There was a VR game like this called Scanner Sombre.

- Comment on Best game ever? 1 day ago:
I’m going to contradict myself a little, because Vice City is the better game. It’s got an actual story, a great voice cast, helicopter gunships, and the finest soundtrack of any game ever made.
But it was very much built on GTA3. The mind was already blown. It wasn’t going to happen again.
- Comment on Best game ever? 1 day ago:
I’m not sure there can ever even be a “best game ever”, but in any case mine is Grand Theft Auto 3.
Picture the scene. You’ve got your shiny PlayStation 2. You’ve got a bunch of games, but honestly, a lot of it could have been done on the PS1 with worse graphics.
And this bad boy drops, and never stops surprising you with all the absolute chaos you can cause. Not much of a story to go on, but the sheer scale of it was amazing. A whole city of driving, slightly wonky shooting and even flying (a bit). It was a game that just felt like the hardware was designed specifically for that.
We were no longer just playing games. We were living in the future. And we’ve never gone back.
- Comment on Half Life: Alyx is Five Years Old Today 1 day ago:
The headsets have (if you can stomach Meta). Thanks to the combines efforts of Nvidia, scalpers, crypto-bros and AI-nerds, the hardware cost has been sailing into the distance and shows no sign of stopping.
- Comment on Half Life: Alyx is Five Years Old Today 1 day ago:
It took me a long time to get used to VR locomotion.
I still really can’t handle smooth turning at all, but using VRChat a lot (where the teleport movement is terrible) made me get used to the left stick movement at least which is really all you need.
- Comment on Half Life: Alyx is Five Years Old Today 1 day ago:
While I really enjoyed Alyx, it’s very much a game built around it’s own limitations. It’s more of a survival horror game in a way, because of the limits on ammo and deliberately mechanical reloading. There’s no melee at all, so once you’re out of bullets you’re done for.
For all the roughness of Half Life 2 VR Mod, I find myself enjoying it more because it has fewer limitations imposed by the move to VR. It doesn’t always work (and the vehicle sections in particular really push it), but as a mod of a 20 year old game, it’s really good.

What do you think the push for cloud streaming was about?
Can’t pirate it. Don’t even have to sell you it, they can just rent it to you for as long as you play.
Suspect the reason that’s cooled off a bit is because Denuvo sort of works, and consoles have proved difficult to crack.

Oh of course, if you fire all your public workers, you can’t have a genocide because there’s nobody to carry out your orders.
Silly fucking me.
I’m assuming we can look forward to all those cops and ICE agents being fired then.

Locked it behind a Discord community instead. 🤡

Um, one, I suppose.
- Comment on North Sea tanker: Jet fuel spills into North Sea after tanker collision, as 32 people brought ashore 2 weeks ago:
Call me Mr Tinfoil Hat, but: Arrested ship’s captain is Russian national
Trump may well be on Russia’s side, but Russia are on nobody’s side.
Or it could just be a vodka fuelled captain asleep at the wheel, happily ignoring all the alarms and bells that are supposed to go off because they’re literally going off all the time.
- Comment on North Sea tanker: Jet fuel spills into North Sea after tanker collision, as 32 people brought ashore 2 weeks ago:
I dunno. Seemed like an accident the first time somebody dragged an anchor to cut internet cables too.
It could just be incompetence, these ships often have minimum crews, minimum training and minimum wages, and apparently wasn’t carrying cyanide after all. But the tanker was still taking jet fuel to a US navy base, who presumably won’t be able to run as many missions until they get more.
The way the world has been going in the last ten years means I’m no longer a big believer in coincidences.

I’m not sure what the intent was, but the message we took was “children ruin everything”
The kid looked creepy as fuck too.

Ship carrying sodium cyanide hits a ship carrying jet fuel for the US navy…
This is sounding less and less like an accident by the minute.

It’s based on paperwork, not blood.
You can just turn up, release your spawn and claim it belongs there. We’re not frogs in a pond.

- Comment on Forza Horizon 5 Will Require a Microsoft Account to Play on PS5 2 weeks ago:
Exactly. You’d have a blurb, a barcode, and some screenshots from a better looking platform than the one you had.
- Comment on Forza Horizon 5 Will Require a Microsoft Account to Play on PS5 2 weeks ago:
Sounds about right. Needing an account for third party crossplay is nothing new.
This is the back of the Split Fiction box warning about needing an EA account and a billion other things.

How big is his house? How much is it worth now?
How much did he pay for the land it sits on? Or did he inherit that?
Who does he think maintains road networks and all the other infrastructure he relies on?
