Yeah- if this was previously possible, I would have expected it many times over

Microsoft, Xbox, and Spencer have dominated the news carousel this week, drawing enormous criticism from the gaming community following the announced closures of Redfall creators Arkane Austin and Tango Gameworks, who developed the critically acclaimed Hi-Fi Rush.

Because "gaming journalists" hate Xbox and with the recent studio closures it has suddenly become more popular to make negative articles about Xbox. So if they can write an article about literally anything, they will, regardless of whether it has happened before or not.

This isn't because journalists hate Xbox. But because gamers hate Xbox, and they know this will get them clicks.

Game pass has 34m subs and they've sold 30m consoles. They are very popular.

Game journalist regularly have been stroking the hardcore gaming circle jerk media cycle for 30 years now.

The VAST majority of gamers do not follow this shit and would have zero clue who tango works was.

A look through the multitude of threads on the closure of these studios, shows how big an audience there is for this.

The VAST majority of gamers do not follow this shit and would have zero clue who tango works was.

Hence it's important to mention the names of the games made by said studios, such as Prey and Hi-Fi Rush. The latter of which was nominated at the Game Awards, which many people should've heard about.

You can nuke anywhere you want except for the area around Vault 76 and the Wayward because it’s all lower level.

Unless something changed I'm pretty sure you can't drop a nuke on player bases. And those are indestructible anyway

The article seems to say otherwise.

ech@lemm.ee · -1 pts · 2y (2 replies)

Actually no, but it did say a lot of other words.

In the end, this will probably end up being nothing more than an inconvenience to Spencer, as he can repair it with just a few clicks if he has enough materials in his inventory.

I don't play 76 so whatever, I just think this is a bit funny.

ech@lemm.ee · 2 pts · 2y

Fwiw, I'm not being serious. Just a bit of wordplay. Added a pic to be a bit more clear ;)

Zehzin@lemmy.world · -3 pts · 2y

I haven't played 76 in months but that's what I recall. When you do the quest that lets you drop a nuke I couldn't drop it too close to settlements, which is annoying cause someone might have one close to where you need to drop it.

I could have misinterpreted it though. I'd appreciate someone clearing it up
