BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAA...

I think we care too much about balance in single player games, honestly. Approach it like you’re trying to craft your personal character in the game instead of trying to find an optimal solution, tone down the difficulty some if you’ve accidentally made a poorly optimized character, and you’ll probably enjoy it a fair…

I’m kinda at a point where I’m definitely not excited, but I am rather intrigued. Like, on the level of Cyberpunk 2077, where I feel like I’ll enjoy it enough to make the purchase worthwhile and I’m more curious to see what it’ll do and see where things fall apart.

100%. This is also why companies are so careful these days of letting real numbers actually leak out, because they want to always be able to present a positive image.

Its less that power corrupts and more that power reveals. A genuinely good person, when given power, will not be turned into an evil monster. But a person with dark parts in them that they keep in check because they’re afraid of the consequences of acting poorly...

If you read further in the blog (or I will so that you don’t have to), you’ll see that there’s some funky math going on here. “You might at first divide 56,697, the number of September’s MAU by 30 and come back with the number 1,866,” wrote Decentraland, acknowledging that is far from the 8,000 that they claim. “A…

Aye. The use cases for VR tech in the workplace do exist (I wonder if VFX and computer animation teams would find it useful?), but its a lot like motion control and voice recognition software: for 95% of what a person needs to do in most jobs, the existing technology is easier, simpler, cheaper, more widespread,…

The thing is, Activision-Blizzard used to know how to do trailers like this. Their Black Ops 2 “Surprise” trailer is legitimately great, even though its stuffed to the gils with shameless celebrity cameos and no gameplay footage, because it effectively gets across what playing the game is supposed to feel like, and…

Depends on the language of the waivers, and there are things that a waiver cannot actually waive.

Not to mention the sorts that only use it to make jokes, said in the same manner as someone as used to derisively calling people, shall we say, bundles of sticks.

I’m not sure how much sympathy we should be reserving for a hard-working Empire cop, but Meero’s righteous frustration will only build from here, I imagine.

Ubisoft’s Big 2018 Pirate Blockbuster Delayed Yet Again

Oh, kindly fuck off. No, not everyone should lose weight. There are people who are at a perfectly healthy weight, and others that are already underweight, and losing more weight would be dangerous.

Rogue One was a mess on a tonal and construction level, an example of a Star Wars property afraid to go really, truly dark and morally dubious...

KOTOR introduced the term “Kath Crap”, said in the same manner as “Bull Shit”... and really, it has a pretty good mouthfeel, wouldn’t mind if more Star Wars properties used that term :D.

...those monsters on Reddit and Twitter might finally be useful for something!

It’s not exactly a flattering trailer, but I think they’re overreacting to it. It does look like the doc would be bringing up the legitimate grievances that the Reddit crowd has with the financial institutions, and while that last line is almost as cringe as me saying the word “cringe” is, look, trailers shouldn’t be…

Yeah, this is just looking ugly and childish for Carlsen. Frankly, he just looks like a sore loser at this point, refusing to comment, refusing to actually lay down an accusation, just winking and signaling and letting his supporters do the actual work for themselves.

The thing you have to keep in mind is that the behind the scenes stuff that you saw way back when was... still pretty polished.

And the debug spam is also totally normal, because you want to be able to see at any time what the game is ‘thinking’ when something bad/weird happens.
