I will never make a book post. The only book I’ve read in my life is the Elder Scrolls IV strategy guide

Haven't read it but I can already guarantee it's better than anything Neal Stephenson's ever written.

It’s funny how in all these discussions about companies buying other companies no one suggests or mentions Ubisoft. I’m not suggesting or an amazing untapped value, just it’s funny their name isn’t even being mentioned, despite being a large publisher and developer.

Ubisoft spent a better part of the previous decade trying to get out of a corporate takeover. They probably don't have an interest in selling since their strategy is to release to literally any platform, including Switch streaming and Stadia.

There have been attempts to acquire them before and Yves and his family managed to successfully thwart the takeover and everyone cheered but now it turns out that they're really awful people I hope someone acquires them and gives them the boot so their developers can work in a safer environment. I don't know who would really want them though :shrug:

encountered some weird poo poo with my Series X today. turned it on, got prompted to install a controller update, also updated some random MS Store service, and then it stopped reading discs. I had been playing Midnight Club: LA last night, and it wouldn't recognize the disc at all. so then I wondered if my disc got hosed up somehow, but it looked perfectly fine, so I tried putting Just Cause 3 in there thinking it was an issue with the 360 disc. that wouldn't recognize either!

went through the support page for disc issues on the MS website, it recommended putting my console in power-saving mode (it was already set up that way) and, of course, turning the console off and back on again. then after I turned it on again, suddenly I couldn't access poo poo. the Store wouldn't load even though I was connected to XBL and could see my friends list. out of sheer frustration I yanked the power cable out the back, waited a minute, and plugged it back in

sure enough, when it turned back on, it showed Just Cause 3 in the drive and I could access the store again. so just a heads up to anyone who encounters something similar, ignore all the poo poo on MS' website and just unplug the fucker :cheersdoge:

They were doing it before it was cool, staving off hostile purchase by french conglomerate vivendi for most of the last decade.

American publishers are less interested. They have a employee union for their core teams in france so they are radioactive to non french buyers

List of random and weird things that was solved by a hard reboot/unplug on my Xbox

Internet not connected (you're on an ethernet line, fucker and I know it ain't the router)

Game tiles not showing properly (cannot find games)

Game taking too long to launch (literally when it takes too long and closes the game)

Dashboard not showing everything it normally does

So I'm playing Dangaronpa but I'm not going in blind. I dated a girl that was super into it and also I watched an LP of Ultra Despair Girls, Christ, 7 years ago. I know who the big bad is and I have some vague recollections of stuff but I'm not sure how much that is going to effect my play though because drat there are a lot of characters. Has anyone else played this?

You misunderstand, Activision means so very little to me. But yeah I'd be hard pressed to call this a W for the industry at large. Look around, the lukewarm response to this is indicative of genuine concern that a huge shift is coming industry-wide, with tons of lost jobs, a general creative stagnancy, and raised prices on goods and services to show for it. Meanwhile, the actual progress that was being made from within for better conditions, accountability for execs within the toxic culture, a growing pressure from workers for unionisation at one of the key nodes within in the industry, etc, has pretty all much been sent into a death spiral. Kotick, repulsive to the last, gets half a billion to step aside as a scapegoat for what were systemic issues.
