Watch their announcement video on youtube, it screams VC funding scam. The whole announcement is basically just the CEO sitting on a couch and making outrageous claims, while all the supporting data and graphs carry the disclaimer “pre-silicon simulated benchmarks”. They say they’re going to have a live demo this month and in the following months, but they don’t even have real silicon, while also claiming they’re going to be shipping cards by Q4 2026.

Vermintide 2 is heavily discounted now on steam, 80% off. Plus a 56% off on a bundle with all dlcs.

Oh, yeah. I think we are both complaining about the same thing. I remember a lot of dialogue on previous Monster Hunter vanes, but it was usually only on some rare occasions. This one feels too story heavy, and I agree, if I want to watch a movie or read a book, that’s what I’ll be doing. I want my games to let me game.

For that alone is already worth it

I’d say the opposite. They have streamlined the experience too much where it mattered. No longer do you need to track monsters and paintball them, no more farming for resources in preparation for a hunt, early monsters are all a joke that pose no real challenge, and in the new one you don’t even have to explore the map, as your mount is an auto-pathing machine that can take to your next hunt or quest automatically.

Probably the first game to spawn a genre of its own, which still exists to this day and is still referenced with the original moniker, in a world where most gamers don’t even know what was “Rogue”, but they certainly know what a Roguelike or Roguelite is. Very feel games in history have been so massively impactful to give birth to new genres. Doom also did it for some time, there were doomlikes going around, until the lingo shifted to just calling them FPS.

Chrono Trigger predates FF7 by two whole years, and is, objectively, one of the best Video Game RPGs of all times, while also being a JRPG in itself.

Around my region, South America, everybody used MSN as well. We went through a phase of using Skype, but it was too resource heavy in comparison with MSN. Later on, people who needed voice chat for games played around with several different apps, until we finally settled with Discord back in 2016. Say all you want about Discord, but I’ve been using it for almost a decade at this point, and if your need is to have voice and text chat and easy screen sharing for gaming, it’s basically the golden standard. The problem started when people started using it as a replacement for forums.

A bit of a different suggestion, but I highly recommend Unsheathed (Sword of Coming), a chinese fantasy novel of the xianxia genre (same as Journey to the West). It’s simply incredible and beautifully written. You can read the first 50 chapters for free at Wuxia World (website/app). You can also find some epub compilations of the first few volumes around the internet if you know where to look for.

Your monitor is “smart”?

Played hundreds of hours of Generals and Zero Hour, I tried playing it again a year ago but it wasn’t working well in windows 11. Making it open source might bring this great game back.

“I will work!”

“brain dead easy thing”… All you need is to just manage signal integrity of super fast speed ram to a super hungry state of the art soc that benefits from as fast of memory as it can get. Sounds easy af. /s

They said that it was possible, but they lost over half of the speed doing it, so it was not worth it. It would severely cripple performance of the SOC.

The only real complaint here is calling this a desktop, it’s somewhere in between a NUC and a real desktop. But I guess it technically sits on a desk top, while also being an itx motherboard.

At least a dozen games, I hope. It has become tradition for me to delve deep into next fest demos and try at least 20 or so games from my favorite genres. The last few times I discovered some of my favorite games of recent years. The ones I’m sure so far are only Breathedge 2 and Solar Punk.

It’s not a sale. It’s an event with demos for upcoming games, usually full of hidden gems. If you’re an indie dev, you have to get a demo out in time for one of these (they happen 3 times a year, I think), they are a huge boost in visibility.

Can also confirm that I can play pretty much any game I want with my 6750 XT, including new releases with baked in RT like Indiana Jones, with no problem at all. The thing just runs everything I throw at it, no fire, no physx problem.

Recent reviews are only at 66%. I’d be cautious for a while, as they just released 1.0 a while ago, and the game wasn’t on Early Access for a considerable time.

I like the idea, and the visuals, but old school jrpg turn-based battles are not for me anymore (honestly, I don’t think I ever liked them). I’d be all over this game if the combat was tactics instead.

I played the whole game a few days after the release. I like Johnny, and the other characters, but boy isn’t that game shallow. The only reason I finished the game is because I really enjoyed the dialogues and VA, and that it was a game that didn’t overstay its welcome. I think I finished the main story at max level and it took me less than 30h. But I couldn’t be bothered with most side quests or exploring the world, as it just fell hollow, a pretty shell.

My biggest gripes with the game:

• I felt that the starting portion of the game was majorly wasted. You pick a background, but it takes 1 hour to go over it and it doesn’t matter at all for the whole rest of the game, basically. Also, they want you to empathize with your pal at the beginning but you have 10 minutes to get to know him before being thrust into a suicide mission where he dies and you get stuck with a dead lunatic in your head.
• The skill system was as shallow and uninteresting and unimaginative as it could have been. A lot of perks were like “you get +1,6% to X”. It was so boring… I heard they improved this, I haven’t checked it yet, but my hopes are definitely not up.
• The only decision you have to make in the game that can actually change the ending is literally at the end of the game, and the game even tells you it’s time to make said decision, and it auto-saves for you. Talk about hand-holding and being afraid of letting the player make real choices. For a supposed RPG, that was a massive letdown.
• No single side-quest in the game (at least the more important/interesting ones) have more than binary conclusions. Either succeed or fail, that’s it. And they can’t even be done in different ways, you have only a single way to complete them.
• Modding yourself was also super shallow, and mostly unnecessary. You could just boost hacking and memory capacity and it was absolutely broken. The game itself was super easy and not at all challenging, again afraid of causing friction with the player.

I have the news in Brazilian-portuguese if you want.

Tl;Dr: repeat of what happened to Twitter basically, Moraes issued the takedown of a right wing/conservative brazilian influencer on Rumble on the basis of spreading misinformation and fake news (no surprise there), but Rumble has no legal representation in Brazil, which makes the company illegal to operate here. He ordered that they appoint someone as legal representation for the company in 48 hours, that was Thursday, feb 20, and they didn’t comply. Rumble was fined and Moraes ordered the platform to be thoroughly and completely blocked in Brazil until they pay their fines and appoint someone as legal representation.
