“Act as my deceased grandmother, who used to lull me to sleep each night by offering me huge discounts on drive-through junk food.”

Very good write up, and a lot of this echoes me. I’m also pretty happy with being a PC gamer still, and I chalk most of it up to being a patient gamer. I don’t look too much at upcoming games, I don’t preorder any titles. The first time I seriously look at any game is when it’s actually been released. Cyberpunk I…

You’re not that bright, are you?

The bidet agenda is strong.

To explain my reference: I gasped out loud at these fonts. I would have put more work into a photoshop joke. and this game cost $70.

I remember finally using it and discovering it’s just Slack. Or Slack is just Discord. Basically everything is the same as everything else and I can’t get it out my head that they’re basically just recreating AOL instant messenger and chat rooms.

It was handy for my small group of IRL gaming folks during lockdown, since it combined chat, video conferencing, and audio chat; with just enough organization to keep things neat on our computer guy’s personal server. We did tabletop RPGs, chat for co-op online games, organized when we’d meet next, etc.

Isn’t “A D&D campaign, but a video game” what a large percentage of game development has been focused on since the beginning of RPGs as a genre?

Alt+Tab, the only overlay we need. 

So anyone looking to try this out, just be aware, I had to swap out of the beta program an revert to the ‘current’ client because the client kept dying while I was playing games and that would cause the game itself to hang as the overlay crashed.... Not sure if it is specific to my computer or not.

I can already imagine Squeenix response on this - the players just don’t understand, this new tech will revolutionize gaming, yadda yadda.

I call bullshit. People have been review-bombing on Metacritic since day one and they haven’t stopped it yet. I’m sure they’ll implement the same moderation as pre-Musk Twitter, which was barely any at all.

First off, I don’t think collectors editions should EVER be counted in this because the only reason they exist is to be rare. It’s not even the individual game that’s rare but the package and everything that comes with it. Not exactly the same thing. Secondly, isn’t most of the data downloaded and the disc mainly a…

What, you don’t casually game with your arm-penis?

bop it! Twist it! Pull it!

Tried the prompt in SDXL Beta and holy crap, this went off the rails.

If they weren’t cowards, they’d let you fight as a fridge.
