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.



Borderlands is like that. You can even tune the difficulty in 3 and Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands


Most likely just the ones from the Netherlands because I can’t really get any others


Mostly unable to make use of certain features. Say your display supports 4k @ 120Hz. If you have an improper cable you might be able to get 4k30 or 4k60, but not 4k120.


First off: cables don’t have version numbers. The host and the client have ports that adhere to a certain spec and the HDMI foundation made that very unclear by incorporating 2.0b into 2.1 and now not every 2.1 port supports the same things. Cables are defined by their max bandwidth, i.e. high speed, ultra high speed or high speed with ethernet. You might see marketers saying something is a 2.1 cable, that just means it is capable of supporting some or all of the 2.1 spec.

Second: the only reason to get new HDMI cables, like you said, is if you currently have a very old one and have devices that actually make use of the bandwidth. And I’ll tell you right now, most of the high speed cables will do just fine. It’s when you start doing 8k120 with HDR and VRR with eARC you’ll need heftier cables. The only external devices to support that, though, are either supplied with cables because their makers don’t want you bottlenecking your device, or they are PCs.

Third: the only reason HDMI is even a thing is because this joint venture behind it successfully lobbied their inferior product to TV manufacturers. DisplayPort has always been and will always be the better interface for video.


I thought I saw Zampella from Respawn saying stuff about it. All we need is for it to be Titanfall x Battlefield 3

Edit: It adds up to what one might call classic Battlefield, but bigger — big enough that it merits the efforts of four separate studios in DICE, Motive, Ripple Effect, and Criterion (Ridgeline Games was briefly part of its development before being shuttered after founder Marcus Lehto’s departure). EA CEO Andrew Wilson claims it’s one of the “most ambitious projects in [EA’s] history.”

Any free online game is gonna be ruined by its community. Do yourself a favour and look for a game you actually like and pay for it.


It looks like it’s just the ability to play as literally anything. No new content or anything.

I wouldn’t mind Castle Crashers 2


Same goes for the Netherlands, though. They’ve only showed they can actually play when they realise they might get knocked out.


Tidal now seems to be cheaper than Spotify. The algorithm gives me pretty similar stuff to what I got from Spotify. I find the desktop app okay.

Big pro they pay the artists better than Spotify does. Another big pro for me is the integration with plex.

Disclaimer: I’ve only had Spotify and Tidal, before I’d just download music, like buying it on Beatport or Bandcamp and host it on my own plex server.


How does Depay rank as one of the best on the Dutch side? As a Dutchy I have to say I am very underwhelmed with his performance. In our attacking third, Gakpo has been way better and Weghorst is the main reason we’re even still in this.


France has been struggling to score at all so either Spain will get lucky (I think Olmo did a great job replacing Pedri) or this will go to a shootout


Noting there are four players with three goals at the moment with only one - Cody Gakpo - still in it.


I liked the Crew as a sort of racing rpg kinda thing


It just really grinds my gears that Deschamps insists on playing like this



Oh so this €1 billion team managed 1 goal from open play in 5 matches? No problem then. They deserve the title.


I saw more chances that should’ve been goals than I expected.

I thought Portugal deserved to win. All in all I think the ref was good, especially compared to the ESP-GER match and all in all it was a fair game.

I do think players should stop all their nonsense when taking penalties. Messi missed a panenka, Ronaldo’s penalty created controversy and Felix just straight up missed it. Look at Mendes who just rams it in the top corner.

Can’t wait to see Spain destroy these French cowards.


I recon this match is going to be super boring. France have not scored a single organic goal and Portugal seem perfectly content passing the ball from side to side of a team just stalls on the edge of the box.


Yeah they also do it in the Dutch football leagues but I was just wondering why


Ah thanks. Yeah I see it all the time and I was just wondering where it came from and why this happens.


Does anyone know why those kids all join these players on the field for the anthems?
