ROG Xbox Ally X is $1000, Xbox Ally is $600. These prices surprised me

I understand the mechanics are different but the combat is pretty similar. ARPG kind of stuff.

@baldlyrudy.com and I were talking about Torchlight 2 from Runic Games, and Hades 2 from @supergiantgames.bsky.social , I compared the two because combat is similar (ARPG), but Torchlight isn't a roguelike. do you consider the games to be similar?

NO shade to the people that work at IGN, but this is awesome news. More independent stuff!

Digital Foundry @digitalfoundry.bsky.social · Aug 7

We're excited and proud to announce that Digital Foundry is now fully independent, having parted ways amicably with IGN. In this DF Direct Special, we share our thoughts and aspirations for the future of the channel: youtu.be/tl7bIJ2yu4I

Had a blast talking to @retrogamecorps.com @bob.thewulffden.com and @will.thewulffden.com at Too Many Games this year. We made a video about Emulation which you can see on Bob's channel, and we did a live episode of the podcast!

The president of the United States is threatening to strip the citizenship away from an American who says things he does not like.

And our media will invariably present this not as a major crisis, an impeachable offense that must lead to his immediate removal, but as “a spat” between Don & Rosie
