Yeah I hated all the time warp boss fights especially. I gave up on the game on the last trip back to the beginning area. I LOVED the side quests and general gameplay loop but whenever the main quest came up I was bored out of my mind. I think I would have enjoyed the game more if it was just a sandbox.

Lowest since November 2024. Still not good but it’s still mostly just wiping out what he gained when Trump took over… hope it keeps going

It sounds like you do agree with my last statement, I said if x then y. You said not x so not y.

I think the runaway success of astrobot for the PS5 has got execs watering at the mouth. If It’s as good as astrobot then I don’t think 10bucks is all that crazy either.

This comment is going to piss just about everyone off, but tik tok was actually amazing for the couple hours America was banned. That’s not an endorsement of tik tok just an observation.

What would your #1 Buff or Nerf be?

If they made a TF3 (haha valve can’t count), what sort of changes would you like to see, what things would need to stay the same?

With TF2 being open source now, what spin off games do you hope to see?

I mean i guess it worked, overwatch is pretty happy community right now (by online game standards), least in my experience. Although I think the bigger thing is toxic players are first to leave for other games, like rivals.

Piracy I can forgive, but leeching… that’s unforgivable.

I got civ6 for free from epic, played it for a while and decided I wanted the dlc, it was cheaper to buy the full game on steam plus all the dlc than to buy just 1 dlc from epic.

A good month for action RPGs

Seems like all the way on the other end of the spectrum of Kingdom Come deliverance 2. Might pick this up after I’m done with Kingdom Come.

the lack of stealth is a bit of a turn off for me personally, but the hand placed events and mobs seems like a big plus.

Does anyone know if the game is viable without any companions? The reviews I have seen seem to complain about them a lot and I already dislike AI teammates.

This isn’t a first, quantum teleportation has been a thing since 1997. The breakthrough here is teleporting the information of an entire logical gate. The usecase here enables them to link multiple smaller quantum processors together so they can act as one bigger system.

A big part of why it doesn’t have as big a visual impact is because scenes have to be designed to be acceptable without ray tracing. Not only that but with mandatory ray tracing mechanics that are reliant on RT can be implemented.

The opening of Indiana jones has quite a lot that isn’t possible traditionally and looks pretty awesome to my eyes.

Currently the most popular gpu according to the steam survey is a 3060. That plays the only other mandatory RT game, indiana jones, at 60fps on high. A 2080 can play on low at 50.

The first ray tracing GPU came out 7 years ago (rtx 2080), eternal came out in 2020. In 2013, the top card was a gtx 680. Eternal lists it’s minimum specs as a 1050ti and from some quick google people trying to run on a 680 are getting sub 30fps on low. Of course just supporting ray tracing doesn’t mean it will actually be playable, but indiana jones (the only released game that requires RT today) seems to get 50fps on low with 2080s.

Fwiw a few 2080 supers are going for sub 50 bucks on my local buy and sell groups.

I can’t think of a game that doesn’t have it, unless you mean for your teammates and opponents? That seems like an obvious way to reduce toxicity, and avoid giving info to people trying to DDOS their opponents. Modern games you don’t need to lead or trail your shots based on latency, if it hits on the shooters screen it will hit. this is often called “favour the shooter”.

sounds great, until you read literally the next sentence:

They run afoul of the law when they bypass encryption, recreate copyrighted programs, or point users to pirated material.

aka you can emulate stuff, just not for anything remotely modern.

My switch 1 is gathering dust, mostly because of the awful controllers. Looks like they made the controllers bigger, and the magnetic slide looks much better than the switch1. I hope they significantly reduced the stick drift problem. I hope they allow 3rd party controllers to turn on the device.

Ianother problem is whatever you have that charges the keyboard, you’d need ~109 of them. I still think it’d be cool tho

Where are you getting that number? There are many different types of supercapacitors, which vary in lifespan quite a bit, the conditions (mostly voltage and temp) also have a big impact. The article doesn’t specify the type of cap used.

For instance this paper tests a supercapacitor rated for 2.7V at 2.5 and 3v. At 2.5v the cap is estimated to have a lifespan of 100yrs, with 3v scenario it’s 10.

Keyboards don’t get very hot, and the voltage draw is very predictable so I don’t think designing a long lasting capacitor for this usecase is particularly tricky.

I would be worried about the lifespan of the solar panel, but at least it’s still usable without that.

Isn’t tik tok closing down in the us in a day or so?
