[Tom Warren] The PS5 Pro still hasn’t sold out in the US or UK. Looks like the $700 price point will mean this console will be readily available this holiday
  • The picture that you posted was from a demonstration showing the Pro mode looking similar to Fidelity while running at double the frame rate.

  • Indie publisher Humble Games has reportedly been closed [from IGN, as company that lay them off]
  • I’ve been waiting for the Signalis patch to hit PS4 for awhile, and I’m hoping that the sudden shuttering of the publisher doesn’t affect the ability for existing titles to receive updates!

  • John Carpenter’s Scariest Movie Is Technically a TV Show Episode
  • It’s worth watching and it’s a highlight of the Masters of Horror series…but it’s still an episode of Masters of Horror. Like the rest of the series, the episode still feels like an early 2000s TV production, so you lose out on a lot of the atmosphere that defines the best Carpenter films.

    The only episode that doesn’t feel like it’s been slightly tarnished by time or budget constraints to me is Miike’s “Imprint,” but that’s likely because Miike was so used to working within those boundaries anyway.

  • [Playstation Lifestyle] MMO Throne and Liberty Sets PS5 Release Date & Open Beta
  • “The MMO launched in Korea last year and releases internationally on September 17, 2024. Meanwhile, players can try it out early by signing up for the open beta, which runs from July 18 to July 23. PS5 users will be able to download the beta from the game’s page on the PlayStation Store.”

  • Bookworm (2024, dir Ant Timpson)
  • They had me at both “American magician father” and “Canterbury Panther.” I’m there!

  • The Callisto Protocol: "We released a patch today on all platforms for performance optimizations and bug fixes." - Twitter
  • Someone described the combat as being like Punch Out, and somehow that really made it click for me. It’s really visceral, and it’s worth playing even if it lacks variety!

  • How to pronounce 'Jerboa' ?
  • Hopefully just like the name of the character in The Howling 3: The Marsupials, or I’ve been getting it wrong this whole time.

  • TekSavvy puts itself up for sale amid industry turmoil
  • This is awful. TekSavvy was a strong advocate for positive change in a terrible, entrenched market, and the entire landscape is going to be worse without them. I guess at this point I hope that we see more municipal broadband efforts like in Olds, Alberta, though I fear that I'm never going to see something like that in any major cities.

  • What to watch for mortgage rates
  • As someone with a renewal coming up in November, I guess I’m interested to see just how much danger I’m in. How exciting?

  • *Permanently Deleted*
  • It felt exactly like this. Instead of checking the same few sites over and over all day, there were so many cool sites that you could buy a monthly magazine with cached webpages on a CD-ROM. I’d actually be cool with that again in 2023, honestly.

  • What's everyone's relationship with the SEGA Game Gear?
  • I had a friend who brought their Game Gear with the TV tuner to the playground in elementary school, and it was a moment of absolute future shock. It didn’t matter that we could barely tell what was happening on the screen, because I couldn’t believe that it was even possible!

  • What's everyone's relationship with the SEGA Game Gear?
  • Shinobi 2 for Game Gear was a childhood favourite even if I didn’t have any batteries and just had to hang out near an outlet to play it. I booted it up on my Analogue Pocket recently, and it’s still super fun! I enjoyed a bunch of games on the system, but that’s the one that feels like an all-time classic to me.
