Those analogies don’t really hold up, since you’re comparing to an entire work, not just an element from one of those works. It would be more like saying an article about J.R.R Tolkien is shorter than his longest book chapter, or that a documentary about Stanley Kubrick is shorter than his longest continuous shot.

Sure, but where’s the gas tank on an EV?

I developer friend of mine prefers forums and has complained about Discord replacing forums, yet has a Discord server for his project. Why? Because the followers of his project rarely used the forum he created and repeatedly requested that he start using Discord. So he finally gave in and setup a Discord server, which…

EDIT: Never mind. Looks like malicious aggravated wounding is a pretty severe charge, and fairly comparable to an attempted murder charge.

I agree, and this is something the first game beats the player with over the head repeatedly, particularly with the bandit ambush and the cannibal attacks. These groups of people tried to do something terrible to a pair of travelers who managed to defend themselves, and instead of letting their dangerous prey get…

That’s basically what a player does in the typical RTS or point-and-click adventure game.

If you need mouse and keyboard access while the host computer is powered off or rebooting, it would be useful. Also, it would still allow control in cases where a software solution isn’t available, such as in the BIOS or a pre-install environment.

I use Synergy, and one issue I encounter semi-frequently is temporarily losing keyboard/mouse control if the Synergy service on either computer acts up. It’s also an issue if I need to reboot or power off the host computer. My workaround for this issue is a USB switcher that the mouse and keyboard connect to via a…

Does that even matter? If Fallout Shelter were the best game in its genre, it would still be—and almost certainly was—a disappointment for people who wanted a mobile version of a Fallout RPG. Likewise, if someone watches that trailer expecting an RTS along the lines of Homeworld, getting the very best base-management…

Did Mankind Divided have a crafting system? I don’t remember a crafting system in the original Deus Ex, Invisible War, or Human Revolution.

I’m fine with her not being identified by her *other* career, but I do think she should be referred to by name in the headline. On the same page are multiple articles that mention Elon Musk, Nancy Pelosi, and Henry Cavill by name, instead of calling them billionaire, politician, and actor.

The article may be about the emulator, but Lewa358 was specifically referring to the video that the article is about, in response to someone claiming that there aren’t enough Steam Decks to go around. That video is titled: “Steam Deck is available now, without reservation!”

Immediately below the article’s title, the game is described as ‘delightful’. 

A friend of mine also lacks stereoscopic vision, yet still enjoys VR for all the reasons cited by ‘Ka Mai uses a burner ‘cause he hates social media’’. He likes it enough in fact that he started doing his own hobbyist VR development work and is now looking into working on VR professionally.

Where do you keep coming up with that nonsense 30 years number? Can you name even one mass shooter who has been released on parole after having been convicted? Even in “bleeding heart” California, Charles Manson died in prison, never having been approved for parole. Two of Manson’s co-conspirators have experienced…

I agree. The vast majority of what people tend to think of as zombie games came out well after the Left 4 Dead games. Dead Rising and Resident Evil predate Left 4 Dead, but otherwise just about every well-known zombie game or series I can think of came out after the release of Left 4 Dead. 

In that case, you might want to replay Max Payne 2 on the Dead On Arrival difficulty. Completing it on that difficulty unlocks the alternate ending. While technically only one alteration was made to the ending, that change makes an enormous difference to the conclusion in my opinion. I thought the difference was worth…

It’s too bad your viewpoint is so rare, as I think it’s the only one that makes sense.

Yes, I know, but realizing that a no-fly zone carries some serious existential risk is a far cry from sitting on a couch and saying “la-la-la I don’t want to hear about this war keep it out of my gaemz”.

I didn’t say a no-fly zone was a good idea, but such a widespread sentiment indicates that Americans aren’t trying to ignore the invasion of Ukraine. At the rate the Russian military is going, I wouldn’t be surprised to see people welcoming such politics in games by featuring Russians in much the same way that Nazis…
