Yeah this goes back to 2005 and you see the devergince in 2008 if you go back to 1970 you will see a bigger devergince.

Very true random selection of a secretary for a woman in 1985 would have been 16k and would translate to 47k in 2025. My point being when they show how expensive stuff was they never show what wages would be if adjusted. Not the person on this thread but when journalists do it they never want to show that value to show how screwed some people are. As they see they are still making the 1985 wage in the year 2025.

That looks awesome reminds me of a level from the game UnEpic.

What I find interesting is they never adjust for inflation wages. Like if you were making $60k a year in 1885. What would that be in today’s money? That would be $178k. Or 118k for 40k in 1985. My question to everyone. are you making the 2025 values?

I saw this it’s very sad but if you have to lay off people this is the classy way to do it. Loved the call out to other studios to hire their people and tried to give them a soft landing with severence.

This is not the same as the other studios it’s not some dumbass trying to make live service games that no one wants. It’s a shame more people are wasting their time and money on live service vs rich story telling and beautiful worlds.

Yep i think they are looking to reduce down stream of releasing features before they do. It’s shitty but it’s not going closed source. They would have to rewrite the whole thing to go close source. They could do that but the version we have is ours they can’t take it away.

Also it’s not going closed source it just doing closed development with pushing the code over the wall at release time.

Yep i also ran my own server with a the sniper war mod. If you wanted to play that mod my server was only a handful servers setup to play it. We had a good group Randos would come in and the ones that stuck around became mods and any changes to the server. We held a vote with the regulars and the mods and myself. There were times I was even out voted and we implemented stuff I didn’t agree with.

Yeah I still remember team fortress classic servers I would go back to all the time. It was nice to go into a server where everyone knew your name. It was like being a regular at a restaurant or bar.

Visual novels and walking Sims like firewatch and What Remains of Edith Finch are just point and click adventures in a different dimension.

As a huge myst fan myself i fired up my save of myst 2021 and played rime. The day the update came out came out. The books really enhance the game series. The new remake of Riven is top notch.

Yeah what I never got was how did they find new perfect builds if you were not allowed to play the game freely to try new things. I mean I known the answer it was data mining but at that point is it a game or a job and you are just going through the motions. What ever happened to GG and you in something you lose some but we all had fun.

League of Legends, Dota2

To answer your question yes both unity and unreal both support development on Linux like you said DirectX is the only odd man out for obvious reasons.

Good choice new version is just around the corner as well

Nice what distro you pick

Manual Correction is a weird way of saying Install Linux

That’s how you know it’s was written by GenAI

By that point you will have to buy the Mico fission reactor addon to power the 6090. It’s like Nvidia looked at the power triangle of power / price and preformence and instead of picking two they just picked one and to hell with the rest.

No but it would be nice if it would turn back in the tool it was. When it was called machine learning like it was for the last decade before the bubble started.

So I have played both and while I like both be aware Neva plays different. There are fail states unlike gris. So the flow is different but still good. I never got frustrated with gris and did slightly with Neva

Satisfactory 1500 hrs

In the past it was Link to the past character select screen music. Today Satisfactory start up menu music that game must generate a time dilatation field. I swear I only play for 10 mins then it’s 5am and I have to go to work.

This is a game I beat years ago and I still think about it. The ending made me just sit there and think in silence for a while.

So far it’s only like +1 level so they may have done some balance changes

Everspace 2

Yeah I was excited for halo when it was previewed as a PC game first then MS took it for Xbox never got into it

Cause the internet can’t be fun anymore. if only there were a place where you could make your own server. Maybe some prehistoric creature would know.

Very cool takes for the info. Yeah still to this day I use right click for jump in all my games from playing quake 2. It seems weird on modern shooters but old habits die hard. The new update to quake 2 has really injected new life into quake 2 ctf.

Awesome I have never heard of this and I will be checking it out

Yeah growing up with that and quake 2 modern games always feels like im running in quicksand or my controls are broken.

Both go back to 90s tech so you lose a lot of functionality. Gemini is mainly text based with links to files. So think pre web text pages at University’s but it’s cool to read people’s pages without all the distractions of images and video. I have read some cool stories on there. Got an awesome cookie recipe as well from a person in Denmark.

That exists it’s called tildeverse and gemini

the problem is CEO after you bought your $100 game for your $700 console. “We could boost profits so I can get my bonus this quarter by enabling microtransactions anyway and shut down the severs on the game you bought after a year. Because not enough people are buying the game anymore and we don’t offer dedicated servers like we did for 20 years with no issues but now it’s too hard. We will keep the severs going but you need to buy a subscription.”

If you feed the beast more it just craves more to be full. I would have no problem paying the same prices for games in the 90s adjusted inflation. If wages had kept up with productively. Hell they can even keep the cost reduction going from carts to CDs or downloads.

Also the Steam Deck is $349 right now.

you all are my kind of people

you have way more Faith than me. 3 months after I have bought played and beaten a game that is titled Half Life 3. then i might start to believe it’s real. I wait the 3 months to make sure Valve doesn’t Delete the game from my stream account and send men with those memory wipe things from men in black movies after I play it. For all i know they have already done it.

yeah but not going to get it. Burn me one shame on them but burn me twice shame on me.

Test Drive unlimited 2 was sadly very limited and dead for a few years now. but it was a nice open world racing game. even if I didn’t want to race I would just go for s drive.

just sounds like copyright laundering to me.

I’m a big fan going back to 96 but I still don’t get what’s different between this and the directors cut? Wasn’t DC in HD already?
