I think this is due to the broader “move towards AI”, gaming was big around COVID, now it’s in a massive decline, at least in terms of employment and investment opportunities, if not actual revenues.

Microsoft is a criminal organisation that thrives on corruption (no real action being taken with respect to anti trust proceedings is still relevant today).

Crime isn’t only about someone stealing your phone, extracting many billion of dollars via oligopolistic methods of limiting competition and leaving people with no other option than to use their products (irrespective of price or feature considerations) is also criminal activity.

They are not going to fight the US administratorion on this.

Cool art, but yeah this is spam.

“Boomer shooter” refers to old school FPS/shooters in the sense of boomer = old? Never knew that.

I always thought it was because of the more fast paced styles of the older games and emphasis on explosive weapons.

Most people who played Doom / Unreal / Hexen when the games were released were early millenials or tail end “Gen X”. From memory, FPS games weren’t really that popular among people in their 30s and early 40s in the 90s. It was all young kids, teenagers and (I am assuming) university students.

Have yet to play the remake. Played the original on PC in 99 or so. It was a very novel experience at that time (I had mostly played cRPGs, RTSs, city-builder/tycoons etc.). A lot of the puzzles were challenging for young brain though.

Cheers. I am actually looking for a KB+M experience for Final Fantasy 7, I know, a bit strange.

The 2012 PC version seems like the best bet. That being said, I have a modding guide bookmarked that seemed very comprehensive, need to just go for it.

Older article, but I just read about the game/concept and I thought I would share since I couldn’t find anything about Blippo+ on this community.

As weird as this sounds, the screenshots make me want to play the original FF7.

I tried it back in the day, but my frame of reference was FO1/2, Might and Magic, etc., so the general JRPG style seemed off.

I am willing to give it another go 25+ years later. There are also seem to be aot of good mods for FF7.

Moebius was what came to mind on first glance.

I don’t really see why public or private status matters in the picture. It will be still be the same culture (and leadership?). They try something new, but if will still be the same old IMO.

I could be wrong though, I don’t really have much interests in AAA outside of a few exceptions.

On one hand this is big news, on the other hand, I don’t really see how this matters.

The last EA game that I bought was SimCity (2013) and that was comically bad. Just my experience, but it’s not like fans of their sports games will be looking for alternatives (irrespective of what EA does).

Please post the video on games/pcgaming when you are done.

Soma is one of my favourite games of all time. Finished it two sittings (needed a break for sleep). I think it took me longer than most, but I was also exploring the world a lot.

This is on voyager/mobile, so on desktop I guess it would be the attach image, not the first body image.

I wasn’t refering to the fighting screenshot. :)

Top screenshot looks really picturesque.

I will add a link to the sidebar.

This is unlikely to happen with current rules. You would likely need to radically change copyright and patent laws for a fast-moving sector like semiconductors to create real competition.

Semiconductor performance will continue to improve and the baseline will always be the most modern CPUs and GPUs (even if prices continue to rise).

I actually don’t think this is a furry game per se. Although I can see where you are coming from.

All this stuff sounds like Randy Pitchford building out his personal brand.

I wish anything involving Pitchford was not reported on (at all).

Gary Oldman said squadron 42 was coming out next year

Mark Hamil said that something called “Squadron 54” was coming out soon, this was half a decade ago.

What does you having fun with friends in star citizen have to do with the discussion about it being a scam?

These things are unrelated.

There are companies with 50K employees with working delivery (no JPEG of an oil barrel) where the management was found to engage in fraud.

It’s not like the only type of scam possible is a day 1 rugpull.
