Every time I think Musk has written his stupidest Tweet he goes and proves me wrong. It's honestly impressive.

Sure, the backlog wasn't big enough. Throwing a few more games on there can't hurt.
I mean, is it too soon if people are still going to buy it? More seriously, I think one whole console generation is a good standard for remasters. Just so long as you can point to something that looks or plays better than the original did. For a remake, I think you need more time and the game your making needs to feel like it couldn't have been made on the original hardware. Either way three years feels way too soon, especially for what is essentially a next-gen port or a definitive edition.
I was laying in bed and trying to get to sleep. I kept hearing this tapping, or scuttling, noise coming from somewhere in my room, but I couldn't figure out where it was coming from. Decided it was just old house noises and tried to ignore it. Then something fell from the ceiling and landed on my face. Shouted, slapped at my face, and heard something fall on the floor. Flipped on the light and saw the roach trying to scurry away. Hit it with a book until it was dead. Maybe not the most horrifying, but it was one of the worst experience I've had with a roach, so far at least.
Not that surprising. Starfield is still in that awkward spot for Bethesda games where you have the base game, which is fine, but not much in the way of interesting mods. Meanwhile Skyrim has over a decade's worth of mods made for it. If you want to do something in Skyrim that isn't in the game chances are someone has made a mod for it. Meanwhile Starfield is just Starfield.
This is something I've noticed for a while now, but haven't been able to really describe. This shift away from clickbait headlines towards cryptic headlines that just refuse to tell you what they're talking about. Like The Best Part of Alan Wake Is Now On Youtube or The Best Soulslike Of 2023 Just Got Easier. And those are just a few that I've seen today. Maybe it will fade away like the worst clickbait headlines did or they'll just keep getting so cryptic and opaque that one day the headlines will be: Something Just Happened.
Personally, I prefer physical books, especially if it's a book that I really like. There's just something about physically having the book and knowing that you won't lose access to it unless something happens to the book. That being said most of my reading these days is digital simply due to the fact that I don't have the space for all the books I want. Ebooks are just too convenient when it comes to saving space. Still, if it's a book that I think I am going to keep coming back to then I would probably get a physical copy.
Honestly, I had forgotten that some of these games had come out this year. It just feels like there's been so many in 2023. Also pleasantly surprised to see People Make Games get nominated for Content Creator of the Year. I don't think they'll win but it is nice to see their documentaries/ deep dive investigations receive some recognition.
It's kind of crazy where Starfield is right now given the pre-release hype for it. I mean Bethesda finally releases a new singleplayer AAA RPG and it's a brand new IP. Then it only gets one nomination at the Game Awards and it isn't even likely to win that. Maybe it's a sign that people are getting tired of Bethesda's "wide as an ocean, deep as a puddle" philosophy. Or maybe this year was just so packed with releases that Starfield was inevitably going to get overshadowed.
Honestly, the only thing surprising about this is that it affected Prime Gaming staff and not divisions actively involved in game development. Hopefully the people laid off can find new work, but it feels like anyone working in the gaming industry is going to face that kind of job insecurity no matter where they go.
Elon Musk being hypocritical and petty? Shockingly Unprecedented. Then again it does give everyone another reason to just stop using Twitter.
Well. This isn't going to end well. I mean there's a tiny chance they'll be bought by someone who knows well enough to be hands off, but more likely they'll be run into the ground and then have their staff slashed as a cost-cutting measure. Hopefully things turn out all right for the people working at these sites.
