I only recently started playing again specifically because I found out that all the missions in online mode that required you to be in a public lobby are now able to be ran in a private lobby. Playing in a solo lobby is basically like getting more SP story (there are story missions in GTAO; it’s not all races and DM). Don’t have to deal with cheaters or asshats.

For a single file, I just use Bluetooth. For a lot of files, or a really big file, I plug my phone into the PC and set it to storage device.

It would be so nice if someone had the money and the balls to actually fight against these bogus uses of the DMCA when no copyright violations are even being made. It is used and abused solely as a scare tactic, and everyone just falls over when push comes to shove because they don’t have the money to take legal action themselves and fight it.

How do you mod a PS4 game?

Brink was cool, if a bit flawed. It could have become better if they had given it more of a chance.

Shattered Horizon was awesome at first, but eventually the game changed entirely and at some point an update just broke the game for hella people (myself included) so we couldn’t even play on a local server with bots and it was never fixed. :/

Loosely: Games that make you feel cozy.

Does not necessarily challenge the player, might not even set goals. Has a certain aesthetic that is not drab or dreary.

Stardew Valley is considered to be a cozy game, as an example.

It does not challenge you at all and is colorful as hell. Children love it.

:O

Do the same thing, but on a device that allows blocking ads entirely. From behind a proxy or VPN, so they can’t even get accurate location data from your IP.

When do we get Howard the Duck? At least give me Spider-Ham.

Switch between GTA V and RDR2 and end up punching my damn horse every time I try to ride it because entering vehicles is F in GTAV but in RDR2 F is your dedicated melee button.

Just makes me think of Voidstar Labs. It sounds useless as a gimmick, it involves 3D printing, and it could turn an entire gaming device into wearable tech. Amazing.

Someone send this to Zack.

“The” asset browser could be any number of sources, some of which are not coupled to any specific engine. AAA games do also use already made shit, especially when it’s an inconsequential background item like a TV. They just don’t use them for the entire game.

According to Abe, one of the most time-consuming and labor-intensive parts of game development is coming up with the “hundreds of thousands of unique ideas” needed to create the in-game environment. For example, if you want to put a TV inside of your game, you can’t just use an existing product as is – you need to think of a fictional TV design from scratch, including the manufacturer’s logo and everything else about the object.

I can just go into the asset browser and find a whole slew of TVs I can just add to my game and either use them as-is, or tweak the look a bit to fit my aesthetic choice and not need to reinvent the wheel every damn time. It’s such a small thing that’s just filling out the background, that adding details like a fictional logo aren’t necessary at all, unless it’s actually relevant to the plot somehow. What the fuck is Abe smoking with that example?

It does make sense if you replace the word time with money. Paying all those artists to make all those little details for every little thing is costly. But AI will do it for free.

4 explanations are needed now.

Elden Ring was my most played of 2024 on Steam. Which is surprising to me, personally, only because I played through SOTE ONCE and I was done. Still has the highest hours on Steam for the whole of 2024.

But I was obsessing over Echo Project’s visual novels after finally checking out Adastra, too. Since those aren’t on Steam, this explains my stats being pretty low on Steam.

Can I just take the $5000 and then fuck off to a better platform?

Slime Rancher 2

There’s a sequel?! :O

Man, you think inserting an image into your document fucks things up, just wait until you insert DOOM into it.

I don’t need a paper thin phone. I need a phone with a battery that lasts all day when actively using my phone non-stop with everything on and the screen at maximum brightness.
