Wait, you are playing 5 and not 6?

yea im sticking with 5 cuz, 6 to me doesnt offer enough to warrant another full price sale of a game, for basically a reskinned new map
thats not to say 6 is bad

Apparently in 6 you don't just get a house, you get an estate that you can then decorate or make tracks on
And you can customize your garage as well
inland oasis
that actually sounds pretty nice
idle saffron
Those can be shared also, so someone could use your layout for the estate or garage
Which also means I can be lazy and just find a nice one

Is it a game or irl?
mellow dune
Umamusume is a game thats entire image is based on Anthropomized Racehorses
and sometimes their jockeys too
some character designs reference what their Jockeys wore
Garnered a lot of attention and has actually somewhat revived the horse racing scene in both Japan and the U.S
In fact in one of the most recent races in the U.S there was actually a few Umamusume cosplayers performing "UMA in America."

Also their next update has changes that mainly benefit streamers. 😄
Oh, and the upcoming wipe that resets everyone's hard-earned stuff...

The wipe is expected, it's an extraction shooter

So even Arc Raiders has done it?
mental rose
Ok, well. I guess it's the standard across extraction shooters
tranquil glen
it depends on the game, if its a low amount of fixed content until major update drops then yea it would need to get full wipes
the closest game arc is to is tarkov which get smore frequent wipes

Yea getting upset about wipes I never understood.
I’ll ALWAYS love that feeling of everyone freshly being on the same playing field again. No advantages except skill.
Losing your shit sucks sure but…it was never real. lol

It's still in early access and the developers have already sold it down the river for Ark 2

You know what pisses me off.

Totally understandable. It's really hard to get into it for a lot of players without friends introducing you to a lot of aspects of the game that can feel disorienting or overwhelming. It's evolved so much over time.

I'm not a fan of snail games, but Ark is in a unique position when it comes to a survival game with prehistoric creatures
I have many gripes with Ark and the studio / publisher, when it comes to the game itself, it has an insane game size and horrible optimization

Ive wanted to try playing ark again for a while, but I havent due to the game size

It's quite a common thing
Most creatures have their own speciality
Their profession varies
Thera is (or at least was) not only good for collecting berries
But it could also be very deadly towards enemies
They are very strong
Their claws prove it enough

Yeah, though I was thinking in terms of larger-scale wars that probably occurred outside preplanned events. I think even now its somewhat common to use whatever the "best" is at the time

Ignoring meta and just experimenting with build craft personally is incredibly satisfying.
The mobility is unmatched, and the variety of content is ADD crack.
And community engagement is a high priority for the devs, which is huge

Yes, but they’re still employed by IGN despite their exceptionally poor performance

IGN isn't the best when it comes to some of their doings, but it's not like reviewers are being forced to give a positive or negative score

Since a lot of people think they get paid to give positive / negative reviews

I’m not that paranoid about them, I just think most of those journalists have two braincells competing for third place

They release an AC game at least every year

Kiss From a Rose being used in the trailer, the story being a mix of every non-Snyder movie and a bunch of comics (you can get the Batman vs Superman Batmobile, but that's it 😆), the billion references to all the famous actors in Batman movies, the Kevin Conroy billboard you can find, the Arkham gameplay and stealth...it's

Better than arkham dark knight?

Arkham Knight? It's got a lighter tone (obviously) and easier gameplay but I'd put it at least on par with Arkham Knight. It's a massive love letter to Batman in general, you can tell the devs had a ton of fun making it 😆

There's 100 suits to unlock between Batman and the 7 other playable characters and 20 vehicles to unlock for all of them, so you can mix and match stuff between Batman eras for shits and giggles. Here's me wearing the Absolute Batman suit while driving the 1989 Batmobile 😆

