The driving minimap is made for riding at 30km/h on Roach. It works fine if you go at that speed. Try it. They just put that system into Cyberpunk straight up. It doesn’t feel playtested or optimized at all.

Yes, that’s certainly possible. However, and this is spelled out in the report itself, the species of shroom found in his blood was the same as the shroom he injected. Seems very likely that improper sterilization and the injection both explain the bacteria and fungi found in him. 

Too little too late. Read more

Honestly, I dig it, too. A LoFi aesthetic would’ve totally been appropriate for this game. When I snag the GOTY w/ Expansion Pass version in the 2021 Steam Winter sale, I might try to do some tweaking if we can get there.

If there is one singular lesson from Nintendo that should be learned, studied and goddamned… Read more

I was coming into the comments to say this. Reminded me so much of this game. I was so obsessed with it back in the day. One of the earliest games I can remember purchasing. 

Awesome PS1 vibe. Somebody should take a big indie whack at that aesthetic.

That game was so damn good. I remember hanging out on the balcony, just to listen to the music. 

My thought exactly (having a little experience in this area). It merely learned that a large number of Twitter users cropped out darker faces in favor of lighter ones, and went with it. Now, I don’t know how many people at Twitter are involved with this feature, but it seems odd that no one thought about this so they… Read more

That’s a lot of bulk for just half of an extra screen.  At least with the V60, the second screen is detachable.  I could easily see walking around with the phone in “normal” mode and then pulling the second screen out of a laptop bag when you need it.

This would be more akin to a second screen for your laptop. Yes... some people carry around a single purpose second screen for their laptop. They are a tiny subset of the people that could possibly find a second screen useful because the weight/bulk of a second screen is nearly never worth it in a mobile device. Its… Read more

I was with you until you mentioned vampires. Then I was 100% with you.

Well sure, but your second monitor doesn’t overlap half of your first monitor.  

Or, if you were born and raised in the Bible Belt like me, a crucifix befitting android Jesus. Read more

On a very, very tangential note, you have give me the opportunity to wax nostalgic for this song:

Owning a current gen console and buying physical discs a much more bandwidth intensive situation today than some people may realize. The current gen blu-ray discs that each current gen console uses have a maximum capacity of 50GB. Most physical discs today don’t include the entire game. There are multiple texture and… Read more

And that’s just the US. Plenty of other decently large markets have even worse infrastructure. Read more

Still though, let's vote for Biden and end this nightmare. 

In the US and other backwards hellholes it will continue to make some sense to release consoles in two models - for people who have decent internet access and those who don’t. Read more

This guy gets it. Until internet is free and available to everyone, even in boonie-ass towns far away from the city, there will always be a physical disk drive.
