  Ah yeah then that’s Vulkan

  Hope you’re running on Vulkan, for me it went from 30ish fps to an illegally high number for some ungodly reason.

  I mean, there was one person that didn’t in this article, and they got fired.

  Oh I completely get you, on a rail is a famously difficult spot for a lot of people. I think the lack of landmarks and long duration really hurts that chapter. If it’s any consolation it’s mostly a one off situation, and yeah black mesa doesn’t really have an equivalent.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are some good examples of "Where the fuck do you go" kind of games?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Don’t feel too bad about it, the best bits are the first half or so I’d argue.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are some good examples of "Where the fuck do you go" kind of games?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Which bits in particular? Because on one hand it’s a fairly linear design, but on the other there are some bits that can loop around themselves and objectives aren’t always obvious.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are some good examples of "Where the fuck do you go" kind of games?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Oof yep I feel that one. I love the wheel and spoke moderately open world level design, but if you actually need to move the story it can be very difficult to find where the next bits are.

  Most likely it’s going to be a giant backstabbing event until somebody eventually rules over the ashes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cities Skylines 2, Kerbal Space 2, Planet Coaster 2, Frostpunk 2... What Went Wrong?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  So I’ve been playing Tropico 4 for a bit, and it looks pretty good. You’re always zoomed out, so you don’t need to have more than like 8 polygons for a limb.

  I literally could not run cities Skylines 2 or KSP 2 at a good frame rate. Everything was modelled incredibly well and looks great, but that doesn’t mean shit if I can’t run the game. I strongly suspect that’s a big contributing factor.

  In addition to this, they’re going to against their biggest competitors: the previous game. It’s literally the same game with more content, runs incredibly well by comparison, has a huge mod library, and is much cheaper to boot. Might not be as pretty, but it actually might not matter given what you’re playing.

  I think there’s probably a lot of issues that contribute to this to be honest, but it feels like at it’s core it’s a fools errand to begin with.

  You know that’s not too unreasonable thinking about it, I’m pretty sure their proton setup works in a similar way

  Are there 9 haters? It wasn’t my favourite but it’s very good and I don’t think it’s a bad favourite at all.

  I’ve been watching English Friren, it’s absolutely terrific.

  That sounds well below the acceptable % for doa parts, especially if ASRock is indeed nuking chips.

  Do you think like a pirates of the Caribbean look, or will he look exactly the same, like he swam through a time portal or something.

  Well then the obvious conclusion is that respecting women makes you better at video games.

  PS4 emulation has come a long way. I haven’t played fully through my copy, but I was going through it at 60fps through the first few areas with little to no issue. You may want to wait until all the kinks are out, but it’s pretty good as it is.

  Probably? I have memories from over a decade back so

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This speaks for itself⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I feel you. They aren’t necessarily wrong to concentrate on the other stuff, but the world did feel a bit happier when things had a bit of life to them, at least to me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This speaks for itself⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I know it’s a perfect example but I’m sick of modern design trends. Muted colours and uniform shapes, nothing ever interesting or emotion inducing. I’m probably pretty biased but still I’d love to see something that had some life to it.

  Sort of, but those let you use the pre-existing codebase for each game as is. This lets you play with the inner workings. You could do something drastic like implant rollback netcode, add new classes, wild shit.

  For sure. I can at least give them the benefit of the doubt when they say that shadow organisations are trying to control them. Like that can happen, it does happen, it’s kind of happening. Motivations can range from societal change to world ending prophecy. However when they say shit is explicitly for making money, that’s a very clear cut goal you can easily prove or disprove.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When You Block the Internet on Your Phone, Something Astonishing Happens Mentally⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I did something similar to what this article describes a bit back. For me it was turning off my phone, the effect was staggering. Anxiety etc dropped immediately.

  For me in particular, it was being constantly available to anyone in my life, but also the doom scrolling, and knowing there’s a vast ocean of infinite content at my fingertips. Sure, I could curate my experience, and block people, but overall the phone is still functioning largely the same as it ever does. I can always turn those features back on. By changing how the device works externally, you’re disconnecting those people from the decade and a half of reinforcement and whatever they have associated with their phones.

  To get similar results I was able to just turn off my phone, but that might vary for some. Anyway, it seems reasonable for the experiment at least.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PhysicsForums and the Dead Internet Theory [old specialized forums have started backdating millions of LLM-generated posts]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  See I don’t follow that one, because how are they actually making money in this theory?

  In the real world the ai bullshit is just another grift that’s a giant money pit. While I recognise people that follow these kinds of theories probably don’t have critical thinking skills, I wish they would following thinking to it’s conclusion. It’s a stupid hope I know.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do we know this is actually Earth, and not just some torture chamber in Hell and we are just being punished?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m kind of in the same boat.

  I think it can fuck with people that rely on self determination for security or self justification? At least the couple of people I’ve met that take issue with the idea seem to mostly be uncomfortable with the implication that their choices and actions might mean less.