It was like..."You're fuckin annoying, kid. You're annoying, kid. Holy shit you're annoying....omfg those are your mom's shoes...That was a staging shot when she was dancing, setting me up for this moment..."
A weird fucked up movie that approaches the horror of war from the perspective of a child, trying to find redemption in an uncertain future.
Not a great movie. Not a bad movie. A whole ass roller coaster.
Recommended for anyone that wants something that skirts the horror but never quite touches it and yet still manages to make you feel like there's depth to the nightmare with uncertain heroes.

for me seeing 60$ is still the norm, but the 70$ is nowadays becoming the norm. and sure a 10$ increase sucks, if i was already blowing 60, then 70 for me personally just doesnt rly matter. if we were speaking about a jump say like from what it is now, to a STANDARD of say 100$, then yea, id have to consider very seriously which games id actually buy rather than being able to enjoy multiple games
im also the type to typically buy the ulitmate or special editions when i can so i go into it expecting to have to pay more.

dry copper
Its a miracle games havent tripled in price bc of inflation
Elaborate
In what way does inflation impact the price of a video game's development?
mystic turtle
Everything price up
Game price same
Why use many word when few word do trick
dry copper
There are three problems with that theory.
One: Everything price not go up. Inflation isn't a rising tide. It only appears that way because of retailers redistributing the load to lower the overall impact of an increase in specific costs of goods. You can circumvent the impact of inflation by ordering local, for example.
Two: Inflation has not risen 300%. From 2000-2026, it has risen 93% over 26 years in the US and 73% in Canada.
Three: Video game prices have risen in that same time window from $50 standard to now entering $80. That's an increase of 60%.
In 1980, video games were $30. Adjusted for inflation back then, that's $75 today.
That's fucked up. Sounds insane. $30 just 40 years ago had the same buying power then that $75 does today
fallen notch
I'd say lower may be appropriate too, as physical media is a thing of tha past really

Video games should be cheaper today by far.

Yes sir I've been playing early access since the second place was even unavailable and he walked up the houses and it said please wait till missions are complete 🤣 One of my favorite modern Oblivion clones
Probably my 4th or 5th go through but they added a bunch of stuff so I just went through the expansion pack for the first time and a few other missions on the way and I'm still rolling through about the reach zone three around level 50ish
This round cuz I always go bow and arrow and summoning I went dual-wielding and summoning and man this is awesome My second run I kept turning everybody into cheese 😭 and it's so fun

I didn't really get past the second location, the one with Menhir. My run kind of dissolved as I was busy with something else, but I definitely plan to get back to it. Until then, it occupies a spot on my backlog.

Yeah that one can be a little confusing and you may have to use YouTube for a few locations but it's well worth the time You mostly have to do pretty much just go around and do the secondary missions and you'll run into it You just got to be type of person that explores every nook and cranny for this game which I am so I love it lol

@barren sparrow What can you tell me about Trazyn? I get that he's a troll and usually well liked in the 40k community. 🙂
(I hope I didn't already ask this in the past...)
Treating Chaos Terminators, like they're just animals in an exhibit is just badass
barren sparrow
<@480132493165461505> What can you tell me about Trazyn? I get that he's a troll...
One of the biggest enemies of a Necron is boredom. They are not only immortal, but they also don't have souls. In the 40k universe, a soul is a tangible thing that is largely responsible for things like passion and other emotions.
Necrons don't have them, and if they don't find something to focus on, they might go insane. Some plan schemes that take millennia to unfold; some get stuck bickering with each other over and over; they seek obsessions.
Trazyn's obsession is basically hoarding, but he hoards things with some meaning, things that are interesting to him. He is also very eccentric and isn't above nudging certain events to make things or people he will take back with him to his archive more interesting. Imagine an Astra Militarum last stand turning into a pyrrhic victory, seemingly thanks to a certain commander who is presumed killed in action, but in reality, Trazyn helped them out so he could take home a victorious commander.
Trazyn is the type of person to say that he doesn't fight; he points at people and they die, and then points a finger and fires a weapon hidden in a ring or even in his very finger.
mental rose
Does he honor deals?
Or is he the kind to backstab?
No, wait... I think there was a moment where Trazyn was willing to risk himself when Cadia still stood.
Hrhm...
barren sparrow
Does he honor deals?
Or is he the kind to backstab?
Trazyn likes drama; I could see him doing both.
On Cadia, Trazyn wanted to take Belisarius Cawl, but Cawl convinced him to let him go because Cawl would achieve great things, and that would make him a more valuable specimen to collect later.
While Trazyn released some exhibits from his collection on Cadia, he also took things back with him, like the last Lord Castellan of Cadia, Ursarkar E. Creed.
Above all else, Trazyn values drama. If doing something will spice things up a bit without compromising the authenticity of potential exhibits for his collection too much, he will do it.
mental rose
Hmmm
barren sparrow
I wouldn't trust Trazyn, but he is more likely to honour a deal then not since breaking an agreement would be boring
mental rose
Interesting. I wouldn't be surprised if it was similar to how Iconoclast could understand everything the Harlequin character said.
"...Bravo,"

