We need more of these. It doesn't matter if YouTube, Twitch and Kick have 90% of the market already, because that is the whole problem. The more the big sites consolidate, the crappier the product ends up being. Capitalism is a free market, not a monopolized one. A company with no competition...

I have been sucked into the Warframe story missions for a while. There is something about killing hordes of high-level enemies that gives me this weird dopamine hit that I can't quite explain. It's basically crack, but with space ninjas. I'm honestly surprised that Age of Empires II isn't...

I just finished playing Asphalt Legends Unite, on the PC. This game used to be Asphalt 9, but the game recently went through some sort of brand refresh that changed the way everything looks. Asphalt 9 used to be my favorite arcade racing game, but the constant carpet-bombing of manipulative...

Twitch finally catching up to every other live streaming competitor who had DJs on it, but that's because smaller streaming sites had less red tape to go through. Twitch gets hit with the DMCA strikes, because they were the biggest, so they had to make a whole program specifically dedicated to it.

Bruh. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) Anyway, good for her for going the Penguinz0 route, and having an eSports team. The only thing more valuable than having money, is having an audience. If she wasn't doing thirst traps on Twitch & onlyfans, she wouldn't have the money -or the noteriety- to make something like...

Valkyre is just spitting common sense here. Everyone who streams today seems to think all they need to do is start streaming to get noticed, and that is completely untrue -especially on sites like Twitch and YouTube. Most famous streamers got started at least 7 to 10 years ago, when the market...

This is all speculation on my part, but this is more than likely going to be a re-shelled, re-branded MyArcade handheld...

Most people I know still have an Xbox one X, or S. Nobody bought the "Series," because nobody can really tell the difference at this point. All the games look the same. This was a tramendous marketing failure. The only exclusive they had banking on the release of the Series was Halo Infinite...

House of Leaves. This is -quite possibly- the most confusing book ever written, and you have to read the book over multiple times to realize what's going on. That being said, it's actually really good, and gives off those Jacob's ladder/Silent hill vibes. Funnily enough, the best adaptation of...

I post on forums because its a topic-focused portal for discussion. I miss those days when the focus was more on the things we talk about, rather than the people talking about them. Social media is way more self-focused, and so, narcissism and celebrity-worship thrives there. You have feeds...

I just bought Age of Empires 3: Definitive Edition on steam. I liked AOE II HD Better, but this is my favorite RTS series.

The PS portal is hilarious, but I don't think this poses enough of a risk to the company, that it could cause it to go under. This is more like an experiment, and let's be honest here; they can afford the L they will take. The PS5 is dominating the console market right now. That being said, the...

Thank you, everyone! Sorry for the late reply. I was having a good one! :celebration:

Re-watching Gundam 00. This was one of those shows that wasn't just a "good Anime," but just an overall good show in general. I could easily see a live-action adaptation of this show killing it on Netflix or -even better- Prime. I consider this series better than Gundam Seed, Wing, and even...

There is a pretty bizarre and embarrassing backstory to the X.com branding that started all the way back in 1999. So, back when Elon Musk was the PayPal CEO in the late 90s', PayPal and its competitor Confinity inc, would merge to form a bank called x.com. As the story goes, the board of...
