Funnily enough though they’re also potentially losing desktop users to Linux.

Continue the 2008 storyline you cowards
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Blue Prince - Have you played it? How blown is your mind?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
I loved it, but I had frustrations. I think there are two almost perfect games in here, the tile based mansion builder and the myst like mansion explorer. Somehow I found that putting them both together resulted in a slightly lesser experience than either of them functioning alone. It’s a very minor blemish on a fantastic experience though.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are you here and not on Reddit?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
External app support being killed on Reddit. I primarily operate on vibes, and those apps being nuked really made me feel like it was going to just keep getting worse. So far, I feel justified.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do low framerates *feel* so much worse on modern video games?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
It depends on what you’re running, but often if the frame rate is rock solid and consistent it helps it feel a lot less stuttery. Fallout games are not known for their stability and well functioning unfortunately.

For comparison, deltarune came out a few days ago, that’s locked to 30 fps. Sure it’s not a full 3D game or anything, but there’s a lot of complex motion in the battles and it’s not an issue at all. Compared to something like bloodborne or the recent Zeldas, even after getting used to the frame rate they feel awful because they’re stuttering all the damn time.

Oh for sure, I don’t think less of people for these kind of situations. More at the state where it’s unfortunate but also interesting. We keep seeing these situations happen with varying amounts of justification from people, it’s interesting to try to understand what’s happening.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Elden Ring Nightreign’s Massive Steam Launch Tarnished by 'Mixed' User Reviews Over Lack of Duos Co-Op, Voice Chat⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
I don’t think it’s obtuse or anything, this stuff isn’t hard to find out before buying. I think it’s probably closer to people being afraid of fromsoft doing something different, but don’t have words to articulate it, so they express it in other ways.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨my kid is movin to AU⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
I’ve lived here in Aus all my life. It’s got it’s problems sure, but it’s relatively safe and the people here are alright. I can’t say anything from the perspective of a parent, but I think just keep in touch how you can, and see how it goes.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm a console gamer so, Why the hate on the Epic Games Store?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
Big issue for me is the direction towards incentivised exclusivity. I can tolerate it on consoles (barely nowdays) because you’re paying someone to use your hardware instead of another, and you have to specifically develop for console hardware. That takes time and effort.

Different distribution platforms do not have such issues, and frankly I don’t want exclusivity anywhere near PC gaming, unless you’re self publishing. Frankly if they weren’t banging on about steam using the industry standard % take, while they themselves are trying to undercut and use garbage tactics, I would have absolutely no problem with them, same as Ubisoft and EA’s garbage store.

Ah yeah then that’s Vulkan
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Grand Theft Auto 4 for PS5, Xbox Series X/S reportedly in development, could release this year⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
Hope you’re running on Vulkan, for me it went from 30ish fps to an illegally high number for some ungodly reason.

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

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.
