Yeah, early access with an apology.
- Comment on Paradox Takes the Blame for Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 Sales Flop, Announces $37 Million Write-Down 12 hours ago:
Dang, they’re a joke.
Weird that they want to expand out of the strategy game genre by turning a love RPG into a basic action adventure game.
- Comment on Sean Murray just crushed my hopes of playing Light No Fire anytime soon 16 hours ago:
He didn’t hype No Man’s Sky. He lied about the game and what it had at release to trick potential customers into making him rich.
“Lie” - a verb with a clear definition and there’s no reason sugarcoat it.
Also, the game didn’t have “free” updates. They made millions selling an unfinished piece of crap to a lot of suckers.
- Comment on By technical standards were 3D TVs impressive, Why didn't they catch on back then? 16 hours ago:
Weirder things have happened.
3D TVs were pushed by movie studios trying to sell 3D Blu-rays at a time when streaming was killing the idea of physical media.
Video games didn’t go all-in. Which made it even more niche.
VR is having a lot of growing pains.
- Comment on By technical standards were 3D TVs impressive, Why didn't they catch on back then? 1 day ago:
VR seems a lot more isolating than 3D glasses in front of a TV. Even the powered active 3D glasses are a lot less cumbersome than any VR headset.
I absolutely wish that someone made a 3D TV with the New 3DS technology in 4K. Have the 3D effect turn off when more than one person is watching TV.
- Comment on By technical standards were 3D TVs impressive, Why didn't they catch on back then? 1 day ago:
Yes, you needed a 3D disk player, 3D TV, 3D version of whatever you want to watch. That’s a lot of upfront costs.
Very few movies are filmed in 3D. Avatar did it right but almost nothing else did and it shows.
Video games should be doing it right now on PC but most folks would rather use all the extra horsepower to run their games at 200fps.
- Comment on By technical standards were 3D TVs impressive, Why didn't they catch on back then? 1 day ago:
There was not enough content for 3D TVs and people didn’t want to wear special glasses.
Also, consoles were too weak to display 3D content.
- Comment on China’s chip industry will surprise the world 1 day ago:
How many more “China Scary!!” stories will we have this week?
- Comment on Paradox Takes the Blame for Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 Sales Flop, Announces $37 Million Write-Down 1 day ago:
Can’t wait for the next sequel that will be some kind of live-service multiplayer game with lots of cosmetic DLC.
- Comment on Proof That Recent Windows Update Harms Gaming Performance 3 days ago:
It harms a game not all games.
Clickbait bs.
- Comment on 'Brazil Just Succeeded Where America Failed' as Coup-Plotting Ex-Pres Bolsonaro Arrested 4 days ago:
Better late than never.
It was dumb to let him stay in a cushy home.
- Comment on About This Account reveals the scale of Twitter’s foreign troll problem 4 days ago:
“Followed by John Cena”
- Comment on 'Brazil Just Succeeded Where America Failed' as Coup-Plotting Ex-Pres Bolsonaro Arrested 4 days ago:
Bolsonaro only has house arrest. He should be rotting in a prison cell.
- Comment on At this point it might be the wisest decision 5 days ago:
Calm down Peter Thiel.
- Comment on One hour into Gears 5 and I feel its a lot better than 4 6 days ago:
“Not enough effects. False advertising”
- Comment on Dell and HP disable hardware H.265 decoding on select PCs due to rising royalty costs — companies could save big on HEVC royalties, but at the expense of users 6 days ago:
Isn’t AV1 a lot lower quality?
- Comment on Dell and HP disable hardware H.265 decoding on select PCs due to rising royalty costs — companies could save big on HEVC royalties, but at the expense of users 6 days ago:
Those shit PCs from Dell and HP are going to feel even slower and they will have an even worse battery life. Just to save $0.02 per PC.
Their plan is to have user buy some app after purchase to unlock the hardware on their on PCs.
- Comment on One hour into Gears 5 and I feel its a lot better than 4 6 days ago:
Super Mario Bros - 1 out of 10 “not enough weapons”
- Comment on ‘California sober’: marijuana may help you drink less, study finds 1 week ago:
It’s not as bad for you as alcohol but it has its own drawbacks that must be managed. Also, it’s not that great to be around stoned out folks.
- Comment on Ahead of her time 1 week ago:
I could but I won’t provide proof just like these lying science fiction articles.
- Comment on Ahead of her time 1 week ago:
Every scientific article with “could” in it is bullshit.
I could have a twelve in cock in my pants.
- Comment on ‘California sober’: marijuana may help you drink less, study finds 1 week ago:
Every alcoholic I know used weed to curb their drinking.
- Comment on 'I've had so many projects that have been discontinued lately': Nier creator Yoko Taro says he's been working on plenty of games—but they keep getting cancelled before he can announce them 1 week ago:
They don’t.
I’m just saying that it would be 100% better than all the shit the billionaires are doing.
- Comment on 'I've had so many projects that have been discontinued lately': Nier creator Yoko Taro says he's been working on plenty of games—but they keep getting cancelled before he can announce them 1 week ago:
Billionaires should be funding whatever Yoko Taro is cooking instead of trying to destroy earth and democracy.
- Comment on Valve's new hardware will NOT be loss leaders 1 week ago:
It seems like you’re too emotionally invested to have a normal conversation like a person.
Health is an app you can delete. It’s not forcing you to do anything. You don’t even need iCloud for anything. You don’t even have to use their walled garden App Store. I know because I download and install shit from the internet all the time.
Yes, it’s free/bsd based. Who cares? I just want it to work and the chassis and build quality on the laptops are excellent.
- Comment on Valve's new hardware will NOT be loss leaders 1 week ago:
That reaction makes sense is a gaming forum because gaming totally sucks on OSX.
OSX is a great OS. I don’t know how anyone can use Windows after 7.
- Comment on Valve's new hardware will NOT be loss leaders 1 week ago:
“I’m not interested in that product. It is impossible for someone to be interested in that product.”
- Comment on Valve's new hardware will NOT be loss leaders 1 week ago:
Yeah, it would probably be a better idea for AMD to sell variants of the APUs being used in the current generation of Xbox and PlayStation.
My guess is that those chips are under exclusivity contracts and/or they don’t want to undercut their lucrative discrete GPU and CPU market.
Why sell one efficient product when you can sell two more expensive ones?
- Comment on Valve's new hardware will NOT be loss leaders 1 week ago:
Hackingtosh Steam Machine will definitely happen.
