A story all about how…

Wow, what a difference! I can hear myself think again! Thanks for the push.

I get mine broken on eBay and fix them, usually just a loose wire. The plastic side clasps always break, beware!

It’s been on my list, I will try thanks!

It’s an unlikely scenario, but if you have a doorbell that can be “connected” to, like ring or aqara you could set a light (hue, inner, generic ZigBee etc) to flash when the doorbell rings. I had a rube Goldberg setup for the time before I discovered open back monitors 😀

I’ll be real, I don’t know the manufacturer because it was a second hand pre built. An old hp omen that I replaced mobo and CPU (and somehow I didn’t take note… getting lazy on my old age)

I do roll 1440p and whatever settings get me 120 FPS. Nothing competitive

DT-990 Pros. Open backed so I can hear kids if they need me, but lovely sound when it’s quiet.

If I only my 3080 didn’t sound like a jet engine

If you like the idea there is a PvE mode which is fine. But the AI has its own cheats and there are all the other issues mentioned in this thread.

What are the young people nostalgic for?

Shits been fucked for quite a while…

Edit: I mean Ghibli is old to young people, Zelda is old to young people. Can you feel nostalgia for something you never experienced?

To expand on the other reply, TV and VHS are already systems in the game, so it’s just a case of finding all these volumes as loot

Heres hoping we get good/native .gdshader support in rider now

I looked into arts council grants and they just flatly do not do game development, sadly

Already got the landlord and energy companies lording it over me…

Would like it if they had a loan option or similar. Business loan was the only option left, grants come in tranches anyway, could have just had milestone based grant tranches.

In order to get the “content” (aka “make the game”) grants (at least recently when I applied) you needed to have at least 2 PAYE employees working on the game AND have the other half fully funded by non grant means.

Solo Devs are rejected out of hand and that seems incredibly short sighted. I am biased though.

Ironically, when you look at the receipts that is all it says.

I think they’re just blanket saying “follow our morals or die” rather than “this particular title offends us”.

Because sometimes publishers like to be the ones curtailing dev choices

Surprised you can even get such shit sensors anymore. Surely it’s cheaper to get the mass produced HD+ ones nowadays? Or did someone find a warehouse of 90s trash?

That’s still going?! I loved the customisation available in that

For brain rotten morons that only care about money… they really don’t seem to want mine.

Fuck 'em.

I hope there is a “dirt running down” simulation. Washing from the bottom up should be penalised.

China will grow larger

I got to play FaF with a top ranked player Vs 8 of us low-mid tiers (and one total novice)

We were still pottering about setting up defences and he had filled his half of the map with factories and quickly killed 2 or 3 of us. We won but only because one of us had a gunship squadron going around the map edge and found his commander.

It’s quite astonishing what he did in such a short time.

It did kind of kill my enthusiasm for it though, an excession event where you realise you are just a pathetic minnow. Humbling

In a similar vein, if you want to try something new check out starsector. You have to get it from their website currently but it’s a great game, lots of potential, lots of mods.

You can try to revive the sector, build your own mega corp, become a pirate, be a slaver, be an anti-slaver, gun running.

No FPS parts though

This can be a depression indicator, for me at least.

I don’t have any good advice for what to do with that info, but I hope it’s not that for you.

If you’re mega stressed and you lose your primary stress relief that can be rough.

Just want to say that Balantro on mobile is fantastic and you don’t need to miss it just because you don’t have a steam deck.

Weird, in UK and I see my streak before the ad plays. No subscription

The stingers genotype would not be missed.

Very impressive. Now let’s see Paul Allen’s factory.

Sweats profusely

Hello, bosmer

I’ll do it again.

They killed DMZ not long after the BS P2W skins, a real quality company.

It wasn’t directed at you, friend. Many sources, but not the same sort of coverage you saw for HD2 etc, seems to be business or drama related rather than gameplay content related news.

Just feels weird 🤷

Why am I saying multiple articles about this game every day?

Feels kind of forced at this point

I accidentally bought Minecraft for windows for someone when I wanted java… so that was fun.

The launcher just says “here are the options” it doesn’t say why you might want to choose one over another. Ive played since day 0 so I’ve always gone with java.

Just felt like if bedrock was meant to replace java they should have just done it and dealt with it instead of having so many choices.

Thanks for the info + @[email protected] & @[email protected]

Genuine question: why does bedrock exist? What does it bring? Why is there the choice between java, bedrock and “Minecraft for windows”?

How do you fuck up this badly?

I tried using the launcher to move a java install from C: to another drive and it just points there and doesn’t do anything? Steam had this stuff figured years ago

I used to feel a bit sad about the 30% but then I learned you get stream keys for your games for free, which makes it seem a lot more reasonable.

New update just arrived with colony events too. But I have to wait for all the mods to update…

It’s definitely flawed in a bunch of ways, I usually play with a hardcore self imposed rule set, getting good ammo to beat armour is one way, another way is just avoiding those fights or taking medium quality ammo from the corpses of other players after the shooting stops.

There are some changes soon where armour is more localised, meaning a spray of cheap ammo to the torso still stands a chance of getting through for massive damage. It may also reduce the number of people wearing armour. I’ve not played in a while, the AI is what really turns me off, dying to a bot a mile away without warning. But that’s also part of the charm. shrug

Yes, but that’s not what this is. More freeform, the loot is the objective (plus mission macguffins sometimes)

You leave the game into a meta game/strategy later

Limited time, limited locations for you to safely make it out with loot. Like Tarkov or DMZ.

I find the episodic nature more enjoyable than mmo total time sink fwiw
