Nah, it’s not the DRM. ACOrigins just does some cryptomining while you’re playing.

Well, fidget-spinners were a flash-in-the-pan phenomenon. Streaming has now been around for long enough that people are actually making careers from it and it’s more-or-less part of the public consciousness. I don’t really see it going away until the next iteration of it comes around and is even bigger.

That makes sense, but where does one even begin looking for an audience? Or do streamers just start a stream and wait to be found by one? I occasionally see threads announcing streams in some of the game subreddits I frequent, but they’re almost universally met with disdain for, what I can only assume, is adding more…

It’s a bit of a catch-22, though. You can either leave the assets uncompressed and force users to put the game on an SD card, which will load slower, or use compressed assets and force the system to decompress them on use, which will also inflate load times in addition to requiring more system memory (something that’s…

Space isn’t the only consideration, either. On-board NAND is going to be way faster than an SD card at loading. Even with a Class 10 U3 SD card (the fastest that I know of right now), on-board NAND is going to blow past it. Unfortunately, on-board space isn’t expandable like just swapping out an SD card. I guess what…

“It’s time to start working on other things so that when I’m done fighting, I can be a great caster in H1Z1 or PUBG or Street Fighter or anything, really,” he said in a phone interview last week.

Funny video. Your cadence and voice are oddly similar to the FilmCow videos on Youtube.

I found the single-player to be pretty tedious, but multiplayer is another experience entirely.

A kid that can turn into a dragon? Now I just miss the Breath of Fire series.

If I could see Bayek’s nipples, I’d agree with you.

Dying is the natural course of events. EA is a murderer.

“Captain, they’ve adapted!”

There are two things about Brotherhood of Steel that were good: it’s relegated to a now defunct system, and it was short. Short enough to complete in one self-loathing-filled afternoon provided you were stuck in Ludovico-style apparatus and forced to play it.

They may not. I believe it’s more for the benefit of streaming downloads.

You may not have noticed it, but the GoG installer absolutely pre-allocates hard drive space before installing. Or, rather, the GoG Galaxy installer does. I don’t know if the standalone installers do.

I don’t know exactly why the process takes so long, but it’s a necessary step. It essentially is doing what it says and allocating a chunk of disk space to install the game to. Depending on what Steam is actually doing, it could be as simple as comparing install size to free space, but because it can take a while…

Are you installing to an SSD? Using a faster hard drive for your Steam installs almost entirely alleviates this issue.

I wonder how much of isoku’s work is in this, since it basically sounds like  a combination of his “Wet and Cold” and “iNeed” mods.

That is something I had no idea that I wanted.

The cat at work...
