I’ve read that the reason for the useless stories prior to recipes is that the more you have to scroll the more ads you will see, or it counts differently as a page view, something like that. Basically just another example of enshittification to please the search engine.
That is genuinely surprising, but I’m terminally online so maybe it shouldn’t be. These articles get trotted out every 6 months or so when Star Citizen passes whatever milestone. Lots of people enjoy it, some people complain about it, but it’s certainly an anomaly in the gaming space.
Didn’t most console games run at 30fps until recently, so effectively 30hz, right?
I swear, games running at 240fps on a 240hz monitor have actual motion blur, no need for post processing
Ha, forgot about that. Maybe this trailer just feels over the top
The first one was campy but it felt way less self-aware
Yeah, kinda.
For anyone who wants to skip the article–which is really just a fluff piece interview with Salvatore–this is the rest of the quote.
“That’s been one of the toughest parts,” Salvatore told Polygon in a Zoom interview. “4th Edition D&D almost broke me, not because I didn’t like 4th Edition D&D. I’m not making any judgments – positive or negative – on any of the editions, but the changes were so sweeping.”
He tries to put things from the games into his books and it’s hard to do when things change drastically, so he just sorta fudges it.
Yeah, and somebody is going to have to start, so is that you?
Maybe it is, and I know capitalism isn’t big on forethought, but wouldn’t it be better to not do a negligence in the first place?
Though I guess capitalism is kinda like electricity in that way; it’s not about the best path it’s about the most convenient path.
I love the idea of generation ships, and I think we should use them even if they don’t end up being as important in the long run.
Yeah, what is this, Red Bull?
I’m sure Hadjar is going to get the nod any minute now, what with all the points Tsunoda has scored, lol
“Book of the New Sun” was a fucking fever dream and is widely considered one of the best fantasy books. My friends couldn’t stop talking about it but I just thought it was strange.
“Latro in the Mist” was more accessible to me.
But this will be different, everybody will pay a sort of “rent” to use this office, but it’ll be worth it because it’s so big and has bedrooms and bathrooms, and you can put your office wherever you want, and even own it if you want to
Just finished the musical episode in Season 2, which was quite silly, but it’s all so fun that it’s hard to criticize. This is a show that knows what it is and revels in it.
I just like the way he reviews stuff. Straight to the point, it’s great.
2007, I think. I had recently moved and didn’t have internet hooked up yet, so I bought BioShock as a physical disc so that I wouldn’t have to wait. Imagine my frustration when I learned about the online-only authentication bullshit it used for DRM, so having the disc didn’t even matter; without Internet I couldn’t play the damn thing at all.
I bought GTA4 for like $8 during a Steam Sale shortly after it came out, back when Steam Sales were crazy good. An absolute steal for such a great game.
Hey, is it okay if there’s a place where we’re not being fucking advertised to all the time? Fuck off with this.
Never had multi-user stalls or pissers, but I seem to recall a big round communal trough for high bathroom throughput. Everybody just kind of pissing in each other’s general direction.
I’m with you, I love arcades but I just wish I didn’t have to buy SpaceBucks (tokens, credits, chips) in order to play. Oh, Capitalism, is there nothing you can’t enshittify?
