- Comment on [Vice Undercover, a] narrative thriller takes place in a fictional '80s OS, and the devs obsessed over keeping just the right amount of old school jank: 'We did retain the dial-up modem' 5 hours ago:
Unless it includes fighting Trumpet WinSock, it’s not going to have enough jank.
- Comment on SteamOS massively beats Windows on the Legion Go S 1 day ago:
Meanwhile in reality, Xbox as a console ain’t doing so great.
Your average non-gamer
Isn’t a target market. Gamers range into their 60s and onward now. If someone ‘isn’t a gamer’ chances are they’re aren’t even going to be.
- Comment on What games are just objective master pieces? 1 day ago:
Games are not Art, they are Games.
Videogames can also be art, but they are also games and ‘games’ (note: not ‘videogames’) are not art.

Not just because some people don’t have it either, but for anything with RTX2000/3000 and RDNA2, Forced RT is just forced low framerate.
I hope making everyone dynamically draw the lights and shadows in realtime for a linear game was worth the 15c it saved on Microsoft’s electricity bill for not pre-baking overnight.

That’s just classism repackaged.

You can, if you don’t know their gender, instead of assuming one way or the other - that’s what them/they/their/they’re are for.

Which means there’s an incentive for studios to remove it as soon as new sales aren’t bringing enough money for its cost to be worth it.
Tell that to Square Enix…

- Comment on The Baldur's Gate 3 cast got a new set of pre-painted minis and—oh, oh no, oh no no no 1 week ago:
Which is surprising in this day and age.
Laser scanning is possible, 6-axis milling machines exist and on a subminiature scale.
Why is there no 6-axis painting machine? I understand there are 3D printers that can do this, but 3D printing costs more than just making a die (or reusing a similar die from another model) at a certain scale.

Just remember that GTAV’s performance on PS3/Xbox360 is about how well GTAVI is likely going to run on PS5/Xbox Series X.
We’ve got a few years until the PC release as PS6 is coming.

- Comment on Nintendo Anti-Piracy Policy Device Lock Update Warns of Console Bricks for Unauthorized Use 2 weeks ago:
That and probably since V1 switches are softmoddable forever.
‘Bricking’ seems to be hyperbole from the author though, I’d wager they’re doing the same online bans as Switch1. However as Game Key carts are going to be a big thing now- with no eShop access those Game Key carts might not work if you don’t have the game downloaded already. (or possibly might not work at all)
That would render the device unusable if you only had Game Key Carts and/or digital purchases, you’d not really be able to use the console at all.
- Comment on Nintendo Anti-Piracy Policy Device Lock Update Warns of Console Bricks for Unauthorized Use 2 weeks ago:
The latter is also how Microsoft and Sony handle it.
You go online with a modded console? Console ID gets banned and you can’t ever access online services of any kind with that console.

They’re being snarky, but the PSX game is different to game released on PC.
- Comment on Even Starfield's community patch modders are growing 'disenchanted' with the sci-fi RPG, as volunteers depart in droves: 'If nobody comes forward, we may have to retire the project' 2 weeks ago:
There is just so much potential… squandered.
Silly example- why are there elevators and LOADING SCREENS in New Atlantis - if you have enough jetpack or just abuse TCL, you can walk around the entirety of New Atlantis, without a single loading screen.
But for some reason Bethesda decided it needed some loading screens for no good reason whatsoever.

- Comment on Chips aren’t improving like they used to, and it’s killing game console price cuts 3 weeks ago:
Trump is the cause of it, just last term.
Very long story short- Trump crashing oil prices in 2016/2017 more or less ‘killed’ GlobalFoundries and which left TSMC as the only leading edge pureplay foundry. (Intel isn’t pureplay, Samsung is no longer chasing leading edge)
Trump caused the chip shortage.
