We’re trapped in the belly of this horrible machine
And the machine is bleeding to death
This kind of goes for all the Mountain Goats songs about The Alpha Couple.
Soon:
Step 1. Get a desktop instead.
Step 2. ???
Step 3. Profit
Exactly. When the person who holds your purse strings decides they don’t like something, they can influence you by simply… taking away your financial backing.
Who hides in a Pineapple from the FCC?
EDIT:
All I remember about Rage is buying it and then immediately refunding it. This was several years after release and somehow it still had stupid issues with Radeon video cards. Ain’t nobody got time for that.
I suppose maybe that’s fixed by now, but I never went back.
The patent is a lot less interesting than it sounds initially.
It instantly made me think of the original Borderlands and how my friends and I would try to see how long we could “bounce” on each others heads, because if you jump on top of another character, you’ll just keep “bouncing” off of their head.
It’s tricky to keep landing on them, even if they’re not moving!
I kind of figured they meant that something dumb like that could be turned into an actual mini-game within a game, allowing you keep score.
No, the patent is way fucking dumber, sounds like more stupid AI bullshit, and basically focused on dumb streamer shit.
how Sony and Arrowhead kinda shot themselves in the foot with account linking.
The graph from the article literally proves the opposite.
Account linking happened May 6th. It is on the graph as point “A.”
There is a small increase in the decline of the player count, but you had already lost almost 200,000 players since the last peak on April 1st!
So between April 1st and May 6th the game went from around 370,000 players to around 170,000 players, and the current player count literally can’t drop the same level because that would be less than zero.
So, the bigger drop came way before account linking, friend. The game was already dying, and the account linking just firmly put it out of its misery.
…and once again, warnings stating “DO NOT BUILD THE TORMENT NEXUS” go ignored.
Another series worthy of discussion!
You know, you bring up a really good point, honestly.
My friend had a similar complaint about Baldurs Gate III.
“Why so much body horror and gore? When I was growing up and playing DnD, we were never exploring that kind of stuff. DnD can be so much more than just body horror and gore.” Not verbatim, but you get the idea.
As much as I love BG3, I don’t actually disagree with his sentiment at all.
There should be an opportunity for people to play similar style of games that aren’t so gory or depressing or both. Not every stealth game needs to be cyberpunk and depressing.
Or any area of your body where there’s a lot of blood vessels near the surface of your skin.
I like standing in a cool shower and letting the cool water run over the front and back of my neck.
Wet T-shirt and sitting in front of a fan.
We naturally cool our bodies by sweating.
You can sort of hack that process by getting a t-shirt wet, putting it on, and allowing the moving air to help speed up the evaporation process.
WARNING: NOT FOR USE IN HIGH HUMIDTY.
Adding more water to an already hot and humid situation risks a Wet Bulb.
System Shock 2 is begging for a remake with actually functioning netcode for multiplayer way more than the original.
Bioshock would eventually iterate on this, but the RPG systems of System Shock 2 are so, so deep, and I always appreciated that you could still get attacked by enemies while trying to hack machines. It made doing things like hacking feel very dangerous. Bioshock literally pauses time for you it’s so weak by comparison.
Top-tier writeup. The original will always hold a special place in my heart but Mankind Divided was an excellent modern interpretation of similar systems of gameplay.
I never asked for this.
Everyone needs a Gary in their life.
I’m happy to be the Gary for my less technically inclined friends. Their lack of knowledge would get me kicked off private trackers if I invited them so they could curate their own collections, so it’s just easier to be the guy who makes it easy for them.
Be like Gary, sharing is caring.
For a minute, I thought this was Geto Boys - Still
