We ain't out of the woods yet.

In all honesty, showing zero gameplay should start hitting some alarm bells here. They are what? Less than 90 days from release in November? Has there ever been an actual official gameplay clip? Even one?

You are absolutely right there. GTA 6 online is the real goal here. It was also lightning in a bottle they are unlikely to capture again in an artificial way. They are banking on an entirely new and bigger audience to play GTA 6 online. Their cash cows in GTA 5 Online will probably keep on doing...

Try it again and play it understanding that you hyper aggressively attack until the enemy deflects you. Then you deflect them. You do not really try and dodge out of stuff most of the time. Once you start doing that the way to play really opens up and it gets more and more awesome. Everything...

I replayed Sekiro over vacation so I got the itch for deflection gameplay.

Characters like DAX from GTA Online, the two carjackers (forget the names) and some others. There is a video linked somewhere in this thread about it. Looking at all of the GTA5 Online stuff added over the years when compared to previous titles and even the base game. A supposed Drug Kingpin...

The game itself wont be bad. That is not the argument I see anyone here making. The gameplay will be good, the setting will be good. The bad parts will be reflected in today's Rockstar staff and their inability to write interesting characters. There will not be a totally unhinged Trevor type...

Then I suggest you prepare to be disappointed my good man. I will rate this game by how many diversity characters and woke bullshit ends up in it. Each such interaction drops it down a peg.

I mean, IDK what y'all are expecting. The gameplay here is going to be near identical to GTA5. The only thing that makes the game here is the new location, vibes, characters, interactions, and so on. The core gameplay of stealing cars, shooting stuff, driving fast, and all that I don't expect...

Playing Lies of P now. This is a pretty good game.

Weird. I bought directly from their site IDK, last year or something? I got two of these guys: https://shop.8bitdo.com/products/8bitdo-ultimate-2 I guess get it off Amazon?

I've just been playing on steamdeck after giving up with the Linux box. Since I only really play old games Steamdeck and its desktop features might be all I need.

I am currently a Staff Software Engineer, working in Data Platform Engineering. No shortage of opportunities for my discipline, if you will. Or do you only mean the Professional Engineer certified type roles?

MMOs need time and gold sinks more than other games. Mounts serve as a decent chase item that gives you a great convenience once you achieve it. If you don't have them you'd still need some other sink.

It isn't an issue for most games. Sekiro and a few others have some very specific weirdness that I could not get to work on any of the distros I have used.

Wait SteamOS is coming out for general use? As an old man I don't really want to deal with custom PCs much anymore. I don't mind tinkering with Linux and I enjoy it a lot most of the time. HOWEVER, when I want to play video games for an hour or two dicking around with Linux to get it working...

The first steam controller was such an abomination that threw it in my closet and forgot it ever existed. I went back to a 360 controller for years. I moved on to 8bitdo because I switched to a Linux machine and I wanted just one controller to use across my devices. Xbox controller is hard...

Get an 8bitdo Ultimate.

I'd say I do like 25% manual code writing at this point. But only because I am deliberately trying to reduce token expenditure. Also I am learning to use new stuff and I want to be very familiar with how it actually functions rather than just tossing it to AI and not understanding it.

I was thinking about how you'd do this. The actual ideal controller for doing this in an honest way would be to use Switch Joycons with motion detection too for maximum lol. Or go all in here:

I've really been putting my Steamdeck and dock to work lately. It is just so quick to switch my monitor over to and get cracking. It runs the old games I play most of the time really well so I have no reason to turn on my old PC unless I want to play Palworld or something. Next imma get this...

This is a bigger problem and I'd argue has a lot more to do with the maturity of the software industry, if you will. In the 1990s and 2000s a small studio could engineer a lean game engine, such as the Infinity Engine used in Baldur's Gate 1, 2, Icewind Dale, and whatever and build their games...

How good do you rate this one? I remember starting it and I got annoyed by its stat window stuff on almost every page and put it down.

This game is an outlier in terms of the AAA studios. Yes it is and will print money. But at the same time even woke gay AAA studios can't afford a $1B+ Dev and marketing cost on a decade timeline like this monstrosity has. Guaranteed it wont have totally unhinged characters like Trevor, Lamar...

I mean, I am not expecting anything beyond a good aesthetic. We all know what GTA gameplay is like. If the trailer illuminates whatever gimmicks they are introducing this time around that will be good though.

Yeah, it was awesome. I crashed like a million times figuring it out back then. It was very novel.

The N64 Podracer game that required you to use two N64 controllers at the same time was always really creative. Not necessary with dual joystick controllers but for it's time it was pretty crazy.

My daughter turned 5 recently. Since she turned 4 she has been asking for nothing but a guitar. I played a little as a teenager 20 years ago. We had her do some little toddler piano experience classes just to get her exposed to stuff. I thought she had some mild interest from cartoons or...

I was on vacation last week and went through the bossfights via remembrances or whatever on my steamdeck. Combat in this game remains the very best in all FROM games. That is if you understand it. The deflection and posture damage systems are just truly satisfying to do. Whenever I play this I...

A series on Florida Man, lizard variant. It's awesome.

The animation being really inventive definitely keeps me interested. I can only equate it to that one from forever ago, Land of the Lustrous. Which was also an awesome anime but completely batshit insane.

Exiled Heavy Armor guy is currently my favorite.

I've been a software engineer for a very long time. Creating a proprietary key generation function that just so happens to have the same function name as a public domain package is not something that would be overlooked in generic app development. It wouldn't be something that happens by...

OK but what allowed them to try generated numbers until they hit the right one? Most systems prevent brute force like this.

So I'm a retard, is Berserker truly limited to axes in some way? Like if I am Pal/Bsr I don't get any berserker benefit if I am not using an axe?

This has been great dude! Excellent recommendation.

He's supposed to entertain me about videogames. Who cares about their love triangle?

Yeah, my favorite of that time was Tribes. I played the shit out of that.
