I only spent 99 DKK (Danish kroner) on a Switch 2 + Mario Kart World because a local company briefly fucked their pricing.

The system is certainly worth 99 DKK, that much I can say. Though… I find myself mostly still graviting to emulated MK8D.

That guy is out of touch.

Yeah, I’ve noticed an uptic of AI generated content being posted outside the AI circle jerk subreddits. Places like the AoE4 and Bionicle subreddits have had quite a number of AI posts already.

Theyve become too courageous, with others going out of the way to defend the use of generative AI with weak arguments like “but cars also steal jobs”.

The one subreddit that I’ve seen have a healthy response against AI generated content is the Bionicle subreddit. Doesn’t really surprise me as the Bionicle community is full of creatives.

And haven’t even achieved AI yet. What we call “AI” is still nothing more than an upjumped calculator.

Huh… That’s not a bad idea, actually.

Yes, but they still have problems. But I’m noticing a trend in foldable phone designs, and I’m worried that by the time foldable phones get really good, the ones that fold smaller aren’t around anymore.

The choice of CryEngine was because of Crysis, a game that was infamous for PC killing visuals. Roberts doesn’t just want a gran open universe, but also something that looks like real life.

Which is why on two occasions new ships were put off from development in order to competent overhaul existing ships to look better, as better graphics became the norm.

I’m surprised development hasn’t completely paused once again to overhaul everything for raytracing.

I’m not sure what features you feel are lacking. And I haven’t used Plex at all.

For me, all I want is being able to connect to it from any device, and sync play.

Well, some of those actors know him. Mark Hammel has worked with him before in Wing Commander.

But yeah, you’re right; same old Roberts.

Good faith, no. There’s about as much good faith as a silicon valley tech bro looking for venture capitalists.

I don’t think Chris Roberts doesn’t believe in what he’s doing. I genuinely think he wants to make what he’s promising because he’s been trying to do that since the 90s. But he’s also milking the development time/funds as hard as he can.

Oh yeah. My friend group starts having issues with more than 8 people watching. ^^;

Unfortunately the plugin seems to be abandoned.

I don’t want large phones that get even larger. I want a large phones that becomes smaller for my pocket.

Use Jellyfin. Fill your server with treasures procured from the high seas. Watch on any device. Sync play with far away friends or family.

900 million USD and 13 years of development and they still don’t have the single player linear story game Squadron 42 released.

The visuals were absolutely crazy 10 years ago and are starting to look dated today. They’ve gone over and reinvented the wheel several times, including using a game engine that was never meant for online play.

The only thing that is keeping this level of incompetence afloat is the shit ton of money that people keep pouring into this. Previously Roberts had some executive that would kick him off a project if he got too… ambitious. But now he’s in full control of his project and… Well… For the first, and ONLY, time ever I take the side of the executives.

If you look into Chris Robert’s history you’ll know it’s not a scam. You’ll also know he should never be given full control of any project or it will turn into exactly this; something that never finishes.

I dunno why, can’t really put my finger on it, but I have this slight hunch that it might be related to fascism in some way.

I’ve gotten pretty much the entire Yakuza series through Humble Monthly. I’ve tried getting into it starting with Y0… Played a couple of hours… Then stopped…

I dunno… It just doesn’t really seem to grow on me.

What a really interesting insight. Here are some more topics that you might find interesting:

“Waaaahhhh! Waaaaahhhh! Why is Steam such a good service? That should be illegal! Tell them they should be worse!”

That’s all I’m hearing from these other corpos.

How about both?
