It really is the female operator version of every generic unshaven white male lead character and I’m not sure how we went years without calling that stealing/unoriginal. I start to roll my eyes when I have to answer yes to “does the main character vaguely resemble me and about 100 other people I know to hit a target…

Within the first week or so of the initial lockdown New York Times had an article titled along the lines of “It’s ok to play video-games right now.”
Which I took both as a hilarious headline for NYT and also very condescending.

I remember watching TV with my parents as a kid, and my Dad who is absolutely abysmal with…

Pretty sure Plaidcar was the Porsche 911 RSR for the Canadian Motul team at Rolex at the head of 2020.

I definitely get this, especially when I am very inactive ie working from home in a desk for prolonged hours and drinking coffee. I had not used specifically “feeling trapped” but recently described it as “plain faced, but on the inside a terror one would have as their car suddenly flies off a cliff or realizing your…

Before about a year ago I never thought I would be into racing sims, despite the fact I love cars and played a ton of Gran Turismo 3 way back. My brother gave me his G27 collecting dust in his closet while I was helping him move and I haven’t stopped racing since. Dropped the cash on a Fanatec setup along with the…

I have another comment in here somewhere about how it never should have been considered for the PS4. It was never going to work and I consider it one of the most arrogant decisions in game development history.

Put an Art Director, a Level Designer, and an Architect in the same room to collaborate on a building design and see which one leaves the room without a Centique stylus stab wound.
There is no way it was going to work out.

edit:
Better yet, get an intermediate environment modeler and have the Art Director, Architect, and…

I had a stop and realize moment when I finally noticed how well the lip-sync was animated with virtually all dialogue. This is certainly not just sci-fi skyrim with 4 voice actors spewing out one-liners through generic mouth movements and dead body-language. And the reason it took so long to catch on to this was…

Yeah.. As an artist in the animation industry I feel bad for these guys. For a lot of them, this was the ‘project of their career’. To send something off that you put so much effort into basically become an unavoidable media topic of disdain every time you open a browser window or look at your phone, this starts to…

Coming up this week: “EVE Online Christmas Parade actually just Goon Death Train, $1B in real-world ship value destroyed.”

I beat the shit out of Fingers, and then to really send the message I raided his bathroom for all his dildos. Melted them all to upgrade my pants, except a few pricier ones which went for sale at a drop-box.

I’m pretty surprised how good my PC which was a 2016 mid-high build with a hand-me-down 1070 transplanted into it turned out. I did at first glance, sort of hate it. The prologue was a mess and I was really starting to think that I was not going to like it at all. As soon as I got out of the prologue, the whole game…

Oh wow. I actually relaxed on not worrying too much about how permanent my character design choices are under the assumption that I could change it later on anyways... Damn. This feels like an easy update though, they will totally throw in a shop where you can get a haircut or body modification. I’d put a bet on that…

While I am opposed to killing DoF for a game that is cinematically driven, it is annoying in games because you arent really choosing where you are genuinely looking. So yeah.. I killed it.
Motion Blur was blasting when I started the game and I felt that moment of realization that my PC might not be able to run this…

On top of all your fantastic points, we also got our first conceptual teaser for this game in about 2013~2014, kickstarter had just begun taking the early strides in how games are funded, and we all sort of felt like we would see the same timelines whenever a concept trailer is released; or at least we had not learned…

I read something awhile ago and correct me if I am wrong from a decade and a half of memory ago; that the “Reptilian” conspiracy was derived from the Hitler Youth handbook to scare kids into believing that Jewish people were some sort of monster. True or not I have used this to explain to some misguided friends (whom…

I was just browsing this page while revisiting Kerbal Space Program and the ridiculousness of this aircraft really fits the bill for some bazaar aircraft inspiration.

Was just considering hooking up the wheel for some WRC9 but it severely lacks in group B. May still shred Monte Carlo in a Yaris tonight anyways (or at least shred all the panels off the car on those rock faces)

I think a lot of these crashes are from target fixation and not intentional. Getting in a head-on charge tends to lead to both people hope that the other explodes before having to move. On that note, head on charges are great for taking advantage of that mine auxiliary; drop it right before the merge and pull away,…

I ended up dumping another 3 hours into it last night and finally really started having fun. Also strictly in fleet battles now, sometimes you get a group that all use voice chat and we ended up rescuing what felt like a total loss. Through teamwork we went from 99% likely to lose to wrecking the star destroyer in two…
