This is absolutely 3dfx level of screwing over consumers and all about just faking frames to get their “performance”.





Built a new computer in anticipation of tariffs and decided to plunge int o Linux gaming with Bazzite. So far so good with proton, just missing a few things like being able to turn off LED’s and keyboard macros with the windows software and hoping I can get away with no dual booting this year.



Man, that was one that never seemed to be on sale. I guess it’s time for the seas.

Depends on how big of a masochist you are and how much jank you can take. :)

Give the original a shot first just to experience it and if it isn’t quite for you, go for 2, you won’t be missing anything and they also cleanup and updated the voice acting so it fits better.


Just fyi in case you didn’t know, pathologic 2 is a expanded remaster of 1. Enjoy the misery and rpg subversion!


The game whose gameplay made misery interesting,bits sequel is releasing in 2025 with a free prelude demo.

Well that just made me facepalm and mutter, “Fucking gamers” out loud this early in the morning.

Fucking seriously, how god damn immature can gamers be.


















Log into Xbox to log into PSN. Just a few more layers and we’ll have Inception.




Honestly, with this and the other rumors it really seems like they’re doubling down on the whole squeezing the gamers with the hard upsale, especially with the 5060 still only having 8GB of memory.


Just their artistic vision and game design philosophy, which I can both respect and go WTF at the same time. Like with their steadfast refusal to provide the option to turn off invasions.


Honestly there needs to be some legislation requiring gaming companies to release the server software if they decide to retire the game.

Man I really miss the 90’s where private servers were how things were done.


The weird thing is that hardware unboxed tested the same overlay settings in the old GeForce app and didn’t see that hit in performance.

Really seems like they have a software bug with this new software.


Really, sure seems like a neutral individual went and did some rudimentary debugging, identified that it wasn’t the entire application and was due to the overlay settings within the app and simply provided an update with whey found out and presented the data, then provided the conclusion that gamers didn’t have to completely uninstall it to mitigate the problem.

Something I would have imagined gamers would like to know but I guess not.


From the original interview:

IGN: Sure. [Laughs] Back to the game, one thing that wasn’t clear to me yesterday. Do you have to play it online in a group of three, or can you also play it solo or in a duo?

Junya Ishizaki: The game is designed to be played as a three-person team, but you can play it as a solo player.

IGN: Oh, great. Or in a pair?

Junya Ishizaki: No, it’s either one-player or three-player.

So it’s either single player or three humans.


Yup, still better to know the cause at least and how to work around it. I know I appreciate a more in-depth look at these types of things.



I guess we'll still need mods for FromSoftware games.

Can't believe they thought this was a good idea to begin with.

Far Cry 7 being limited to 72 hours like Majora’s Mask might actually be a bit interesting.


No the OP did not. I’m literally saying tone does not matter and even if it was a flippant remark, gamers will take that as approval of their bullshit behavior.

Let’s face it, gamers are all too often immature assholes, Westerner, Easterners, wherever.

But whatever, people disagree and that’s fine.


Since last night, I’ve seen a lot of strong dissatisfaction and frustration in players’ comments - often expressed humorously or ironically, which made me laugh,"

Jest or not, this one statement is irresponsible because this will only serve to encourage bad and toxic behavior and you know that’s how immature gamers will take it, as condoning their behavior.



Or how about being a rational gamer and just laugh at the stupidity without resorting to childish, stupid antics.


The gist of it seems to be a Chinese gamers are upset that Black Myth: Wukong didn’t win game of the year and combined with a bad translation made it seem like Sven, who was presenting, instead of his anti-greed speech was translated into basically saying that he knew who was going to win, like he knew beforehand, and game sales aren’t important, and some took that ask he was mocking Black Myth for not winning.

Just language barriers and general gamer stupidity all around.


I mean, it’s a blip but they were trying.

I mean all joking aside, it really is a great classic Lucas arts adventure game. And it’s part of GoG’s game preservation effort.


ACG review.

TL;DW He enjoyed that game but there were enough technical issues so just be aware of the limitations of the game and your rig.

Same thoughts myself, I mean it’s not 80% altruistic, they’re hoping to get market share for their tools which I’m sure they’ll charge for later. However, the photosensitivity tool actually seems useful.

Everything always remains to be seen with these corporations, they have a shit record with consumer friendly practices after all, but I’m still glad that accessibility in gaming has taken off and welcome attempts to make it easier to support.


Just so PC owners are aware, it’s been confirmed that early access will not contain full ray tracing option.

I am very interested in how well various cards will handle the ready tracing options.

Because we’ve seen time and time again where good devs go bad. Especially when they get bought out.


Man, the CEO does not come of very well at all in my opinion. So much handing off blame to Fragile, not seemingly know what is on their agreement with the customer, especially the owning part.

Also, the part where he was pushing why they are pushing such high interest, over double after two years, especially when he’s touting the subscription isn’t for long term was very telling to me. I mean why not offer the user to buy when you’ve made the profit threshold and there was no answer outside of justifying predatory pricing with “but my survey says it’s good!”.

Just solidifies the fact that this is not a company I want to deal with going forward.

Cripes, just buy from any boutique builder with financing and avoid this predatory company.
