Venom moves slower when wall running, Magik’s dash is shorter, Doctor Strange has less horizontal movement, and Star Lord does slightly less damage. When I tested these differences out, I found that anything over 60 FPS doesn’t make a difference to damage or movement range.



It runs at 1080p 100 fps on a 1060. Are you still gaming on the core duo igpu?


Seeing how many devs ignore suggested regional pricing unless steam autofills it for them, nobody would enable this on their own, and you can’t make this sort of thing opt out.


Shamelessly copying my comment:

In order,

Chorus - AA paranormal 3d spaceship combat game
Cyber Hook - First person grapple hook platform racer
Tangle Tower - Charming point and click detective game
Patch Quest - Bullet hell roguelike
Subsurface Circular - Robot murder mystery visual novel
Yes Your Grace - Addictive story driven king resource management game
They Bleed Pixels - Brutal 2d action platformer
Devil Daggers - Single arena fps where you try to survive 500 seconds (and fail)
Loop Hero Soundtrack - The game is pretty well known, but its soundtrack is amazing enough to buy or pirate even if you don’t want to play it



I like this better. Less fomo

Wasn’t the previous seasonal sale just a couple weeks ago?




Source? Very skeptical that what you said can work without running anything on the system, which would be detectable on its own.



Does anyone know why “Shell”, “MTP Host” and “External Storage” show up as apps I can deny all files access permission to? (Samsung)
I checked, they are system apps. Apparently I denied it to mtp at some point but it still works? Didn't try the other two. What purpose does listing these in the permission list serve other than cluttering it? I don't think these core system apps used to show up there, anyone?

Even if it says “licence” or whatever then I’d still not be fine with it not being permanent. The language isn’t the problem




Usually 9s are better than 7s due to higher clock speeds but since the ccx with the extra cache already ran at its limit there’s (or was) no room for improvement for x3d parts. And in zen4 only one ccx (half the cores) had extra cache in the case of 7900x3d and 7950x3d, making performance inconsistent


Yes, but it’s likely that it will not be any better than this for gaming, and might even be worse if they go hybrid again


Especially after amd advertised it as just a 8% avg uplift


Wtf is this poll:

3k people really unsure if they bought or not


Fsr doesn’t use ml. And I don’t think dlss needs special tuning anymore neither. They fucked something up


Big fan of control, that’s why I’m willing to give this a go.

There was news other week about them seeking investment from tencent to finish control 2, they operated at a loss in 2022, 2023 and first half of 2024 and they didn’t do layoffs despite the industry trend. They also bought control from 505. They need the money


Puha said FBC: Firebreak is meant to be “a pick-up-and-play experience” that’s easy to jump into, and while “a steady supply of new content” is planned post-release, it’s not intended to be a game-as-a-service: “This isn’t about logging in every day for some loot or fear of missing out on materials.”

It’s live service… Or is that a bad thing? Then it’s not! Unless…?

/s Sounds like they’re trying to catch the paranormal coop online multiplayer crowd that makes a game go viral every year to ease their financial woes

This goes on the ‘might be an impatient gamer for this’ pile


It looks like a Mexico filter reshade preset ‘mod’ at best. At worst they changed the mood and time of day of a bunch of scenes and npcs potentially glow indoors now (like at 1:41)

On other news, welcome to my blog adshittification. The blog that uncovers the sinister truth about the ads being shown in your throat! This week’s highlights:

  • Youtube still hasn’t stopped ruining my week by filling up those precious few seconds between opening a video and going fullscreenwith intrusive ads that cover a quarter of your screen, and still even then you can’t stop the wall of ads that show up after the video finishes:

  • I opened up steam to play some factorio to calm my nerves, but I got greeted by an illegal ad telling me to kill myself:

  • So instead I opened library home to play something alse, only to be assaulted by more ads at the top!

  • I decided to give up trying to play. Normally I would open reddit next but I haven’t been using it since they put promotions in the post screen:

  • Thankfully lemmy is immune to such corporate bs

    No lemmy-chan not you too!


It’s upsetting how news outlets can now call anything an ad to generate outrage and people here just eat it up. Something about that word seems to turn people’s brains off and they start commenting misinformation.

This is:
A feature to show you news from the game you’re about to play.
Badly designed since it can’t be turned off and it covers the entire screen.
Prone to abuse for ads.

This is not:
An ad.
A money making venture by sony.
Unique to playstation.


Remedy didn’t do layoffs and bought back publishing rights of control from 505 after operating at a loss last year. If this ‘loan’ lets them own their own games that’s great. It’s sad to see how many of their old titles are owned by/tied to other companies


Nintendo noticed ai exists just now and thus dodged the hype cycle


I think lots of games would hit a cpu bottleneck before they reach 120 fps




Ubisoft stock tanks to 10 year low!

*Zooms out*

Yeah it’s definitely star wars outlaws guys



Xiaomi probably has some kind of maintenance app that can run automated checks, do that. If you’re paranoid, check if the bootloader is unlocked and if so reflash the stock rom.


From this march:

Jyamma Games also said it was no longer planning to launch Enotria: The Last Song on Xbox alongside other platforms. This is to ensure “a superior experience for PC and PS5 players,” Jyamma Games CEO Giacomo Greco wrote in a statement on Steam. The exec suggested the studio will reassess an Xbox release once the game has launched elsewhere.

Maybe Xbox didn’t like the second class citizen treatment



What scenario are you talking about?? From the article:

NGate malware can relay NFC data from a victim’s card through a compromised device to an attacker’s smartphone, which is then able to emulate the card and withdraw money from an ATM.

Masquerading as a legitimate app for a target’s bank, NGate prompts the user to enter the banking client ID, date of birth, and the PIN code corresponding to the card. The app goes on to ask the user to turn on NFC and to scan the card.

Physical card is involved, mobile payments isn’t.


Dark Souls Remastered Pegi Review
I've been playing dark souls lately and wanted to see what pegi wrote about it. It's mildly amusing

Does wb get any money from sales of adult swim published games on steam?
I have an urge to buy some of them on steam before they get delisted but don't want to give any money to wb in the process. The way that apparently devs could just leave or sell/give away the game on other platforms made me think maybe wb doesn't get a cut of every sale. Does anyone know that for certain?

How are security updates applied?
They seem too small and consistent in size to just be bundles of system apps that got security fixes the past month. Are they like differential patches or something? How are they applied? And what happens while the 'finishing system update' notification is shown? (as far as I can tell the phone remains unlocked while updating, so why do they need it to be booted to finish the update? Is it just to turn on the phone faster?) Web search returns 'what is an update' articles so I'm asking here.
