But she's killed people on a whim...

She voted for the Iraq and Afghanistan war and countless other wars on top of it.

What makes her left-wing?

I don't care what Trumpers say; I care about what is.
What makes her left wing is that she's further left than the Republican party. And that's all it takes for them to label someone as "a radical leftwing extremist" these days.

Also that's been the prevailing Republican opinion of her looooong before Trump.

But that's not saying much.

She's an imperialist war-monger.

She's helped to de-regulate and privatize entire industries so that she and her husband can get ahead on their stocks.

I don't think her husband or her deserve violence, but I can't support these right-wing crooks any longer...
 
Yeah, I've heard bad things about that place.
Digital Foundry and guys like John Linneman do great work, it's just the discourse and some people who take that work and use it for awful console war BS and online bullshit that makes it bad.

Yeah I'm not disagreeing with you at all, I'm just saying that's what's rough about the American perspective now. We essentially have two parties, both right-wing, one's just way further to the right than the other one is, and vilifies the other side for being "too far left" even though it's not remotely left by real global standards.

What makes her left wing? The fact that our right wing is so far right that they've dragged all of politics in this country like 4 galaxies to the right. So that our left wing looks like radical right wing to the rest of the world.

It's all we have to work with at the moment though.

This is a fair point and the Trump nonsense and the movement that started after January 6th to deny the election results will only escalate things.

Frankly, I know people that have bought arms just so they can defend themselves against Trumpers and I've seen what happens when a Blue State turns into a Red State.

But I have to say that I can't seem to care much about Pelosi beyond "violence is bad." No offense to her husband, but as Speaker of the House, she could've used her influence to help shift things left but she only emboldens right-wingers by making them think that her paltry concessions are "leftist" while doing nothing to help an actual leftist movement here in the United States, one that can combat an ultra-right movement by the likes of Donald Trump or Glenn Youngkin or Rick DeSantis.

As long as Democrats, or at least most of 'em, make tentative reforms at best, nobody will lift a finger to help them in the Mid-terms and probably not even in 2024. It only shifts the country further to the right.

Well, as long as the Democrats enact right-wing policies, then I'll continue voting third-party.

I don't want to vote for people that hurt others.
 

Yeah, let the door hit you on the way out, Taylor.

But of course, on the subject of residuals; if I felt like double dipping on Bayonetta 1 and 2 for Switch physically just to complete my Trinity CE, would she get any compensation from those additional sales?

That will determine if I'm willing to pick those games up again on a current console or just reconnect my Wii U to play them.
 
I'm so glad my brain hasn't been poisoned by Digital Foundry.

I am probably the biggest antagonist of DF lately, but it's fair to say they do thorough tech reviews. Bayo 3 isn't the best performing game, however I have enjoyed the first 30 minutes. Performance is not great, as they stated.

For sure. It's less what they do specifically and more how their work is turned into console war bullshit and port-begging nonsense.

I don’t think so.

Mos Def my friend. I am totally against how they turned people's brains to mush. I tried reading SO6 impressions on an enthusiast site and walked away knowing more about what video cards people use instead of how the game plays. Everything is about performance now.
 
I know the general discussion thread is loosey-goosey when it comes to being on-topic, but I think the politics talk has gotten to be a bit much. I'm not saying the news today isn't worthy of discussion! Just maybe let's take it over to the US Politics thread, or someone can even start a thread about the assault on Paul Pelosi over in the Roost.

You're right.

At this point I only want a Switch 2 just so people can stop talking about it during every major Switch release. It's really annoying and it takes away attention from the actual games.

the literal day Switch 2 comes out and runs TotK and MP4 beautifully with enhancements

"Wow, ths is a huge improvement over the Switch! But the loadtimes and framerate don't work like the PS5 does, we could really use a Switch 2 Pro..."
 
Bayo 3 slaps, wow.

Couldn't care less about the performance btw, haven't noticed anything that feels like a drop though I'm sure there's been a ton. Goldeneye cured me of any frame rate sensitivity I may have ever had.

