Karen In….. SPAAAAACE

See, you’re still thinking when you ask questions

Focusing on Proton compatibility makes the most sense and benefits both users and game devs by reducing complexity.

I’ve been in this position before. It was highly satisfying to find out from colleagues that the person they hired after me couldn’t even half do my old job.

I stopped buying any games from EA, Activision and Ubisoft years back. Sony doesn’t get near as much of my business as they used to, and I’m fine with stopping altogether.

Nintendo still manages to pull me back in every time there’s a Zelda or a Metroid, but I never buy any cross platform game on their hardware anymore.

PC remains a more work intensive platform to play on, but that also brings a lot of freedom with it. So despite my preference for the ease of a console, anti consumer practices change my mind in one Hell of a hurry.

He was also on Adam Conover’s YouTube channel recently doing impressions (surprisingly well). Ed was fun to see that way. Much lighter than his newsletter

Which, credit where due, is an impressive accomplishment

That works for me. I’ve come to appreciate games that keep it short but tight over long games full of filler.

Fair

Who would want to ruin the surprise of another’s annual iPhone release? These people hate joy

I think the current AAA system should die. It’s brutal for the people making games and it’s completely unsustainable in the long run.

Modern Vintage Gamer did a video about this recently.

The MiSTer platform is still DIY even when packaged like the SS One. This isn’t going to be a problem for some, but for those of you expecting a game console out of this, I’m afraid that you’re going to be disappointed.

That said, it is still possible to add on some really great software that does polish the experience a lot. There was a recent graphical UI released for everyone, should work on the SS One as well. You’ll have to check the MiSTer forum for details on all this and do the light setup work required. It’s worth the effort, but I do understand if that’s not for you.
