Interesting thanks for the info, it looks pretty intense/fast paced for what I’m into right now, but I may give it a try in the future.

People are coping so hard with starfield. There have been several major red flags already and I have really low expectations. I’m going to wait a week for reviews and real gameplay, and then make a decision.

Actual quotes from Shuji Utsumi: “The action in play-to-earn games is boring,” Utsumi told Bloomberg News. “What’s the point if games are no fun?” “We’re looking into whether this technology is really going to take off in this industry, after all,” he added.

To add from the article: “Sega does plan to let external partners use its lesser-known Three Kingdoms and Virtua Fighter characters for non-fungible tokens, a sort of certificate that confirms ownership of a digital asset.”

“Sega will still offer its lesser franchises to several blockchain games to be announced later this year, and will continue to invest in related projects — to the tune of hundreds of millions of yen in each case, Utsumi said. The technology remains useful, for instance by making it possible to move characters and items between different games, he said. Longer-term, Sega remains open to getting more involved as the technology matures.”

I guess no one reads articles and just wants to bash new technology, makes sense. Next time use a non-editorialized title and use actual quotes.

This has been a trend for a lot of tech related things in this economy. Higher prices, less features, worse user experience.

CS:GO ban wave results in over $2 million worth of skins and other items becoming being lost more rare. 😀 👍

It’s great to see the Steam Deck actively improving handheld gaming.

“art assets generated by artificial intelligence that appears to be relying on copyrighted material owned by third parties.”

It makes absolutely no difference how the copyrighted material came to be, if you generate a shitty image of a copyrighted character to put in your game it doesn’t matter if it was generated or hand drawn it’s still copyrighted. People just like focusing on AI generated images because it gets more attention for clickbait headlines.

Gaben will provide, have faith.

They can fix the relationship with their players by releasing a great free overhaul update like they say they will alongside the huge expansion DLC. I hope it’s good, I’m definitely going to be doing another playthrough once it’s live.

India has been heading in the wrong direction, potentially such a powerful country being limited in their feedoms by their own government.

lol this image

All those gambling addict’s losses going straight into the multi-millionaire’s pocket, fuck yea I love capitalism, let’s race to the end faster with AI late stage buddies.

You love to see it. I just played, absolutely no performance issues. I hope to see some patches soon though for some slight annoyances like the “beta build” text on screen constantly even though it’s barely visible.

Definitely a bit hyped about it, but I’m going to wait a bit to watch some gameplay and see what the reviews say.

This article has a graph of GPU total power (Watts) https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gpu-hierarchy,4388.html

I would be interesting to see a ratio of Frames/Watts for power efficiency.

Just because something they reference is out of date, does not mean the article is less relevant.

Yes it does.

lol giving blizzard money

I gave GTA Online another try a couple months ago for the Drug Wars update. The loading times and unskippable cutscenes just made it impossible to enjoy. I even had it on a solid state and the load times were unbearable.
