  • I love LTT. It’s entertaining, and he shows cool stuff. And you can even learn a thing or two.

    And I am gonna be even more unpopular than you.
    I find Steve from GN to be boring as fuck to watch regularly (though I watch him when I want to see a specific review, like I do with other channels, his content is very good in terms of information), and he resorts to clickbait regularly, even if a different kind of clickbait (that waste of sand thumbnail, if it was LTT, would be criticized forever).

    And more, even if you want to buy something instead of watching for entertainment, you shouldn’t rely on 1 single review anyway, so pretending GN is the be-all-end-all for tech reviews is ridiculous.





  • Basically, they want their cake and to eat it too.
    I remember a few years they were crying because Facebook was stealing their traffic, people didn’t go to the websites to read the news, so they didn’t click ads. Facebook was basically stealing their money!!!

    The problem is that this view is shortsighted, because with these new laws you talk about, people still don’t go to news websites, and in fact get their news from alternative sources (and most of them, not good).
    So now they are crying, again, but for the opposite reason.














  • Football Manager 2009

    It’s the first 3D game and it shows.
    After FM2008, my favourite, it was a bit of a disapointment.
    Then FM2010 was good, improved on FM11, and FM12 is considered by some people to be the peak of the series.

    Coincidentally or not, the last Championship Manager was in 2009/2010, and FIFA Manager’s last was 2013/2014, and now Football Manager has been stagnating a bit (or getting worse in some places) because it has no competition in the market anymore.









  • That list is a bit outdated at points.

    It’s missing Ares for various emulators, RMX for N64, CEMU for Wii U, Duckstation for PS1 (best emulator for the system), for example.

    I usually check Emulation Wiki because they have a lot of info.
    They usually have the full list of emulators for each system, and them they tell you if it’s recommended to use or not.

    It’s usually also shown if it’s open source and in active development.


  • Right now?
    No, I don’t think so.

    But Windows is getting worse, and GamePass won’t be cheap forever.
    Same with them putting the games on Steam, it can change on a whim.
    I mean, even on PC, nothing stops them from walking back and just making everything Xbox exclusive in the future again.

    They can make changes that make it impossible (or extremely hard) for their games to work on Linux using Proton.

    There are many ways they can use these company mergers to fuck the consumer in the future.

    Consolidation is always a bad thing, in my opinion, because it takes away choice from the consumer and puts it in the hands of trillion-dollar companies whose sole objective is to make ALL the money all the time, forever.
