Hasn’t pokemon been around...decades?

A bid advantage of building your own, or at least being comfortable changing components, is incremental upgrading. For example, you don’t need to buy a new system just to upgrade a video card. For gaming purposes, your processor, motherboard, and RAM will serve you for years. If you’re disciplined with your upgrades,…

Any game doing real time 3d rendering will need to lean very heavily on the GPU. GPUs are optimized for massively parallel vector and matrix operations, which is how you take the vertices of a 3D model and appropriately transform them and find the 2D projection for your screen (not even getting into all the other…

Is linux just completely devoid of productivity and business products? I use windows on my desktop because I don’t care all that much if something goes wrong with my games, but if I ran a business and had mission critical needs, it’d be a linux distro, if at all possible. Is the learning curve too high? Lack of…

It’s really not possible to say much more about this without knowing specifics of what you were trying to do.

It’s interface is...basically windows 7. Are you sure you weren’t using 8? The first time I ever saw 8 I was helping someone and I was completely thrown. Meanwhile, I updated from 7 to 10 and...shrug. People didn’t like 8 so 10 is like 7 again (at least in desktop mode or whatever). Unless the last actual version you…

The combat difficulty in this game is a bit Dark Souls-ish in that you can’t completely sleepwalk through even trash mobs. But, unlike DS Souls, once you get the hang of it that’s it, you’ll breeze through the rest. One problem you may be having is I don’t think of the combat as slow and intentional. One of the…

I normally don’t like open world games because they’re so thin, but W3 is comical in how stuffed it is, and it still has a strong narrative with lots of mini-narratives within. I think in that respect it actually benefits from having a pre-existing character instead of being like Skyrim or Fallout and making your own…

That’s interesting because I think most people don’t like the first game. I love Baldur’s Gate-like games, and was very disappointed by the first game. Love W2 and W3 though, which are completely different from the first. I have 150 hours in W3, and just got the Blood and Wine expansion.

For a second I thought it was going to be Dark Souls themed based on the title.

I had whole play sessions where I had a plan for where I was going to go and what I was going to do, and then I’d just play gwent.

And what would you expect to happen if that biker ignored the friendly warning and started dashing forward? Getting that close to the motorcade on a bike is pretty damned brazen. I don’t think he could have been oblivious, I think he was in a hurry and he figured if he slipped by the cops they wouldn’t chase him. I…

What’s extra fascinating to me is how it is an uninteresting amount of time for a game to slip. A few weeks? If you were going to invent a story, why something so marginally interesting? Is this just latent rage over reporting on gamergate stuff? Even if you had just been making stuff up for fun, what is it they were…

You can do 60 already in custom games, they’ve just made the default 20. I would guess it’s to keep the load on the servers light, especially at first.

You own the computer, but there’s not a hell of a lot you can do with it without an OS. You’ve got other options, but they come with their own problems.

It’s funny how randomly these things go. My friend’s computer was crippled by Windows 8, and they WANTED to upgrade but never, ever, received the notice. About a month ago I manually went to the webpage and downloaded it for them and the upgrade fixed a large number of problems.

It’s...not normal to have a video of your dog being put down, right?

And they can. You can still get and install the mod, just not from Steam. Let’s not pretend like the discussion surrounding the mod was pure hearted and innocent. Paradox obviously doesn’t want that available through a channel it has control over.

This is a neat idea, but it really needed some insight into “Other.” A quarter or more of people are engaging in it during the non-working, non-sleeping hours. Reading, writing, knitting, exercising, skydiving, sex, painting, lolcats, etc...

I saw this on Steam and was considering getting it yesterday. I like puzzle/adventure games but feel like it’s been a long time since I played one that didn’t disappoint me, and it’d be good to relax (especially after all the DS3). And lo and behold, a post on it?! I shall take it as a sign and get it.