4 player remote mines only deathmatches. Chefs kiss Oh, and on a 16 inch screen, no less! Those were the days!

The worst thing about TechBros is that they get so offended when you don't care about specs and performance. Like 30FPS 720P is fine to me. Occasional frame drops are fine. Some pop in is fine. I really don't care unless I know the hardware can do better, then there's no excuse (looking at you Mario Kart DLC bushes). But apparently that makes me blind and/or a bootlicker. Whatever.
 
About to give a presentation to 150 people on a potential sensitive topic. Wish me luck.

Actually like doing this but always challenging when it’s a bunch of people with advanced degrees and smarter than me.
 
I'm sad because my Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous saves are possibly gone for good.

Watch when OG Steam Deck starts to have a hard time running games.

Yup, it's never them, we have "low standards"

Honestly I don’t see any reason to be angry at DF per se, yes some console war idiots use their videos to bash games, but their reviews often emphasize the qualities of a game, even when it doesn't run well. John Linneman in particular seems to really appreciate the work that studios do to get games onto a hardware as limited as the Switch. You get the sense that they are video game fans before they are tech fans.
 
I don't hate DF or anyone that works there, but the already tiresome spec wars (which to be fair have existed long before DF came into existence) have gotten at least twice as bad since they got super popular. Their videos are basically ammo at this point.

I'm gonna be honest here, Switch is the first console I played this many locked 30fps games on. That never was a thing. I don't remember any brand new PS3/360 game without serious drops and I was perfectly ok with it. It was always like this, not just PS4, PS3 and even PS2. New games push the system limits, especially late in consoles life. And yes I'm saying here, Switch fared much better than any of those.

Also Bayo 3 is not the only suspect here. Every brand new first party game (except for Mario titles) has its own problems. Life low res in Xeno 3 and Yoshi. Framerate problems in both Zelda games. Obivous stuff in Pokémon games. Meaning you know what you'll get when you're getting a Switch.

Im not sure anything comes close to early PS3/360 era Forza vs Gran Turismo when it comes to Graphics console waring, that was a straight up bloodbath.
 
I've been playing a lot of Yooka-Laylee, first time on Switch. It's never been an easy game to recommend and it's only gotten tougher now that there's more indie alternatives to 90s era platformers. But I do admire it for its ambition and I hope they will have a bigger budget and more time on the eventual followup.

Anyway, go buy Impossible Lair if you haven't already. It's really good. (Might actually do a replay soon)
 
It's a shame people use DF for console warring because their tech analysis is genuinely interesting.

I've spent 90 minutes on Bayo 3 and my biggest issue so far is the camera. And, as I felt with Xenoblade 3, I'm not sure what people expect to happen when you ramp up the scale and scope of games on aging hardware.

Yeah the camera is a bit odd. Feels much closer to Bayo then it should be, it's very hard at times to see around the character or a summon.

Have you tried messing with the camera option in the menu already? You can adjust the camera so that it pulls farther back from the character and get a fuller view of the field. Might not solve the problem entirely, but I wanted to point out that option since a few folks seem to miss this is included as an option.

Damn I should check that out, for some reason I didn't look at the options at all yet. Thanks

Man, I feel bad - but I am not really hooked by Xenoblade 3's story. I am only on Chapter 3 but, of the 3 games (excluding X), this has the weakest opening. It's a shame, too, because this is the most fun one to play.
 
Fantastic 🙂 I just learned GameStop closes at 6PM, when I had arrived at 6:20 to pick up my Trinity Masquerade CE of Bayonetta 3.

I get home, open Facebook and a shitposting group spoils the ending of the game 🙂 Neat-o.

For what it's worth, I feel like 3 has probably the weakest story of the trilogy - BUT, Chapter 3 is also where it really starts to pick up, especially with great character moments. Late Chapter 3 and the middle section is the strongest part of the game, so I'd say to keep going a bit and see if you like it!

This is reassuring. Thanks for letting me know!
