  That is the one game I won’t save scum. It kills the spirit of DnD if everything can’t go to hell.

  While UE5 is a one size fits all for game dev, it does not mean all games have to try to have the highest quality graphics possible. CO took that route. You can do whatever you want and optimize as much as you can. You are correct, studios are just going ham on the capabilities and not caring about the hardware requirements. Having a min requirements of a 12th Gen intel, 32GB RAM and 3060 is fucked up. And you need 64GB of RAM for good performance. My biggest gripe on the UE4 vs 5 opinion is that you can still make a low-fi game that runs at 200fps. It’s a design choice not an engine choice.

  I hate to be the one to say it but an ambitious game made by a small team is a shit game to use as an example. They did not have the budget to optimize and the game is full of small technical flaws. Who ever told you that UE4 is better than UE5 is wrong, even without Lumen or Nanite. Also most games in UE4 only used 2k textures and in UE5 8k textures are used. The assets are heavier in general.

  You are the first person I have ever heard say UE5 sucks. Why?

  After being in an ICU for a busy night and being in the same room while another person didn’t make it, I am DNR on like everything. You shouldn’t need to do that to my body for me to be alive.

  I have gotten IARC ratings for a couple of games and unless you are Nintendo with millions of dollars to use to get a game down to a children’s rating, your game has a 15+ rating. Any violence against humanoids is an auto 15+ without any blood or gore. So that is a PEGI 16+ or ESBR 17 Mature for indie games. They do some serious magic to check all the boxes to make children’s games.

  Afterwards the patients walk around like zombies for many hours and it is incredibly unfun to witness.

  Someone said that coop is not in the game as advertised on Steam and they were going to add it at a later day. Is that true?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Uh oh: Ubisoft postpones its quarterly financial report at the last minute and halts stock trading⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What are the user reviews like? Reviews by the media for games made by these mega studios are paid for, so I disregard those.

  Locks are not for stopping people from breaking in, they are for making it harder for people to break into your stuff, forcing criminals to find easier targets.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon studies Organic Chemistry⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I had a Chem class where the prof opened with “my goal is to fail as many Engineers as possible”. The average on the final was 27%. Luckly some important admistrator in the Eng department’s kid was in one of those classes and they got the tenured professor fired.

  Facism is making the people that would normally be reasonable get really emotional and people love to lash out anonymously.

  This is definitely written by an ai, and it’s pure laziness when people don’t fix the styling, which makes it so obvious.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I was in a long term relationship with someone with a drinking problem. When a drunk person says something to you they fucking mean it. Their filter is weaker and, as I label it “they have the courage to say something that they were afraid to say sober.” When you figure this out everything is easier to understand.

  How does it go when you remove them from a fully pressurized tire? I have only ever removed cores when the tire was empty or had a low amount of pressure.

  I don’t remember his music ever being cool or edgy. It was like drinking lacroix when soda is available.
