If it was an offline AI and not a data harvesting machine, this would actually be kind of cool. Its a shame, another possible innovation stiffled by greed. I’d be down to own a device where the AI is actually mine and not a corpos.
Yep, if I was rich I’d already be a professional game dev. Since I’m not I work IT and dev at night. Its obvious, rich people can take risks cause they’re rich. Which means they end up deciding what gets made for the most part.
I’m not really seeing that. Only a revival project announced on 2021. After Crytek UK (what became of the original Free Radical Design) was closed, Koch Media purchased the rights to TimeSplitters.
Edit: ah, found it on THQ Nordic’s list of acquisions, Wikipedia needs to update the TimeSplitters page. Acquisition List
While Blizzard is very much focussed on its big money-makers like its various Warcraft games, from WoW to Hearthstone to Warcraft Rumble, as well as Diablo and the much-maligned Overwatch 2, he’s still open to StarCraft making a comeback. That said, RTS fans shouldn’t get their hopes up. While the series might return, that...
The developers of hit PS5 exclusive Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 say Miles Morales is the "main" Spider-Man from now on, which has caused some fans to speculate about what Insomniac may do with the inevitable Spider-Man 3.
I already seen someone meltdown over this in discord and honestly why care so much? Its their spiderman story. I’m just waiting for a squad spiderverse game where you get to customize your spiderperson.

It was quite literally unfair how insane paladins were in Cata. I loved every minute of it. Healing people, holy shock procks, kill flag carrier in 1 click, go back to healing. It was so dumb, I miss it.
It was insane. I have a similar story with a troll rogue. Dude had insane hp regen and it was basically my mana bar versus his skill at disengaging to regen. Got down to 2% health and finally got a proc off on him to end it. He died in one hit that was around 280k I think? It was nuts. I was a healer. Azeroth was my place too. Lok’Tar Ogar!
I have recently played 3 games that have forced a lengthy, unskippable tutorial section that runs for several hours of the game, just to unlock the most basic functions like buying the items, customizing features, multiplayer, and even 2-player split screen modes....
Its not, and on subsequent playthroughs the tutorial is skipped and online is available. You get multiplayer at the end of chapter 2, there are 5 chapters in the game.
It does not take 30 seconds, it takes up to five minutes. Some of these changes also get reverted with specific updates and suddenly you’re seeing ads again.
Thats the tailored experiences, common users dont have the knowledge to safely edit registry keys. Thats a bullshit excuse to hide ads there and you know it. Stop defending shitty practices.
Yes I am. Saying “its not that bad, it only takes thirty seconds” is literally defending shoving ads down our throats and making them hard to remove. That way of thinking deserves to be crucified. Ads have no place living on an OS.
Because its fucking mind boggling people would ever even provide an excuse for this. Why? Even if it did take thirty seconds, why? I would still curse it.
I mean, I dont actually mind ads… within reason. But over the past few years I have watched less and less youtube content due to the ratio of ads to the actual bloody content I wanted to view....

DLC usually comes with the assumption it is officially released by the company. Nobody says “did you see the dlc that just dropped?” when referring to mods, even if the mods are just expansion packs.
There is much more they could do. While building heavily off of what they already have. People clearly want a true competitive successor to Melee and with the input delays on new controllers and wireless devices people aren’t liking it. They have a lot they could do with minimal effort. Just because you once had vision doesn’t mean you can’t lose it. If modders can make this, why is Nintendo throwing the towel in? He is speaking of “magnetitude” like the game needs loads of content. When in reality Smash Bros fans are competitively motivated. Your share from the article enlightens nothing.
Thats my point, it doesnt need to be bigger. It needs to foster its competitive side. Him focusing on “bigger” in my opinion says he doesn’t know what keeps people coming back to Smash. Its the competition. You can side eye me with the article all you want, but Sakurai has been saying Ultimate is the last since its release.
I donate to the Mozilla foundation, and I love Firefox a ton. But I can’t seem to like the UI by installing a theme, and when I change it to look better the browser slows to a crawl. Does it really matter all that much if I use Chromium?...
Have you checked out “workstation” laptops? Thoough those might be more geared towards rendering graphics. I only suggested the Mac because I have a relative in film school and its Macs all the way down.
You could try looking at HP Zbooks, Dell XPSs, or the Lenovo Slim Pro 9i. But Zbooks are more expensive than macs sometimes.
