@OctorokR @moose_man1125 @RiverGoatGaming Sure, but it is proof of the “immaculate reputation” you’re implying it doesn’t have.

@JezCorden Depends on the week you ask.

Right now, fucking tired.

@JoeMerrick @MurkaDurkah I was 9 years old when Gold and Silver came out, and even at 9 I knew what a shiny was and that they were worth bragging about.

@bleachersmusic “american east coast bleachers people and world travelers please hold may 23rd in your calendars”

Jack please tell me world travellers includes Sydney

[Stupid White Bastard @IAmRobFoster]

@TalithaSingsToo @bleachersmusic 8 years of wishful thinking is too many years of wishful thinking 😞

[Stupid White Bastard @IAmRobFoster]

@GamePolitik99 @klobrille Sounds like a skill issue, king.

[Stupid White Bastard @IAmRobFoster]

@electrolemon @micomfestival Come back to Sydney you coward

[Stupid White Bastard @IAmRobFoster]

@jackantonoff Over 8 years since you’ve been to Sydney which kind of sucks.

@JoeMerrick @SerebiiNet This is basically just a reflection of VGC shifting over to Champions, right?

Like, ‘you can still play here if you want, but we’ll be actively maintaining the competitive scene over here’.

@zombielord168 @Ratchet911101 @JoeMerrick My dude, you understand they can release 2 things, right?

@JezCorden @Chris_Dring He’s right though, isn’t he? Like, hardware is not what is currently holding game development back, it’s money. In the majority of living rooms, what’s to be gained from more powerful consoles?

@Boltzmannbaby @JezCorden This is the sort of stuff that turns me off capitalism in its current format in the western world tbh - should be illegal, but it won’t happen, because the system isn’t broken, it’s functioning exactly as it’s meant to.

[Stupid White Bastard @IAmRobFoster]

@Boltzmannbaby @JezCorden Unfortunately, senior management do not view lay offs as a consequence of failure. It isn’t ’removing people’s livelihood’, it’s ‘controlling our costs’. He’ll be rewarded with bonuses, because he’s done what they want him to do.

[Stupid White Bastard @IAmRobFoster]

@JoeMerrick I liked the save data bonus. Felt like a reward for being so invested in the franchise.

[Stupid White Bastard @IAmRobFoster]

@JustinAlphabet @Captain_Boltoks @DestinLegarie This isn’t a defence of the price increase from last year. It’s a criticism of the price increase from last year (and how overall confusing Game Pass tiers became) referencing a meme from a few years back.

@sheepp91 The performance is absolutely not an issue for me, but it definitely chugs from time to time.

I’d even go so far as to suggest that even though dev started on the Switch 1, the final product would not run on a Switch 1 without significant compromise (if at all).

@Sarini44 @JasonClareMP To be clear: every election promise ever is buying votes using tax payer money.

[Stupid White Bastard @IAmRobFoster]

@iwearahoodie @toiletpaperaus1 The expectation that this will never change because it’s not indexed is also unfounded. Our tax brackets also aren’t indexed, but if you go back 27 years and compare income tax brackets, you can see they’re very different to today’s.

[Stupid White Bastard @IAmRobFoster]

@iwearahoodie @toiletpaperaus1 Median wage is currently $90k according to ABS.

Assuming inflation of 4% (average over the last 20 years is 2.5%), it will take roughly 28 years for the median wage to be $250k.

18 year olds are also not likely to start on the median wage, but a fair chunk lower.
