Live well and live broadly. You are alive and living now. Now is the envy of all of the dead.

Hackers salivating at the idea of taking down PSN again for over a month and turn every PS5 into overpriced paperweights.

Also it’s the Xbox One’s “always on” thing again. But for real this time.


Okay. But Ubisoft removed the OG version of AC 3. When it’s remaster got release.


I can’t wait to see how they fuck it up and remove the OG version from stores.


I find it funny. How they put out the demand to dox yourself on the anniversary of the PSN hack.


Another extraction shooter to add to the pile. RIP

Console is easier (plug in and play). But console gaming is more expensive in the long term.


So that’s $899.99. How is console gaming cheaper then PC again?

Insanely impressive that it’s able to do that in real time.








  • adds account level progression and skill trees
  • game shuts down forever in a week

🤦



No. They’re milking Final Fantasy 7 fans. FF7 remake reminds me of the Rebuild of Evangelion movies. An pointless remake, they got it right the first time.



This series was over. When Team Silent were disbanded in 2005.





Horizon the most astroturfed IP franchise of all time.

Who wants this?


Final Fantasy III, IV, VIII and IX are now available on GOG

It’s a generic shooter, does nothing new or different.




Ubisoft, the people who fucked up Assassin’s Creed + ninjas. How can you fuck what up? It’s a easy home run, but no.

RIP Ubisoft.

Being a 500 person studio with a 400 million dollar publisher means you still qualify for the Indie™ Game Awards but using ChatGPT to make a random powerpoint is just a bridge too far.

Apparently Blue Archive, the game that was given the award after they disqualified E33, ALSO used AI.




All roads lead to Overwatch.🤦‍♂️

Even though despite the usual “RIP Windows” circlejerk. Steve still made it abundantly clear that gaming on Linux is still buggy and that these results are not directly comparable to Windows.


How to opt out:

Step 1: Turn off Smart Features in Gmail, Chat, and Meet settings

  • Open Gmail on your desktop or mobile app.
  • Click the gear icon → See all settings (desktop) or Menu → Settings (mobile).
  • Find the section called Smart Features in Gmail, Chat, and Meet. You’ll need to scroll down quite a bit.
  • Uncheck it.
  • Scroll down and hit Save changes if on desktop.

Step 2: Turn off Google Workspace Smart Features

  • Still in Settings, locate Google Workspace smart features.
  • Click on Manage Workspace smart feature settings.
  • You’ll see two options: Smart features in Google Workspace and Smart features in other Google products.
  • Toggle both off.
  • Save again in this screen.

Fuck them for double dipping and not giving owners of the OGs upgrade options.


The only problem with the game is it’s a UE5 game. So you have to use upscaling frame generation. It hurts the look of the game. Outside of that, it’s my GOTY.










We've done a lot of testing on DLSS4 and FSR 4 (and 3.1) to inspect image quality frame-by-fake-frame in addition to upscaling image quality. At times, these technologies serve their purposes well; DLSS in particular has gotten a lot better with its transformer model and FSR has substantially improved with version 4. We have a lot of criticisms of the fake frame technologies -- especially benchmarking them on normal charts -- but they do have a place in some situations. Now, we're looking at Lossless Scaling and Lossless Frame Generation (sometimes called Lossless Scaling Frame Generation, or LSFG). This tool is highly versatile and does more than just upscaling for select games (and frame generation), but we're really only focusing on those two core use cases today. It's not as good as the tools built by multi-trillion dollar companies, but for something basically independently built and sold on Steam (and for $7), it's not a big loss to try.
