I have issues with old DOSBox games. Has anyone ever gotten Star Wars Rebel Assault 1 or 2 running?

Noooooooooo. They were suppose to kill each other.

Bungie wasn’t a Mac exclusive company. They were a Mac first company. Oni, the game they made right before Halo, was released to Windows and PS2 after it was released for Mac. Halo could have had just a big of an impact without being owned by Microsoft.

If Bungie stayed independent, Halo might have been a one and done game and they would have moved on to other IPs though.

About the same, but I would love to go to a lan party every now and then and actually game. I stopped going when people were more interested in sharing their puddle deep political takes instead of gaming and that was before gamergate. I can only imagine how bad it would be now.

People were more relaxed at lan parties and open server browser games. Rank tracking and matchmaking made everyone a sweaty gamer.

I thought that may have happened with Only Up!, but it may have only been temporally delisted for copyright violations by the developer.

Looks like it happens fairly often for bad G2A codes or other redeem code fraud, which seems fair. People report that you can get the money back as store credit.

To be fair to Steam, the DRM is optional for developers. You can pressure those developers not to use it. That being said, Steam could have a DRM tag so you could filter out the DRM games.

If I could play the two games from start to finish right now, I probably would. As it stands, I don’t regret sitting this out.

I miss when video game companies made video games and not “not live service models.”

They need to respond, but they need to end the whole “Killology” mindset that American cops are trained into.

It’s Sony. The various divisions never know what each other is doing and the moment a new executive comes in, they charge everything to make it seem like they’re important.

If the deployment cycle started before Unity pulled their shit, I wont hold it against them for finishing with it.

People need to invest in Godot now. Either in just learning it or as a finical supporter.

Otherwise, I’m always interested if someone does something in GZ/LZ/UZDoom or cooks up their own engine. Hrot has no business being as good as it is being made in Pascal by one person.

The Citadel. I didn’t realize how fast the combat loop was at first. The first level was setup like a stop and pop shooter, but it’s really a run and gun style.

Mass Hirings and Firings are all smoke and mirrors for the shareholders. You do a mass hirings to put on the appearance of growth and you do mass firings to put on the appearance of cuttings costs. None of it’s real and the shareholders don’t seem to care.

It’s because I never tried to represent an absolute, but you still decided to reduce my argument into one. Most people don’t mod a game before trying it vanilla. The few excepts are games with notorious bugs or legacy titles that only work on modern systems with modifications.

Modding a game is an artistic activity that’s a key part of remix culture and doesn’t interfere with the original artist intent of the game because it’s something that happens after release. DLSS5 is a layer on top of the release game that’s there from the start.

An equalizer is something the end user does themselves to customize their experience of the music, but it doesn’t override the original music or the “canon”. Any music maker will understand the need for equalizers because of unique room setups. They would not appreciate if their music was fed through a autotuner though, especially if it’s something the hardware manufacturer is forcing on the end user without their knowledge.

Most people will install mods after playing the game as intended to get more life out of it and if a game is modable, it’s often because the devs included support for that.

An equalizer is a preferred option because everyone doesn’t have the same audio setup. Different speakers and different room setups will effect the audio. An equalizer is equivalent to the calibration settings in your display setting.

Most people will install mods after playing the game as intended to get more life out of it and if a game is modable, it’s often because the devs included support for that.

Many of those devs got their starts in the modding scene and understand remix culture. What Nvidia is doing is not that. What Nvidia is doing is tantamount to including Autotune in every music player.

All for the service of a Live Service Game seems like such a waste of effort.

edit: To anyone that takes issue with my cynicism, can I play the Destiny 1 and 2 campaign from start to finish today?

I thought Gimp was a kink thing.

Cloud tech is still bad, but even that wasn’t pushed as hard as AI is being pushed.

The Cloud Is Just Someone Else’s Computer

You’ll own nothing and you’ll be happy.

Now if only Google would ban their own ai summaries.
