Thanks that makes a lot more sense

I’m still trying to decode that sentence.

“You know, all of the AI-generated content increasingly looks similar and they’re all beautiful and so I’m empathetic towards what they’re thinking.”

Who does he mean by “they”? Who’s beautiful? Who’s he empathetic towards?

Single player it’s fun too. I can’t help but feel it doesn’t have a lot of replay ability to me personally once i get out of the early game. By summer it just becomes the standard checklist for me.

This is crazy talk. There’s always so much to add and improve!

My neighbor was a shithead. There were lots of places where masks were mandatory, so she got herself a “protest mask” which was a decorative mask - almost like a thin chainmail - that didn’t actually do anything. Stupid people are assholes.

I had to put a jumper on the motherboard to do a hard BIOS reset on my son’s PC, and format the hard drive and do a fresh OS install. There are reddit threads and YouTube videos of people doing the same. I consider that bricked, but I suppose your definition could be more extreme.

Battlefield 6 was the best-selling game in the U.S. in 2025.

Wow that’s surprising to me considering how it required Secure Boot enabled, which bricked a lot of people’s PCs. I installed the beta for my son and thought “there’s no fucking way the average gamer is going to be able to do this.”

Nice article. I had no idea GoldenEye was rereleased a few years ago! I’ll have to check it out.

Dammit… Now I’m gonna have to play Stardew Valley again for the next few months.

Seems like the article mentioned Steam numbers, which is probably a bit off considering most people are probably still using Battlenet.

Crazy how repeating a false narrative allows it to stick. That’s why these ass clowns are always so quick to get in the first word and say shit like Renee Nicole Good was a domestic terrorist. Spouting bullshit is powerful.

Renoir’s battle theme is the best song I have ever heard in a video game before. For a while, my YouTube algorithm was taken over by streamer reactions to hearing that song for the first time in game, because universally people were just stunned like “holy shit this is amazing”.

Yeah the game is just straight up amazing. I laughed because I saw an article about the streamer, Shroud, complaining about how Expedition 33 shouldn’t have won because Arc Raiders was so great - but then admitted he hasn’t played Expedition 33.

Not sure, somehow I heard nothing about it until today!

So apparently they announced this in a trailer a couple weeks ago? How the hell did I miss that?!

Lol I dunno. This is the first I’ve heard of it. I’ve been on Lemmy all week too!

Bonus Panel:

Release date announced? It’s this week?!

Am I having a stroke?

Lol at first I thought “no way am I watching a 17 minute video about this.” But I was wrong. Captivating and hilarious the whole way through.

My son wanted to play the Battlefield open beta over the weekend. It legitimately took me 4 hours to get their shitty kernel anti-cheat shit working. I can’t imagine the average non-technical person being able to do that just to play a game.

Still mad that they fucked up KSP2. I realize it was a different studio, but I’m not happy about it.

This is such a concise and accurate description of everything that’s wrong with corporations.

I’m curious if this is a straight port or if they updated anything.

I think there are a few unchecked bots that do that. Every once in a while I’ll make a post or comment and it goes to 0 immediately.

I started and stopped Red Dead 2 several times over a few years, because while I enjoyed the story at first, it just wasn’t gripping. Then eventually you get to a point where the story picks up and you’re hooked. It has such a good ending.

I just finished playing this game on PC. I didn’t know you could get Ship of Harkinian to run on a Steam Deck! I would’ve liked that so much more than using a mouse and keyboard!

In a 2019 Ars Technica documentary video, Meier said he’d saved two of the Compaq Deskpro 386 computers, but one of them exploded when he tried to boot it up due to the dust in the power supply.

Lol that sucks. “Hey look guys! I found my old PC, let’s power it on” BOOM “Well… shit.”

Nice! Hope you enjoy it.

The pantheons was the only thing I never beat. Shit’s crazy.

I loved To the Moon. Imposter Factory was great as well.

Do you need to have played the first one for the campaign to make sense?

I remember playing Full Throttle as a kid, but never beat it. Kind of tempted to go back through and see if I can figure it out as an adult.

That was my first thought as well! It is a perfect summer game to play over a week or two. Feels like it has a good, tight story.

Lol I am on the opposite side of the spectrum. I’ve unlocked everything possible with medals and am constantly looking for them to add new content for me to spend them on.

Maybe I’m in the minority here, but I’d gladly pay more for Weird Al enhanced hardware.

The key to XCOM is never to sprint (run with both halves of your action meter) if you can avoid it. Move with half the action, the fire or overwatch.

I enjoyed the XCOM-like parts, but couldn’t stand the running around, material gathering stuff. Just let me be super heroes non-stop battling bad guys, with a little bit of room between fights for upgrades. I don’t want to go fishing with Blade.

I recently started a new Stardew playthrough after leaving it for a couple years. Damn that game is so good. It’s like a perfect little dose of relaxation.

I’m about to leave town for the weekend so missing out on most of the new patch. Hope you dispense some liberty on my behalf!

Thanks. I’m sure I can find one on the high seas.
