I on the other hand, am past the point where troubleshooting is a reasonable solution to my PC’s problems, and still haven’t been able to get a 3080. Which is particularly irksome since BB made multiple drops in the early AMs just before I woke up this morning, and they only drop once every couple weeks.

I am shocked, shocked I tell you. Corporate being (supposedly) blameless, and somehow this being the fault of those darned uppity employees with their morals and ethics? Why, who would’ve ever expected such a thing. Not to worry though, corporate will have everything back doubleplusgood soon enough.

Honestly, I pretty much gave up on this quite a while ago. While for the first few years I argued that even for a major company AAA development takes time, their attitude has indicated a complete lack of sincerity.

I find it more weird that last I heard they’re still preparing the actual Olympics. And vaccination won’t be mandatory. I remember reading the explanation of their preparations and just being disturbed by how badly designed the preparations were. Plus apparently something like eighty percent of the host country…

Alright, you’ve convinced me, we need more original IPs.

I mean, quite apart from that, Discord is not a forum. Just flat out. It’s not just community stuff that suffers here, or bug finding, but it basically kills feedback dead. This is a terrible decision, and I say that as someone who currently has Discord open (admittedly for trying to snag a 3080, but still).

Frankly, this isn’t entirely on nVidia, though I doubt this’ll be useful at all. A large part of this is due to retailers not giving a fuck. Amazon for example will sell these to bots, who turns around and sell them (quite possibly on their own site) at immensely marked up prices. You want to stop this, then retailers…

This is disgusting. They’re perfectly happy welcoming scalpers defrauding people who’d prefer to buy their goods legitimately, but if it involves a positive depiction of the human body? Apparently not allowed by them.

Subnautica: Below Zero just finally hit launch status, and I’ve been waiting to play it till now. So I’ll be doing that.

Honestly, a lot of old JRPGs could use a remake. Star Ocean 2, Suikoden (basically all of them), Xenogears, Legend of Legaia, Super Mario RPG, etc. I also wouldn’t mind a remake of the old Descent games. Hexen/Heretic? Honestly a lot of stuff from the late 90s could reasonably be remade.

You are far too generous. Some things in BL3 directly contradict prior information. Long story short, BL3's story is basically the equivalent of bad fanfiction. If I hadn’t played D3 I’d probably call it the worst game writing I’ve ever seen. To be fair, it still might be even worse. Which uh, says a lot.

I mean, honestly given they’ve been deliberately obscuring their charity stuff for years, was anyone really surprised? It’s been clear for some time this was no longer about their original goal. Which given from recollection the people who founded this quit years ago...

The previous Nerf Now is honestly funnier. “If I wanted a bad fanfic I’d write it myself.”, really does sound like a good summary of why to avoid video game movies.

Funnily, we’re in basically entire agreement on the premise, till you noted you dislike the bigger ones. After a certain size they actually disturb me less honestly. I am on the other hand, terribly paranoid about the small or medium ones.

Honestly, I’ve broken this back out a couple times, and I admit I wouldn’t mind playing it again. That said, I’ve never played the PSP version, and I’ve admittedly been curious about it for years.

Yeah, that’s fair. I love Supergiant’s stuff, but Hades was still extraordinary even by their standards. I’m not even fond of roguelikes and it was still easily my favorite game of last year.

I actually occasionally get in a mood and chip away at it, on the other hand I haven’t really considered newer games this last year or so that will add to it. Probably back up to around 60 games if we’re being honest. Which is admittedly pretty absurd, but still not as large as it could be.

I’m not necessarily opposed, but I actually rather like Turbine, so I doubt they’d have done a better job anyways. To be fair it could’ve been good anyways though, in a different way.

Honestly, this feels almost more psychological than gaming based. People are irrational. That’s just reality. Our own self important certainty about our logic is inane nonsense. We’ve succeeded by desperately hanging on and stumbling through life, not through being some sort of incredible predictor of the right course…

I’ll say this for RAGE, I really enjoyed some of the environmental designs for the time. The toolboxes were a particularly nice touch.
