Aww come on, what kind of self-respecting, raised by computers via 1990's edutainment games millennial are you? You decide to make an article on Super Solvers, which is awesome, but then make the flabbergasting mistake of not discussing Gizmo’s & Gadgets, at all; even though it >>>>>>>>>> everything else.... Not cool…

Modding BOTW on Switch is currently impossible (and likely to remain that way for the foreseeable future). Only Wii U (after being cracked/jailbroken) & PC (via the full-speed Wii U emulator “Cemu”) unofficially support any kind of direct modding/game manipulation (mostly used so far for 3D character model swaps, i.e.…

Heroin would NEVER have exploded like it has now, had the prescription opioid epidemic not followed immediately prior. And just because rx OD’s have dropped doesn’t mean it’s “over” in any sense on the word. Rx opioids still kill more Americans today than at any other point in the last century, heroin’s just killing…

This, this, a thousand times this. Bed bugs absolutely freaking suck, and will definitely mess you up in the head a little bit, but man oh man scabies are simply on a whole ‘nother level entirely. The sensation of constantly feeling things crawl underneath your skin without being able to see the mites themselves (just…

You obviously haven’t spent anytime in SLC recently. That place is popping like you wouldn’t believe; feels absolutely electric in a way an already well established city/economy like NYC simply can’t match, no matter how many more eons and eons of people they have living there.

Haha way to go the extra mile. When I was writing my original post I debated on explaining just how the construction cores didn’t really have the core counts they said they did, but decided it was too much work. And Ryzen most definitely does, I’ve been up and running with a Ryzen 7 1700 (@ 3.95GHz) since almost…

If your 8-core chip is an AMD Ryzen 7, you have the game/Cemu set-up wrong. Ryzen 7 will eat BOTW for breakfast. If you have an old AMD FX chip though, 1st it’s not really an 8-core chip, 2nd that’s about as far from “overkill” as possible haha and it’s time to upgrade. Both AMD’s Ryzen/AM4 & Intel’s Coffee Lake/Z370…

Step #1 Buy a used og Wii for say $20. Step #2 Buy a used copy of SSB: Brawl for say $10. Step #3 Install Project M on an SD card as needed for personal flavoring/taste if you find og Brawl too slow. Step #4 Be father of the year. Step #5.... Profit.

I like this guy. He gets it. And your guess would be right. If the research I studied in college a few years back still holds, adult female on male sexual assault (i.e. not statutory, where some student brags to his friends about his teacher conquest) is the least reported form of sexual assault by it’s victims, per…

Those were all cases involving not just minors, but students & teachers. That’s a scenario where gender becomes FAR less important to perception. (Though it’s definitely still a factor, and the improvement in viewing these women as abusers should be applauded). If these had been stories on adult men abused by adult…

Crews wasn’t assaulted by a woman. Man on Man sexual harassment gets a similar modern societal response to traditional Man on Women examples, which for most people (ofc there are exceptions bc disgusting people exist and always will) is general sympathy & understanding for the victim and an understanding that guilt…

Provo eh.... In that case, can’t much blame ya for leaving ;). Honestly I can’t much handle Utah County for extended periods anymore; I get not just stir-crazy, but stir-freaking insane haha (though my parents live in Alpine and my G-ma in Orem), so I try to stay on this side of the point of the mountain as much as…

Been fixed on this model. Next time, read the article first.

*facepalm*. Uhh.... maybe next time try reading the article first...

Lulz I did exactly the same thing about 20min out haha.

Lol a fellow Utahan here? I live in SLC, drive 20 minutes in any direction and then there’s Hiram’s a plenty haha. (Or perhaps just someone else that knows slightly obscure Mormon facts).

I’ve consistently found games to be the most fertile, exciting, and creative ground for narrative in the 21st century imo. The Golden Age of Peak TV made a valiant battle, but the stuff people are doing in games these days is simply on an entirely different level. If you can, check out 1 or both of those games I just…

All the hand drawn cel animation is all done at the traditional 13fps, but the game itself runs at 60 iirc. The cel animation looks just as old-timey choppy as the real deal, but the gameplay is as tight and responsive as any other tight 60fps game of this type.

SteamLink happened and they became pretty much irrelevant. Why buy a 2nd PC for the living room when you can just stream your normal PC to your TV for like $25.

To answer your game question, yes. Emotionally resonant narrative arcs have been a fundamental part of gaming for a looong time now (ever aided by increasing technology limits). At this point in time there are actually entire genre’s specifically focused at doing just that (traditional “gameplay” being a secondary or…
