Might be one of these mattresses with a “break” in the middle so you they fold better.

Yes there was drama, but I feel like you’re downplaying just how bad they overpromised and underdelivered. As a huge CDPR fan since The Witcher 2, (I even preordered TW3 collectors edition the first day it was available for preorder, even though I usually don’t preorder). That release eroded a lot of the trust I had in them, even though I didn’t preorder this one since I could smell the bs from miles away.
I actually got the game for like 6 bucks on Steam during the last sale and I’m now having a blast playing through the actually stable and release-ready version. But I feel like I can still see the scars of the rushed development on the game’s main story progression. Like, I’m convinced that act 1 was supposed to be much longer and more fleshed out. Because I can’t explain why a game that has quite literally the most immersive dialogue sequences in the entire industry (in a gigantic open world FPS, of all things) would have you watch a montage of you doing a bunch of cool things with a very cool character instead of actually having you playing through them. Also you can’t convince me that montage was literally supposed to be a vertical slice of act 1 but they had to “salvage” it and actually put it 1:1 in the game because they were legally on the hook for releasing it as an early story trailer with a giant “scenes captured in engine” text.
They might go back on the “preorder worthy” list if they can abstain from blowing up the game’s hype to the moon and ride it regardless of the actual state of development. And burning out all their best talent on crunch death marches.

Pretty sure Big Picture uses the exact same interface as the steam deck nowadays, which is a much better experience than the old thing. At least when I stream through Moonlight, I haven’t manually launched big picture in years.

It’s usually a constant (or several ones with varying degrees of accuracy and size)

I loved enter the matrix. It was lowkey more fun with the cheats though

As far as I know they can all act as a bootleg external wifi adapter though (via USB sharing)

Take the 9950X3D, your kid should thank you. It fares much better in games that are poorly optimized and should otherwise be just as good if not better than the Intel one.

- Comment on Anon is looking for a new video game 4 weeks ago:
They make the biggest difference for each individual player. But an experienced player will take a CDDA character (scenario where you start with a bad character, naked, sick and with bad wounds all over in a flaming building in the middle of winter) and somewhat easily make them into the ultimate survivor, whereas you can give a seriously op character to a newbie with all the skill already maxed out and no negative traits and they’ll probably die to the first zombie encounter.
A lot of words to say that PZ is neither a numbers game nor really a mechanics game. Ultimately it’s more of a knowledge game

Same reason why squinting also kind of works iirc
- Comment on Self insert power fantasy recommendations? 4 weeks ago:
I’m having a lot of fun playing mount and blade : bannerlord. The combat is satisfying and the game has quite a lot of depth. It can be a bit overwhelming but I think it’s worth the 2h attempt.

Children could also swallow the toothpaste. Not a huge deal if they do it once but iirc it can be pretty dangerous in the long run

Last epoch’s campaign is so mid too. I feel like they somehow both underplayed and overplayed the time travel stuff. At least it’s pretty short
- Comment on The Witcher 4 | Gameplay Tech Demo 5 weeks ago:
No one has been doing that kind of claims directly since… TW3 actually ? Or maybe Watch Dogs. Epic Games and CDPR know that every content creator under the sun will run with that and make these claims for them to start the hype machine.
- Comment on The Witcher 4 | Gameplay Tech Demo 5 weeks ago:
That’s not unbelievable. If the trees voxelization thing is just a visualisation mode in the engine, it’s stupidly easy to “ship” it into a dev build and activate it with a shortcut. Hell the nanite visualisation thing they showed on foliage before that one is exactly that, and iirc enabled by default in dev, you just need to toggle a cvar to see it.

- Comment on The Witcher 4 | Gameplay Tech Demo 5 weeks ago:
I believe it. I’ve had access to a ps5 devkit and UE5 in the past.
What I don’t believe is that they can actually run a full-fledged game on the same hardware at the same level of fidelity
- Comment on I'm sure it's just a coincidence that everything that can be wielded against them either just isn't implemented (good mod tooling) or doesn't work properly (user/instance blocking) 5 weeks ago:
I think that’s a weak attack, if only because the tankie instances heavily really on it too
- Comment on Does anyone use a phone without a protective case? 5 weeks ago:
Not using one with my fairphone, it’s bulky enough already, the entire back is replaceable for cheap and the frame looks solid. I dropped it quite a lot, including on some hard surfaces, and it’s only made a few superficial marks, like it scraped the frame’s shiny coating in that spot, but that’s about it.
- Comment on Had a take about Supergiant Games that recieved a lot of pushback fromy teo longest eunning best friends. 5 weeks ago:
Yeah I say let them cook. Their “worst” game is Pyre (iirc it really didn’t sell well) and it’s still a very good game.
- Comment on Had a take about Supergiant Games that recieved a lot of pushback fromy teo longest eunning best friends. 5 weeks ago:
IIRC they (or at least their design lead) explicitly stated that since the founders were Diablo fans, something like Hades was basically their dream.(And imo you can already see some of that in Bastion and Transistor so I don’t think it was PR talk) So it’s not surprising they’d go for a sequel given how well it was received. But I’m sure they’ll stop soon enough, they don’t seem to be the kind of studio that is in it for the money and I’m sure Hades and Hades 2 are given them more than enough money to take creative risks in the future.
