I’ll reserve judgement until I see pricing, but I am curious about the Gabecube. My home PC is very aged (9700K, 1080) so I could see it possibly replacing that or serving as a HTPC in that form factor.
I’ve been in the market for a new PC controller so I’m looking forward to reviews on the controller.
I’m VERY interested in the Frame, again, depending on pricing. I’d like to upgrade from my aging Quest 2, but I’d like to get out of the Meta ecosystem.
According to protondb, Helldivers 2 works already so you shouldn’t have any issues. The only issues listed there are due to screen size and hardware configuration for the Steam Deck.
Yeah it’s been like a decade since that Piketty book Capital in the 21st Century dropped. It was such a hot seller you literally couldn’t find it in stores when it came out.

This. The billionaires were playing things a little coy, but with the AI shit, they KNOW the govt is useless and that people are too atomized to stop them so they’ll just volunteer that they’re building a surveillance state/trying to automate out all human labor/consuming all the natural resources/etc". No inferences needed.

I wish I could find the tweet of someone saying their Chinese uncle believed that God put Trump in charge of the US, not to save it, but to destroy it.

Well, I’ve got news. You’re going to get a US surveillance state AND China is going to win the AI race.

Yeah! I’m glad you’re enjoying Y0. You’ve identified what makes Yakuza so interesting; it’s the dichotomy began a gritty, serious crime drama and wild, unhinged side quests and characters. I don’t know how the full series plays out, but Kiryu is a great example of a non-toxic male character.
After some procrastination, I finally finished Death Stranding 2 over the weekend. My thoughts overall are complicated, but it’s Kojima at his most bombastic. It’s a unique piece; some of the ideas are so far out there, I can’t imagine anyone but him being given the budget and time necessary to see it through.
Overall, having played both back to back, I’d say the narrative is stronger in the first game. The sequel has higher highs than the first, but it’s more inconsistent. The gameplay in the second is best-in-class. It feels like the logical continuation of what was started in MGSV, which is why I’ve heard that it’s so MGS-like. You have a large sandbox of toys and you get to choose how you want to proceed. Also, DS2 took a good look at the UI in DS1 and corrected pretty much every issue I had with it.
All in all, I’d say DS1 is absolutely required reading before playing DS2. The games are waaay too interlinked to skip it. For the future, there is a very obvious thread to pull on for another game, but so much of what was built in the first two games is over that you’d really have to take things in a different direction. I’m curious about OD, but I’m more interested in seeing what PhysInt is going to be.
