Mordachai_Shedbacon, (edited ) do games w Starfield and Baldur’s Gate 3 Revive Age-Old RPG Debate About Encumbrance - IGN

Jim Sterling release a video on this earlier this week
Probably just a coincidence…

Ookami38,

Holy shit I’m out of the loop. With as much respect as is possible has Jim sterling always been a woman? Like seriously I’ve seen the name a TON, but never actually watched a video lol

Now, on-topic, yeah, I agree with 100% of what she said, and said word for word some of the stuff she did just earlier today lol.

BruceTwarzen,

No she used to be a man. I used to watch his old videos on YouTube, and only a few month ago i remembered it, and looked if he had a podcast, so i started listening to the jimquisition podcasts and was really confused how he's not in it. Only then they said James Stephanie Sterling i finnaly got it. She seems to do fine, she's also a wrestler now.

Ookami38,

Yeah I caught the introduction of “James Stephanie Sterling” and was like… -record skip- wait what? Not that it matters, just was a surprise, and I couldn’t find anything specific googling lol

Starfield’s quality really shook them huh.

NewNewAccount,

Good or bad?

li10,

Buggy and disappointing to a lot of people.

Buggy and disappointing to a lot of people.

And here I am, thinking that it fits Game Pass with its “7/10, would not buy it but it’s alright if it’s on GamePass” quality games just perfectly.

ArrogantAnalyst, do gaming w Baldur's Gate 3: Act 3 Bugs and Missing Content Becoming a Problem as More Players Near End

I finished the game after about 85 hours and yeah… act 2 and 3 need some polish. I ran into more than one gamebreaking bug. But overall it was still a really really great experience and taking the complexity of the game into account I think the overall polish of the game at release was quite good.

How did you beat it that fast? I’m 70ish hours in and only starting to get close to done with act 1 maybe.

uberrice,

By at some point saying ‘OK, enough side quests, let’s move on with the story’. I plan to replay this game multiple times, so I do not mind missing some side quests in my first playthrough.

Also on the 2070 boat :( I think I might sell it 2nd hand soon before it’s worthless hahah

Transcendant,

That link gives me a 404… do you know why it’s included internet connection in the recommended (but not required) specs?

Kolanaki,
!deleted6508 avatar

It’s not a link; i was saying the Internet connection is only even mentioned because of the Bethesda.net service and access to the Steam Workshop; both are for getting mods, and Bethesda.net is also where you’d get paid cosmetics and whatnot if they have them. It’s not required to play, which is why it’s only in recommended.

Transcendant,

Ahh I see, thanks for the explanation.

@ADHDefy@kbin.social avatar

Same. I just bought the 2070S like... 3 years ago? 2 or 3. I thought it would let me max out games for closer to 5 years, but here we are. lol

Transcendant,

Some of my friends were laughing at me as the 30-series was about to release when I got the 2070s. I was the one laughing when none of them could even get a 30-series a year later, without paying scalper prices! It’s done me really well, feel like we got in just at the right time before prices went nuts and availbility dropped.

Seems to be better now, last time I checked the prices weren’t overly-insane and there were plenty of units available.

Madbrad200, do games w Minecraft's 'Vibrant Visuals' Upgrade the Start of a New 'Graphical Journey'

Would be nice if they revisited the raytracing implementation

simple,

I’m surprised they never followed up on it, it was kinda cool. I really liked the reflective blocks.

comrade19,

I think it’s such a good implementation but it does make it a bit harder to play when you’re in dark places

CommanderCloon,

They only implemented those in bedrock edition, available in the MS store… I’d rather they add it into Java edition so us Linux gamers can use them, and not tie them exclusively with NVidia

MrScottyTay, do games w Minecraft's 'Vibrant Visuals' Upgrade the Start of a New 'Graphical Journey'

Not a fan of the water, the new visuals somehow make the texture look even more obviously tiled

Keener, do games w Lego Confirms Pokémon Collaboration Set For 2026

Mega Blocks already have this covered. I’m curious to know what major differences there’d be to justify the inevitably high cost of the Lego branded versions

Kecessa,

The most major difference will be quality and less reliance on custom blocks?

We bought some of the Mega Blocks Pokemons for my SiL’s kids and you can feel that the quality just isn’t on par with Lego

Keener,

I’m currently working on the Charmander with my daughter. The quality feels fine, but I’ll definitely be curious to try out a lego one when it releases

Zahille7, do games w Lego Confirms Pokémon Collaboration Set For 2026

It only took 25 years. I’m not even a pokemon fan but I’m curious what their sets would look like. I have been tempted by a couple of the Mega Bloks sets though, and I even got one of the mystery pokeball sets and ended up getting Bulbasaur.

Asafum, do games w Disney Said to be Considering a Surprising Replacement for Bob Iger: EA CEO Andrew Wilson - IGN

Man it’s weird how things happen. I was literally just listening to Bo Burnhams “funny feeling” this morning and he has a line about “Robert (Bob) Igers face” and I thought hmm I actually don’t get that, I don’t know who he is. Then I open Lemmy and see this lol

Grandwolf319, do games w Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 Dev Says Big Budget Games Are Failing in Part Because Teams Are Over-Scoping Their Projects

I think it’s cause of envy. Every once in a while, a game comes that just seems to do a lot of things and become very very successful (like red dead and gta).

Then these other studios get FOMO and turn to a go big or go home attitude.

So what you end up with is this inflation of features when only a few devs can land a big game like that.

I would have loved to see Larian take on the White Wolf IP and make a Vampire: the Masquerade game.

smeg, do games w A Prominent Accessibility Advocate Worked With Studios and Inspired Change. But She Never Actually Existed.

(Copying my own comment from the beehaw post)

Blimey, and they say IGN only does 9/10 reviews nowadays! Fascinating article, very keen to hear if it develops any further.

What was this guy’s motivation? Playing the long game to get rich selling his kick-started ventures? Just for the glory of everyone telling him how great he is? Real altruism in a really weird way? Did he actually help improve accessibility enough in games for the ends to justify the means?

andrewrgross,

Hard to really say, but I would venture that the best way to tell was from what he did with the attention.

I doubt it’s as simple as ‘He did it for the money’ or ‘He did it for the clicks’ etc. I’m guessing he did it for all the attention/money/influence it got him. I think as we confront a world where AI can be used to fabricate people with incredible ease, the lesson is that people need to occasionally meet in person if we want to guarantee that they have a physical personhood.

hal_5700X, do games w Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 Delayed AGAIN — This Time to the First Half of 2025

Paradox Interactive has too much money into Bloodlines 2 to let it die. But we all know this is dead. Even if it comes out.

DragonTypeWyvern,

Paradox didn’t spend $18 million dollars making a dick and boob slider in Crusader Kings 3 for just one game. Let them cook.
