and the price of a decent gaming PC hasn't really changed much in the last 15 years.

I take it you haven't priced parts for a gaming PC in the last 15 years?

Seems that way. Someone clearly close to the government and probably the EA deal is hell bent on eliminating Steam, not through competition, but through political leverage and bullshit lawsuit after lawsuit.

Is this the new Astroturfed counter argument? The USA Is big? Jesus we're fucked.

The incident happened in July 2024. Why make an article now?

Lol. Lmao, even! Micro transactions and battle passes get enshitified like everything else.

It won't matter if someone else makes a better card when features like mega geometry and RTX are only available on Nvidia cards.

[–] newthrowaway20@lemmy.world 34 points 4 days ago

Oh cool. More manufacturer specific features to lock consumers to Nvidia. Because RTX and DLAA have been soooo good for the gaming industry.

But.. there's so much money to be made by acting as the gatekeeper.

Don't support the company. But do fight against a government who's hell bent on taking away your rights and they'll do it taking the rights of people or things you don't care about first. If you give them any leeway, they'll take it all.

I wouldn't dismiss daily stretching.. Doing yoga 4 days a week has completely fixed my lower back pain from sitting at a computer all day.

WTF does an ohio senator have to do with the iran war?

 

If you aren't aware, the Ghost Stories English Dub is one of the most insane dubs ever made. It's incredibly offensive and racist and bat shit insane at times and it's probably one of the funniest things I've ever watched. Scamboli Reviews has a great summary video about it. If you have time, it's worth watching this anime at least once in your life.

 

The Gold Saucer is sure to be fantastic, and I'm excited to see the date scene. But I'm particularly interested in how they do Barret and Dyne's encounter. I hope they expand on that whole moment.

 

Can we discuss the start of act 2?

I made it a point not to roll back my saves for any decision I make. So far, I've managed to save the tiefling's at the druid camp. Being a tiefling myself, I want to see them make it!

This made me all the more excited to see all the tiefling's that I'd saved make it this far. And boy were there a lot of them. So many people I recognized from previous conversations or quests. I was thrilled! And they of course remembered me.

I say all this to emphasize how hard it hit me when I wasn't able to protect Isabel. That whole interaction blindsided me so bad. And my initiative roll was horrible for all my characters, I ended up being paralyzed and they just slaughtered her in 2 turns.

It was a freaking gut punch, the likes I haven't felt in a game in years. All those innocent people, turned to monsters, then forcing me to put them down.

My main character was always so optimistic before this. This interaction is gonna make me change the way I play and the decisions I make going forward, just to really add to the impact of him losing all those people he cared about, thinking the decisions he made led to their death.

Is there anyone living the good life with their tiefling friends in the Last Light Inn? Anyone who saved Isabel? Because my character just lost his people and is a broken person now because of it.
