Microsoft Sucks at Everything
  • Allegedly another company has licensed the designs forom Microsoft and we're supposed to start offering them later this year... Although there isn't exactly much runway left this year and the only articles talk about the announcement so in January so who knows.

  • Skyrim Lead Designer admits Bethesda shifting to Unreal would lose 'tech debt', but that 'is not the point'
  • I'm gonna assume that this is because they are Microsoft now. They use a ton contractors on everything these days instead of actual employees but the catch is contractor can only stay there for 18 months and then have to leave or get hired so any experience on the project gets thrown away. Moving to unreal allows them to bring on a wider group of dev contractors so hopefully the ramp up isn't as long. This is just a theory but the same thing happened to Halo since that's moving to unreal to. If they just retained actual talent this wouldn't be a problem and the games wouldnt suck as much even if engine was less advanced.

  • Motorola Razr 2023 review: not enough of a good thing
  • I picked up a Razr Plus last week and Im really digging it. The larger outer screen is actually really useful and being able to start any app there and open it up if I need more space works really well. Keeping my fingers crossed that it lasts longer than the first few gens but at least it's fun for now

  • The most recent plans included using a hotspot but now they are trying to unbundle everything on their new plans to 'save' you money by letting you only pay for what you want. Using a hotspot is costs $10 more a more now if you switch to the new plan. If you actually turned on everything that was already included you'd be paying more than now so you not even really saving anything either.

  • What's your favorite game you never hear anybody talk about?
  • Ogre Battle 64 is mine. The n64 wasn't exactly known for rpgs but this had so many characters, a ton of depth and an intense story that I wish it was brought up more. This was my intro to a tactical rpgs and I felt like I went right into the deep end.

  • which smart locks did you get?
  • Just incase you run across it, avoid Ultraloq. It seemed like a good deal with wifi, fingerprint read and keypad but after living with it I'm pretty frustrated. The reader stopped working after a couple months and the deadbolt motor isn't strong enough to open if there is any friction with the door jamb. Apparently these problems aren't unique to me so anything else posted here is a better choice.
