Blackmist,

Yeah, that’s what the rest of the west want, but Ukraine just want to punch Russia in the face and send them packing. They don’t have the people or morale for a full-on meat grinder war over the next decade.

Blackmist,

So playable frame rate was the main corner cut.

Blackmist,

The yutes have no idea what we used to have to put up with in the 80s. We had TV adverts for new shaped lollipops.

Blackmist,

Or for an innocent verdict. Or just because it’s Monday.

Blackmist,

Poverty is indeed the root cause of many societal issues, but it still boggles the mind that the answer to “income inequality” is “vote for the billionaire”.

Blackmist,

I find it’s best to start with a small starter cock, such as the Little Richard.

Blackmist,

Have you tried spending less on making them?

Blackmist,

“Ugh, you mean we both have to stop firing? No deal.”

Blackmist,

Pretty much par for the course with Sony exclusives tbh.

Blackmist,

Running things like Days Gone at 60 FPS was a good enough reason for me.

Blackmist,

I don’t think the Fred Flintstone outfit is helping either.

Blackmist,

Looking like that, she could be the source of my bruises any day.

Blackmist,

And are we talking about the liberals the conservatives hate or the liberals the tankies hate?

Blackmist,

I guess World of Walkcraft was too close to a takedown.

I’ll keep an eye on this one because I do like my long middle aged man walks, and don’t care for the constant fiddling needed for the likes of Pokémon Go, which seemed to reward laps of crowded spaces over meandering walks down rivers.

Blackmist,

A Trump voter quote that always live rent free in my head is “He’s not hurting the people he needs to be hurting”.

It tells you everything they need to know about them. They have a shit life, and they want to make damn sure everyone else has a shit life too.

Blackmist,

Everyone stopped masking post 2016.

Figuratively and literally.

Blackmist,

Just another $100 million bro. I swear, just another $200 million. Another $300 million and we can finish this!

Blackmist,

Oh don’t worry, I’ll pour the exact same scorn on people who pour money into EA’s yearly sports games, Activision’s yearly shooting games, every fucking mobile game ever, and all the nicotine stained gamblers propping up their local bookies.

But lets not pretend it’s “supporting a project” or fundraising in any way, shape or form. It’s throwing money at greedy cunts because they have an addiction problem.

And while gambling becomes ever more heavily regulated, gaming seems to avoid it. It won’t manage it forever, and $1000 pretend spaceships are pushing boundaries that will bring regulations down on the whole industry.

The Indie Chat & Recommendation Thread (cdn.imgchest.com)

“Inspired” by the Square-Enix putting their foot in their mouth thread, I thought it’d be interesting to make a little thread about indie games. People always talk about wanting to try different, cheaper titles, but with how hard it is to get good gaming news and the state of advertisement/marketing, word of mouth tends to...

Blackmist,

Animal Well

Reminds me of old Spectrum platform games, like Jet Set Willy or Dynamite Dan. Only with better controls.

Sort of Metroidvania. Not overly difficult for the most part, although some bits took me a fair few attempts. Lots of secrets and hidden areas.

Made by a single developer, Billy Basso, who sounds like a comic book character, but a British one who says things like “cor, eh readers?”

Blackmist,

Turkey is in the EU?

Blackmist,

Another Russian proxy.

Blackmist,

Remember when they did climb and republicans stuck little “I did that” stickers on the pumps?

Should be taxing the shit out of it anyway to snap the US from it’s petrol addiction.

I need some help choosing a monitor.

Simply put I have built a gaming tower that I have no monitor that will connect with the machine only having a BIOS and no OS. As I understand it, I need something that will connect with an HDMI cable, but that seems to be either a traditional monitor or a tablet. I’m completely unsure which would be more stable, and therefore...

Blackmist,

There’s a 6700 XT on there (now at least), although it’s got no picture or price listed.

Blackmist,

Why the fuck would you use a tablet as a monitor?

Just get a nice 1440p screen sporting variable refresh rates.

Something like this www.dell.com/…/monitors-monitor-accessories

Blackmist,

Use Sunshine/Moonlight and play it remotely if you’re in another room.

Blackmist,

Lucky to get three in a decade now.

Blackmist,

I can wait.

