and if you primarily love games that are released on both consoles anyway - but then prefer the one, where those quality-of-life things are handled in a better way.
If you are dead-set on just playing console-exclusive titles on a console (no matter how good/bad they are), then a playstation has always been a good…

Bioshock 2 Collectors edition, the one with the old record in it.
There were some posters included with it which had hints written on them that were only visible under UV light. Took the prople years to find that out, iirc some fan hung them on a wall in his gaming room where he had some UV lights to illuminate special…

hm, I loved Cyberpunk, even one of the 100 hours I put into my first playthrough, but I couldn’t stomach the Witcher more than half an hour - none of the three games. I own them all because I like CDPR as a company, but I do not like the games. I would more like a game set in the witcher universe where I could play my…

federalism and bureaucracy.
In Germany, every single “Bundesland” has its own way of vaccinating people. How they contact them, when, etc... Plus, we have stages where the old people and people in medical professions come first, then the others etc... all while it is proven, that the youngest children are “disease…

They look very much like the Rift Touch controllers, even the feature list reads the same Note that they didn’t say that all fingers are tracked. Seems oculus started a trend with those.

Germany is very strict if you want to register any vehicle as a historic vehicle (H-plates) which gives you much, much cheaper insurance and taxes (flat tax rate of 150€/year, instead of sometimes over 1000€/year for old, large volume gasoline cars and even more for old Diesel cars).
Very few modifications are allowed,…

I wouldn’t be quite so harsh. With the Fyre Festival, you basically got nothing worth of anything out of it. With SC, you already had years of entertainment, a glimpse inside software development through hundreds of videos, lots of PDFs that either were created as virtual sales brochures for future spaceships (very…

I agree with you 100%.
As of now, we already have a game that is fun to play. If it stays like this, then - well, I hope then they’ll release the server-side tech so everyone can set up some and we can continue creating events and stuff.
Apart from that, I just listened to some very wise words in another stream:
“Star…

I can only partially agree. The problem here is that they did everything from this money: Building a studio with worldwide offices, creating the tech that they needed from scratch and building the stuff that they showed to backers.

The last part is a problem here. Other games like WoW or Diablo3 are 10-12 years in…

yes, and so what?
Some people have disposable income like that. It was always said that the money you invest was a pledge that goes towards game development, and that all of these ships will be available to earn ingame later on (which as of now most actually are, and I know a few players who bought several ingame).
It…

The engine in the 908 was a new construction, since the old engine based on the 804 could only be extended to 2.2 litres which nettet 270hp - not enough to compete at LeMans, even after the 3-Litre-limit of 1968.
So Porsche developed a new engine for the 908, based on the parts of their 6-cylinder-engines. This new…

All games from Microsoft game studios stay there forever iirc. Others are switched through from time to time.

no, in fact very few cost that much to make at all.
But with some games, we never know the true costs. Take p.ex. Forza Horizon 4 - a lot of it was outsourced to countries with cheap labor. Basically all the static asset creation (trees, rocks, etc...) if you follow the endless credits. Probably over 1000 people…

Yes, if there’s one negative thing that can be said about SC that probably everyone agrees on it is that their management structure needs an overhaul. And that needs to happen ASAP.
They are restructuring stuff, since they are now realising that stuff needs to happen faster, but they’ve trodded along for too long,…

They could easily have made the game that was planned at the beginning of the Kickstarter with that money. They could never produce the game that the backers wanted by crying for MORE MORE MORE features with that money, because a lot of that stuff has never been done in a game before, and never in a game of this scale.

I have been working at a gaming company which had a staff of more than 300 people. Those people did not work on a single game - sometimes the number of people necessary to keep an old game that still generates revenue running goes down into the single digits.
These 300 people include marketing, public relations, hr, it…

That is all they took in over all those years. Now factor the expenses against this, and the sum dries up extremely quick.
A game company taking in 200 million/year can easily spend the majority of that on salaries (biggest part), rent and facility costs (in most cases second biggest part) and server infrastructure to…

?? puzzled here, since all 850 are i5, how can they have 24 valves? Should be 20 (or 10 for the low-end engines).
(probably meant another 850 than the Volvo, but I just haaaaaaad to do it :D )

No, it is a car for people who care about build quality, panel gaps, paint finish, fitment of parts etc...
Some are willing to pay more to get a car thats better made, although it has less features and/or power. This has always been a thing. Like, you could buy a Dacia Logan MCV from 7500€ new, but it was more than…

Internet in a nutshell. TV used to work the same way too. Got a chance to buy a slightly mistreated Ford Escort RS Cosworth back in 1998 for 15.000 german Mark. I had the money back then even, but I refrained, because the insurance would’ve not been possible to stomach for me at the beginning of university. Fast…
