Damn it, this always happens. I think I'm gonna score, and then I never score. It's not fair.

Strong rumors going around that Amazon is acquiring EA and will formally announce today.

So what exciting ways can they find to somehow make EA even worse than it already is?

Good. They should buy Ubisoft too so we can have all the garbage quarantined.

Making the announcer say "Ama...zon...Sports. It's in the game!" would definitely be a step down.

I almost bought the Xbox fridge when I saw them at Target a couple weeks ago but passed. The box indicates it's not so much a mini fridge and more of a cooler and doesn't recommend it be connected 24/7.

A friend of mine bought one. It’s definitely a fridge. Not a very good one apparently, but it does have some sort of cooling element in it.

they should sell a full size mini fridge which is also a series x. that would be awesome.

I might actually buy a decently priced Xbox Series X chest freezer. It could be marketed to people who have their consoles sitting horizontally.

Hey gently caress you MS for sending me a notification on my phone that says "Now one Gamepass: Death Stranding"

It noted (ESRB:M | PC) after that, but for a brief second, despite being quite certain that it wasn't on xbox, I had hope.

this is mega funny to me and I’ll probably quit it very soon but I just picked up the first Assassin’s Creed game for like €3 and it looks loving unbelievably good on Series X. I think it has resolution and FPS boost and it could easily pass for an Xbox One game.

I checked the top paid games list for Soul Hackers 2. After scrolling for a while and not seeing it, I filtered to RPGs. It was second to last, only outselling a full price Warhammer game.

I got myself a Backbone and it turns out that Xbox remote gaming is way more robust than I expected, so I switched over to iPad + Bluetooth controller for better screen real estate. The service is a bit twitchy at times, and my go-to Bluetooth controller is a DualShock 4 which is naturally not configured (the central pad doesn’t register even as a press, leaving the DualShock functionally down one button) but it’s good for when you need to share a TV.

It owns a lot. I played a bunch of THPS1+2 on my couch while the TV was occupied. It's a Switch-like experience.

Now I do not know whether I was then a head coach dreaming I was a Saints fan, or whether I am now a Saints fan, dreaming I am a head coach.
My son wants me to play Dragon Quest builders nonstop and while on vacation I just brought my controller and played off my wife's laptop on streaming.

Really really solid, actually. For that type of game, basically seamless even over wifi.

Its a budget SMT game. Like, it really feels like it got a 7/10 game budget and delivered a 7/10 on that budget.

Im enjoying it but I wouldn't tell anyone to pay full price.

I forgot Soul Hackers 2 was out today, I want to get it but right now I have a pretty big backlog.

For what it's worth too the game is being reviewed very favorably on Steam.

of course it does, smt/persona is one of those franchises with superfans. they seem like good rear end games though, I just haven't gotten around to it. weird that it got like no marketing but when do they ever?

Soul Hackers 1 was a Saturn game from the 90s that had a relatively recent 3DS refresh, but it was still the same 90s cyberpunk first person dungeon crawler.

So maybe I should dig up the 3ds version and play it while I wait for 2 to hit $20 or game pass.

I am guessing Atlus wanted to do another Megaten spin-off game and just decided to revive that name. I doubt it is in anyway relevant to the story or gameplay mechanics.

Again, the first Soul Hackers was 1997 Saturn game. I think the 3DS version was regarded as a solid port, but you're probably better off exhausting all the more modern Megaten games on there first.
