I recognise that isn’t MS Sans Serif, that text is also anti-aliased and has kerning.

*Except for the Adeptus Soroitas, who are the most badass group in the imperium.
95% as good as ‘spess meh-rines’ but they’re not genetically modified supersoldiers more akin to another species - they’re just incredibly dedicated women.

Then they’d either be gone, reduced to 5-6 people after THQNordic’isation or making live service games under Sony.
Obsidian was broke.

How did they think it would be any different? - when they remove the entire beginning of the game and expect people to just watch ~15 hours of archived gameplay on YouTube to understand what is going on - they were never going to gain new players, even as F2P.

Most yes, but not all.
Metroid Prime 4 for example would have been english-first as it’s a Retro Studios title with development support from Next Level Games.

- Comment on My low quality unqualified review of the Mobapad M12 S Joycon replacements 3 weeks ago:
The sticks probably are TMR, but there is a reason GuliKit took so long releasing TMR sticks for Joycon2 - you have to add extra shielding since the magnets for holding the joycons in place interfere with reading the magnetoresistance on the sticks.
- Comment on WTF?! Players in AU have to use a CC for age verification via steam just to view "violent" games! 3 weeks ago:
It does, it also allows multiple other forms of ID (some are far worse than CC though, face scan? GTFO) and is required as part of the ‘fairness test’ to offer several different ways of identifying.
Valve have opted only for CC, which is actually against the regulations (only allowing a single method, method that only ~40% of adults as per Parliamentary inquiry have access to)

It seems you’re more intent on insulting Australians and sparking outrage than actually discussing the issue. Have a good day.
- Comment on WTF?! Players in AU have to use a CC for age verification via steam just to view "violent" games! 3 weeks ago:
You need a Credit Card.
The Visa Debit I’ve had on file with steam for ~19 years was rejected. The account is older than the age requirement, Valve has had the card longer than the age requirement, but still no.
I used that card to buy DEFCON and that’s so long ago Valve no longer have records of it (transaction history starts at The Orange Box in 2007 due to changes almost 20 years ago, which was purchased with that card…)
- Comment on WTF?! Players in AU have to use a CC for age verification via steam just to view "violent" games! 3 weeks ago:
There are basically two things you can’t do in a videogames here.
-
Sexual Violence - it’s just not allowed, the South Park scene falls here.
-
Realistic and/or beneficial depictions of drug use - This is where Morphine to Med-X falls.
Violence hasn’t been an issue an ~15 years, but used to be an issue since we didn’t have an R18 rating for games, they topped out at MA15+, so violence had to top out at what was acceptable for a 15 year old and no more, but that’s a thing of the past.

It’s just an oven optimised for airflow.
Even fan-forced, a normal oven recirculates the same air around, which carries moisture evaporated from whatever you’re cooking.
Air Fryer is just a much smaller oven, with a similar sized element and a bigger fan, that also has an exhaust, so moisture-laden air is expelled from the unit and the air hitting the food is always hot and dry.
But all-in-all it’s just a type of oven and you can absolutely use one as a regular little oven or if you crack the door a little and turn the heat up a bit, you can use regular fan-forced oven as an ‘air fryer’
- Comment on DLSS 5 comes with a massive 50-60% performance hit, so I hope you like lower frame rates with your dose of AI image enhancement 3 weeks ago:
The original, original premise of DLSS became DLAA.
It’s in the actual name - Deep Learning Super Sampling - it was supposed take your native res rednering, run it through than and get fake supersampled output.
Then they realised they could use it to run sub-native resolutions.

Tinfoil hat time-
They want the lawsuits. They’ve stacked the courts already, they’ll win and as a hedge the worst they’ll get is told to stop it.
They want the legal precedent from those smaller lawsuits, so Elon and Altman can just start wholesale ripping off games with Grok and GPT-6.

SteamDB is completely dead being bought by NexusMods.
Been hearing this a lot, but no one can ever actually explain why, only that ‘nexusmods bad’ but never even why they’re bad.
Is it because they removed bigoted mods?
Is it because they stopped drama queens holding up entire modding scenes with drama?

- Comment on DLSS 5 comes with a massive 50-60% performance hit, so I hope you like lower frame rates with your dose of AI image enhancement 4 weeks ago:
Looking at the basic performance charts Nvidia has provided us so far, the ultra-high frame rate figures are based on 6x Multi Frame Generation. So, while the little RTX 5060 can churn out a 258 fps result in NBA 2K27 at 1080p Ultra settings with ray tracing and DLSS 5 enabled, the game underneath will actually be running at around 43 fps.
I can feel the molasses from here.
