good on them for giving back to the community

Selling*

Let’s not forget this is Blizzard we’re talking about.

Would you consider Pokemon Red and Pokemon Fire Red the same game?

Correct. This was a contention of mine in another thread. Not the first click bait article I’ve seen about it and they all say the same fucking thing. I wouldn’t be surprised if Blizzard sent out a marketing packet for these people to “publish.”

Looks very much like Samsung Dex. Do Google Pixels have a similar “desktop” feature? If not, I bet this becomes it.

I’ve been meaning to replay it again with the Echo patch.

I want to say that was one of the favorited StarCraft game modes, 7v1. All against one insane level AI opponent.

I’d argue that that is one of the expected/intended ways to play.

Be honest. Are you the dev?

This post screams indirect ad. Also you neglected to mention the Freemium model of this app and the fact that without premium (which is only $1/month), your images aren’t saved in full resolution??? Why would anyone use this instead of literally just their camera app?

Also even if I wanted to use this: which probably explains the “only 500 downloads.”

Let’s not forget to mention that, at best, AI was used to assist in writing descriptions both on the play store and the website.

Seriously. Just covering more ground. Imagine if they broke into the mobile phone space.

I don’t know about specific games, but I noticed Kenney had a couple games on there.

That name should be recognizable for folks in the indie game space for their collection of free assets: https://kenney.nl/assets.

Oh I think they’re both at fault. Fuck EA/Battlefield for the SecureBoot requirement too.

In fact, fuck all games with kernel level anti-cheats.

Not sure if you’re being serious, but at least Riot Games’ anti-cheat Vanguard always wants to be running in the background, whether the game is running or not. Sure, you can stop it, but if you then want to play something that requires it, you have to reboot. There’s no manual way to start it.

One of the reasons I decided to drop Valorant.

I played some Black Ops 7 when it released since it was a GamePass Day One release but it seems like every time I launch the Xbox app, it won’t let me simply update what I have installed. It tries to force a 350+ GB download or some other outrageously dumb number.

If I really wanted to play it, I’d either have to clear that much space or uninstall and reinstall, where it actually lets me select exactly what I want to install.

Yeah, it was mostly a joke. I don’t even play Helldivers.

Will it somehow also require a PSN account? lol

US. I got it day one, February of 2023. Hence my pain and frustration.

I enjoyed my PSVR 2 when it was still working. It started having USB issues and now no longer communicates properly. No visible damage or physical accidents that I’m aware of. And Sony wants $275 to repair it.

Yes, I actually sought out the AI disclaimer to confirm my suspicions since they had that uncanny valley feel to them.

A human artist using Photoshop would generally know how to fix that.

I almost would have preferred that they lower the quality of the images they took, or use an older camera for more of that “old school jank” vibe they were supposedly going for.

lol the idea of an AI bot designed to criticize AI is hilarious and may be an acceptable use of AI.

I just genuinely don’t like the look of most AI generated imagery, also there’s the ever prevalent conundrum that is the lack of supporting actual human artists.

Had me until AI.

I think I get an average of ~100 on my 3080 Ti. Obviously it varies greatly, with outside during weather or near oblivion gates being closer to 60 but indoors/dungeons etc. get over 100.

So just Among Us VR without the VR.

Hell the first Elder Scrolls game Arena is only 17 years before Skyrim.

Of course he did. Doesn’t he lead the AI charge from within Meta?

So which is it? Can they confirm or deny?

It would be nice if there was a link to the game somewhere, unless I’m overlooking it…

I played the Beta. It had somewhat of an interesting gimmick, but the rest didn’t feel very polished. Granted, that was the Beta.

Comparing it to FragPunk which shortly followed, Fragpunk just felt better. I’ve been enjoying it since its release.

To be honest, Wizard is the best way to play Avowed.

I have really being enjoying it, granted, I didn’t actually buy it. Just playing through Game Pass. I was definitely watching for it and started checking it out Day 1.

Is it GotY? Nah, but there haven’t been many recent games that I’ve enjoyedn as much.

Ah well I’m glad to see the devs sticking to their passions. I’m sure they’re proud of this move.

With that said, I’m still surprised EA didn’t try to capitalize on it somehow.

Yeah fuck the 2+ million people working for big tech. They don’t deserve work unless it’s for a genuine, good-hearted startup.

Just in general. EA has a lot to around for.

Perhaps why this feels like them trying to save face.

“Chicken chaser! You chase chickens!”

It’s also on Humble Bundle Choice along with 7 other games this month.

Although it looks like it might only be redeemable through the EA. Of course, I’m not sure if the EA app is also required for the Steam version.

I played it some on PS5 since it was included in PS plus and got bored with it pretty quickly. It should really have been a shorter game.

I loved the first three Hitman games but I couldn’t tell your which were the last three because it’s so incredibly confusing.

Even enshittification®️™️ is not safe from enshittification.

I loved the Hitman games when I was younger, but somewhere around Hitman Absolution, I just lost interest because of this. They renamed this, resold that, combined this with that.

Last time I downloaded something, it was to try it in VR when it said there was a VR patch. I couldn’t do anything. I found out later, it’s only for PSVR 1 and only on PS4 with the camera and a dual shock 4 controller that has the light bar for tracking. Literally nothing explained that anywhere.

It’s an absolute mess and a shame.
