They used Outer Wilds screenshots in their article and never even mentionned that game. Is this written by a language model or something?

I wish I could play it, but I don’t think my PC could handle it, being right at the edge of minimum specs. Has anyone played it on a 2060? I can live with 1080p and no Ray Tracing but I’m scared of sub-30 FPS.

Hurmeli,

From what I’ve read it runs just fine on min spec. They made them very conservative.

Forgot to mention I have a gaming laptop. So not equivalent of the 2060 in performance, although it contains the mesh shader support so it won’t literally refuse to run. But seeing as the desktop variant is minimum spec I’m not optimistic.

it is ok on a 2060. the high minimum spec is not because of performance, but because older GPUs do not support mesh shaders. that is why it runs ok on a 2060 while being unplayable on the much faster 1080 Ti

Computerchairgeneral, do gaming w It's Been A Bad Year For The Video Game Industry, But A Good One For Unions

The unionization drive among testers, developers, and others has been one of the few good trends in the gaming industry this year. Hopefully, we'll see more unions form in 2024 and beyond.

Look, I’m just gonna say it. Fuck Gavin Newsom! If Gavin wants my vote he’ll have to disavow his meeting of the minds with Charlie Kirk as him meeting with a fucking fascist. He’d have to abandon his support of silicon valley oligarchs outright and vow to tax them into nonexistence. He’d have to make homelessness legal in California and set up housing for the unhoused with clear social safety nets designed to uplift them financially and socially. And he’d have to defend Trans people’s rights to play in sports as the gender they identify as.

But we all know Gavin is just more of the same Democratic bullshit with slightly more combative language. I suspect he’d make as bad a President as Kamala would have been, or worse. If there is a presidential election next cycle, it’ll likely come down to Newsom vs a Charlie Kirk wannabe or some Nick Fuentes Groyper.

Don’t let that happen, don’t compromise your ideals. Call out everything wrong with every Democratic candidate, so vehemently it’ll make any centrist’s ears bleed. If a candidate accepted campaign contributions from anyone other than small donors, fuck em. You aren’t their constituency if they do.

Lean so far left the whole country tips over.

redsand,

Gavin is classic political slime. Honestly he’d be a very good mayor. Governator has given him too much confidence.

Let the slime dream of being president Rimaru if it keeps him working.

ranandtoldthat,

He was a decent mayor. Ran as a centrist in SF and pretty much governed as an SF centrist. He legalized gay marriage before it had clear majority support. He’d never make that type of move now. He was less terrible on homelessness as mayor than he is now.

Lemme take a guess here: mgmt are going this start complaining that human written articles are dropping off in quality so they will need to focus more on AIGen content.

I like that they experiment around a lot, it probably keeps the work from getting dull for them too with how long they’ve been working on this game. This studio might be my favorite, they’re great with their community and any problems I have with the game’s systems or mechanics (pets, arcanes, under-performing frames, operators, etc.) end up getting fixed. It’s always improving and giving me something to come back to that makes the game feel fresh, even after about a decade of on and off playing!

i have mad respect for them. I play similar stuff like Genshin so my F2P time is all eaten up, but I love that Warframe continues to do whatever the f they want.

@ICastFist@programming.dev avatar

M$ monopolizes swathes of the game industry (and several other computer related areas) while Sony monopolizes nearly everything else media related. This is NOT how market competition is supposed to happen.

BTW, Gotcha Gotcha Games is the owner of RPG Maker and Pixel Game Maker, make of that what you will.

L0rdMathias, do games w Freelance Video Game Journalists Are Propping Up The Industry, And Many Are Being Paid Dogshit In Return

These parasites man lmfao unreal. Propping up what industry exactly, their own subgenre of niche writing? Pretty sure the game developers, tech companies, and hardware manufacturers are the ones by far and large carrying the actual gaming economy.

Auster, do gaming w A PC Game Launching A Launcher After I've Already Launched It In Steam Should Be A Crime - Aftermath

Launchers should do just that, to launch the game. Doing anything other than that is, before anything, a repurposing of the word.

And regarding this specific game, I didn’t see the whole struggle so I don’t even know which game it is, but in case it is officially sold anywhere DRM-free, I strongly suggest going for that, wherever it may be.

This article could’ve been written any decade since the 1990s. It’s nothing new: The big game companies haven’t changed a bit and continue to exploit workers.

The only way to change things is via stronger worker protections/regulations.
