That assumes you have your original phone, that you haven’t purchased a new phone because your old phone was stolen/lost/crushed/dropped in a toilet.

I’m so glad I’m not the only one who thought this. Wide brim hat? Postmodern gay witch outfit? PIERCING GAZE? This had to be a conscious development decision.

Oh no did the bad words hurt you?

They don’t really release exclusives because people like it. They do it to sell consoles. 

Paragraph long comment created out of an inexplicable desire to respond with an unbidden opinion that will sit at the bottom of the comments, unread and un-recommended.

I honestly think these simple measures are pretty close to perfect. I don’t think it’s particularly evil to buy just one of a thing to resell it later. While it’s a little sketchier to be doing it for an item that’s hard to find at launch, plenty of collectors buy just one of a thing and wait until it becomes…

I wonder if this has any connection to the Dr. Disrespect scandal from 2019. Part of it might be putting ‘approved by us’ and ‘unofficial’ labels on streamers to avoid getting flak, and put legal distance, from bad behavior acted out by more off color streamers.

Extraction marks the THIRD L4D-like game to be mentioned this week, and I’m not mad. Excited to see all of the takes on it.

Also happy to see more games (Rider Republic) taking on the unlimited party paradise fantasy theme, much like Forza Horizon has been doing. It’s really fun, dumb, good escapism to chill for a…

The design intent makes sense, level discrepancy is used to control how the world is doled out, helping guide the player down a linear story in an open world without actually physically gating it. It also makes it feel like the numbers going up actually do something.

Making the numbers explicit makes sense because the…

Bless and damn you for this link, I was was up until 5am reading up on these fantastic scandals.

Fuck yeah you made it! This is by far the scariest part, and while there are a couple more spooky sections the rest of a game should be a breeze if you made it through this. 

I so deeply relate to all of this. I really like horror games but I often can’t get far in them because of anxiety. RE8 won’t be the first RE game I’ve tried, but it’ll be the first that I finish, I’m halfway through the factory now.

This statement contains no praise, it’s a fact. Pirates (+ modders, fan devs) are often the only people archiving old games.

You have to remember this demo is layering on top of an existing engine. If in the near future the AI is built into the game engine you can just create simple collision meshes in the right shape (the climbable tree limbs) and label them so the AI knows what it is (Northern Red Oak) instead of guessing based off of the…

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.
