Well to be fair to Molyneux, Albion just means Great Britain. That name is centuries old so anyone can use it.

Yep like how North Face replaced photos of many pages with photos that had people wearing their products in it. And this is probably just the tip of the iceberg, there must be plenty of stuff that hasn’t been caught yet.

Yeah gameplay wise the game basically leaned a lot on novelty. But they are wrong to say that it lacks world building and lore because it’s scant on narrative. That’s like saying “the Quiet Place lacks world building because there is barely any narrative”. The game is excellent in using game mechanics to tell a story. Instead of relying on the storytelling mechanics of film.

It also offers nothing compelling for the hardcore Nintendo fan unless they just like to collect Nintendo stuff. No new Zelda, Mario, Luigi, Animal Crossing or Smash. I think Nintendo completely misunderstood the market. Mario Kart 8 is the best selling game on the Switch 1. So Nintendo probably thought they should focus on MK for the Switch 2 launch. But MK8 was not the main reason people got the Switch. Like for example they got the Switch for Animal Crossing and then bought Mario Kart as a side game. Mario Kart is universally like by Nintendo fans it’s just not a game that is on top of people’s wishlist. Nintendo fans don’t want to buy a new Nintendo console just for Mario Kart or Donkey Kong.

Price isn’t the main reason why sales are dropping. I doubt that every Nintendo fan with the means to buy one already has one. Most are just waiting for a game they actually want to play.

This is even worse this is GAAP. Games as a platform like Roblox. So Fortnite is now filled with even more slop

Fortnite is turning into Roblox. You can now make games for Fortnite with Unreal Editor for Fortnite. This Steal the brain rot game is made by a third party dev.

Well in Dutch they call themselves Nederlanders or Hollanders. Though Hollanders is technically only correct if they are from the Dutch province North-Holland or South-Holland

here is a CGP Grey video about the difference between Holland and the Netherlands https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eE_IUPInEuc

And the reason why the Netherlands is also known as Holland is basically before the unification of the Low Lands every province was a self governing state and Holland was the richest province. Hence why most traders who went abroad from the Low Lands were people from Holland. It’s therefore why people abroad would call the Low Lands Holland since Hollanders were the only people from the Low Lands they met and and after the Netherlands was formed the name Holland for that area stuck in many languages.

Yeah but in that edge case SO wouldn’t help either even before the current crash. Unless you were lucky. I find LLM useful to push me in the right direction when I’m stuck and documentation isn’t helping either not necessarily to give me perfectly written code. It’s like pair programming with someone who isn’t a coder but somehow has read all the documentation and programming books. Sometimes the left field suggestions it makes are quite helpful.

It’s not really a mix-up. More a continuation of an old name for the language spoken in the Netherlands. The Dutch centuries ago called their language Diets/Duuts/Duits which means something like Germanic. This was before the countries Germany and the Netherlands existed.

Diets is not a single language but a name for all the different regional languages spoken in the low lands. Diets is also known as Middle Dutch. The name was used to differentiate the languages from the Romance languages.

Hence why the English called the people of the low lands Dutch since the people of the low lands said they were speakers of Diets/Duuts/Duits.

Also in the Dutch national anthem there is a line that says “Ben ik van Duitsen bloed” “I am of Dutch/Deutsche blood” which does not refer to modern day Deutschland but to what all Germanic people in the low lands, what is now present day Netherlands, would call themselves back then.

Bet the people that warn us about Islamification of the West are cheering this on. Same shit different toilet.

Lots of dick sucking happens during Eurovision already.

Is it right to call him a co-founder? Service Games aka Sega existed long before his company merged with Goraku Bussan, the company that owned Service Games

Penguins have made them classy for years already, long before Tucky Carlson became famous

lol Ubi. Why are they still treated as one of the big ones? Like Mojang alone is probably way more valuable than Ubi in total. They basically double A now and they should probably focus on double A productions. Also their market cap is even lower today they are a sub billion euro company now.

I think the Wii stole the momentum. PS3 and 360 were just crazy expensive compared to the Wii and the prev gen of consoles. And unlike PS2 those two consoles lacked a lot of games for kids. So for parents it was an easy decision to just get a Wii. Not to mention if you already had a PS2 you had a large library of games at your disposal and the machine was modable, it’s why it still sold very well in the end of the console’s lifetime especially in middle income regions, like it sold super well in South America. So many PS2 owners weren’t going to convert to PS3, just way too expensive and can’t play pirated games.

It will definitely boost PS5 sales. Sony loves to boast about PlayStation 2 being the best selling console in history but they conveniently leave out the reason. It’s because there are modchips and even software jailbreaks for the console. It’s why it sold super well during the end of its lifetime in low and middle income regions.

Unfortunately IO gave Conor McGregor, a grade-A asshole, a big bag of money for some dumb DLC appearance. So they never gonna get my money ever again. Who knows which asshole they are going to give it to next.
