“CYKA BLYAT VODKA VODKA VODKA”

~Midlane


Dang, I was feeling real smug looking down on these people with my 4134.1 hours.



To clarify they can all be played perfectly normally without any adult content unless the user installs mods.



“Wow you’ve got a lot of 40 minute sessions on Sims 4, Fallout 4, and Skyrim.”

“Yeah I’m a completionist.”

“Do you play with mods?”

“What? No. Why? What have you heard?”


NGL the title always seemed like it wanted to be a mobile game so the studio saying this doesn’t surprise me.

The fact that we’re wasting time talking about this means NBC’s strategy is working.


That’s exactly the sort of thing his work improved. He figured out that graphics hardware assumed all lighting intensities were linear when in fact it scaled dramatically as the RGB value increased.

Example: Red value is 128 out of 255 should be 50% of the maximum brightness, that’s what the graphics cards and likely the programmers assumed, but the actual output was 22% brightness.

So you would have areas that were extremely bright immediately cut off into areas that were extremely dark.


“It’s a bit technical,” begins Birdwell, "but the simple version is that graphics cards at the time always stored RGB textures and even displayed everything as non linear intensities, meaning that an 8 bit RGB value of 128 encodes a pixel that’s about 22% as bright as a value of 255, but the graphics hardware was doing lighting calculations as though everything was linear.

“The net result was that lighting always looked off. If you were trying to shade something that was curved, the dimming due to the surface angle aiming away from the light source would get darker way too quickly. Just like the example above, something that was supposed to end up looking 50% as bright as full intensity ended up looking only 22% as bright on the display. It looked very unnatural, instead of a nice curve everything was shaded way too extreme, rounded shapes looked oddly exaggerated and there wasn’t any way to get things to work in the general case.”


I’m happy that they’re talking about moving the Unreal Engine off the platform.


Honestly, that guy had a great visual overhaul mod and nobody would have given them any crap for a genitals mod if they had simply separated the two.

This game seems to attract all the strangest modders.



Jason but they pronounce it “Jay Sohn.”

Also “Holy shit, its snow white!” as they’re being gunned down from the brush.

EDIT: oh and of course “Did I ever tell you the definition of insanity?”





It’s as if the new admin is trying really hard to find new ways to be face-eating-leopards to the gen z male faces that voted them into power.


TBF an online Windows 7 copy is just asking to be Hacked given Microsoft support ended in 2020 and security updates after that required a paid subscription which ended in 2023.




I was going to ask why the thumbnail on this post is a hexagon shaped bear, but your comment explains it well enough.



Its probably against the Emulator’s License unless they built their own from scratch, and a Windows PC is actually pretty overkill.


If I obtain all the original schematics and software and make 1 Nintendo internals for commercial purposes wothout their permission it would be illegal.

If they do it, it costs them the price of a couple of family dinners at most.

This museum IS NINTENDO. They are the only people allowed to do this job correctly.


This is a “Museum” run by Nintendo in Japan. Meaning they could have used or even created more original hardware to run the titles, but instead cut costs by using the same Emulators that they’re hoping to take down.


Since a lot of you seem to dislike this post, I would love to hear why.



No thats not true. You need to have steam installed and be logged into an account to play a steam game, always.



You know I’m a true RS fan when I say stuff like “Jagex is a shit company run by morons.”


Nothing about that screenshot is “the most impressive” anything tbh.


Buying a Triple A Game has become a liability:

Online Only

Limited Lease via Digital Store with unknown lifespan

User Account Activation

Actual Fucking Rootkits



Good shit. Privacy and Security cannot be a casualty of cheat prevention.


If that technology existed (it doesn’t, probably won’t for decades without noticeable drops in quality) then for the first several years it would be sold exclusively as a premium product subscription locking indie devs out the same way custom builds of Unity Engine or Cloud Computing Suites are.


Sony saw the incredible success of the Stadia and is moving in that direction.
