I don’t read my replies
The real punch line is that in a cafe run by programmers, esoteric rules are in full force, but tables 0 and 1 are no where near each other.
Every game executive and investor wants a Fortnight. That’s why no matter how many times gamers reject it live service games will continue to be developed. Because AAA games are made for investors not players.
It doesn’t matter how good your browser is when you can only access content through an app.
That’s the way things are headed, I’m afraid. In a few years you won’t be able to load Facebook, Youtube, Reddit, or Twitter(formally X) from a browser.
Am I the only person who watched Singles (1993)? OK, pretty forgettable romcom, but absolutely the soundtrack of the 90s.
No matter how many re watches, the chodes are still going to think DFENSE is a hero.
Except… for the combat. By the end of the game, they need 50 bad guys to even pose a challenge to our Max Paine protagonist. But not in the cut scene, of course. By mid-game, you’ve killed more cowboys than cholera.
There is a beautiful quick-draw mechanic that’s only necessary in 2 (optional) side quests.
I’m so disappointed to see how successful Gamergate was in poisoning people on games journalism. The reason I know this vitriol isn’t organic is because it far outstrips the stakes.
The danger is buying a video game on bad advice and some of y’all are acting like Kotaku raped your mom.
Bring a diaper (nappy). When you go swimming, you can put valuables in the diaper (cellphone, jewelry, etc) and not worry that anyone will take it.
I hate America, because that’s where I’m from and what I know the most about. If I lived in your country, I’d hate it more.
“Centrist” is a phony identity. It’s a put on, like journalists who pretend to be “objective”.
The whole thing is a reification of the concept of political “spectrum”.
Self identified centrists are usually people who’ve only been recently engaged in politics. They imagine themselves as neutral arbiters; the consumer that chooses the best ideology. They represent themselves as above politics, when in reality they’re operating on an elementary understanding.
Politics is values. The left values equality while the right values hierarchy. No human being has ever valued the midpoint between hierarchy and equality.
The biggest difference between Joe Rogan and Sam Harris is that Harris ought to know better. Platforming scientific racists like Charles Murry is the opposite of intellectual inquiry.
It’s motherfuckers like him who’ve turned the skeptic community into safe spaces for open bigotry. And worst of all, he’s known to impersonate a philosopher.
The chuds are calling this games sales as a repudiation of “woke” game design. IDK what’s more pathetic, that they trust the “free market” to be the arbiter of truth, or that they found the pure version of the market in China.
Blood Meridian
I don’t think this is impossible to adapt. I don’t even think it needs a huge budget. If you could nail the cinematography; be comfortable with long sections w/o dialogue; and resist the urge to re-work the pacing you could have something. Think Barry Lindon(1975) but as an ultra-violent Western.
The Cohen bros. proved that McCarthy can be adapted in this way. Think of the opening scene of “No Country For Old Men”(2007).
Film is a different medium than literature. If I were a casting director, I’d be laser focused on finding an actor with the chops, and let the makeup/effects guys worry about physical appearance. Have you seen Barron Harkonnen in the new Dune films?
There will be blood
Unforgiven
No country for old men
This is a trilogy that’ll give you a good idea about America’s relationship with violence. At least until they make a (good) Blood Meridian movie
It plays much better than it did on launch.
I’ve got a 1660Ti, and it’s not perfect but smooth enough to play med settings on 1080p. The biggest thing holding me back was VRAM, so I’m interested how they address that on the older consoles, with an eye toward better performance for me.
I’m pretty sure most consumers of porn are just interested in watching people fuck. The wraparound story isn’t that important. And it certainly isn’t data for some amateur Psych study.
I mean pizza delivery guys used to be a popular “story”, But I don’t think people were secretly trying to recover from their Oedipus trauma with the help of the Noid.
My disappointment isn’t with the enemy variety or gear drops. It’s with the dead world. My first hours in the game I saw a wolf walk through a herd of deer both ignoring each other. When you’ve just come off RDR2, seeing wildlife as decorations running 2 scripts that both depend on player interaction is lame.
Even FarCry3 had emergent game-play through enemy/wildlife AI.
I’m glad to hear.
Elden Ring’s open world is good, but not their wheelhouse. They certainly embarrassed EA, but I don’t think they’re competitive with Rockstar.
So they just broadcast the messages from all the towers in the network? In plain text I hope.
