Bro constantly posts here about how everyone else makes his life horrible, but then constantly refuses to change in any way. Constantly posting about being single but refusing some really good and honest advice I’ve seen. I’m just done with their sympathy posts.

Gonna be interesting if that ai bill passed then.

If the alternative is being laid off, this is a decent approach imo. A lot of people probably are feeling burned out or ready to leave. The severance is probably going to be generous, probably a years salary and some stock. If you were on the fence, it would probably be tempting. Plus then only the people interested in leaving anyway leave, those passionate stay.

I’d like to see how they measured success. Was it to break even? Well from what point? Including the time that it was supposed to be a live service game? Through the committees and executives shutting down ideas? It was in the top 10 for games on Steam that week and had generally favorable reviews. If that didn’t match their plan, that’s on them.

I’m glad you shared that because if I go online people think I’m crazy for liking it. I thought the ending was good too, I liked that it wrapped up questions that I’ve had since origins in a way that felt honorable to the original game. The game and characters however were flat, but I’d vastly prefer knowing the ending to them never finishing the story

As a long time fan - it was fine. It was just… fine. People rage against it but gamers rage against everything. It’s not Inquisition. Inquisition is the best IMO personally. However, Veilguard was worth playing, I think it wrapped up the story fine, I thought the ending did do a fair job wrapping up all of those loose ends, I feel like it ended the story. However, it came out closer to Assassin’s Creed in terms of my personal fun level. If horrible is Anthem and Top level is RDR2, it came out at Assassin’s creed.

So yeah, pick it up on sale. I’d say it was a solid $40 game.

So EA put way too high of a sales target on the game, obviously held it back from becoming what it could be, and now are blaming the studio with layoffs, ensuring the next game will flop.

I don’t care what their “numbers” and “projections” were. The game was on the top 10 list in Steam. Even if it wasn’t an A+ game I’d say it looked like it at least hit Assassin’s Creed numbers, I’d hardly call that a failure. Sounds more like a failure to accurately predict, maybe they should fire their business analysts instead of the people who you know, make the games.

Very very neat. Is there a list of games that support dlss but not fsr?

Right? 4 years is a while but I wouldn’t call it old by any means

At some point I learned to set boundaries with my mom and IT help. I know I’m good at it, hell I worked geek squad for years, but she got demanding. Started calling me out of the blue demanding help even if I was in the middle of something.

“My printer doesn’t work”. “Okay, well I’m out right now… I’m not even home”. “BUT I NEED TO PRINT SOMETHING FOR TOMORROW” “Okay, well if it’s that urgent the library has printers, or the FedEx office can do it. I can help you in a couple of days on my day off”

Me helping is a gift, it’s something I give to you, it’s not something I am required to do or an obligation. Since a couple of confrontations like that it’s gotten much more manageable

That’s what I always said here. They never said emulation was illegal, but all of those emulators started making it extremely easy to pirate. Worse they openly targeted current gen consoles, so it was way way messier on “preserving old games” when brand new games were almost immediately supported. It was pretty much begging Nintendo to take action by targeting brand new games

Okay I’ll admit the fan thing is clever…

When I walk through my house I have sweet motion activated lights and doodads that I have spent hours tweaking and I enjoy thoroughly.

In the bathroom I use a switch.

Not everything needs to be “smart”

Thanks for keeping the “if not sold”. They’ve had many opportunities to make it legal, and they’ve fought it all the way. It’s not a “ban” as much as it is a forced sale.

I’m guessing next week we’re going to hear they spun it off to a totally american company, or meta taking it over or something. Then everyone will celebrate that it’s back.

Good thing they avoided that.

That was 100% it’s downfall. I don’t know what executive said “But it Haaaass to run on them” - I guarantee every engineer there knew it would be a disaster on the older gen. I know they said at the beginning that it would, but they should have just sucked it up and said “Look, folks, we’re sorry, it just can’t run and you won’t have a good time, so it’s next gen only. We’ll see you in Night City when you can”

It’s about making more steam users. Windows is great, they can use steam. They’re going after people who can’t afford a pc. If people get a deck or steamos who already do own one, that’s just gravy

Damn, the next Oscars are gonna be pretty light now

Oh I know, it’s just that they said they’re removing moderation for “free speech” and then remove one of the ways you can express themselves. Just hypocritical.

Just making it clear that it wasn’t about freedom of expression or speech. True freedom of speech would mean keeping these even if it made other people uncomfortable.
