We’ve certainly seen this before with other games. Denuvo is a pig and gobbles up CPU. Even if you have plenty of cores, the constant DRM checks act as chokepoints for everything else going on in the game - so even if you’ve splashed out for a Core i9 10900K, it’s just sitting there twiddling all the rest of its thumbs…

Minor quibble: Ratchet & Clank isn’t Naughty Dog, it’s Insomniac. Naughty Dog was Jak and Daxter. The two studios are very chummy and even shared some technology, but Naughty Dog is too SRS now to do anything as frivolous and fun as Rift Apart.

Failgame removes one of the few good things about Failgame.

At an intermediate stage it looks like the old 1997 Westwood Blade Runner RPG. I kind of like it.

My biggest tip which I don’t see here is DASH. Maybe it’s too obvious?  But I see people not dashing, and I’m dashing all the time. Things can’t hit you well when you’re dashing, and you can usually get boons that will create zones of death at the start and/or end of your dash. Plus your dash attack (hit dash then…

I swear by those tiny B&W lasers from Brother and Samsung.  They just WORK, unlike inkjets.  And you can get them ridiculously cheap if you don’t need a scanner - but if you do, that’s a reasonable one.

Well, I think that’s good.  ‘Origin’ was Ultima, and EA never deserved Ultima.

I used to think it was just their terrible marketing department, but now I think this is on purpose (it’s so bad it has to be).

Bah, so I guess the rumors that they were remasters wasn’t true. That’s too bad. Mario 64 was amazing when it came out, but replaying it recently (when the unofficial pc port came out) reminded me just how bad it was by today’s standards.

Don’t count on it for sure as long as the FCC is run by people who think it’s just fine for the US to have ridiculously shitty and expensive internet access (compared to other highly industrialized countries) because they’re industry bitches like Ajit Pai. Even if you’ve got great internet access that is definitely…

As a reminder, besides his sexual misconduct, Hascoët was also the shitheel who thought an AC: Odyssey with just Kassandra would be a failure (so they shoe-horned in the much more boring beefcake brother) and kept us from playing Aya for much of AC: Origins. Because again, feh, women, what are they good for? Le…

This game is fucking awesome, easily the best thing Sucker Punch has ever done. Horizon Zero Dawn with samurai. And yeah, it’s gorgeous too. 60 hours in and I’m still going ‘oooooo’ as the sun rises over a field of spider lillies... and I challenge 5 mongol barbarians to a showdown, then cut them down (beautifully)…

And those people usually also seem to be alt-right white power twats so I lumped them in with the ‘master race’ people, but I could be compressing too much.

The Nintendo fanboys need to stop living in the fucking 90s!

As a group, compared to Nintendo fans, they are. It’s all very relative. Okay, PC people have that master race thing going which is sometimes too uncomfortably on the white nose.

The first game isn’t all that great either. I mean, it was great for the GBC at the time, but if you compare it to something like Risky’s Revenge it just pales.

Relax, the rules of logic allow you (and Latinos) to be more casually misogynist AND our politicians to be rapists. There’s plenty to go around.

This sort of stuff happens everywhere, especially in this industry, but I also wonder how much the French (Canadian) culture contributed to misogyny just being assumed to be the natural way of things. Toronto’s not Quebec, but the leadership was transplanted from Montreal.

If he was hospitalized this soon, he probably had it before attending the rally (as you said). I sure hope he spread it around.

The Wii U was a gigantic failure, but at least its reason for existence was to bring us Mario Kart 8, not to make sure slavery continued to be the foundation of an evil society.
