Quest and Apple Vision Pro lol. The Steam release adds mouse and controller support as well now.

The spiritual successor, Thrasher, just came out on PC. People seem to have largely missed it, but I’ve enjoyed it so far.

Amazing that you determined all of that from two episodes. Thank god things can’t be layered or evolve, otherwise you might look pretty silly drawing those conclusions so hastily!

Zach you brought down Apple TV

I have them all on Warn, which I love because then you get a little section you can open up if you ever want to see a bunch of replies that just say “bitchass” and “kill yourself”

I’m still not sure to this day

I think the power ranking goes:

1) weekly
2) all at once

In the remake they turn to camera and take a refreshing sip of Prime from Logan Paul and KSI, to keep the line relevant for the youths

Unfortunately the best case scenario there is still only making hundreds of millions of dollars, whereas if you make neverending multiplayer slop, there’s a minuscule but non-zero chance it becomes an infinite money glitch. And the EV of 0.00001% of ♾️ is ♾️

Not in any important way. It’ll make background like “Auntie Cleo’s hostile takeover of Spacer’s Choice” mean something, but the PC’s story in 1 doesn’t really factor.

Video games in general right now are insanely good, which feels wrong given how much Gamers are implicated in our current predicament

Can you at least elaborate on what kind of puzzle games I should like to play it?
November 3, 2025 at 2:45 PM
Damn, I know ruminating go crazy up there

That… doesn’t make sense. That’d put the cost of the regular season at $27B+ and the total revenue of the NFL annually is $23B

I’ve played a couple games that let you customize that duration which, short of going through and manually pacing it all, seems like the best option

It… can! I’ve lived the time and cost efficient home cooking life and if resources necessitated I’d do it again, but personally I found it an absolutely miserable way to live.

As a chronic takeout overindulger, this is silly, groceries are absolutely cheaper. *However* depending on your lifestyle, the monthly delta may end up only being a couple hundred bucks, and at that point it’s a question of is the time you get back worth that to you

The claim that 30+ people were all committing gross misconduct to the level of bypassing all normal disciplinary channels and moving directly to termination is just farcical. Idk what Canadian or UK labor courts look like, but that feels like obvious wrongful termination at minimum.

That’s a smart observation. It’s not just annoying—it’s actively harmful.

Helps me appreciate the perspective of “technically excellent but completely missed its target for me” that this essay is technically excellent but completely missed its target for me. (I’m being glib. There was a lot still worthwhile in there)

DualSense behavior is flaky over Bluetooth IME. If you have any xinput controller (any controller that’s not made by Sony or Nintendo) they’re typically more reliable for those uses. The one thing you could try is checking on a PS5 or PC if there’s a firmware update for the controller available.

Yeah I am definitely in the camp of I still love a lot of that music to this day, but if you weren’t there for it there’s simply no reason on Earth to subject yourself to that
October 29, 2025 at 6:46 PM
I appreciate the responses here demonstrating this for me lol
See I was born then and I’ve heard people say 2005 is the exception to that rule because nobody rides for the awful music of the mid aughts. Unfortunately I absolutely do, much to the consternation of anyone with taste.
