It’s getting really fucking annoying to look at steam reviews and discussions and running across several “is it woke?” posts.
Often times, it will be “one black NPC in a historically white environment, one female in a combat position, it’s been ruined by wokeness.”
Or often “two non-essential NPCs are in a gay relationship, stay away” when they could be entirely avoided by accident.
It’s disappointing.
I watched the documentary that GSC released about the development of S2… It was a whole struggle. The company rented buses as tensions increased with plans to move the staff and their families to the western border of Ukraine.
Several devs stayed in Kyiv where GSC’s building is, and some even went to get enlisted.
What input did you play on? The camera was fine for me on mouse and keyboard, which is funny because From games are usually pretty bad on m&k. Terrain navigation was at its worst when invisible walls were plentiful, but overall, I didn’t struggle with navigation. Also, as someone who is mildly familiar with JTTW, the story was a bit confusing but followable.
A small and simple semi-idle frog collecting game where you simply collect rare frogs and let them generate buckaroos so you can collect rarer frogs. There’s a free demo that got me hooked to occasionally logging on and collecting more frogs.
Having witnessed teenage boys moaning into a microphone for an entire 25-minute match because my friend (a woman) spoke twice, I would say that it has nothing to do with growing thick skin.
My friend has thick skin. They heard it, muted everyone, calmly asked me to be the middleman for important callouts, and we played out the match. That is just normal there, unfortunately.
Hop in that discord and ask someone for advice on setting it up! A similar thing happened to a game dear to me, and I was struggling with the setup to play on privately hosted servers.
I hopped in the Discord, and three people were eager to help me. They just want to build their communities back up :P
Let’s add in the cost of batteries as their own thing
I don’t know if this is a fair thing to do. Yes, we could charge it from any other source, but we aren’t (intentionally) overgenerating power from sources like coal, gas, etc. Thus, the need for implementing that storage largely depends on renewables.
I also feel like factoring out the costs of storage implementation leaves more gaps for combustion generation supporters to criticize renewables. I would rather be honest about the upfront costs and instead emphasize the long term benefits of renewables, both in cost and cleanliness.
I have participated in this with PCBs for keyboards and gamecube controllers (PhobGCC). It worked fine, but YMMV.
Yes. There are, and it’s fucking awesome because it’s a space where we can say “the gender of the person who did all this great work has zero negative impact on the wonderful outcome!”
People can argue that trans actors can “feel out of place” or that trans athletes “ruin the spirit of competition.” I don’t agree with those perspectives, but I can see the (warped) logic behind them.
Here, there’s nothing to possible complain about. Does the PCB function any differently because of who reverse engineered and recreated it? No. Should it impact one’s experience gaming on this hardware? No, and if it does, said person has a problem disconnecting their personal beliefs from their objectivity.
Once every 20 or so times that I leave my inventory, my viewcone is placed inside of my weapon for half a second and then the game stutters and I pop back into my character’s head (I think the inventory screen may scale up weapons for display and it’s failing to undo that so quickly, but that may be completely false).
That, and one dialogue “loaded” instantly (it started the interaction but wasn’t prepared with the graphics) and displayed a black screen for the first half of the conversation. Oh, also, FSR is FSR and makes spaceship landings look terrible.
Those are the only notable graphics issues I’ve experienced aside from widespread poor performance, and they might not even be graphics issues. I mean, the game doesn’t run too great, but the core gameplay is definitely less buggy than FO4 or Skyrim at launch. I’m sad to hear people are having more serious graphical issues, especially Arc users.
It will always be weird to me that microsoft sells some games both on the microsoft store app and the xbox app, but other games exclusively through the xbox app.
