I’ve been in the architecture field for almost a decade and up to this point had only worked with PCs, as most of the modeling and rendering programs were developed for Windows and are slow to support Mac, if at all. Autodesk, probably the largest and most prominent software company in the field, barely supports Mac,…

The first two games were published by Warner Bros, while this sounds like the additional funding from Epic was crucial to being able to self-publish for the first time, a challenging and expensive thing that most developers can’t do. Large publishers often exert influence over projects (such as EA’s push for all their…

As Straw Hat said, the platform is PC regardless. The launcher itself (what you’re complaining about) barely matters on the user / consumer side, especially for a single player game like this (and especially if you gather your games under one launcher anyway, like lots of people do by adding non-Steam games to your…

Just like they (wildly unsuccessfully) tried to do last time. Also, what's the issue with trying to diversify the market from Chrome's current domination?

I think I somehow managed to get through Persona 5 when it first came out in about three months, but that was a feat of dedication - I didn’t play many other games, played for at least an hour or two a day, and felt pretty burned out on it by the last (in my opinion, unnecessary) act. I had my reasons (was going to be…

This is just...a breathtakingly stupid take. Not only is Edge an internet browser, a product category in which no major browser has successfully charged money since the 90s, it’s taking over for Internet Explorer, which has spent the past ~25 years being completely free. Plus it’s installed by default on the majority…

BABY BABY BABY BABY BABY BABY

I switched to Edge a few weeks ago after getting tired of Chrome sucking up huge amounts of memory and due to Google’s privacy concerns. It’s been a much better experience so far, even quickly imported my extensions and bookmarks so the transition was quick and painless.

The extra confusing thing is that many design firms (architecture in particular) have really gravitated towards using Oculus and Vive headsets. The previous firm I worked with was split between the two companies (their products at the time were very similarly balanced in terms of strengths and weaknesses), but…

Ugh, you mean the Batman that absolutely fails to accept help and show vulnerability, even with his closest family and allies? The one with the charisma and emotional depth of a brick? The Arkham games are good comicbook games, but I think their portrayal of Batman himself is my least favorite, probably because I love…

Sure, I get that. And I completely understand the time constraints now, I feel those too. Unfortunately it seems like most JRPGs of the PS1 / PS2 era were designed around being a teen with infinite time, as trying to return to them now highlights how unnecessarily grindy and tedious they could be made to pad out the…

Suddenly I understand why their design for Batman, a man who’s supposed to be incredibly nimble and acrobatic as well as strong, is built like the god of linebackers, which I always found ridiculous.

Well done on finishing it at least. I definitely seem to remember having similar issues back then, and having to dig through GameFAQs to figure out what to do next. A lot of RPGs at the time seemed specifically designed to force you to need a strategy guide to get the best experience, and that’s especially the case…

Tales of Symphonia was another favorite around that time too, nothing wrong with that - similar to Golden Sun, it was a great intro to JRPGs. I really don’t think you’re alone with not getting into the DS sequel...I bounced off it really hard as well without making it past the intro hours, and I think the general…

The earliest game I remember being truly disappointed by as a child was Batman Forever on the SNES. For context, my parents didn’t have a lot of money so we often got bargain bin games, many of which I played repeatedly and loved through sheer exposure (I beat Tazmania and Road Runner’s Death Valley Rally, both of…

I have tried so many times over the past two decades to figure out PN03, and even now I just straight up don’t get it. It’s all of the things I love, wrapped together in a bland and boring package. You’re a sleek and futuristic dancer/ninja/cybernetic lady who paradoxically moves like absolute shit, going through…

That looks cool.

SAME. It reminded of one of the first songs I downloaded from Limewire in middle school, Megaman Trance Remix (I doubt that’s its real name), which somehow came up on the first few Youtube results. Listening for the first time in probably 15 years, I can understand why my younger self was mystified by this (having…

Extra PSA - Apparently Remnant: From the Ashes is also currently free, so be sure to snag both!

Which would be mostly fine if this was just a “drink the koolaid” situation that only affected those sorely lacking in empathy, logic, and reason, but unfortunately this koolaid is quite contagious.