so make sure the terms are always at least not absolutely horrible on your end

To make sure the terms arent horrible is to make sure there is an end to the agreement

Difference is you remain alive
Either way, you basically sold your soul
Wait, has there ever been a story involving what is literally a pyramid scheme of immortality?

32gb ram for a Lego game. 😄
Even 16 gb of ram is kinda high for a lego game
The whole game is only 50gb
Consider how much of it's running in active memory compared to how much there is total

i was talking about that insane official recommended specs picture
Yes, which ended up being bullshit and not at all close to the actual performance
dry copper
Imagine if an entire game ran in active memory

well i didnt know that. I thought this picture actually showed how the performance is
mental rose
And then you see people post their specs with reviews some have like 96gb RAM or even more,
And I'm like... why?
dry copper
More like...how
gloomy chasm
yeah how
dry copper
Windows can not run 96gb of ram
gloomy chasm
yup and nobody normal can get 96gb in this economy
dry copper
I'm lying...Apparently windows 11 runs more than 10 ever hoped to
mental rose
I just picked one from a review from the Lego Batman game.
There are few with 63gb... somehow.
Or 31gb.
dry copper
Requirements include: Xeon Scalable or AMD Epyc Processor with an enterprise motherboard that has 16-32 DDR5 DIMM slots and LRDIMM or 3DS RDIMM server sticks with upto 16X256GB or 12X512GB server sticks.
You can get 4X256gb for as little as $11k
Then run minecraft

Lego Batman has an Overwhelming Positive rating on Steam, I'd say it's fine 😆
dry copper
I do not envy the poor sob that ever needs to manage server level architexture this expensive
"Oops I fucked up and blew out a $10k piece of equipment"
mental rose
How can you even destroy RAM?
mental rose
So either electrical issues, or spilled liquid says my common sense
RAM doesn't produce heat... or does it?
dry copper
People often custom set up their ram in bios to optimize it
mental rose
Oh speaking of.
When I got my new 32gb sticks, I manually set it to 6600hz because my PC should be able to handle it in theory.
But it made my games unstable, so I set it back to auto, BIOS defaulted it to 3200hz and problems disappeared.
Weird but, I'm not complaining

it will have a screen that says "Act 2"

why would the switch 2 get full keyboard support?
So that theres less latency
obtuse reef
Okay, but have you considered that that is a really really niche demand?

I don't think too many people are using keyboards with it

Wdym switch 2 isnt intended to use M&KB? Thats like saying a laptop isnt intended to use a controller
obtuse reef
a laptop is a lot more of an open platform than the switch 2
jade comet
Switch 2 has full system level support for M&KB and multiple games already utilize it, so saying that the console is not intended to use it is pretty weird

So far Strauss has said there has been 0 usage of Gen AI in GTA6 development. No way to confirm whether he's being honest or not though.

is Strauss the CEO? I wouldnt trust him at all

Yes, he's the CEO of Take Two Interactive
Normally, your regular executive will praise usage of gen AI
To lure in investors who don't even play games

Obviously, but Rockstar is owned by Take Two
