ech,

It’s as much related to gambling as Balatro is.

ech,

Regarding the potions, I haven’t read the books, but the wiki alludes to “Children of Destiny” not needing the trials, of which Ciri is part of. Even if that’s not it, I don’t think a grown woman choosing to undergo the trials is comparable to forcing it on a child. Pretty badass, tbh.

ech,

As I remember, the liquification was more so part of the curse than the trials. The immense pain and risk of death is true either way, though.

And I don’t see any conflict with Ciri here. That would be her continuing to fight to make her own life, no? The destiny she’s running from isn’t about her being a witcher. More so the opposite, as I understand it.

This YouTuber Is Actually Suing Minecraft & Mojang (youtu.be)

TLDR: Mojang is is breaking the law by changing EULA terms without informing anyone while claiming stuff that is written down on their end breaks the EULA without proof of the text that makes it banned, that making it a one sided contract. They also are allowing stuff on the market place which the EULA already bans.

ech,

Providing an actually useful summary instead of more click bait would be preferred.

ech,

Interesting. Thanks!

ech,

Appreciated.

I hate when a PC game is ONLY available on Epic Games store (lemmy.world) angielski

Nothing more disappointing to me than seeing a game I might enjoy… and then it’s only available on PC on Epic Games store. Why can’t it be available on Epic, Xbox game store and Steam? It’s so annoying, like you have no choice but to use Epic… which I would literally do ANYTHING not to use.

ech,

So they still got your money eventually. That’s a double win, in their eyes.

ech,

Yes, we should reward decisions we dislike. That’ll show 'em.

ech,

In what way does that matter outside of driving sales? Which people like op happily still gave them?

ech,

And? It’s still profit. If it weren’t, it wouldn’t be listed.

ech,

If that was actually a concern, why would companies do it at all?

ech,

In what way is it not? They get Epic’s money for exclusivity and know they’ll still get sales after it ends from people that “boycott” them for doing that.

Buying the game later doesn’t hurt them, it just reinforces the same behavior later.

ech,

I’m aware of what an actual boycott is.

ech,

Presumably they think the money they get from Epic is more than the money they’ll lose in sales

Congrats on getting the point.

ech,

Not my intention on your comment. More so commenting everyone else’s reaction to my comments pointing to the same thing.

ech,

You care about downvotes?

ech,

I’m not sure why you’re trying to convince me about it. I’m not the one deciding to sell out to Epic.

ech,

Unless they’re actively losing money in their deal, they’re not gonna care if the sale comes immediately or years later. If Epic exclusive + late “hold outs” = $$$, they’re just gonna do that until the equation changes.

ech,

Nobody ever hurt a company or made them reconsider their decisions by giving them money, no matter how little it was.

ech,

I believe that’s called “Pay to Win” in gamer culture.

ech,

Are there other versions of connect or strands? I don’t mind not playing those, but having alternatives would be nice.

ech,

Interesting. Thanks!

ech,

It’s not so much “built in” asit is just included by dev/pub request. Lots of games don’t: pcgamingwiki.com/…/The_big_list_of_DRM-free_games…

ech,

I have enough shit to go around.

ech,

Oh no! They don’t have an absolutely perfect track record?! 🙄

Get over yourself. Why even bother this attempt to spurn the studio? Just don’t by the games if you don’t like them.

ech,

I’m unclear what the gameplay will be like. The vibe feels like something between DRG and Outlast Trials?

ech,

Not much to go on, but glad to see something about it!

ech,

Elden Ring really got this right by playing the cool cut scene once and then every attempt after goes straight into the fight. Could’ve done with closer sites/shrines in a few of the fights, though

Starfield's first DLC is one of the worst Bethesda DLCs of all time angielski

Starfield steam page for the DLC currently shows eight user review score of 41%, making this one of the worst Bethesda DLC’s released of all time. This is so horribly, shockingly bad for Bethesda, because it shows as a gaming company, they are no longer capable of delivering a really good gaming experience as they had in the...

ech,

There are 2 important words there that you’re missing.

ech,

In short - a lot.

ech,

It’s funny when you die in the nether lava ocean and have to go on a sand excavation to get your stuff back.

ech,

Is there an eli5 on how “ai upscaling” is less (or even equally) technologically demanding than just putting in better hardware?

ech,

The game is rendered at a lower resolution, this saves a lot of resources.

Then dedicated AI cores or even special AI scaler chips get used to upscale the image back to the requested resolution.

I get that much. Or at least, I get that’s the intention.

This is a fixed cost and can be done with little power since the components are designed to do this task.

This us the part I struggle to believe/understand. I’m roughly aware of how resource intensive upscaling is on locally hosted models. The necessary tech/resources to do that to 4k+ in real time (120+ fps) seems at least equivalent, if not more expensive, to just rendering it that way in the first place. Are these “scaler chips” really that much more advanced/efficient?

Further questions aside, I appreciate the explanation. Thanks!

ech,

Huh, I wasn’t aware that 4090s use similar tech. That sheds light on a few things. Thanks!

ech,

That is interesting. Thanks for the extra info!

ech,

I dig it.

Devs should not be "forced to run on a treadmill until their mental or physical health breaks", says publisher of Manor Lords, citing how gamers seem to be trained to expect endless content work now (www.eurogamer.net) angielski

This really does not sound healthy. The game is released, for a certain amount of money. If people don’t like what they get for their money, they simply should not buy it....

ech,

The dev seems to have a good publisher that’s on their side, which is nice to see. I find it bizarre that this rebuttal comes in response to the CEO of Hinterland Studios, the devs of Long Dark, which was in early access itself for ages. Dunno if they think they’re above it all now, but you’d think they would at least be sympathetic of devs facing that kind of shit. Probably just CEO saying CEO shit. Hopefully the Manor Lords dev doesn’t let it get to them much, or at all.

ech,

Eh, EA can certainly be a problem, but it’s also an incredibly useful resource for devs operating in good faith, opening up the field for talent that would otherwise be priced out of making a game at all. Personally, I’m ok ignoring money grabs if it means the barrier of entry for resource starved talent is lowered.

ech, (edited )

Did you just step out of a time machine? Their sales haven’t had games for ages now. Last one was the monster game, iirc.*

*Oh, there was the Saliens in 2018, too, but that was like a one-off.

ech,

He even has the same amount of pixels.

ech,

Brace yourselves for Embracest, Extendest, Estinguishest.

ech,

Not only are the numbers weird, the games within the series (more than just the main 3) came out as exclusives to a wide variety of platforms. KH has such a bizarre history.

ech, (edited )

You’re still rewarding the Epic exclusivity by giving them your money now. They get the bonus cash from Epic and your purchase years later.

ech, (edited )

They don’t care. They already got what they wanted.

ech,

If I remember right, that game also had bugs with knocked out enemies that made it just about impossible to get the non-lethal achievement (bosses don’t count towards it, fwiw).

ech,

I know. That bit was for those unfamiliar with game and its achievements.

ech,

That’s the classic Bethesda experience.

ech,

From my comment on one of the other threads:

Here, I’ll translate - “We need an undervalued and underpaid studio that we own to pop out a viral sensation we can exploit the shit out of, who we will then treat exactly the same. Repeat ad nauseam”
