  Last epoch’s campaign is so mid too. I feel like they somehow both underplayed and overplayed the time travel stuff. At least it’s pretty short

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Witcher 4 | Gameplay Tech Demo⁩ ⁨⁨17⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  No one has been doing that kind of claims directly since… TW3 actually ? Or maybe Watch Dogs. Epic Games and CDPR know that every content creator under the sun will run with that and make these claims for them to start the hype machine.

  Then I think you’ll have much better luck figuring out a way to get a jack-to-USB adapter to work with your car’s radio

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You probably don't remember these but I have a question⁩ ⁨⁨20⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t think it will work in USB. Afaik on PC it can only work with iTunes, so good luck installing that in your car. If it’s “that” old though, it should have the one interface that is so perfect it has barely changed in one century.

  (The audio jack…)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Witcher 4 | Gameplay Tech Demo⁩ ⁨⁨20⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s not unbelievable. If the trees voxelization thing is just a visualisation mode in the engine, it’s stupidly easy to “ship” it into a dev build and activate it with a shortcut. Hell the nanite visualisation thing they showed on foliage before that one is exactly that, and iirc enabled by default in dev, you just need to toggle a cvar to see it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Witcher 4 | Gameplay Tech Demo⁩ ⁨⁨20⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  I believe it. I’ve had access to a ps5 devkit and UE5 in the past.

  What I don’t believe is that they can actually run a full-fledged game on the same hardware at the same level of fidelity

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm sure it's just a coincidence that everything that can be wielded against them either just isn't implemented (good mod tooling) or doesn't work properly (user/instance blocking)⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  I think that’s a weak attack, if only because the tankie instances heavily really on it too

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does anyone use a phone without a protective case?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Not using one with my fairphone, it’s bulky enough already, the entire back is replaceable for cheap and the frame looks solid. I dropped it quite a lot, including on some hard surfaces, and it’s only made a few superficial marks, like it scraped the frame’s shiny coating in that spot, but that’s about it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Had a take about Supergiant Games that recieved a lot of pushback fromy two longest running best friends.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah I say let them cook. Their “worst” game is Pyre (iirc it really didn’t sell well) and it’s still a very good game.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Had a take about Supergiant Games that recieved a lot of pushback fromy two longest running best friends.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  IIRC they (or at least their design lead) explicitly stated that since the founders were Diablo fans, something like Hades was basically their dream.(And imo you can already see some of that in Bastion and Transistor so I don’t think it was PR talk) So it’s not surprising they’d go for a sequel given how well it was received. But I’m sure they’ll stop soon enough, they don’t seem to be the kind of studio that is in it for the money and I’m sure Hades and Hades 2 are given them more than enough money to take creative risks in the future.

  Please do explain

  GameCubes also had ATI GPUs. Never heard of any issues with these

  Sounds like they could be fully replaced with AI. Not sure we’d lose much there

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What level of interest do you have in "empire building" location based games?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Idk about the whole corporation vibe. I’d personally go for “pure” industry.

  Does that sticker say “no God, no State, no cable salad” in German ? Because that is peak Lemmy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Argument for Cutting Off Internet for Repeated Piracy: Sony Music & More Say the Law’s Clear, No Supreme Court Intervention Necessary⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  How is there even an argument there ?? You need the internet to find work, handle tons of administrative bs etc. You basically cannot function as a citizen in most western countries without it nowadays.

  Maybe start by pricing your shit fairly and not have me pay 7 different subscriptions to watch movies that were shot before the internet existed. Not to mention that I don’t want any of my infos on your servers because you’ve demonstrated several times that you don’t care nearly as much about this data than your precious IPs, Sony.

  Because they’re not practical and they fell out of style

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What was she thinking when she did this?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s not even ATBGE because imo that’s not really bad taste. But it is on the weirder side.

  I don’t remember, but I know for a fact that cats are their natural predators

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it weird to juggle in the park?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s possibly the least disruptive thing you can do that may also entertain some passersby

  I was gonna say, OP’s got it backwards, but if that works for them, more power to them !

  First time I’ve laughed at one of these in years

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You might want to hose it off when you are done⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  People in general aren’t that good at washing their hands after peeing tbh. Though I would generalize Muslims as generally more hygienic since it’s basically a core tenet of their faith iirc.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨U.S. Secretary of Commerce says the ‘new model’ is factory jobs for life—for you, your kids, and your grandkids⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Otto von Bismarck moment.

  (Context: dude instated pretty much the first pensions system in the world to try and stop the Marxists gaining influence, and allegedly asked the guy in charge of making the program to set the retirement age at a value where most of the population would die before reaching it. Iirc they settled on 70 years old, which is definitely too old for the average 19th century factory peon)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨🔪🔪🔪⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I always sacrifice some small piece of fruit or meat to them when the wasps are getting annoying. 65% of the time, it works everytime and they fuck off with their gift and never come back

  KF2 has some amazing animations for guns handling (and great feeling when shooting) that still hold up to this day. Such a shame that they ruined the art direction with all the shiny shit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Valve's invite-only Deadlock has an even more exclusive top-secret hush-hush version⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yep. Joining your favorite TF2 server on a Saturday afternoon and seeing that half of the server playing sandvich heavies, doing a conga line, having a full on philosophical discussion in the spectator chat, or annoying the engineers as a group of spycrabs was peak gaming

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Valve's invite-only Deadlock has an even more exclusive top-secret hush-hush version⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Here’s hoping KF3 doesn’t suck (unfortunately the odds don’t look too good currently)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Liquid Trees⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think the idea behind this is that algae are more space-efficient than trees at producing oxygen and/or capturing CO2. Of course this is also ignoring that the bulk of a tree’s volume is high above the ground, and they also provide other things like shade and shelter for insects etc.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pope⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  in 2004, a new category of astronaut was created: the commercial astronaut.

  Let’s not mix the people who saw colleagues die and put their own lives on the line for science with the human billboard receiving money to advertise a rich fuck’s commercial vanity project that’s already been deemed safe (in no small parts due to it being tested by actual astronauts beforehand).
