I do like some intellectual stimulation and will hold contrarian views just to test the waters of my own understanding or to test yours. I don’t always believe the things I say online. I want you, AND me to understand the world around us better.

thantik,

You do something called raycasting to determine visibility beforehand, and don’t render anything not visible.

Yuzu actually even took steps to make the emulator NOT run pirated versions of the new Mario game before it officially released. I ran it on Ryujinx like a week ahead of its release date, but Yuzu literally refused. They insta-banned anyone who talked about it.

thantik,

Oh yay, another game that looks like it was made in the 90s…

thantik,

You wanna know a secret?

You can do both!

But Gamefreak knows you people will buy it regardless. Why waste time making a good game, when it’s not going to matter?

thantik,

I’m just so tired of repeating terrain textures, water the looks like garbage. I’ve seen single-developer indie titles that looked, played, and were better written than the last 5-8 pokemon games.

So you prefer playing as another gender? (quanticfoundry.com) angielski

Well, as a guy, I’ve been asked multiple times why I systematically play games female characters in video games, to the point of skipping a game if I’m forced to pay a male one, with a few exceptions (I really liked Albus from Troubleshooters for example). Whenever there’s romance in a game, I’ll also take the F/F route....

thantik,

I’ve always played male characters, just because I identify with them more. Playing female characters gets all those lonely simps thinking your a girl and I don’t like attention in games. I have played women in games, and it doesn’t bother me though - I do have plenty of female characters just because they fit the ‘theme’ better sometimes. I don’t think it really says anything deep about you. It’s just a preference.

thantik,

Nice, I’ve got the OG PinePhone. It had some circuit board issues, but I loved helping at the ground floor. Is the PPPro good enough to daily drive yet?

I also keep a USB, but with my Keepass database so that it’s an offline carry. I keep 2 copies additional to that, 1 in my fire safe, and 1 in my mothers fire safe.

thantik,

Nice - I never really use my camera anyways, so that’s great to hear.

thantik,

Owning a Nintendo 64 is a pretty big hurdle. Have you seen how much those fucking things cost now?!

thantik,

If you can manage to find a place that has one, they’re usually selling for $200+ now. I’m pretty sure I can get ebay chinese replicas for like $50 though, but there are some games they won’t play.

thantik,

No, it looks like prices have come way down in the past few months. Last time I checked was a year+ ago. My information just wasn’t up to date.

thantik,

I’d emulate anything over giving Microsoft any money at all. But thanks.

Microsoft, EA, Ubisoft, Activision, Blizzard – all on my shit list and will never get a penny from me.

thantik,

I credit this game for the way I drive today.

thantik,

People who believe rainbows are gay and avoid them because of that, deserve to have that freedom taken from them. Rainbow me up baby.

thantik,

Yeah, the technical error of enabling them before they meant to. Anyone who’s stupid enough to have bought a Ubisoft game in the past decade deserves this shit. There’s so much excuse-making about the way gaming companies are going, that they can all get fucked. I hope they enjoy their full screen ads.

They didn’t accidentally code everything for this, test it, put it in updates, etc. That was all on purpose, and they ‘accidentally’ enabled it to measure how much outrage was generated. If people make excuses for this shit now, it WILL be coming as a permanent “feature”.

thantik,

You can still self-host. Simply, the commercial options for hosting will be Nitrado. Nitrado loaned them a large sum of money to keep the doors open.

thantik,

Too little too late, and soon they’re gonna be owned by Microsoft. Fuck 'em. Let them eat cake.

thantik, (edited )

He was already retiring. He planned on taking the fall for this obviously unpopular change, is getting his golden parachute for doing so - that way all the ire and hate will leave with him, and Unity manages to successfully move the overton window into bad changes, that somehow everyone is HAPPY about because they got the worse-changes first and they feel like “justice” has been had.

Reddit did the same fucking thing with Ellen Pao.

Introduced a whole bunch of bullshit, everyone got pissed at Ellen (an interim CEO) and then she took off and everyone was happy while being fed horse-shit because “justice” had been served…she was out of her…job that she was already intending on leaving. God, I hate that everyone are such suckers…

thantik, (edited )

Lots of obvious astroturfing going on regarding this. I’ve seen this news everywhere from Slashdot to Reddit with people sucking Microsofts dick. It’s either that, or people are too young to remember the bullshit Microsoft pulled … since forever basically. People aren’t going to benefit from this merger. Microsoft is patient. Embrace, extend, extinguish is their strategy. 10 year agreements are nothing for them to wait out.

And it’s the same with every merger – “This will bring more competition, blah blah blah”, then merger goes through and half the people are fired, half the rest are rolled into existing systems, and some empty shell of the previous company just wanders along with no real spirit any longer.

thantik,

Won’t care until it’s announced that I can play it on the PC. They released Zero Dawn like…a year after it’s exclusive launch on PS4 I think?

I’m still chomping at the bit for it to release on PC. If I bought a PS5, it would basically be a H:FW player, and I can’t justify buying a console for a single game. The PS5 just doesn’t have enough good titles on it.

thantik,

I just noticed that. At the very end of the clip they mention wishlisting it now, so I wishlisted it. They say “early” 2024 - and it’s one of the few games I already know I love (H:ZD was so good, I watched a 12 hour playthrough with my wife over the course of a couple of days, and she said it was as good as watching a movie)…

thantik,

And when you DO migrate it to a Microsoft account, and DON’T want them to have your phone number, they’ll fake “There’s been suspicious activity on your account, we HAVE to have your phone number now!” until you give it up.

Steam's Oldest User Accounts Turn 20, Valve Celebrates With Special Digital Badges - IGN (www.ign.com) angielski

Some of Steam’s oldest user accounts are turning 20-years old this week, and Valve is celebrating the anniversary by handing out special digital badges featuring the original Steam colour scheme to the gaming veterans....

thantik,

Sept 12th 2003 is the date of my account. Tomorrow it turns 20. Very nice.

thantik,

I was a daily CounterStrike 1.6 player back then. I didn’t have a choice. Literally couldn’t play unless I converted over to a Steam account.

thantik,

“What’s your friend ID”
“123456”…
“Okay, what’s the rest of the numbers?”
“That’s it. Those ARE the numbers”
