It’s a relatively new entry in the ‘bullshit companies are pushing’ category. It only works as long as the game isnt pure garbage that is going to lose 90% of its playerbase in two weeks and the die out in less than a year… Since everything is trying to be live service these days.

It used to just be one, but they upped their system requirements awhile back. And again more recently it seems. The first was dropping 32 bit processor support as it accounted for something close to 60% of all crashes with less than 5% of the playerbase running a system that old. I don’t remember the exact numbers, but one of the devs who works on optimizing everything and bug hunting made a comment on his stream many moons ago.

Considering Warframe is capable of looking great while running on three potatoes in series, it really goes to show that those CPUs shouldn’t have any issue with running it ever… Plus they have a very robust crash reporter.

I’ve been thinking that since I first stepped into VR.

Hopped on path of exile with a friend. We’re slowing going through the acts and likely won’t get to mapping by the time the new league drops. It’s fine though.

Been messing around with Sky: Child of Light, that one mmo that is very reminiscent of journey made by the same people and got extremely frustrated. I ‘finished’ the game after getting stun locked, and proceeded to find some trials which required precise control of your character… Which is not a thing. Pressing jump doesn’t always work. The physics aren’t great, and the leeway for timings is much harsher than it needs to be. All in all, that was not the best experience. I ended up on the Farmville quest. First objective I could do alone, second one required another person. Third one needs 3 people…

It’s also the 8th anniversary of Egg Inc. and they have their annual event running. I managed to triple my earnings bonus in one day… Which is fairly significant.

It’s all good, we got there in the end.

I’m counting 35 for the month of July so far. Or 24 is we’re going 5+ Injured/dead

There are ‘mass shootings’ daily weekly depending on your criteria. From some articles it’s any shooting that involves or injures more than 3 people.

The real question is how massive is a mass?

Edit: there’s a chart on the wikipedia, apparently there were no mass shootings on July 2nd and 3rd this year in the United States of America

I do this very silly thing where I watch the first episode of every new anime that pops up, do a short write up on it, and then most likely never watch it again. I’ve found some wonderful gems this way but there is an absolute shit ton of garbage.

That being said, the most memorable instant stop watching I had was the first season of one about a highschool maid Cafe that extorted the MC into joining, dumped this whole “we do bit acting to make it more entertaining”, and then having the MC call one of the other girls her sister, which was immediately a problem. Like there was some obvious trauma and they just keeeeeep on poking at it. Fuck that. It’s rude as hell, the entire show can go kick rocks.

There are way worse than that which are obvious ones to just not watch. Healer redo is one of those.

One of the gems I found was a mech anime based on the Japanese bullet train, and it’s completely bog standard. However, the first episode has an April fools variant of the subtitling that made it worth the watch. Sadly the rest of the show is done properly.

Biggest fail I’ve seen so far from sub to dub was from “ya boy kongming”, which is a delightful watch on its own. Apparently the company which did the dub didn’t think the literal rap battle needed to be translated… Or subtitled. I was very disappointed.

I checked it out last night. The photo editor is close enough to photoshop that I’ll be glad to buy it. From my preliminary perusing of the tools and features, the only thing I used in photoshop that isn’t in affinity photo was the ability to animate things. I’m sure there are some other more important details between the two, but as a hobbyist for graphic design it fits my needs just fine.

I would think they’d need to keep the liquid like contact that’s available under pressure… But I’m no battery scientist.

The decarbonization of our power grid will thankfully not be up to a single technology, but a multitude which are all seeing development simultaneously. Solar is reaching for better efficiency and less harmful creation, batteries of all shapes, sizes, and concepts are popping up from everywhere. It feels more like a race now than a slow decline into uninhabitability.

This article is about manor lords, an indie solo dev who released their game into early access and in 2.5 months hasn’t released a groundshaking perfect version. Whoever is complaining about the speed of development should be ignored.

As for others who have yet to release a game but are being pushed by the publisher to hurry up and get it out are an entirely different matter.

For the article, I like to look to games like terraria, which took quite a long time between patches, and honestly said they were completely done patching the game and the patched it a few more times. People may lose interest for a bit, but each large patch will bring people back as long as it was a good game.

Hey! Those poorly translated east Asian novels that all seem waaaaay to similar to be anything other than one persons fever dream replayed 47 times are just interesting enough to keep me going back.

Ah, these are the aluminum dust under pressure solid state batteries. I wonder how much pressure.

Probably that first NES controller… Those corners were hell on the palms.

Edited to clarify. And you can roll separated buttons just as easily… I know because I’d do it a lot on the psp with dj max.

The directional pad is four separate buttons. Up down left right. I want them to be like the c buttons on the Nintendo 64 controller. Separate.

What ends up happening with me is that I’ll press down but not squarely down. There is a good chance I’ll press partially to the left or right while using smaller d pads. This causes extra inputs I didn’t intend to do happen. The ds made playing tetris much harder on me than it should have for me.

Yeah, I just wish they’d split the directionals.

Who will be on the show: people with more time than sense.

People who won’t: the dozens of actually intelligent cult leaders grifters who are making a living off flat earth believers.
