FIFA, NHL, Madden, and PGA Tour all use Frostbite. FIFA’s used it since FIFA 17; IIRC it was to consolidate engineering resources by developing as many games as possible on the same platform.

This sucks ass for the modding community. Pre-Frostbite versions of FIFA have a mature set of modding tools and a still-active community doing updates.

Mischaracterized; the change also applies to games that haven’t been published yet, as long as they’re using currently shipping versions of the Unity editor. “The Runtime Fee policy will only apply beginning with the next LTS version of Unity shipping in 2024 and beyond. Your games that are currently shipped and the…

The avatar’s sameness across articles and games distracts from reviews, which is maybe the worst thing they could do. Especially in RPGs with character creators, seeing someone else’s self-insert character (and only one person’s self-insert) in every screenshot of every game calls more attention to the avatar than the…

The funniest part is LAPD didn’t even arrest him, CHP did. And Irwindale cops had pulled him over a year before (for a code violation, leading to a driving-without-license charge, because of course he was) — the guy wasn’t hard to catch by any metric, LAPD just didn’t wanna. So you’re very likely right.

In the BG3 threads where his character looks almost identical, someone mentioned he looks like Andrew Tate. I can’t unsee it now, and he uses the same self-insert in every review screenshot of every game.

> I’d argue that the slow (relatively) sales were due to the Element being ahead of its time and not because it was a bad car.

Firebolt annoys some doorways and chests and Ray of Frost tickles them, but most doors and many chests fucking hate Eldritch Blast

There’s value in criticism that adds something to the conversation, but yeah, a lot of it points at something obvious, or at least not that deep, and just describes it without any insight. It’s quota-filling work.

oldheads thinking of Mario Kart with motorcycles and a track editor and then blurting out “oh so a Mach Rider sequel”

Well it’s no secret that the “cozy game” genre such as this, Animal Crossing, Stardew Valley, dating sims, etc. often have a larger share of woman/girl players than other genres

This can happen even if you just go to camp without taking a long rest. While in a cave, and even after being told by defenders in the cave to get my party prepared for combat, I went to camp to grab barrels from the travel chest and when I left camp without resting, the defenders were overrun and we were dumped into…

if you don’t mind it looking like a PS2 game, BG3 can get ~25fps on a 4-core Intel N100 potato

every one of these characters is in a high intensity situation where all their senses are heightened. Which is a pretty common occurrence in real life

Like everything else, just make it as optional as Easy difficulty. Or gate it behind a New Game+ to force everyone through the as-designed way to do it. I’m not saying to put a worm in everyone’s eyeballs that makes you do things. I’m not a monster.

A good DM doesn’t operate like this. A good DM wants the players to experience the most interesting possibilities, especially if they’re trying something as weird as throwing feces at a goblin. It should be a very simple check to pass, with the possibility of failure the far more unlikely and potentially interesting…

All I want is a Fit e:HEV. I don’t want a nicer car, I don’t need a longer range than my ICE Fit, I don’t even want a good car by any objective measure. I just want a four-door hatch with a tall back that I can haul my dogs around in for all of 50,000 fucking miles over 10 or more years, just like I have with the ICE…

It’s mostly how pointless it is for Nokia to do it. Same with the VGA camera. Their 2780 Flip dumbphone came out last year, uses USB-C, has a 5MP camera and a second idle display, and costs maybe $30 more than this.

the Siskos were more into Creole food (it’s literally “Sisko’s Creole Kitchen”) and if you think Cajuns in Starfleet wouldn’t see a deadly poisonous plant and immediately figure out how to make jambalaya (or boudin!) with it, you’re outcha damn mind brah
