Yes, at a large company there would be a position that is just that. What I was (poorly) trying to say is that it's not really the best idea to have the feature developer perform this task. At a smaller company I imagine the role would be to set up and run the automated testing infrastructure...

Yes, you don't, but don't you think there is value in a person/position that would flesh out those tests? I guess it depends on the product.

@Deathwing I wrote up a big reply, but re-reading your post it wasn't quite what you asked. It's not that developers don't want to review the output of the tests ran against their code. Instead, it's usually that development deadlines are so tight that they don't have time to do that kind of...

Just a heads up - if you already have Dirty Rally like I do, you can get the VR addon for $13. It features a codriver mode which is going to lead to a certain divorce for me. My wife can't give directions for shit.

Okay, the new VR box is pretty cool. If you do research you will see that the older one doesn't pass through HDR and if you want to use headphones with 3d audio, you can do that, but you can't do headphones AND play audio for those watching. The new VR box (in the Skyrim bundle) not only passes...

Got one! Picked up Farpoint too. RE7 was out of stock. Best buy had a stack of fucking 50 bundles. About 30 of them were Gran Turismo bundles. Plenty of Skyrims. The kids and even the wife are freaking out over the multiplayer demo stuff where you are interacting with the person in the VR...

Looks like I'm hunting for a Skyrim bundle today.

Stream or shut up.

Bummer. Shitty end to a solid game. I guess time will tell but my guess is that there some epic fuck ups by execs and Disney had no choice but to pull the plug. Edit: Fuck me. I just read the last page, and my guess is way off. @Byr that's way worse than I expected.

I think you are correct. What was a mainstream full price game is becoming a mainstream game with some purchase price with the implied spend within the game to compete or get the "full experience". I had something typed up about how this may be similar to how complex some mainstream games used...

Absolutely. It's painful to watch the matches she's in because the skill level is so low. I guess the point I'm making is that even at that skill level it's filled with level 1200+ people. Best case those are other kids.

Overwatch is an interesting comparison because the player base is actually retarded. I'll put it to you this way. My 11 year old daughter gets to play video games only on weekends. Most weekends we're out of town at sports events, so zero time spent playing. She's now level 100 in Overwatch, I...

@Pyros if you have a PS4 with a bad HDD you can get any $50 laptop drive. It's an amazingly easy install. It boggles the mind that you guys have PS4s and haven't played Bloodborne or Uncharted yet. Hell, if I didn't have everything digitally I could send care package to you idiots to get you...

F&F is for flat bill idiots. Rush, however.

If you have Comcast in your area, skip all the bullshit and sign up for a business account. I average 1.4 TB downloads, with about 600 GB of uploads per month. It's mostly boring work stuff, but they don't care about data usage if you want to go crazy.

Bummer. Well, that makes skipping the game that much easier. I did like the star fighting.

@Kiroy did you read the updated statement about loot boxes? They backed off what it was, which was absolutely pay to win. Read this carefully. I'm still not entirely convinced, either, but my backlog is enormous. I'm in no rush to buy something else. How We've Updated Crates and Progression -...

I think you're fine. If you want to spend under (roughly) $400, Yamaha is the best receiver you can buy. They have owned that tier for a long time. Pioneer used to have some good things, but that hasn't been the case in a long time. > $400 < $1,500 I'd say Marantz. That's where I always have...

GX-7 - Lexicon driving Polk LSi series speakers that I'm slowly replacing with totem acoustics stuff.

I wouldn't recommend that Yamaha receiver simply because it doesn't have pre-outs. You'll be constrained later. I'm a huge Marantz fan - I would go with a SR5012. Marantz US | SR5012

I run a squid proxy at home and use that when I'm aggressively trying to download items from PSN. Just note that some games actually try to use the same proxy for gameplay (like Battlefront 2) so be sure to remember to turn it off when you're not trying to download things. I only turn it on...

Edit: let me rephrase. Every game made for these consoles right now will be playable on the future consoles >= 10 years from now. It's fine to skip out on generations, as that will only save you time and money. The good games will bubble up. For example, if for some reason you haven't played...

That's the thing. There isn't going to be a console lifecycle anymore now that everything is x86. Look at everyone moving to 4k everything for some reason. Do you honestly think the games are going to run at a reasonable framerate at 4k? Of course they aren't. What's going to happen is you're...

@Hekotat are you playing on PS4? Let's play some. I've been playing nothing but solo (In the BUTT clan, which is some... SA thread clan? It's worthless) and it's alright. edit: not play right now, I mean. it's 7:45am here.

This game would be a lot better if it wasn't segmented by various DLC packs. I try to play each night on PS4 and only about once a week do I find a match on the latest DLC. It's fucking impossible to find a match running the French DLC. That ship has sailed.

I just did the calculations to verify which projectors I can upgrade to, and the only thing available is the Epson 4000 or the 5040UB. I don't want to blow $2900 on a projector right now when my 8350 is still fine. 106" screen at 19.5' requires a serious throw ratio. Can't fit a bigger screen...

I got an interesting request from a client. At one of the places I work (I have two jobs, 30hrs and 20 hrs / week) we provide analytics for a bunch of companies - most of our stuff is gathered via FOIA (freedom of information act) requests, and we analyze the stuff into specific fields and have...

I have been working on this game since July on PS4. I'm around level 23 - can't power game like I used to. It's fantastic. The quality of every single quest is absurd. I would suggest doing every single quest, even the secondary ones. It's just fantastic from top to bottom. The only downside...

With my first kid, my wife still worked so we did a family daycare when super young, and transitioned to a learning-focused (still family ran) daycare when she was closer to school age. This was in the bay area, California, and was $900/mo. After the second kid my wife stopped working, and I...

Drone footage from Santa Rosa:

I got a bluetooth SN-30 from this company. You can find them on Amazon. Awesome controller! 8Bitdo

Anyways, it's best to look at CAL FIRE's twitter feed. We're on fire up here in the Yuba County area, but it's a less populous area. CAL FIRE (@CAL_FIRE) | Twitter

All of it, roughly.

I had to turn off my network proxy on my PS4. If you guys haven't tried it, and you have a linux box at home that can run Squid, you can increase your PS4 download speed significantly by using a HTTP proxy. Anyways. Turned that off and I can play. It's floaty bullshit shooting just like the...

While the process to get a beta code worked fine for me, I would get error code 729 when trying to go online in game on the PS4. Tried it about 3 times tonight, spaced out hours apart. Either the servers are full or they're on to it. Open beta is tomorrow I guess?

Oh my god the sounds in the space battles.

I was able to sell my PS4-normal on Facebook Marketplace for $200 cash.

Look, Chrono Trigger was also $80 and we all had it. We just couldn't talk the parents into buying more than a few of those $80 titles.

Yeah, as far as I know. It's really confusing. FF2 in the US was FF4 in Japan. As far as I know, back in the day, if you played them as they appeared: NES - FF1 US should be FF1 in Japan. SNES FF2 = FF4 SNES FF3 = FF6 Playstation FF7 = FF7. .... years pass... Things like the Anthology...

FF3 in the US was actually FF6 in Japan. What you probably bought as a kid was called FF3.
