I just recently got a new computer a month ago. Went from a GTX1060 to a RTX 2070. Even with my 1060 I was able to play everything and even went through HL Alyx in VR without any trouble. My graphic card was still good enough but it was my CPU and RAM that were showing their age. 7 year old stuff. The kind of age…

Or when there is too much customization possible and you say “fuck it” and hit the Random option.

The offended speak the loudest. We live in a world where being offended somehow make people feel right about their own opinion. Gender can be a spectrum but opinions are black or white and if your opinion is white then it means you are a fucking racist Nazi homophobe who deserve to burn? You don’t agree with someone?…

The compatibility when you could pop a disc in was hardware based for the very first PS3 model. Then there was a model that was half hardware and half software. Then it was removed for good but many years later they started selling PS2 games on the PSN. Those are 100% emulation.

They already had figured out for PS2 back on PS3. Even on the non backward compatible one you can get PS2 games on the PSN and they are emulated versions. The thing is that they are probably tested and optimized and debugged to make sure they play well. Same for the PS4 versions of PS2 games. They are emulated and…

I remember many years ago when Steam did a thing where they gave a few people the top 10 games in your wishlist for Christmas and one of the guy that won had some train simulator game and it also gave him all the DLC. Those train games have soooo many trains you can buy as DLC that it would cost over 1000$ to buy it…

What’s the alternative? Human sacrifice at slumber party? I admit media would go crazy for a title like that.

The problem of the launch PS3 and the 360 was that electronics were switching to “green” soldering at that point and it wasn’t working out too well. Repeat heating and cooling would make the soldering crack. That’s why the “towel trick” was working some. You would basically overheat the console to the point the…

It’s an interesting choice to have a regular console and an entry level model available right away instead of a normal model and a more powerful one available later on. It might be a risky thing for later on as games developed in 4 years will also need to be playable on the entry model. If a developer chooses to boost…

They turned her into Wildstyle from the lego movies?

I love Mario’s Picross. I never fully finished it. About halfway through before I got a save corruption. I also tried picross 3d on the DS but it didn’t have the same charm.

It’s just a pregnancy test shell with a small OLED screen inside. It’s not running or being controlled from the pregnancy test itself. You could put that screen inside a 1970s computer and claim it’s running on it too. “Doom on everything” is only impressive when it’s running on the actual hardware. Those tests use 8-b…

Not everything comes down to straight up money and direct price. A lower rate, a few free games can also be a business tactic even if that doesn’t directly generate money. They want people and developers to all migrate to their service so in the long run they make more money since everything will be Epic store only.…

Apple is greedy. Their junk is overpriced. BUT I havent seen them disguise their greed as self righteousness like Epic is trying to do at the moment since the old Mac vs PC ads. That’s the difference that in my opinion make Epic’s greed a worse kind. Apple goes “we feel 30% should be our share, pay or leave” while…

Greed is when they are not happy about giving a cut to Apple and decide to cut them out, lower the price of the fake money by selling it themselves but at the same time raise their profit on it. Then make propaganda video claiming they are doing this for the people. The whole entire situation all comes down to that…

Or if there was a game as huge as Fortnite on Epic that had a lot of micro transaction but all made in a store inside the game bypassing the Epic store payment and cut. I’m sure they would be thrilled for the developer and would not even consider for a single second to take any action to get their share.

But it’s 2020 now. Steam was the first big one so when they added that stuff it was an evolution. What others need to do is just implement it. They don’t need to take years to evolve to the same point. I bough Spore creature creator from the EA store back in the days and that store just ended up disappearing and got…

Interesting but we really can’t judge the game yet based on CGI trailer. Every Arkham CGI trailer have always been quite different than the final games.

When Sony or Microsoft have exclusivity it’s usually because they paid for the development. It might have taken Valve 17 years to get Steam to where it is now but why doesn’t Epic even implement a cart feature? If they can’t even do that then good luck getting any help from them if you have a game that doesn’t work…

They take a smaller cut only as a way to bring more developers and people to their platform. They have no shame in paying for exclusivity deal to force more people into the Epic store. That is far from giving people the liberty to choose where they buy stuff from. If all they did was take a smaller cut once again it…
