This is me, except for spending an hour getting the thing running properly and graphics settings tweaked properly just to play 10 minutes and never touch it again. Sometimes I wonder if I actually just enjoy tweaking games.
Rozwala mnie cały ten Ezra Klein do którego podkastu mnie tu namawiali. Posłuchałam trochę i w sumie to co rozmawia z jakimś ekonomistą to opowiada o tym jak bardzo jest przeciwko deficytowi budżetowemu i jakie to smutne że USA traci hegemonię na świecie. A i tak uchodzi tam za radykalnie lewackiego jak na standardy NYT.
This was such a great RTS/FPS hybrid at the time. I looked for RTS/FPS games a couple of years ago when I remembered it, and the genre is all but dead. I did spend a lot of time playing Silica though, which is still in early access. I haven’t checked in on that in a while now though.
I remember those prices. I was there, when we went past a dollar and the gas station attendant was pissed saying, “we’ll never see it under a dollar ever again”, and he was right.
I remember when it went past $2 because I worked at a gas station at the time and all the patrons were pissed. This was before pay at the pump, so people would come in to the register and pay cash mostly. They would also bitch and moan. Yeah - sorry it isn’t my fault. I was making minimum wage and had my first car. I wasn’t too happy either.
This looks like Silent Hill or maybe a Resident Evil so Imma go out on a limb and guess that Japanese developers don’t know how much gas actually costs here.
Or, if this is indeed Silent Hill 2, they’re using average prices of the Eastern US from back in the 70s/80s, where the game is set (according to the dev; shit looks more like the 90s to me). 🤷🏻♂️
Resident Evil takes place in 1998, and apparently the average cost was $1.06 per gallon at the time. Obviously, they just put the average price on the sign rather than deviating from it a little bit for realism, but it does look fairly accurate. Apparently it was $1.23 the year before and $1.17 the year after so it wasn’t always that nice.
I clicked on this because I’ve enjoyed your previous articles, despite not having heard of Gardiner before. Maybe it’s just the kind interests we Lemmy users have, but he’s ticking every box for the kind of thing I like to read!
And even more so that you’d trust it would be worth a read purely because my other posts have been a nice read! That is so nice to read - thank you!
I find I check in with Gardiner’s blog each day now, I love clean and ‘pure’ sites and articles where the intention isn’t affiliate links or ads, or begging for new Patreon supporters…just the topic at hand!
They are pointing out that there’s loads of good games on Steam that don’t cost $80, given the prevalence of such good games there really isn’t justification for that price point.
The picture shows that a game that is yet to be released (I actually thought it was already out but apparently not) is only £35 ($45) If you want the bundle which gives you two games it’s only an extra £1
Personally I’m not that interested in snow runners it just seems like an infuriating game, but the fact that you can get it for virtually nothing is interesting.
Embark is working wonders through The Finals. I came from Destiny 2 and am so glad to have devs that listen to their entire community and put so much effort into their game.
I am excited to see what they do with Arc Raiders!
Eh, I’m not to beaten up about it. It kind looks like any of the good talent at Bungie is long gone and they’re just outsourcing a lot of work. It kinda feels like they crapped this out under pressure from Sony.
I dunno, I heard about the history of Bungie and what Pete Parsons did to the company. There should be no surprise. He destroyed it and Marathon is just another indicator it seems.
I feel bad for the artist and hope they get more than just “exposure” after this.
