There’s two separate uploadS, a video upload and audio upload. Alternatively you can get early access on YouTube or other platforms with the RSS links

I was playing Oblivion fully for the first time with Remastered and fell off the game because of the main quest. 😅

Not a fan of Patreon’s UI…how do you access the video?

It’s not a day one game, so I’m not sure why Matty and Cog were so surprised.

Regarding Metaphor ReFantazio being on GP standard, I took it more that they had a prior agreement for a certain amount of games being on Xbox and GP. Metaphor was included in that agreement, as a game that would drop in GP after a set amount of months. Rather than a sign of weakness.

Gaming is a luxury hobby, it’s not a right you get at whatever price you deign it to be. I don’t want a race to the bottom, I want games to be the best they can be and value isn’t the purpose of this hobby. You aren’t entitled to play video games and I’ve never met a cheaper, whinier fanbase than gamers who frankly, have NO CLUE how hard and expensive it is to make a video game. Games are cheaper than ever, easier than ever to buy and are on sale more abundantly than ever before. You have no right to complain. They’re also more expensive to make than ever and before I get the hurr durr Clair Obscura example, that game was essentially funded by a group of trust fund people whose parents are magnificently rich. It was used for an amazing purpose and created an incredible game and seems to be an even better investment, but most AA/AAA companies would never survive charging 50-60 dollars for a game. Adjusted for inflation that’s astronomically cheap. If you don’t like the prices of games going up, don’t play, that’s your right. Speak with your wallet, wait for sales, do whatever you need to do, but yelling into the void like your human rights are tied to video games in day 1 is embarrassing. It’s happening, get over it or get used to not playing video games at launch anymore.

I really enjoyed the Avowed/Patel discussion. I’m just not feeling it with Obsidian these days. Kotor 2 and New Vegas are top 5 games for me, but modern day Obsidian couldn’t even make Alpha Protocol

Bungie can also just settle with this artist for a few million and move on. They’d be silly not take the life changing money. It’s bad but I don’t think end of the world bad

This definitely made me chuckle 🤭

As much as I think what Randy said is fucking stupid, and he put his foot in his mouth, he has a point. I’m sick of the incessant whining about what is a luxury hobby, entertainment. It’s not a right, you’re not owed anything and no one should feel bad for you if you can’t afford to buy in day 1. The market will adjust if the price point is wrong, but it’s bewildering to see people fight against the cost of toys far more vehemently than the affordability of their healthcare, food and utilities.

I’ve enjoyed more Xbox games on PS5 than I have ps5 games on ps5. This is just me personally, emphasis on me personally for the not well adjusted commenters

I’m currently 40hr into oblivion remastered and I only have like a third of the achievements and hardly any of the story. I’m still goin strong. The achievements in oblivion only represent a very small portion of the content in the game. There are only achievements for the factions, main quest, and shivering isles main quest.

Will Sony block their first/third party titles on steam on Xbox?

Pitfall was dope! I used to play that with my dad in the 80's

The real Donald Trump (no seriously it's actually me but I'll never admit it)

The only mistake Pitchford made was the bit about being a "real fan". Other than that he was 100% right and totally reasonable

Is anyone else sick and tired of game studios using player count as a metric of success? Sandfall Interactive released Expedition 33 on game pass, yet still had no problem sharing sales numbers as they reached certain milestones.