Blackmist,

They’re no The Prodigy.

Blackmist,

Pear stealing whores.

Ireland, Spain and Norway to recognise Palestinian state (www.theguardian.com)

Ireland, Spain and Norway have announced they will formally recognise a Palestinian state on 28 May, triggering an immediate response from Israel, which said it would retaliate by recalling its ambassadors from Dublin, Madrid and Oslo, and withholding vital funds from the Palestinian Authority....

Blackmist,

Vacated embassies? Sounds like the new Palestinian state has embassies now.

Putin has ‘both eyes’ on Gotland, warns Sweden’s army chief (www.politico.eu)

After being demilitarized in 2005, Sweden re-introduced permanent troops to Gotland in 2016, following Russia’s annexation of Ukraine’s Crimean Peninsula in 2014. Sweden also became NATO’s newest member in March — meaning it is covered by the alliance’s Article 5 guarantee that all other members come to each other’s...

Blackmist,

We all saw how well Ukraine’s limited military operation went.

Russia trying to lose all their boats and subs as well as all their old tanks?

Blackmist,

It’s about a third of the price.

Blackmist, (edited )

The most expensive PSN option was £83.99 a year last time I got it, for the full Game Pass type deal. I’ve bought a grand total of two games since I got my PS5 a few years ago (Baldur’s Gate 3 and Talos Principle 2, and neither are even available as a physical disc making my disc drive in the console pretty pointless), and I play the damn thing just about every day.

It’s completely optional in any case, I very rarely even play multiplayer games. The price you’re hoping to beat is £389.

I can get an equivalent GPU (3060 12GB is about as close as you can get if you want to avoid lack of VRAM stutter) for about £270, which isn’t leaving a lot for the rest of the PC. There may well be regions where the PS5 is more expensive than a PC, but the UK ain’t one of them.

There are many strengths of PC gaming, like being able to buy extra hardware, modding, many digital stores, piracy, etc, but competing with consoles in the budget space is not where they shine.

Blackmist,

I suspect the viability of PC gaming is very regional.

A 3060 Ti costs £384 ($490) in the UK. That’s almost exactly the price of a PS5, and the reason I’m still using a 1060 6GB for my PC.

Blackmist,

We don’t talk about Windows ME.

Blackmist,

Conservative cognitive dissonance is wild.

Hates Jews. Defends Israel to the death.

You have to wonder if they even know that Israel is full of Jews…

Blackmist,

I saw a post the other day half-joking that they were making the next Jurassic Park movie woke by having trans dinosaurs.

Pretty sure somebody wasn’t paying attention during the original…

Blackmist,

Yes, I wonder why they could have compared you to mass murderers".

In a bitter personal attack, Mr Netanyahu said Karim Khan, the chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC) was one of the “great antisemites in modern times.”

I’ve checked the ICC most wanted list. It’s here: www.icc-cpi.int/defendants

It’s almost all African warlords. Not a big Jewish demographic, if I’m honest. If the leader of Israel can describe the ICC as antisemites, the word literally has no meaning any more.

Blackmist,

Man, you’re lucky. I wasn’t paying attention the other day, and accidentally wiped out a family of 30. It’s just so easily done.

Blackmist,

The term “Palestinian child” is now an anti-semitic slur. Can you please use the term “small Hamas” in future?

Blackmist,

That’s where you’re wrong. He’s a gynecologist.

Blackmist,

Clearly from an English textbook. Tis a common name around our way. Just doing a bit of skateboarding before receiving a hamper from a rich land-owning uncle, before setting off to colonise a small country and borrowing some sacred artefacts for a few hundred years.

Blackmist,

Most games don’t use Dolby anyway. It’s PCM (although the console can often convert to DTS or Dolby Digital if you have a crappy old sound system).

Dolby Surround was only needed for mixing the surround channels into stereo output.

Blackmist,

I actually quite liked the Link’s Awakening look.

Blackmist,

It’ll be Chris Pratt. He’s so cool.

Blackmist,

We seem to be in some weird topsy-turvy world right now, where videogame movies/shows are suddenly watchable.

It’s almost as if the first generation that grew up with them are now of filmmaking age, and replacing the ones that just just saw a bandwagon full of money.
