I also have this happen even with the Switch 2 connected directly to my LG C4.

Perhaps a personal failing, but I can't think of many things I love that I would want to see buried and painted over. I can't think of anything I love that I need saved from the context of it's creation. But often I feel like people don't love things. They love the memory of things.

I'm thankful that there's the system level remapping functions but it's so much less elegant than having it in-game

The BDS boycott against Xbox is specifically targeted with material goals. It is not a personal purity test one imposes upon purchases for the sake of gauging idealistic commitment. You cannot "what about" with other purchases when they are not part of a legitimate organized movement.

For whatever reason, the Nintendo Store app (not the Switch app) has hours counted and even counts the amount played each day

My review of ARC Raiders is now live. It's a well designed extraction shooter. But Embark Studios' use of AI voices is indefensible in a game that has benefited so much from human speech. www.eurogamer.net/arc-raiders-...

Arc Raiders review - a smartly designed extraction shooter marred by one inexcusable decision

Rich combat and an unusually friendly community make Arc Raiders an cracking extraction shooter, but Embark Studios' continued use of AI voices is inexcusable.

if you are fine supporting that stuff or even pragmatically understand why a studio would use it, you're not any different to me than people who use chaptgpt or grok or whatever "just as a joke"

i think it's fine that my concept art friends don't have jobs anymore because they're first on the chopping block for layoffs and executives are happy to offload that shit to midjourney and pinterest!!! the game's really fun though so it's fine!!!!

i think it's good actually that a videogame prominently featuring AI voice acting is finding success while my VA friends haven't found steady work in years and have their rates forcibly ground into dust over the few reliable gigs left but hey the game is really fun right!!!!!!!

arc raiders seems to be the game that a bunch of streamers are getting the "are you going to play this??" chat and i have sort of given up on gamers in general having any sort of morals anymore but truly i will think less of anyone playing it lol

Also, depending on the number of output HDMI/DisplayPort you need, the 9060XT might not be a good fit as it only has 3 total, usually a mix of 2 of one port, 1 of the other.

McBagel @mcbagel.bsky.social · 28/10/2025

...but the 9060XT would likely be a little short on power to be able to get worthwhile performance for some games at that resolution. AMD cards currently top out at the 9070XT, and that's about a 5070ti equivalent. You'd get better performance on a 5080 or 5090 for quite a bit more money.

McBagel @mcbagel.bsky.social · 28/10/2025

If you don't have a workflow that requires an Nvidia card, the current AMD crop of RX 9060XT (16GB variant), 9070 and 9070XT are all decent for their prices (in the US at least). The 9070 vs 9070XT is only about 10-15% performance diff in favor of the XT. They all could drive a 4K60 display...

for the things I'm knowledgeable in, I know I can do a better job than the AI, and for the things I'm not knowledgeable in, I can't be sure that anything it tells me is correct. so what does that leave, generating stuff that doesn't need to be correct in the first place? it's a toy and little more

even a completely uncontroversial game, a well liked cult hit with a feel good dev story that that isn’t particularly daring or controversial in any way, is pure grist for the endless culture war. there’s no pushing back on it really. this is video games now we made our bed

My only reaction to the GTA 'news' is that it's a game not coming out for a whole year and so I cannot even begin to care about it. Do you have ANY IDEA how much stuff is coming out between now and then? In just the next month? Far as I'm concerned, it doesn't exist until the week before launch.
