Outcast - A New Beginning
The keybinds are a bit weird and you don't really have a targetting system as far as I can tell. The scanner is okay. It plays a bit like the old Mass Effect.
This game reminds me of Anthem. It looks okay, but everything feels... monotonous. Maybe it's just the demo, maybe it's because they've divided the combat, exploration, and another feature into three separate, distinct scenarios for the demo. Regardless, it feels a bit bland.
slim atlas

They only call games "Live services" when the game doesn't really have any cool features that speak for themself or are able to stand on their own.
For example, Microsoft Flight Simulator, which streams high quality scenery from the cloud, is literally, objectively the most "Live Service" game that there is. But they never described it as a "Live service" game, not once, anywhere. It's because they didn't need to. People could look at the cool scenery and that spoke for itself.

A game with "micro" transactions but isn't pay to win, means that they literally put time and effort into making the experience some amount worse unless you are spending more money, and that is simply not in line with my requirements for games.
Sorry, I am moving forward with games that better suite my needs at this time.
People also don't realize how rigged these games are.

Halo Infinite is one of these, though it's F2P, but the prices in their store are insane

the game has 100s of maps but like 15 weapons max
I don't know why it is the way it is
brittle dove
The most popular trick is just for games to put you into games with really low skill players right after you make a "cosmetic" purchase, so you start kicking ass right after making a cosmetic purchase, which of course feels good and you will probably associate it with the purchase.
But if you go and check weapon time to kill in a private game, or otherwise, it will of course check out, not pay to win.
This effect is "worn off" quickly though of course.

I can't believe that fucking Valve and Bethesda were the ones who popularized this shit.

It was always going to be someone. Right now I'm basically just waiting for GTA VI, playing niche simulator games and hoping that the "AAA" industry continues crashing and burning.
It needs a good 1980s style crash. Except indie developers and small businesses have access to good tools, so games will still be made, unlike the 80s when it basically just stopped because people weren't making console games anymore.

I'm sticking with singleplayer games, Halo Infinite and Battlefield 2042 for as long as I can lmao
Also hoping that Starfield goes on a redemption arc
brittle dove
I think bethesda is basically just done making good games.
something has to be deeply, fundamentally wrong for them to say that starfield was a next generation experience.
something that doesn't just go away with the next game.
haven't played it though, not really my genera.
People need to start playing hardball with game ratings, We need to rate games, not just based on how long we ended up playing, or how much we liked what was there, but how close it is to what the developers promised.
For example when cyberpunk launched, the main storyline was great, but so much of the "living breathing city" was just not there, and I was more than 2 hours in before I realized that I had been scammed with a product of lesser quality than advertised (Also known as a "bait and switch" scam)
So even though I loved the main story line, Their max rating they could get from me was 3/10 that was the ceiling for them. After the bugs, that brought it down to 2.5/10
Thats playing hardball.
oh, and I collected on the debt they owed me from the original bait and switch scam. I got my full 60$ of game in the end when they released their DLC.

Fallout 4 is a very special game to me, I was expecting SF to be similar to that

it flies because it's about killing aliens

<@261183265438695424> says no though
here are my thoughts I posted in the mod channel 😅
I think it's human
AI generally will avoid saying "Using this tutorial"
It will more often than not say
"I am using this tutorial" or something similar
Also the next word after "..." Is not uppercase
With something like chatgpt it would be uppercase
There is a double space "spawn location and"
The first one might be a mix of both, the first sentence is human written but the bullet points look fishy
another whitespace for no reason, chatgpt won't do that
broken sigil
another whitespace for no reason, chatgpt won't do that
so that one is 100% human, the other one is a mix possibly

lol yeah, people are absolutely kidding themselves if they think AI is going to be effectively regulated in any sense.
We literally have boomers writing laws where using email is a big ask of them. Corporations will have absolutely no trouble lying, obfuscating and hiding their use of AI to get around whatever silly laws are made.
tbh, It's a "if you can't beat them, join them" situation IMO.

As Lu Bu, yes. His entire archetype is one-man army. He can murder everything, execute everyone, and spit on any empire trying to make peace with you. I even captured the young Emperor of China, killed his regent, and made myself his Prime Minister.
The game's slightly old and has its jankiness. If you like TW: Warhammer and other strategy games, you'll like this one. Just find a meta build and go nuts.

But, that's a post box.
Inbox and outbox are physically trays that sit on your desk, labelled IN and OUT.

So certain blocks don't load unless they are required?
not quite, the blocks were referencing a lot of things ranging from the player character mesh, lots of textures that werent needed all the time,material instances (lots of them) and every single block in my game. it was even referencing a bunch of mega scans for some reason

This was because the player mesh was loaded inside the ship?
empty dune
This was because the player mesh was loaded inside the ship?
no, the player mesh was being referenced because the player controller was referenced by each block. and the controller had the player mesh
i have jumped off mount stupid and into the valley of finding more info
summer cedar
Ok. Probably final stupid question. Why was each block, not controlled or modded by the player, referencing the player controller?
empty dune
Ok. Probably final stupid question. Why was each block, not controlled or modded...
because each block was also used to get some information that only the controller held and i stupidly baked the controller reference in the master bp of the blocks

i havent reached that level of proficiency with ue cpp yet. funny thing is i just closed your coro github because i felt i wasnt ready for it yet

My choice, not theirs.
Lu Bu is a one-man army. He doesn't care about climate and light.

That's like 20 soldiers dedicated to holding lights

Not enough lanterns on big ass poles to light the way?

I think it was more about my horse charging through them and trampling them all to death.

They can't. It's Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

Even then, it was a very close thing before they took him down.

He just gets pissed off after the kunai laced with wisteria poison

His blood art was well animated, too.

Daki and him were upper rank 6, and that strong
The two upper ranks in swordsmith arc were upper rank 5 and 4. They were much weaker than daki and her brother

Swordsmith arc was kinda underwhelming in that aspect

Since you mentioned gender, I googled this for some reason and found:
-- Komodos have a curious twist in their sex determination as well. Although we think of females being XX (that is, having two X chromosomes) and males as being XY, it's the other way around in these giant monitor lizards. Two identical sex chromosomes make a male Komodo, and two different ones make a female. --
Interesting.
