While I have a few things on disc, I look at it in the following lazy way. We are all mostly old enough to recall TVs without remotes. The 12 channel dial selector that requires you to get up and fiddle with It in order to change the program. That is how I view digital vs disc games. In my...

CEC is garbage. Yes, please switch to the input 3 when one of my kids docks the Switch to charge while we're watching TV on input 1. Very helpful. It also doesn't work well / at all with receivers.

Terrible meme. "you're excited about" - not the choice metric when it comes to voting with your wallet. I was excited about Dragon's Dogma 2. Should I have bought that at full price, instead of waiting to see how it landed? Trust but verify. If you want a key word to use for the next meme...

Each time this thread pops up I'm reminded that the next time anyone attempts to build a new PC, it will be back to like 1980s era pricing, where things were extremely expensive. Everyone who paid < $1500 (maybe more?) for a video card in the past few years should hope and pray that it doesn't...

Quality of life in... the form factor?! I'm not sure how much my quality of life is affected by the case I choose to house my computer components.

Several rounds of layoffs here. Ramping up in India. It's the worst. I come back from a nearly 2 week vacation and I have 900 emails in my inbox. That's with the rules I've accumulated after being here for over a decade. They turned on Datadog alerting while I was out. That accounts for the...

I saw a winner last week in MS.

I don't have a dog in this fight, but here's a bad idea. There are pros and cons to the "Warframe model" where you continuously update a game forever. I think that might make sense for the Destiny model, with the lower player count - why split the playerbases between two games? Why spin down...

I have tried 4 times so far and never made it to endgame without losing interest in the game.

Playing this out of my backlog... Was free on PS Plus at some point. In the 3rd biome currently. Pretty great game, especially as I was just backloggin' around. Pleasantly surprised.

Witcher 1 and Witcher 2?! Ba dum tss...

I thought Vermintide, especially 2, was way better.

Picked up Speed Freeks for $8.

The pull of the mines is too strong. Return to Moria on PS5 the past week or so.

Yeah, even with surge protection at the pole and on my power over ethernet devices, in the past 2 years I've had to replace: 2x garage door opener control boards 1x outdoor AP 1x indoor AP 1x poe switch 3x point to point ubnt wifi APs Lightning is fun.

You guys act as if the dollar amount is the sticking point. You guys are potentially wasting your time on a dogshit product. You will have a lot more information in order to make an informed decision on how you spend your time if you don't buy stuff at launch. I bet you guys bought Dragon's...

Put this shit towards NPC behaviors, combat interactions, and other gameplay stuff for gods sake.

No preorders. I’m also never paying full price for anything ever again.

My project manager got the axe because he ”wasn’t a doer” and guess what? I’m now managing 4 additional projects. I am not really a project manager. Had to change to the $200/mo Claude plan to keep up with everything.

Of course the Indian CEO tapped another Indian to run Xbox.

Just a note on this - Ultima Online had this from the beginning. The only dungeon-found gear that I ever had (and lost) was looted from someone's body. The guild had a bunch of crafting alts making weapons and armor, so there was a minimum amount of gear on hand at any time. Those who played a...

Well the good news is that it is 3 vs 3. That’s plenty of people!

What are your thoughts on the recent goings on as a true believer?

I couldn’t handle all the loading screens in this game.

Congrats @Koushirou

I didn’t even make it past the intro. To me, this looks and feels like Nioh 1 on the PS4. I've already played that game.

I was thinking about some kind of SRE consultancy where I’d offer some kind of quick turnaround plan to actually go to market with whatever AI slop they cooked up. And then professional services on top of that to get things where they need to be code wise. Want to team up?

clank clank clank... A very high percentage of that video was clanking. And running down bossy hallways. The very first bit of gameplay they show were slow attacks and clanking parries. Didn't make a good impression on me. Hope I'm wrong and it's tremendous.

Like with a cloth?

Great news Fallout fans! You spoke; we listened. You can now visit thrilling locations like…. Ohio.

I fired it up again after breezing through it the first time. There's a fire spell that you will find near the bandits you get bounties for in the first area. Scoring Blaze, Scorching Blaze | Tainted Grail Fall of Avalon Wiki This is super powerful. When you pick it up you can't cast it... but...

What I think of when I see stuff like this:

Oh. Crap. That's what I get for next/next/next/finish'ing.

I started a season character as I had this free on PSPlus... it doesnt appear that there are acts though - it just throws you in some town and you can go anywhere and do seemingly everything. Do I have to make a non season character to play the campaign?!

If nobody has top end video cards, you either optimize or lower the graphics quality and graphical features. Think about it. Most people here have good video cards. You paid good money for them. What if it bombs out this weekend and the replacement costs twice as much, or more? Are you going to...

Bump... Been on a Fallout kick. Wrapped up FO4 that I stopped at some point. Modded NV to the gills and started playing that. Downloaded this on a whim on PS5 as I got it for free... shows what can be possible with a modern FO. When I created my character it let me choose a level 20 template, so...

Man if this inspires gaming companies to hire neckbeards who actually understand engines and how to optimize them... it could ultimately be a win for us. Won't be a quick win, but in the long run if the slop goes away and things perform as they could, that could be incredible. See the TES games...

Okay, I was early by a week. NOW they are doing the one game a day thing. Up first: https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/p/jotunnslayer-hordes-of-hel-3579b3
