Partially kidding! Its very old and bad, just immediately sprang to mind. I actually had this one back in the day because I am old, alas!

The polygraph works perfectly. In that, its a machine that monitors a subject’s heart rate, breathing rate, etc and produces a chart of those values over time. And that’s what it does; most of them are quite accurate and if your heart rate was 65 bpm at 10 minutes into the test it’ll accurately show 65 bpm at 10…

There’s two reasons to pick up an item:

Because NFTs dont actually give you that capability. You can resell the the NFT on any market, sure, but only if the original game end to end supports the transport. Theres just not really any functional gain over a standard database transaction. All NFTs are doing is putting some of the bits used to represent…

Those are tutorials for -meta- activities, not gameplay in the way I meant.

Building more complex mechanics by introducing the player to them in layers, or having simple lead to complex, is a tutorial.

I tried playing for a bit but couldn’t stick with it. There’s no characterization or stakes story-wise, it’s easily one of the worst stories I’ve seen this year. The action is... I guess it’s okay if you want a super easy power fantasy, but it’s so, so easy I felt like I just had god mode on and that gets boring real…

NFT’s to me are way worse for gaming than paid cosmetics.

Characters have standard weapon, armor, ring, trinket kinda slots for equipment. Weapons change the visual appearance of the character’s weapon; the rest do not change appearances. There’s unlockable skins that give full character makeovers.

I think you touched on the core problem - Outsiders saves the most interesting parts of developing your character for an endgame that is itself underdeveloped. By the time you get to sufficient freedom to have a coherent build between gear and skill points, all the interesting content to use it on is behind you.

Fiction and “No depiction of actual persons or events is intended” is not a magic spell that protects you if you choose to depict actual people. It can, and has been, struck down in court in the past in cases far less obvious than this one. There’s no chance in the slightest that particular statement would protect…

So way back in the day when I at the end of my teens, I played a lot of DOTA on Warcraft III where there was no matchmaking other than joining lobbies. I was pretty good at DOTA and I could play it to relax because generally speaking, I was going to carry the game in most lobbies I joined.

The more accurate statement would be “if your postmortem keeps identifying the same problem for the same reason, maybe you’re not doing postmortem right.” Or whatever word you want to use instead of postmortem.

Unfortunately even sitting ‘idle’ these systems spool enough components up and down often enough to kill any notion of a constant thermal equilibrium. Major heat producers like the GPU don’t run at a steady state, they have significant highs and lows of activity. Heck, modern systems don’t even run all their fans all…

Im just legit confused why they’d go to all the trouble (in the video) of doing the tear down and eval, and not put a probe or two in to find out. Its not like they’re crazy expensive or anything. Heck you could even just check the surface temperature of the sink and you’d have more useful data than exhaust alone.

The best analogy I’ve seen is the one of the WWII French resistance, which was comprised of every group who wasn’t willing to work with the Nazis. That’s practically the only thing they had in common, so their ability to function cohesively was next to none.

That could be done, sure. But it definitely is not the tone he used to title or write the article. The subtitle ( Valve has confirmed the portable device won’t get a power boost when docked and plugged into a external monitor) is the fact point that is interesting to know/new info. The actual title is extremely…

Didn’t you just write https://kotaku.com/i-want-this-portable-playstation-2-1847440328 just this Friday? That also wouldn’t play 4k games on your TV, oh no!

I would guess it was via whatever means E3 itself licensed the music protects their official partners as well; for example, perhaps they acquired a streaming license for “themselves and official co-streaming partners” or some language thereof.

At the end of the day, the ‘secret’ is liking the type of game Hollow Knight is. Now, sometimes it is possible to play a game ‘wrong’ - but it’s way more rare than people think and usually happens in poorly made games with bad signposting, where it isn’t clear what you can / can’t do and a player ends up smashing…
