i've played about ten matches of overwatch 2 beta now. push is a great mode and i'm glad it's there. the fights do feel a little less interesting because it's almost always a direct engagement instead of any more interesting maneuver. the "circuit royal" escort map looks like a slot car on a track which is cute.

pirating tv and movies is probably easier than ever and has legitimate benefits over the official services. for example they love to do asinine poo poo like give certain clients (i.e. browsers) 2 channel/highly compressed audio instead of 5.1. so even if you pay for the service, you're getting short changed for no reason. the pirates fix this for you by offering a selection of formats. video game piracy is a hassle and you (mostly) get the best version of the game when you pay for it.

jesus WEP posted:i lost the will to jump through game piracy hoops so long ago and im not going to relearn now same and I'm so behind on games that the ones I want to play are in bundles with more games I wanted to play. i maybe buy one or two release year games and that's on a steam sale AnimeIsTrash posted:I need to break the rule otherwise I can never purchase switch games. if it's not on steam it's the same for me, but they're all decent games. not like you could buy a game with a bomb release like 2077 on a switch anyways

there are a small number of exceptions, but for the most part the only games you should buy on the switch are switch exclusives

advertisers already know that advertising does little to nothing and they keeps spending the money because they like having a job in the advertising department

every few years some big advertising firm runs a study that conclusively proves the most profitable forms of advertising don't actually work, and then ignores the results

remember when facebook single-handedly ruined the internet by straight-up lying about how effective video content was? remember how all the mba brains doubled down on video content even after it was revealed to be a complete lie?

Is the Quest 2 still the best bang for buck VR headset out there? Not optimistic about facebooks future so might be a time to pick up a pair to hack into

PS+ games for next month (well, this month) a bunch of gently caress-all once more. (You might think FIFA 2022 would be something, but literally literally everyone who has a PS4 or PS5 and wants to play FIFA already has it.)
