    Im a journalist!

    And this post is my journal. Please respect my 11/9 review

    Annoyed_Crabby,

    Remember Dean Takahashi? I member

    RHSJack,

    RIP San Jose Mercury News. You have the best game and movie reviews of any media.

    bozo,

    Honestly, most “professional” game reviews are made by average joe gamers who happen to have a platform to broadcast their thoughts. Most of these writers are not expert players nor are they always well versed in the genre of the game they’re reviewing.

    I never understand why people put so much stock into them when their opinions are no more valid than any random person on the internet.

    DulyNoted,

    Docking point for subjective things is weird to me as well. “I wanted a minimap!”

    Skimmer, do piracy w Proton VPN. How good is it?

    Proton VPN is probably one of the best VPNs out there. Has open source clients, is based in Switzerland so under their strong jurisdiction for privacy and data protection, doesn’t keep logs or sell data, has good speeds, includes useful features, etc. I’d definitely recommend it, as well as Proton’s other products.

    @Skimmer Yep. Reading your post through a Proton VPN at the moment. 🙌🏼

    dustojnikhummer,

    Fuck, wish I didn’t have a year of surfshark remaining

    whyrat, do gaming w How much 5e do you have to know to enjoy Balders Gate 3?

    None really. The game will walk you through everything through tool tips and help menus.

    JollyBrancher,

    I’d second this as someone who is only lightly aware of 5e. If only I could remember my attribute points before some dialogue choices. Whoops.

    Pyro,

    At least on pc over over the option and it will show what your roll will be.

    Can’t see the DC till to late but that’s a normal rpttrpg thing

    JollyBrancher,

    Ahhh ok. I’m using a controller at the moment for accessibility reasons, but I’ll definitely look into doing that when I can again! Maybe it’ll show if I just idle a couple seconds over the selection

    Aurenkin,

    It’s possible to view on the controller as well. I think one of the bumpers maybe? I don’t remember exactly sorry but it’s definitely possible!

    JollyBrancher, (edited )

    Right on 🤙🏻 I figured there had to be with how accessible the controller options truly are - I haven’t been able to check since my initial response. I should get to relatively soon though! Option on the controller is: select --> enable help tools

    NineSwords,

    Press the left stick during dialogue choices and a little window will tell you what stats are used and if you get any boni on the rolls.

    Bruuuuuhhh I’m so stoked

    PonyOfWar, do gaming w How do I get into Doki Doki Literature Club?

    Why do you want to get into a horror game in the first place, if you don’t handle horror games well? I don’t see how that could work, as shocking and horrifying the player is kind of the whole point of the game.

    TehPers,

    This. Games don’t need to be for everyone’s tastes, and often aren’t.

    If the story is interesting, then consider watching a playthrough instead.

    muhyb,

    It also depends on the game too. I’m one of those people who hate horror tag to the guts but there are a couple games I was able to play and DDLC was one of them (The other was Neverending Nightmares).

    Currently evaluating to play Needy Streamer Overload but my friends say don’t. :)

    TehPers,

    My partner played Needy Streamer Overload and loved it lol. Not sure what that means for you, but I guess any game’s worth the two hour demo that Steam gives you at least.

    muhyb,

    I might like it if it’s kinda similar to DDLC as in horror aspect. According to HLTB, one playthrough is ~2 hours, so probably won’t go that way, since I succeeded to stayed spoiler-free until now.

    For some reason, I don’t see psychological horror as pure horror. At least I can tolerate it at some point, most likely not all though. :)

    soulsource,
    @soulsource@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

    shocking and horrifying the player is kind of the whole point of the game

    I disagree on the “shocking” part here. DDLC is psychological horror. It does have shocking moments, like the end of Act 1, but this is not the main point. It is way more about relationships than about shock moments. Sadly discussing that part of the game (the later acts…) is massive spoiler territory, so I’ll stop here.

    The fact remains though, that it is a horror game, and if the end of Act 1 is already too much, then sorry, but it is only going to get worse. A lot worse. (Or, if you enjoy psychological horror: Better. A lot better.)

    MTK, do games w We have one at home

    Even though I know this is satire, it still made want to shoot OP.

    chiliedogg, do games w Valve's new hardware will NOT be loss leaders

    They can’t sell them at a loss without a locked-down ecosystem. Sony learned that the hard way with the OtherOS support for the PS3 that lead to a ton of them being purchased to build cheap supercomputer ls and never spending a dime on games or software to cover the loss.

    jj4211,

    I think that was overstated. Sure there were some “fun” projects for fun or publicity.

    However supercomputer clusters require higher performance interconnect than PS3 could do. At that time it would have been DDR infiniband (about 20 Gbps) or 10 g myrinet.

    Sure gigabit was prevalent, but generally at places that would also have little tolerance for something as “weird” as the cell processor.

    OtherOS was squashed out of fear of the larger jailbreak surface.

    4am,

    The US Air Force built the Condor Cluster out of 1,760 PS3s in 2010 which I believe saw some actual use. So more than just publicity stunting.

    jj4211,

    I think that one was also significantly a publicity thing, they made videos and announced it as a neat story about the air force doing something “neat” and connecting relatable gaming platform to supercomputing. I’m sure some work was actually done, but I think they wouldn’t have bothered if the same sort of device was not so “cool”

    There were a handful of such efforts that pushed a few thousand units. Given PS3 volumes were over 80 million, I doubt Sony lost any sleep over those. I recall if anything Sony using those as marketing collateral to say how awesome their platform was. The losses from those efforts being well with the marketing collateral.

    Cethin,

    IIRC, the Deck, at launch, had a limit per Steam account, and it had certain requirements. There’s no reason they couldn’t do something like that here. Sure, it makes it harder to convert console players if they do the same technique, but it could be restricted sales based on something.

    brsrklf, do games w What's your favorite case of a game making fun of you?

    There is a spot in Space Quest 6 where you can skip a puzzle and go to the solution immediately… If you already know what to look for. I tried that once, since it was not my first run and I remembered the last step.

    At first the narrator wonders how you did that, then he assumes you’ve been using a walkthrough. He shames you and punishes you by slowly draining your score counter… Before reverting it and telling you not to do it again.

    Running SteamOS on my living room gaming PC. There are more options than windows 11.

    dom,

    I also just installed pop os on my 2021 laptop that was struggling with windows 11. It breathed new life into it. The computer is now as snappy as when I first got it

    mrgoosmoos,

    I’m gonna have to “upgrade” at work soon and it’s going to suck

    I got a new computer with win11 a year or so ago. I made them buy me a win10 license because I couldn’t do my job anymore. fucking file explorer doesn’t even work on win11. astounding

    greenbelt,

    Fuck the closed console. Do not throw all the computational power away.

    You got a love how out of touch these marketers are. They really do think that they understand gamers while sitting in meetings at the Redmond campus.

    Oh we had mass cancellations yesterday! War room, what do we do?

    Full page ad?

    Brilliant! Gamers will obviously see the value and be grateful for it. Maybe now we won’t all be laid off by papa Satya

    iamtherealwalrus,

    That understand gamers about as much as you understand marketing. It’s about percentages. If they get some small percentage to buy the subscription, it’s a win. It matters absolutely nothing how many people are irritated by the ad.
