Half Life 2 VR mod after finishing Alyx. Alyx itself was a fantastic VR experience, but the hype is such that I probably don’t need to explain it.

I’ve kind of accepted a while ago that we’re not doing that as a species. There’s far too much money interested in keeping the status quo. The second Trump presidency is just the nail in the coffin for me.

Realistically, a mass population cull would probably be humanity’s best chance of having a comfortably habitable planet. No way are we shifting our society with the current trajectory of things.

Gonna just try and enjoy my life responsibly while the world burns unless there’s a radical wave of collective action that promises to truly uproot things.

I work with a Bhutanese person. They make it sound really idyllic. Apparently they really try to discourage tourism.

Oh yeah they’ve got that market cornered for sure. I’ve got an 18 month old, so all that to look forward to.

Who is the market for these simulator games? I don’t know anyone who plays them. They don’t look bad to me, but there must be a type of gamer I’m blind to.

Edit: great answers thanks all.

McDonalds. It’s the shittiest fast food place and maybe the most unjustifiably expensive.

At least in Idiocracy the President selected the smartest person to do the work.

I love Elden Ring, but a lot of the asset work on making a game is done for the devs when they go to work on DLC. Not sure if its right to compare with games that had to make a full game from scratch. Haven’t played shadow of the erdtree yet though, maybe it is transformative.

It’s the only explanation. Sony are sitting on the IP to sell as an exclusive later down the line. It would be financially stupid of them to release a 60fps patch, even paid, for the PS5 at this point.

Paywall

Thank you. Damages doesn’t mean “You never have to work again in your life”.

I don’t mean to be callous and obviously what happened to this woman was horrible. She probably deserves more but $1 million is still an amount of money it might take 20 years to generate on a normal income.

Valve really only releases things that shake the industry up. I’ve been playing through Alyx for the first time this weekend and oh my god is it good.

Great. The Remedy universe is really compelling, but they’ve always been a quiet achiever as a studio.

You’ll start falling in January, but the fall will be really really long.

Microwaves are 900W on high, microwave cooking rice doesn’t take too long.

There’s no one accusing that Concord died due to lack of investment!

I liked the purple prince… Hopefully there are skin options.

That is way ahead of my child! Walking at 11 months and I was so damn proud of that.

Finally some good news!

Income taxes go back into services that help society. How do you expect a government to fund any of the infrastructure and services that you take for granted around you without it?
