameSpot Yeah, irrelavent. If the physical goods go up, Sony, MS et al will raise the digital prices as well. There's no reason not to.

Trump's New Tariffs Could Lead To More Expensive Video Games, Expert Says ift.tt/LgEu1wI

@galacticwhale @manfightdragon 1) 5 year old tweet, mate. 2) That has nothing to do with it. It's something that dates back to the 80s.

@DragonNexus @manfightdragon That's what happens when they focus mainly on making games for out of date peasant boxes.

I patched Bloodborne to run at 60fps. It works alright (about as good as the Dark Souls 3 PS4 Pro patch does) except for the fact that the game doesn't have proper timing and the entire game basically runs in fast-forward. This is running on a base PS4.

@ZephyrionVortex @GameSpot That argument has been debunked so many times I can't be arsed to do it again. Google it if you're interested.

@DragonNexus @GameSpot There should be copyright for peoples original art,that doesnt mean Ai is an overall negative. Also its questionable how"original"art is these days,all art made today has similarities to art before it, should those artists pay royalties to whose art theirs is similar to?

Study Finds Majority Of Game Dev Companies Use Generative AI Already Despite Worker Concerns ift.tt/uJlTGO1

@taliblond @howardchief @bensiegel @Politics1com Okay, nice and simple. The USA demands goods from Mexico pay 25% extra. So...those goods will *cost* 25% more to recoup the cost. So if a product was $10 and they need to pay a $2.50 tarrif to get it into stores, it will now be $12.50 in the store, at least.

Prices, taxes, tariffs — all are always too high I’d prefer price ceilings, massive income taxes on everyone else, no tariffs or sales tax on any good, and for my house and my investments to always go up But I don’t live in fantasyland, so it’s a matter of which trade policy one prefers — and I’m not opposed to tariffs as policy, even if it might impact a specific price of a specific purchase I make For the same reason others would pay more for things or policies they prefer, I’m not a mutant from a different planet or anything

Trump says he will enact 25% tariffs on Mexico and Canada on February 1st

@tGalloZ @LonelyGoomba And hey, no-one flossed this time!

@LonelyGoomba it was funny how a lot of people were expecting Sonic 3 to have a lot of pop culture references garbage and at least for me I didn't see any at all. And now all these deleted scenes are all those references that we were expecting to be in the actual movie lol.

I gotta be real, almost all of these deleted scenes were absolutely right to be removed. One of the issues I have with Sonic 3 is that cool serious moments are undercut with jokes that hurt the momentum. (say, the Eggman spanking scene). A problem these scenes also have.

@LonelyGoomba Funny by itself...but a weird thing if it was left in. Why would you shout at something and point a gun at it...if you wanted a selfie?

@napikins @LonelyGoomba Guess it depends how old you are, maybe? I'm 40 and felt some of the comedy was a bit...ehhh. But maybe if I was 8 still I'd have loved it.

*Sonic 3 spoilers* Gerald being silly and nice to Robotnik to use him, only for him to actually be dead inside and suicidal is a good twist. But from that reveal onwards I would've preferred he just be a straight up villain and not goofy right after. Mask off sorta thing.

@LonelyGoomba Yeah, I felt the same way. I wish Gerald had become the cruel, cynical character he became in the original SA2. We never really saw him in that but he had such a cold menace to him. The goofy cartoon fight was very tonally off, as you say.

@JesseCox GTA5 was THE most successful piece of media ever created in the history of man kind. Oh but GTA6 might need to cost more because it was a bit expensive to make. The only reason that could possibly make sense is if they spent more than GTA5 made them to make GTA6.

Some of these replies and retweets saying I'm not considering inflation and how game prices haven't changed in years... NEITHER HAS THE MINIMUM WAGE. Why you defending 100 dollar games and not paying people enough to afford them?!?!?!

Anyone telling you to "do the math" or "worth it for the price considering all you get" is a shill for the corpos. Absolutely screw this noise. GTA 6 execs chose to dump a ludicrous load of cash into the game. It's not on the player to recoup their poor money management skills.

@ZephyrionVortex @GameSpot Not the same thing.

@GameSpot People against Ai are incredibly naive and contradictory. Without ai techs like DLSS would not be possible.

@Jeremypacheco @GameSpot Why? Because you distrust the word of someone who has studied something for decades compared to your study period of...0?

@GameSpot Anything that has the phrase "Expert Says" should be ignored.

@Jack_Package_1 @AlexTownley227 @GameSpot God, imagine having notable pansexual icon Deadpool as your profile picture and being this stupid.

@BadMedicalTakes It's beautiful, really.

@theserfstv Like, it's not even the same hand gesture. And of course, the right will ignore reality (a clear "Come here, let me put my arm around you" gesture) for the comforting fiction of Elon not just giving the whole game away.

There's a reason none of them post the video and only post stills

@Tychodragonfan @GameSpot weird.

@GameSpot japanese perfection who in their right mind wouldn’t be pumped

Early Nintendo Switch 2 Reactions Are Largely Positive, With Some Skepticism ift.tt/PT7x4Fk

@Jomagonax @theserfstv Is he a historian? Because his profile says he's a Japanese language teacher.

You all lost your shit because there was a Black samurai and lied that Japanese people were upset about the lack of representation. Now there's more Japanese characters on the cover and it's the 'Karate Kid'?! Can you pick a lane?

@theserfstv It's about throwing stuff at the wall until something sticks. They just desperately want something to argue with and scream at and so far none of it's working.

@grumpigman @TheNCSmaster Again....they wrote it that way. They didn't have to write it that way. You're talking about it like it's a historic event, not something somebody CHOSE to have happen through writing.

While I generally agree with this, I don’t like how people use it to brush off a game having a weak story when it could be so much more Zelda has so much untapped potential with lore and story, and the fact Nintendo barely cares is the worst thing about the franchise ATM
