C’mon now. “Laptop monitor turn off” has never generated a good result

That’s not what they’re saying. They mean that if your search contains that or is somewhat adjacent (despite being more specific), your results will be drowned in it. For example, if you had something like “laptop monitor turn off when bla bla bla”, 90% of the results will completely ignore what you’ve added.

I’ve got to deal with the same shit whenever I have to deal with complicated programming questions. Half the results will be related to some really basic mistake on the user’s side that I haven’t done, and I’ll need to spend a lot of time trying to find the magical word combination that doesn’t trigger those non-related issues and actually show me what I need.

I’ve literally only talked to Shadowheart when the game forces me to (wanted to romance her on a different playthrough), and if I ask her about our relationship after the goblin stronghold she literally goes on and on about how I’m her closest confident and that she’s a completely different woman now. All the other NPCs also offered to fuck during the celebration, despite me being confrontational with some of them.

This is after all the patches to romance stats, too.

Wish they didn’t throw themselves at the player’s feet so hard, to be honest.

Me: “Damn Lae’Zel, you don’t have to be such a bitch constantly.”

Lae’Zel: “You are competent, and worthy. Tonight, I will find you, and claim what is mine.”

Me: “Yes, ma’am.”

That was my impression too. The costumes and CG seemed a bit goofy to me. But then again, so did the original Witcher trailer, and that ended-up looking mostly fine when I actually watched it, so…

shrugs

And then there’s the Fox Engine. God I hate what Konami did to Kojima.

Decided to give Dredge a shot. It seemed like a decent enough game to play while listening to podcasts. It makes me uneasy and I’m barely paying attention to the podcasts 😅

It’s got a killer atmosphere, I’ll give it that!

Digital Foundry made a video about it. Basically, you need a card that supports new rendering technologies that only started appearing on Nvidia cards after the GTX 10XX series (not sure for AMD). The game actually looks good on lower graphics. Putting everything on low won’t make it look like a PS2 game. The path tracing will absolutely demolish your performance, though, but that’s to be expected because it’s insane to expect real-time path tracing to do anything else with the current hardware (think of their path tracing as a tech demo more than an actual feature).

After Control’s success, I’d imagine AW2 still would’ve been made even without Epic’s exclusivity/publishing deal. If anything, Control’s timed EGS exclusivity hurt their numbers until they eventually hit Steam.

You don’t get it, though. Microsoft will put everything on Gamepass. Sony fanboys can suck on that!

Ignore the fact that them buying-up all these studios is objectively bad for our hobby and the industry, and that Gamepass has been touted as being objectively bad by everyone in the industry because studios receive a minuscule amount of revenue from it and that it disadvantages indie devs.

The only thing that matters here is that my metaphorical sports team beats your metaphorical sports team.

That was an interesting read, thanks!

Woopsie doopsie, we needed to update the mods that were on sale, and now every Skyrim mod needs to update or be incompatible with our game version. 🤭

Beat STASIS last week after seeing MandaloreGaming’s review. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Gonna give STASIS: Bone Totem a shot soon, I think.

I found my evil Baldur’s Gate 3 playthrough a bit underwhelming, so I went and restarted as a himbo barbarian wood elf, and I’ve been having a lot more fun with that build. Heart of gold with no brains has been really funny so far, especially when half my dialogue options as a Berserker are just to shout at people or punch them.

HOLDING ON TO WHAT I AM

Not necessarily. Unity says they’re charging per initial install once you break $1M (they walked-back on the “every” install bit), but Unreal takes a cut of your royalties once you break $1M, so it’s still hard to really compare them properly. If you’re making a free to play game, your install number could be dramatically higher than what a non free-to-play game would need to break $1M, for example.

Found the suckless user!

(like arc menu and dash-to-panel)

Yeah, if I can’t use dash-to-panel, I’m not using GNOME lmao. It feels like such a basic feature and a complete oversight that it isn’t part of GNOME on its own.
