My entire job relies on an app not on the Play Store. I wonder how this change is going to affect business. They’re hiring a lot of people like they either have a backup plan or no idea what’s coming.
My boss is Gen Z and as such she’s tech illiterate, so she doesn’t really understand what I’m trying to say when I voice my concerns.
Yeah at least it’s better than Apple’s approach, where you have to connect your phone to a PC once every 7 days to reactivate Developer Mode. Don’t have a computer? Fuck you!
That said, I have zero faith in Google sticking with the compromise solution in the long run. They’re going to try to force the change on everyone again in the future, once they’ve broken us down a bit more.
Exactly. This is one of the few good uses for AI. It looks less like a beauty filter and more like a realism one. If it can make the rest of the game look as real, I’m all for this. I just hope it doesn’t require a GPU upgrade, because I was lucky enough to score a 4090 at launch for MSRP, and I plan on keeping it for at least another 6-8 years.
At this point I’m pretending that the game hasn’t even been announced yet.
I admit I bought an XBOX 360 for GTA V so I wouldn’t have to wait for PC, but TBF you could get a used 360 for about $60 because the next gen was just around the corner. I’m not seeing any PS5s selling for anywhere near that cheap, so I won’t be playing GTA VI until it releases on PC this time around.
No.
The sameness of every planet was a major turnoff for me, plus the scale of the universe pretty much guarantees that you’ll never run into another player organically. The game is basically just Minecraft in space, except bad.
This is the reason why I don’t like procedurally-generated games. What’s the point of a big, massive universe, if it’s nothing but a bunch of generated sameness? Environments that weren’t handcrafted are a major turnoff for me. As someone who sees video games as art, it just feels soulless and empty. Like AI-generated art, except it’s an entire game.
Also VLC requires you to curate a movie collection. I’m too old to keep doing that shit.
These days I use a Debrid service to steam torrents directly to my TV at gigabit speeds, with Stremio as my frontend to give me a Netflix-like experience. You get all the convenience of a modern streaming service, without the exorbitant fees nor the hassle of managing a Jellyfin server. Just fire up the TV and pick something to watch.
It all comes down to Japanese peoples’ beliefs. They see modding their games as a shameful behavior because they compare it to plagiarism. As ridiculous as it is, they see it as stealing their ideas instead of coming up with your own. In their eyes you should be making your own game from scratch instead of ressurecting theirs.
It’s the same reason why Nintendo is so god damn evil. In their eyes they’re doing the honorable thing by suing their own customer base.
Yet still only four face buttons. I don’t know why every controller manufacturer in existence refuses to bring back 6 button pads, even Valve. Instead they all just copy each others’ designs. Even Nintendo—once known for being innovative—is guilty of this. The Switch/Switch 2 Pro controller is literally just a crappy XBOX controller with crappy digital triggers.
Also I’m not a fan of symmetrical joysticks. The left stick is used way more than the D-Pad, and as such, should be placed where the left thumb naturally lies, instead of the D-Pad. I’ll eventually get used to it but I don’t like it.
LOL I could have told you that before you spent the money.
Thankfully there’s a lot of good games that really shine on high-end hardware. Like that Indiana Jones game and the Spider-Man games. Also you never have to worry about games being an unoptimized mess, when you can just brute force them with pure processing power.
Because I don’t like that game.
I kept dying from the same mistakes over and over and couldn’t figure out what the hell I’m supposed to do or where to go. Supposely the ship log will update when you’ve made progress, but mine never did.
Got bored of playing what is basically a Game Over simulator after a day of frustration and never touched it again. I guess I’m just too stupid/ADHD for a game like this.
I’m hyped! Get the OS on a foldable on-par with the Z Fold 7 (in terms of thinness, camera quality, battery life, and UI featureset), and I’m sold. I am so done with Google and Samsung’s bullshit. If I wanted an iPhone, I would have bought an iPhone. I’m tired of them copying Apple and somehow managing to be even worse at it. I don’t want to be forced to use use either of their shitty app stores.
FWIW, I’m aware that I’m going to be waiting for awhile.
Just a heads up: it’s a mod but is listed as a separate game on Steam:
https://store.steampowered.com/app/2012840/Portal_with_RTX/
It came out in 2022, however, so IDK why OP is saying “recently”.
Why? For trying to convince people to make healthier decisions? What the fuck?
Give it a try before you judge. I assure you that wheat flower with vegetable flower added tastes the same.
You might just be confused; I’m not talking about that green stuff that tastes like alfalfa. I’m talking about the stuff that’s often advertised as “protein pasta”. It’s good and good for you. Don’t be a fatass; give it a chance before you hate.
Reminds me of the first time I played Portal. I was really excited for the “hilarious song” in the credits that all the reviews were raving about.
Imagine my disappointment when I finally get to the end, only to discover that the “hilarious song” was just Still Alive…
I bought the game shortly after release, but within a week it had already been memed to death and back again. I hadn’t been disappointed that much by a game ending since the NES days.
I’d switch but it’s not available for my Fold 7, and I don’t want to get a different foldable because I like that this one is as thin and light as a non-foldable when folded. Plus I actually like the gimmicks exclusive to Samsungs (Good Lock is a game-changer). Do I even have any other OS options for this device? Pretty sure the bootloader is uncrackable due to some BS tamper-evident seal in the hardware itself.
(And no, I won’t get a regular phone. Once you go foldable, there’s no going back. The benefits far outweigh the negatives.)
