This. I think the biggest roadblock currently facing the advance of photorealism is developer time constraints. While there is still a bit of wriggle room when it comes to the advancement of traditional real time rendering techniques (raytracing being an example of development here), currently many games could look…

It’s also another reminder that modders, pirates, and fan developers are often the only ones doing the work to keep old games around in an easily playable form.

I also love how awkwardly it’s shared in the video. One of the hosts mentions Waluigi and the video just cuts to a still of the above for 3 poignant seconds.

Much like how you ignored my other comment that said the same thing. I’m not talking about a fix here, or the semantics of use/rely, I’m talking about how your personal experience with a game mechanic is a bad reason to insult someone.

While loot boxes that directly effect gameplay are really terrible, I think a better ethical splitting point might be availability. Both with frequency of getting loot boxes through gameplay alone, and through drop rates of items. Is spending money on loot boxes a $20 shortcut to an epic skin, or are the loot boxes…

Ugh, I hate saying this, but maybe you’re just not very smart. Ari not needing to rely on a red screen is probably an indicator that they are actually a pretty good gamer, and “impending” isn’t fucking “imminent.” You view it as a ‘find some cover indicator’, to avoid your impending death. Go be condescending…

Don’t write paragraphs about a field you don’t understand. 

Strong disagree, I’d hate to see these go. I get that they could be better at not obscuring your vision, but in a tense fight I really don’t have the mental acuity to be monitoring a healthbar. My tiny brain has only one point of focus and that’s usually aimed at the guns/swords/tentacles that are aimed at me. I need…

Other treadmills have at least a modicum of safety features, like a guard, tilt sensor, or stoppage sensor that would tell the machine to stop eating a child. 

I have plenty of games I’ve bought but haven’t played. It’s usually because it’s a game I’ve wanted and has gone on sale, but I’m busy with another game or not in the mood for that game. Sometimes I’m 2 hours into a 100 hour RPG, or sometimes I don’t have the energy right now for a story centric walking simulator or…

As a civilian? Sure. As someone whos trained to use these weapons, who’s job it is to handle these weapons daily and know, on instinct at the very least, the difference between them? Nope. Factor in that they should be on opposite sides of the officers body, clearly marked, and that this officer has been using them…

My main problem is that there are so few effective or satisfying tactics to use against them, which is frustrating considering that so many other games have provided solutions that would give the player a modicum of control.

Have them track you a little slower, so if you don’t stand still you can avoid the shot. Have…

People can absolutely tell when something is bad CG. Movies like the thing remake and the updates to the star wars saga are examples of obvious CG.

My guess is that they wanted something to highlight and draw eyes to the shoes, so a trail of light colored fabric is not a bad idea. The photographer/creative director/whoever then thought ‘oh this is a Japanese shoot, it should be a Japanese thing instead of just some plain fabric, hey these obi are pretty’ and…

I want to thank this article, which got me thinking about other nostalgia drenched futuristic racing games with cool logos, such as my adolescent haunt Rollcage 2, which I’ve now learned has a spiritual successor from 3 years ago via kickstarter, which is on sale right now for 82% off. Again, deep thanks, and cheers…

While I agree that Twitter isn’t nothing, it certainly isn’t as representative as many news sites treat it. 30m active users is a sliver on the pie chart of the US population, less than 10%, compared to Facebook holding nearly 260m active users (78%).

I get that the network has a strong news angle. Big names like to…

I remember the first time I saw the first of these games I wanted to try it out because I was certain they were parody. I laughed so hard at the preview on steam. The knowledge that it isn’t has made my life significantly worse.

It’s literally right here, sister site, suggested articles. Meyers over here even has a history of shitty actions. Should the entire Miami Heat team be disqualified from future games? Are they responsible for their teammate’s bad…

I don’t have a source to cite, but I remember reading elsewhere that all finalists got some amount of money, and that this team, even if they lost the next round, would have made min $600 (per person iirc).
