Edge had a good interview with the civ 7 boss. Expect changes. They said they've limited themselves to only changing a third of the game. The new leaders aspect looks positive.

As a lifelong Atari fan, I'm quite happy to hear they're doing well now and were able to carve out their own profitable niche in the industry. 👍

Switch 2 reveal was very basic. Not much to show if you aren't showing the games, we knew it would just be like the switch again, no new gimmick. Doesn't help when the first game you show can be confused for the current Mario kart game. Like GG said, it's weird to do this with zero info, this was all pointless. Just a get off our backs till April 2nd.

Retro Gamer -- or Edge had a good interview with the young CEO. His heart appears to be in the right place and he has made some smart moves with what they cancelled and what they aquired.  Year before last they almost broke even, so it is good to see them head in the right direction.  Buying Moby games to preserve credits was smart, it could be as imortant as IMDB fairly soon. And buying Atari Age to ensure it lives on was a great nod to the community.

When I saw that we won't hear anything else until April I assumed they got the Australian dates wrong and surely what they meant was we'll find out more on February 4th.  Do they really think they can throw up a 2 minute teaser reel and then sit back for 3 months?  It certainly looked like a "Break Glass in Emergency" move just to shut down the leaks.

If I were them I would have sent to the third party publishers "if you announce your game ahead of our Direct, you are dead to us" e-mail.

Third parties should open the floodgates.

It's seriously looking like the best 3rd party support Nintendo’s had since like the SNES.

I've seen multiple videos of games running on switch 2 equivalent hardware (usually a lot worse) and it can run almost anything at 1080p looking good.

You shouldn't have these blurry ports anymore, though I imagine some will exist.

With Microsoft and Square Enix coming over and EA coming back there's tons of potential.

That article is a solid reminder of why the internet has gotten so stupid. You don't need good content, you just need content. Quality is irrelevant.

On that note, I really should finish that top 100 list.

No news apart from Silksong being shown at the April N.direct.

There's a Nintendo switch focused direct in February according to Nate the Hate and PH Brazil.

So deep on my list of things I thought I'd never do in a videogame:

I just inserted a dead fetus in a jar into the open, gaping vagina of an obese, female devil.

The vagina ate it.

Gray Dawn.

I'm awaiting the payoff, then the post game explanation videos on YouTube. All these walking sims need explaining.

Earlier I entered an ornate looking brothel hellscape. Maybe media has desensitised me, but it looked pretty cool. Aside from blob monster.

^Thanks for that Travo, I was wondering the size difference between Steam Deck and S2.

Hey Robio, Sorry to see your platform delivering you 70 cents a day went away. Time to gather up your bindle and hobo over to twitch.

Thanks. I was up to a whopping $15 overall. Clearly it was my ticket to Easy Street.

That said, I am unhappy to see the platform gone. It was easier for me to find an audience there than on other apps. Better algorithm and leas competition. I'm dusting off the Twitch account tomorrow though, and see if I can find anyone there now that I have a little bit better of an idea on what I'm doing. Not crossing my fingers though.

Looking at the fires in SoCal. I remember a long time ago when the US took over Baghdad when they kicked out Hussein. And the Iraqi's were perplexed that after a month that they still did not have power or water restored or highways cleared.  I saw an interview with one of them and they were like, "You're the USA, what's the hold up?" and then went on that they have the internet and movies and see what America is capable of -- just give us first world already!  You guys can do anything.

Then you have these moments like Katrina, or Hawaii's fires or LA burning for a week and I feel a lot like that Iraqi. But we all move on and ho-hum and focus more on TikTok going away, which is the result of the executive, congress and judicial arms of our government working in unison on our behalf, and don't focus on one of the worst fires in California history, and certainly the worst in LA's history.

At least the Australian Open has some good tennis this year, and I've got to get back to Spiritfarer. I cannot beleive this came out in 2020, I only started hearing people talk about it last year.

I was listending to some commentary on what makes TikTok different, and basically it came down to they deliver content honed to you , with no conflict whereas the meta and twitter platforms thought that atagonising users with surfacing contrary views increased engagement.  (Basically trolls get more repsonses than chill users).  Which is why people who use TikiTok see a mirror of themselves.  If you are a leftist you think TikTok is biased to the left, if your a conservative you think TikTok is conservative.  Pretty easy to see why it flared up as an alternative that had to be stopped.  They could not outspend meta, alphabet and microsoft though (who could) in terms of govenment influence.

Keep in mind I use none of these, (except YouTube) so I speak from a place of complete ignorance.
