Wii U Mario Kart 8 got an update, probably Splatoon too, servers are back for now

@Ronnie21093 Pokémon go got a lot of people walking around and going outside.

@slash @jeff they are straying away from Xbox as a console, though, even going as far to say they lost the console war. And both Nvidia/Microsoft have streaming services, but how many people actually use them? If everyone was REQUIRED to use them it would be really bad and they would end up seeing less profit as well since a lot of people just can't stream that kind of stuff at an acceptable level. I've also seen Xbox servers really struggle when the player count gets high, and that is not even streaming, that's just a lot of very low data connections.

I think they could perhaps make the OS itself streaming but require actual storage space for things like games and have it directly play in an offline version of the OS that is stripped back or something, but that doesn't seem like it would be worth it to implement. Streaming a whole OS is either for super niche cases or turbo normies, so anyone doing anything more intensive than browsing the web with it will be a complete loss for MS if they ever went fully down that route.

@BlinkRape idk why he would be jealous of it though, the whole game was pretty much his idea and Cuthbert and co just executed on it.

@BlinkRape i think he's just got a serious case of wanting control over everything because he thinks he knows what is best.

@Mr_NutterButter i'm all over the place lol, just send me a message whenever you feel like it and i'll respond whenever i can xD

@Mr_NutterButter i did! it only grew over time, too. it started out pretty basic, but when i started running a d&d campaign in that world it fleshed it out so much more. if you have any questions about the world/lore itself or how i went about creating it i'd be happy to tell you :)

my idea has always been to focus more on the world itself rather than the main story. that's why there are so many optional side quests and dungeons. i think the main story is about 6 hours if you know what you're doing, but doing all the side stuff i hope takes at least 3x that long just because there is so much of it, and it's all pretty unique imo.

Miyamoto did some amazing stuff to help jump start the video game industry. He's an absolute legend, and I do agree that focus on gameplay should always be paramount. However, he's also done a lot to detract from modern games, with his weird fascination with gameplay gimmicks. This is most felt with games like Link's Crossbow Training or, at its worst, Star Fox Zero. Star Fox in general has been a complete punching bag for Miyamoto, even affecting other completely unrelated titles like Dinosaur Planet.

i didn't even know that baldur's gate 3 came out yet! i thought it was coming out in like september lol.

i won't be able to play it for a while, probably. i've still got ratchet and clank, tears of the kingdom, and need for speed unbound to finish. not to mention i haven't actually completed all the available stuff in onirism yet. and starfield is coming out soon! man, this year has been PACKED with video games for me!

ON TOP OF THAT i'm working like a dog on my game! what the hell! things need to chill out a little bit xD

@Mr_NutterButter in high school i definitely had a shit ton of wristbands lol. not bead ones like in the thumbnail image but those rubber ones from bands and such. i only really stopped wearing them because they snapped over time and i didn't want to just buy new ones online or something xD i had some wacky checkered jeans too lol.

my clothing style has always been a mixed bag lol, but it looks normal enough on the surface xD mostly black, band and game t shirts, either converse or vans for my kicks. i'm always wearing a hat or beanie. it's a weird hybrid between skater and geek, i guess.

fucking MEGALOVANIA has 103m. idk why but i guess i just didn't think that devil may cry was THAT popular.

@lamp i thought i saw a setting somewhere for that, maybe you have to right click it or something like that?

wow. bury the light from dmc5 has 100m views on youtube. that's a pretty substantial amount of views for a video game track.

for comparison, bfg division from doom 2016 has 41m. it has to be this way from mgr has 43m.

at fall out boy/bring me the horizon, i had the shirt i had bought just chillin right behind me and the people i were with (who had very little or no concert experience) were super worried that someone was going to just steal it from behind me.

i told them that i'd be more worried about that if it were a justin bieber concert lol.

seriously, the more metal/punk/emo bands and the culture of the people who go to their shows are always so much more respectful. everyone's always there to make sure everyone else has a good time.

you see people getting completely trampled and dying at travis scott but if ONE person goes down at a metal concert, everyone makes room for them and helps them up and gets whatever they need. often times the bands will even stop playing if they have to so that they can get everyone's attention to help someone out. it's awesome.
