Polished gem vs polished turd.

Thought for sure I heard they were shutdown ages ago, guess not.

Randy can swallow my dick.

As far as I know he’s also, ironically, staunchly anti-piracy.

I hope you can disable this, or at least hide the games from Steam, because the Xbox App is fucking awful and I’d much rather it show its own, so I don’t have to look for them.

To be expected, mainstream audiences would pay Nintendo to fuck them up the arse if it meant more Mario.

What examples can you give of their enshittification?

Yeah, I felt that was a weird choice too.

I have my doubts.

Yeah, I imagine there will be a decent amount of people sailing the high seas, for this very reason.

3 is definitely not peak.

Maybe, but the article says it debuted to 300k, then dwindled down to 150k.

I disagree but I do fucking suck at it.

Not really, there are several mod lists with varying levels of changes, that can be installed automatically, and most mods otherwise work.

I’m convinced RL 2 will come out before they upgrade it to UE5.

The original horse armour is included in the base game, but there’s more horse armour in the deluxe edition

Arthmoor is probably at least half the reason the Community Patch for Starfield exists, and why I hope there will be an equivalent for the next elder scrolls when it eventually comes out.

Might as well insert grim reaper opening doors meme here.

Think it’s better for it to be cancelled than for the Titanfall name to be besmirched by an extraction shooter.

The Steam UI in general is a mess, probably one of my least liked parts of it.

There are games that do that, often called something like “high resolution texture pack”. People usually recommend against downloading them, because any potential increase in quality is usually met with severe performance or load time issues.

Need to enter torpor to actually see this game come out huh?

I think it’s because life sim games are hard to make, and up until recently, no one thought it was worth the effort to make one, when most people would just stick to The Sims. It probably helps that TS4 has been out for so long, and TS5 or whatever they want to call their next one, seems far away.

Practically none really, but there are competitors coming out at least, primarily this and Paralives, probably because people are sick of EA’s shit.

Meanwhile, HL2 RTX Remix…

Even that would be difficult for any developer.

Other than optimisation, I’m also worried about the gameplay. It’s one thing to have a good character creator and builder, but what about actually playing the game?

Seems alright.

I just fucking want HE joysticks.

Not the same guy then, still cool though.

The Musa of Mali? The one who was incomprehensibly rich?

Oh OK, he’s trying to sell something, what a surprise…

Twitch does this quite often, I don’t know why they get called bans either. Nonpermanent “bans” are a thing, but in the case of a widely used service like Twitch I think it’d make more sense to call them suspensions like you said.

Using AI to aid in development ≠ AI in games.

Hardware Unboxed video about ray tracing, and whether it’s any good, and a follow up video about the performance cost, and whether it’s worth it. Basically, often no, sometimes yes.

Hate to think what the 60 launch is going to be like, jesus. Paying increasingly more for decreasing quality.

Unless you’re specifically directing it toward someone who’s sensitive to it, swearing generally doesn’t harm anyone or make them sad. Whether it’s a good, or bad thing, that swearing has been normalised, the fact is that it has been, at least on the internet.

I don’t care for the quality of either controller tbh. The haptic feedback for the PS5 controller is nice, but until official controllers start using HE sticks, they’re pretty much worthless to me.
