dog,

Does he stand on two legs from time to time? He may in fact not be a dog, but a duck.

Original Fallout lead Tim Cain loves the new show, but remains baffled by how 'destructive' fans can act toward 'people who are trying to create things' (www.pcgamer.com)

Cain appreciated the performances and storytelling, but singled out how the show nailed the Fallout “vibe” as its biggest achievement. “I was just looking at all the props,” he said of one scene. “I realized after a few minutes went by that I had not followed the dialogue at all, because I was so engrossed by it...

dog,

Yeah I’m not feeling great about the show. Sure it’s pretty, but it’s so slow.

Maybe that’s a deliberate choice, but as the first episode is, I give it a 7/10.

Not great, not good, but okay.

dog,

You do realize with more donations they can AFFORD to hire more people, and to get the help they need? Money is the solution. Let’s not downplay the value of it.

dog,

Spot the Weird Al Yankovic.

What are some hidden indie gems nobody knows about?

Which indies did you discover and would love more people to know about? I’ll start: The Pale Beyond. Not sure if it’s a hidden gem tbh, but it’s such a good story rich game. I laughed, I cried and felt the characters struggles. If you like story rich games/ choices matter, check it out.

dog,

I’ll add Noita to the list of hidden gems. And Baba Is You.

dog,

I’m a dog, and I tell you; imaginary dogs count.

Live Service != Multiplayer.

Firefox with arkenfox.js: Are these extensions still useful?

After a long while, I checked back on the arkenfox.js github page, and they no longer mention two extensions I still use: (1) CanvasBlocker (because if Resist Fingerprinting is enabled in about:config, the per page zoom levels get changed and that drives me crazy), and (2) Smart Referer (because, well, it was recommended). I...

dog,

Personally I suggest you straight up install Librewolf instead.

That said, most extensions aside from ublock are pointless these days.

YouTube screwing itself with adblockers again

I use Firefox and uBlock Origin. Not sure what kind of experience anyone else is having with YouTube, but recently my home page has been empty because I “don’t have watch history turned on”. Okay, fine. I won’t be able to browse suggested videos, and I’ll spend less time on their platform....

dog,

Give piped.video a try. Basically a youtube frontend that isn’t ass.

dog,

Interestingly, if they use UE5/6, a LOT of the growing pains of Cyberpunk 2077 are immediately solved.

They wanted long-distance, high-detail scenes, but that led to the game running like shit.

UE5+ is excellent for that. It allows for more detail than any other engine.

Essentially they can now actually focus on producing a GAME, rather than a next-gen engine + a game, as was the case with Cyberpunk 2077.

So I give them the benefit of the doubt here.

Witcher is also a world they’re highly experienced in, so they don’t really need so much worldbuilding work either.

dog,

Now if only CDPR would eliminate their crunch work environment, and release games when the DEVS say it’s ready.

If you can’t afford advertising the game prior to launch, just don’t. That’s where for example Bethesda saved a ton of money. Released “complete” games within 1-3 months of the first announcement. (Do mind I’ve lost all hope in Bethesda)

In other hand, over-promising in terms of what’s actually currently out is fine. The issue is when you …

  1. Don’t have the devtime. (Board releasing the game way before it’s ready, because marketing is so damn expensive, and the stockholders want it now not later)
  2. Don’t have the skill. (Which means re-training all your employees constantly)
  3. Don’t have the work morale. (Which leads to talent bleed, further exaggerating point 2.)
dog,

I don’t honestly get the downvotes, this is a valid point of view.

It’s not one I agree with, but I do agree Elden Ring was rushed with too much content planned.

This may however help with that.

I really hope the DLC expands and fixes core game issues, instead of thinking it has to add even more bloated areas to the game.

Like new areas are good, but don’t make them just to have more areas (I’m looking at you, swamp and dungeons).

dog,

Protip: “It gets better later” isn’t a good way to promote a game.

It has to be good from the start.

If it isn’t and it can’t hook a player, you’ve just lost a customer, who likely just refunded the game as well.

Now personally: I like terraria from start to end. It got a bit boring in the middle. I used to not be able to play it at all because /something/ about the game really triggered my migraines. It doesn’t anymore, and I can play it.

dog,

Oh nooo! Anyway, make the best game you can.

AAA studios, you can stop crying, you’re like a master car mechanic crying because you can’t bolt down a single goddamn nut with pre-existing tooling.

dog,

Aka the spoiled brats.

dog,

Ain't as simple as "just disable them". G2A acquires keys through buy-one-get-two deals, using stolen credit cards, money laundering, stolen keys (mass mailing the devs for "preview" keys, which they then flip on G2A) etc.

So there's no way to know the origin of keys in G2A. By the time you know it's stolen keys, they've been sold out, and G2A has a notorious history of not giving a fuck about the situation.

You could just arbitrarily disable all keys, but you'd affect >90% legitimate customers.

Famous Minecraft YouTuber Mumbo Jumbo plays FOSS Minecraft-like; Actually super enjoys it. (youtu.be)

And today in “The Dimmest Silhouette of a Potentially Less Poop Future”, Mumbo Jumbo, the famous Minecraft redstone creator/general famous Minecraft-player on YouTube released this week what was initially meant to be a video of him just goofing around in “Minetest” a Lua-based, open-source Minecraft-like game that was...

dog,

I know I'm not the target aydience, but deer god I can't stand minecraft channels. Absolutely obnoxious camera spanning, 95% of the video is zoomed in a minecraft characters face, obnoxious speech.

That said, I welcome new alternatives.

dog,

Not currently watching any, but they do come useful whenever I get the mood to play Minecraft. It's not too often anymore, might start a fresh new world next big patch though, albeit there were already quite a few big patches recently. Will check out the others though.
