While I agree with you, I suspect most of the youtubers who make significant money, if not all, are operating as a business, in which case they can put founding and managing what is essentially a small entertainment production company. A prospective employer may not be impressed by it, but they’re getting paid and…

A lot of people in these comments, myself included, are of comparable age and standard-issue 30-something gaming backgrounds.

1440p and up is so demanding. I play 1080p still and my i5-2500 was still fine when paired with a good video card. I just upgraded to an i5-7600 and the game performance increase is small. Probably in a year I’ll upgrade my video card and then finally go for 1440p.

You mentioned Police Quest and Sam and Max so you get my stamp of approval.

I think it’d be a good educational exercise for you, Thorin, or maybe some intrepid user, to put together a little demo using Wireshark, a VPN, and http and https websites to show what network traffic coming into and out of your PC actually looks like, what someone monitoring it would see, and the effect of TLS or a…

I think any VPN service worth a recommendation has plugged DNS leaks as part of their out-of-the-box configuration. If not, the extra efforts you allude to only take a second and are easy.

I think that’s a bad precedent to set. The entire point of asking for money up front was to reduce his risk of making less money overall while reducing the opportunity of making a boatload of money. He saw the likelihood of the risk outweighing the likelihood of the opportunity. There was a very real chance that would…

He definitely screwed that up, but I’d be curious to see book sales before and after the games became popular, especially internationally.

Hah, I was 16 and had the opposite situation!

Surely Patricia, resident Kotaku videogame sexpert, has done an article on this?

This probably isn’t the type of game where your gameplay experience is negatively impacted by being under 60 fps. Visually if you were to switch back and forth you’d see the difference but just playing at 30 fps, (assuming you’re not dipping under!) probably won’t hurt your experience. However having an lcd monitor…

Ryzen goes for more cores at slower speed, so the fact that its gaming benchmarks aren’t great seems to indicate that most games aren’t really optimized for more cores, wouldn’t it?

There’s a very real chance you’ll be just fine. I did a similar thing to you last year and Witcher 3 ran good at high settings with a new video card and an old i5-2500, not OC’d. If you had a top of the line video card or two, then the cpu would matter more.

Yah, but they’re making heavy use of motion capture actors and have a considerably smaller set of cutscenes, dialogue, and characters to work with.

I think that’s exactly the opposite of HZD. The eyes are great, it’s expressions and lip syncing. I think HZD has some of the best eyes I’ve seen.

I know it is now, but it’s only just recently come to the forefront of my attention and now it shows up everywhere as if the word “concept” doesn’t exist at all, as if it’d been “conceit” all the while long, and now I feel deceived.

I’ve heard people say conceit in this way all my life.

Innnnnteresting, free and open source? Thanks for the heads up!

Hey man, I enjoyed the game,and obviously he did too given the 50 hours, but some of the issues the game has are so elementary it’s hard to argue.
