People still read Kotaku?

Its been like this for much longer too. I’m still mad they closed FASA game studio.

It’s worth mentioning this is deliberately worded to sound as bad as possible. Q2 is down from Q1 (it always is), and revenue is down but so are expenses as unprofitable stores are closed (remember when your local mall had two of them?)

The company was profitable in this last quarter, but only barely. There was an operational loss, but interest on the massive $4Bn war chest pushed it over. This isn’t great, but marks a real improvement over hemorrhaging money which it was doing before. Its also the first profitable Q2 in years. The year of 2023 turned a narrow profit and 2024 is on track to be a little better.

Hate GameStop all you want (and by all means, frequent your local indie game store). But keep in mind that business wise, someone still feels the need to spend money on ‘attack’ articles like this one.

Anybody else playing the new satisfactory update?

And they killed most of their Jewish population! Wait…

Never played a Ys game, but I like falcom for some of Trails games I’ve played, and Gurumin. Anyone who played these recommend one to start with?

This sounds like subtitles for a DVD commentary track, which were probably supposed to be a separate subtitle track but weren’t for some reason (or your player defaulted to them alphabetically).

If you happen to stumble on the DS version, that is a pretty good port too.

I played without a guide, and I think I got stuck like that in a couple places later on but eventually got through it. Honestly though if you’re stuck and no longer having fun figuring it out just use a guide so you can see the rest of the game, nobody said you had to be that kind of patient gamer.

There’s still some rough edges but its honestly well worth your time.

Yes, it’s only on the Play Date, which is a $200 console aimed at kids. The gimmick is you can download a bunch of exclusive games for free, but its still a very low power console with one gimmick (the crank) which costs as much as a switch lite.
