I heard how great the Outer Wilds was, so when I saw The Outer Worlds on sale I thought “oh hey sure I’ll buy that for $15” and I was EXTREMELY confused at why people had said it was the best game you could only play once, because that game wasn’t even fun the first time. I later realized my mistake and got the real deal and oh my god I wish I could forget that game and play it again.

Macs also lack GPUs suitable for gaming. The modern ones are remarkably efficient, partly because they didn’t jam a 4060’s worth of graphic silicon into them. Why would they? Macs are for web browsing, media creation, productivity if you’re in the C-suite and making other people think you’re cool if you’re in a coffee shop. Their users do not expect to run AAA games at 4k60fps.

I don’t understand how the ATX standard hasn’t adopted higher voltage rails for GPUs. Higher volts mean fewer amps which means less heat. 44A through an 8 pin connector is going to make a lot of heat. 11A at 48v would be much better.

Totally agree. It’s silly how much better ToTK is at 60fps.

If you hack your Switch and overclock it up to the stock Nvidia shield speeds most games run a lot better.

Yeah, they’re jerks who happen to produce good games from time to time and build consoles out of parts that are 4 years old at launch.

I believe Nintendo went after Switch emulators because the new Switch shares enough with the original to make it a cake walk to emulate Switch 2 games with better performance.

In many cases, Wine on Linux is better for running decades-old Windows software than Windows 10 or 11.

Be nice, Intel can’t afford real marketing these days.

At least he isn’t making some exaggerated face of extreme surprise. That puts him ahead of most YouTubers.

Because they bring us peace and love.

Describing a soul is task for a philosopher. I merely recognize a familiar spark.

The Outer Worlds is like if you stripped half the soul and the content out of New Vegas, slapped a coat of paint on it and threw a brick on the accelerator.

IIRC they’re replacing damaged chips.

Well, they called it live service, but did they ever really deliver?

And you can emulate the Switch on the Deck.

How much work do you put in farming MS points?

Honestly folks should just never pre-order. In the era of digital goods there’s no selling out the whole stock so there’s no rush to get in front of.

And waiting for the patch that makes it stable, and the sale that makes it a better deal!

Did RDR2 get an update that freshens the game up? I thought Labor of Love was for things like Terraria where the devs keep updating the game over time. I would think that NMS of all titles would be more deserving, unless they have a rags-to-riches sort of award

Bone apple tea.

Don’t worry about the article being light on details, they’ll restart the project a few times between now and release.

They did. Telltale Incorporated folded in 2018. In 2019 LCG Entertainment bought the Telltale name, licensed their content and said, “We are Telltale Games now. We are going to do what Telltale was doing because that’s what we are: Telltale Games. But not that other Telltale that owes that money to people, that’s a different company.”

Well now I guess I need to learn how to make an actual build instead of just running Songbirds and Zimmermanns.

Has there ever been a good game that took over a decade to develop?

The Switch is, in literal actual factuality, an underclocked Nvidia Shield and if you have an older one you can hack it, then restore the clocks to their spec. ToTK runs really well when the CPU, GPU and RAM run at the Shield’s stock speeds.

Hacking a console often involves a bit of work and in some cases that can include physically altering the console. With older Switches you need a PC or Android phone, a USB cable and a little thingy to jump two pins the right Joy-Con rail. There’s a bit of a process to it, but it really isn’t too bad.
