I played PoE2 for a couple of days after release, but have recently picked up the new Indiana Jones after cancelling my game pass subscription (gotta finish before my timer runs out). I’ve been having a blast with the game though. Playing on hard combat + hard exploration has made the game very realistic to me. The puzzles are adequately challenging, taking at most a few minutes to solve even without hints, but they do feel good, all very logical.

He actually did. I can barely tell it’s not Ford doing the voice acting.

I played a lot of TA as a kid, didn’t know the devs had made a new RTS, but the art style from the game in the link sure looks very reminiscent of TA.

To me it feels like FromSoftware’s take on Risk of Rain, and I’m here for it.

Someone could make something out of that…

Let me tell you why this isn’t fraud:

1. Teens makes a memecoin on a legit crypto platform (as legit as they can get)

2. Teens buys X amount of his own memecoin for 350 bidens

3. People that like to invest on memecoins (aka idiots/gamblers) bought into the coin

4. Coin value goes up

5. Teen sees that the X amount of coins he has is now worth 30k

6. He sells it on a legit trading platform, cashes in on 30k

7. Because he sold a huge amount at once, market is flooded, coin goes down in value

8. The other gamblers that were looking into doing the exact same shit got mad at him

I’m not saying crypto isn’t a scam, as memecoins are textbook pyramid schemes (buy in early for low, sell as soon as it’s worth it cashing in on the idiots who bought late), but the way this works can’t be defined as fraud because it’s simply how the whole stock market works.

That reads as an excuse, “they are not really capitalists” type of argument. Yes, they are. They sell products, Microsoft, Amazon, Meta… They all sell products, they are all capitalists to the very core. It’s just that, one of their products is us.

That part of the support email almost made me puke of how fucking awful it was. “Why complain about ads when you get YouTube Music for free by paying us money”

I really wish I could stop using shit google stuff for work…

It’s only bad if it’s not an USian company, didn’t you get the memo?

You forgot your /s there, friend. Be careful with the Internet these days, reading comprehension is a hard to find skill in this age.

I once made this argument to a game dev community on Reddit and was called crazy for it. There are games where I literally have to remove my headsets when they open. Devs that make games for pc should understand that pc users don’t just use their pc to play games, but also for other things. So volume control is obviously tied to each individual app/program.

I would like it if all games launched a simplified settings menu first thing after you open them up, before any cutscenes or intros.

I haven’t played it yet, still unsure if I will, but everything I’ve seen of it is nudging me towards not playing it. The dialogues I’ve watched were poorly written, cutscenes were okay at best, and the new companions seemed all to be obnoxious teenagers.

To me, Dragon Age Origins is the only game in the franchise that’s worth playing. The Warden is your character as the player, and that, to me, is the hallmark of a good rpg. None of the other Dragon Age games put as much effort into allowing you to choose and make your own character. The fact that DA:O had entirely different intros, that were both long, well written, and nuanced, based on your combination of class + race was the thing that sold me into that game. Hawke is not your character, but a character they wanted you to play for a reason, but I’ll give it a pass since the idea of Hawke’s story was fairly good, just not as well implemented (DA2 should have been a spin off and not part of the main series). The Inquisitor is even worse, it could have been your character, but it’s some weird generic character that’s there just to perform a function in the world. I’ve played most of DA2, but only a couple of hours of Inquisition, and it was enough to know that both those games fell short of Origins, and this one is looking even worse.

An RPG needs excellent writing above all else. Good gameplay comes as a close second, but it should be mostly about allowing players to forge their own path and have their own interpretations of the world. RPGs need nuance and subtlety, you can’t just constantly regurgitate something to someone’s face and expect them not to be annoyed by it.

That’d be cool, but compatibility is a huge issue. I’ve looked into buying one, and there’s no model available for my device.

I couldn’t quite understand why people were memeing on Zen 5. It’s 5% performance increase while at much lower TDP, what is there not to like? Efficiency is plenty important. And even if we could see a 20% performance increase while using more power, is that worth it? What are the true benefits of a 20% faster CPU when considering pure gaming while we are already at the top of the spec sheet? The games where the difference would be a massive number of FPS are those like CS2 where you would go from 600 to 720 fps, does that truly matter? I like my pcs running as efficient as possible, that way I know they’ll last longer.

Great! Now bring back phones with physical QWERTY keyboards.

Because a lot of times other people will share things whenever there’s enough controversy? Often things will also show up on the news? Not that uncommon for things on twitter to show up outside twitter?

My pc auto-upgraded because I donwloaded what I thought was just a regular update. I’ve been using 11 for like a year already, and it’s fine. Install powertoys, run christitus utility… The one thing that really bothered me for a while was not having as granular of a control of my taskbar, but that only lasted for like two weeks.

Same! I probably will be replaced just as all the other “meat sacks”, but I hope to at least be given a degree of dignity upon my inevitable demise.

I think of this anytime I see some alleged leftist on Twitter talking about anything as if they were paragons of ethics and morality. It might be a bit of cynicism on my part, but I can’t take it seriously whenever someone can’t take a hint that maybe they shouldn’t be in a platform owned by a Billionaire that makes a point in basing his personality on the fact that he is an imperialist bigot. I wish Twitter had stayed banned in my country…
