FFXIV, but this doesn’t mean much because it’s dependent on what genres you like.

Most historically significant? Ultima 4, Wizardry 1, Pool of Radiance, Mario 1, Metroid 1, FF4, Chrono Trigger, FF7, Mario 64, Zelda OoT, Counterstrike, Starcraft, Diablo 1, WoW, Cave Story, World of Goo, Minecraft, Skyrim, Dark Souls, Zelda BotW

It’s preserving history!

What a shitty title. Consoles will be happy to get this

Trog

Good AI art should be completely invisible, like when romcom movies with no visible CGI are actually changing the entire sky in certain scenes. People were able to spot the flaws here instantly.

Or if you’re a 1 man studio living in their parent’s basement, go nuts with it. This is a gigantic company that could afford to hire humans.

People don’t get bored of playing/watching the same sports their whole lives

I got that bundle at 92% off and it took me 2 years to finish. It was awesome

I love SR 3 and 4. But with SR2022 costing twice as much as FF16 it makes sense why it had to be this way

I’ve heard of some edge cases where Wine is now a better option than native windows for really weirdly built 2000s era games. But overall most won’t run better since they have to use a compatibility layer. The point is they do run and my computer isn’t just for gaming. Windows has gone deep into enshittification for ten years now, and it’s worth trading some FPS to Wine to not have to live with that.

Also this only matters for new games. If you’re a HoMM3 addict or only care about emulators there’s no downside.

It’s the opposite tbh. If you want to play emulators or old (as in 2015) PC games via Wine/VM, mac has you covered. It’s newer games that are tougher because 80% of them don’t get ports and Wine/VM will have to turn down the graphics to run well.

Even so, I can still run most modern games at medium settings with a low-tier, 2 generations old mac. Small price to pay for avoiding windows’ godawful UX, ads, tracking, ai spam, onedrive spam, monthly subscription for solitaire, etc.

They make a good ergo keyboard (this is the only nice thing I can think of)

Same here, have never owned a graphics card in my life. When I occasionally do want a modern game it doesn’t need to be 200FPS RTX.

With recent big game releases, it’s become obvious that a game is either a resounding success, or complete shit. There doesn’t seem to be any middle ground.

You’re saying this from a player opinion perspective which is accurate, but it’s also interesting that companies act the same way. If a big game doesn’t make 10 zillion dollars now there’s a good chance the entire company gets shut down.

rip discord. Shareholders cause enshittification

Try new genres, you’ll get bored of gaming if you stick to GTA adjacent things for your whole life.

Great, but why this game in particular? It was never one of the top sonics

13-3 and 14 1.0 are complete trash imo. And some of that era leaked into 15, sending it into development hell. But aside from that, no. They’re held to a higher standard so a FF that’s only a B+ is seen as a complete failure and the internet spends a decade hateposting about it.

Audio companies sell headsets with mics too

Never buy “gaming” audio gear. Audio is the same no matter what you use it for. Buy something in the $100 price range marketed for audio production. The design will be plain and solid black, but you’ll get at least 50% more value for your money. Sennheiser is usually good.

iirc sega recently decided that persona and yakuza have to release one game every year. They just hide it well since lots of them are remakes or optional sidegames

If you ever get into a EMMI QTE you’ve done something wrong. The QTE is a glorified game over screen, the 1% chance of escaping is only there to make it scarier with false hope

Going to use this thread to recommend AM2R which is so high quality Nintendo could have made it themselves. It also has a great Prime-style OST in a 2d game which none of the other games have done

(fuck nazis, but) bro you are 10000% too deep into this. It’s just an operating system. You might as well boycott paper because they use a lot of that in the white house too

I’ve never heard of SE being known for bad code except for when they first started doing pc ports. 13-1 and 13-2 were bad but they figured it out by 13-3.

Just get a switch, the entire crisis about this gen causing a second industry crash is nonexistent over there. We got like six new games for xmas

Think I know what happened here. Apple will reject updates if there’s anything broken or outdated in it. ie, support for a new screen aspect ratio, the dynamic island thing, new processor type, new version of Xcode, etc. Square can’t just fix one bug and ship it, they have to also check for and update anything that may have fallen a few years out of date. Sometimes you just recompile and click a few new checkboxes, sometimes it’s more work. If the app’s profits are winding down already, it could make more sense (to bean counters who don’t care about game preservation) to retire the app entirely.

If somehow id1 was wiped off of all computers in the world

Includes videos, screenshots, etc

He’s probably right but it feels like I accidentally clicked on a ragebait channel and my algorithm is going to be weird for a few days.

The Jan 20 tweet linked in the article is uncensored

I did use slack; we had general channels with tons of people and smaller channels/meeting rooms with 5-30 people. If it was a 5-30 channel they can be found.

Fuck off; this is doxxing and mass harassment. If you want social change go ahead but do it peacefully.

Even so, they’re going find this person fast. ABK staff just has to cross reference all the participants of leaked meetings

more options is good

Most FPSs give me the same feeling. Whenever I play one I keep a second relaxing game going as well because some days it’s not the right call

When that game came out I bought AC4 for $5 instead. Had a fun time and the graphics still look modern anyway

Probably both. But within 5-10 years it’ll only be the realm of tech demos and indie games, not AAA

Tiny models only get stupid like that because you’re taking a general purpose model that knows everything in the world and compressing all that knowledge too much. If you start with a model that only knows basic english and info about a few hundred things in the game, it can be much smaller.

I know prices are static, all those 90s games cost me $60 too. Part of the reason why i can’t blame them that much

This seems fine given the scale of the game and assuming it’s not bad, but it’s more worrying how it will lead to $100 shovelware five years from now. We already had Zelda at $70 (also worth it) so i could see a trend forming.

They don’t need a ton of ram if you use a tiny LLM customized for the game’s use cases, and that’s what games would be doing.
