Glad we made the move, glad he has a couple of years on his contract at (what I think is) a reasonable AAV so it's not just a rental in exchange for what we gave.

Right, and I wish those sorts of visits were still the model in this case. But no we weren't given any advanced access to raids.
Unusual but Marathon itself is a genuine outlier, I think. We agreed to these terms because situation is in line w/ Destiny 1, where Raids were novel to the FPS genre, and the addition of the first one (Vault of Glass), which came post-release, did materially change our verdict on the game.
what's cool about webp is that no one likes it and no one has ever asked for it
Couldn't restrain myself and made this into a Linkedin post
Thank you. Michigan but my grandma is from Missisippi, along with tons of other people in the Detroit area.
How'd it go

Liked this bit. Related thing I think a lot of the modern internet, media included, me included, are guilty of is attributing a cultural event or trend to a handful of threads on Reddit or, at worst, a single popular post. In reality "players" have never been more fragmented, non-monolithic
Wrote about what it means that Concord — a game that famously nobody played — has become one of the primary lenses through which video games are discussed today.
(Also some stuff toward the end about what's next for ReaderGrev...)

Listen up nerds, MENACE is good. It's like if you smashed modern XCOM or Jagged Alliance into the idea of Advanced Squad Leader in the most successful way.
Oh that's a better comparison, yeah. Dizzy has had an inexplicably long life. Random game from that period that also came to mind for me was Captain Comic. www.youtube.com/watch?v=SZW0...
Not a lot of egg-based late-'80s platformers to pick from specifically, but Commander Keen is maybe the closest thing?
"Xbox, like a lot of businesses that aren’t the core AI business, is being sunsetted. They don’t say that, but that’s what’s happening. I expect that the new CEO, Asha Sharma, her job is going to be as a palliative care doctor who slides Xbox gently into the night."

Look, there is precedent: we all remember Herbert Hoover dousing members of Team USA in champagne when they won in 1960
Did you see that Kash Patel was in the locker room with them? Imagine the head of the KGB in a Russian locker room, such an uncomfortable piggybacking nationalism into sports, nevermind the fact that it's so embarassing for the agency bsky.app/profile/mich...
I mean OK, outsider perspectives can be valuable, but yeah this is just a convoluted way of dismissing knowledge and experience. ARC Raiders works for ex. because it's a reincarnation of DayZ, PUBG, and Hunt, impossible to make without that understanding.
Finland geo-engineering and innovation, baby
Gotta favor Canada in the OT though. So much space for 3M
Silicon Valley's main contributions in the decade are financialization and marketing
Can't believe 3-on-3 is going to decide both hockey gold medals, yikes. Very exciting but it's not the heart of the sport.
Inject it into my (nose) veins
Thanks - just under my byline on PC Gamer, I don't write as much as I used to though, appreciate your interest. www.pcgamer.com/author/evan-...
Great thought from @morganpark.bsky.social on the spectator sport that game popularity has become. www.pcgamer.com/games/fps/th...
Congrats, excited to hear someone's publishing something comprehensive on him
Thank you for your service 🫡
Way too early to judge this stuff.
Yeah it was a a demonstration sport at the 1988 and 1992 Winter Olympics, so no medals I guess, but for the purpose of promotion
