It looks good! I’m gonna play the shit outta this game


Except you have the added fun to pay for this




I’m sorry but that’s just not at all what he said. He said “If you really want it, you’ll find a way to make it work.”

If you don’t complain when it’s €60, you don’t have to buy it on day one. Take a month or two, or a year, to save up 20 extra and buy it when you’re comfortable.

You’ll have known about this game for over a year now, if it’s that important to you you’ve had a year to save up.

And if you’re struggling to make ends meet to the point that you can’t really afford video games, maybe wait for when it gets hugely discounted.

These are all ways of making it work. The end result is the same, you’ll have played the game.


Ori and the Blind Forest/Will of the Wisps?

Made by a smaller studio but published by Microsoft


Yeah they did. But at this point Half Life 3 has a mythical status they will never be able to measure up to.


Considering every Half Life showcased Valve’s new tech in the Freeman narrative, one could argue Alyx was our Half Life 3. It had everything: the signature storyline, new gameplay, new tech. What more are we expecting from Half Life 3?


The case by noyb referenced single player games. Stuff like session start, duration et cetera was being tracked.

I was one of the people that signed the SKG initiative after The Crew was taken offline. Not because I loved the game so much but it’s the principle. I payed for it and should still be able to play it.


On the same day noyb files a complaint including an accusation that in just 10 minutes, a single player game called to the servers 150 times


On my server I do most things under a non-root account.

On my Windows machines I really don’t want it to tell me what I can and cannot do. If I break it I’ll fix it.


It has some gimmicks that I don’t think will stand the test of time, but mostly I think it’ll be like 8 with some tweaks. It’ll be fine, I think.


Am currently playing Black Mesa after having only completed the original in Sven Co-op. It’s nice!



I’ve had both the old pro and the new non-pro and I’ve noticed no difference. Plex crashes sometimes, that’s pretty much it.


Wouldn’t the Google TV Streamer be plenty for you? I think it’s quite a bit cheaper than the Shield too. However, you’re gonna be hard pressed to find a device more powerful than the Shield so if it’s sluggish there might be something wrong with it.


Not to mention that the games actually worth playing will never receive any meaningful discounts so forget seeing Mario for half price


Ticket to Ride and Carcassonne for me. I play those with my wife and we don’t really get in each other’s way. She usually wins but I don’t care.


Hell Let Loose is a pretty active tactical shooter but it’s more tactics than fps


I’ll just assume you didn’t mean to respond to me. In any event, Squadron 42 is completely separate from the main game so I’ll wonder how jinky it might be.



Star Citizen will get a story mode called Squadron 42 witch should be feature complete and it has a star studded Hollywood cast. It looks worthwile but it won’t be here for at least a year.



It all looks really cool! As someone who has played both Half Life and Satisfactory, I salute you and your epic creation.


How’d you make that laser thing? Is that the somersloop machine?



Where is Coventry at these days? I must say I don’t really follow English domestic football since the service provider for those games in the Netherlands makes it awful.

I might check MotD every once in a while but I saw Lineker is leaving so that’ll most likely drop in quality too


Let’s see what he does.

Yesterday I was watching the Liverpool game and some of the Dutch folks said something interesting: the most successful coaches were mediocre players at best. They had to start at the bottom, build up a lot of experience and look at the game a bit differently.

Arne Slot is like that. But when you see all these superstars going into the coaching game, expectations are sky high, they can start off at huge clubs and they usually don’t do that well.

Maybe it’ll be good for Frank to have a look at Coventry, see what he can do there. Maybe if he’s in his 70s he’ll be able to get Chelsea for a few seasons.


Oh yeah I never got into things like tracking my MMR or trying to learn all the crazy stuff that goes on just above my rank. I’m perfectly okay with keeping the ball low and passing to my teammates and having a good game like that. I get super annoyed if my team mates try for the 7th time in one match to do a flip reset and not rotating ever.

If I even play now, I just play a couple of casual games with rando’s or ranked with a friend. After 10 to 15 games I’m completely done.


Champ 2 in 2s currently, it’s pretty much the only thing I play.

Actually I’ve only been playing casual of late, I find the toxicity a bit lower there. You might actually have a couple of decent games with a nice team mate.

But I’ve been playing since it wad kinda new, I was among the ones who had to pay 20 euros just to buy the game on pc. I played it with a DualShock 3 with an XInput wrapper. When I started I didn’t even have a DualShock so I played mouse and keyboard. And I think some of the hours are just having the game open but not playing.



Falling through a bed like in the article and then floating up and down like that just shows that the player and the bed are two separate entities. If the person is a human player, this could mean the coordinates of the player and the bed were the same at some point and then it’ll move the player to noclip it. It doesn’t show up like that for the player but only for others.

If the person is an AI, then it would first of all not make sense not to fuse them and second, it’s highly likely either the bed or the character model has a boundary issue. This can cause boundaries to overlap briefly, but then they collide and since the character is a more dynamic model, it will continuously look for the boundaries of itself in relation to the bed.

In any event, these things are just general bugs that can happen in any game. It would seem GSC either doesn’t test these things or they saw it, decided that fixing it would take up too much time and let it be.


In programming, everything is just an object in a space. If the devs decided that the object cannot clip and needs some sort of margin, this happens. It’s a decision of design and if the same design philosophy is kept, you’ll always see this.

In some games, you might see a short animation of someone getting into a bed, during which you can’t move. After that, the objects bed and player will be fused, as if they form one object. Maybe the game is better suited for meeting them separate, who knows. Considering the large number of different objects, you might be surprised how it is possible players aren’t clipping through everything.


Compared to the original Tall Tales and the Monkey Island ones, I think the PotC ones were the worst. They added those underwater shrines, ocean crawlers and sirens which are all a massive pain in the bottom.


I played the original Monkey Island and I gotta say I loved the Sea of Thieves adaptation. My wife and I completed all achievements of all Tall Tales a while back, started to feel like a chore but the Monkey Island ones were a breeze. Loved it.

Also loved the Pirates of the Caribbean ones though.



I got it running in 1080p once, you can just do a custom resolution in some config file.

They should have never made a new Most Wanted, they should have taken the old one, added more recent cars and add better graphics. Instead they destroyed the whole vibe.


If you haven’t tried them, give Ori a go. I finished Ori and the Blind Forest, it was amazing. Then I went on to Ori and the Will of the Wisps which builds on the first one. So in the first one you’ll be unlocking stuff and in the second one you can still do all those things and some extra stuff you’ll have to select according to the situation.

Beware though, some of the things they expect you to do can be challenging.

Play on PC if your monitor supports HDR, otherwise Switch’ll do fine.
