I picked it up in a sale recently, it’s not normally my type of game but I thought I’d give it a shot. I’m only a couple of hours in and loving it so far.

The story is sucking me in and I’m starting to appreciate the combat, things seem to be unlocking at about the pace I can understand. I’m a little worried it’ll be repetitive but it looks like there’s plenty of opportunity to be creative to keep it interesting.

Definitely my solo game for the longer nights ahead.

Just picked this up in the Steam sale, looking forward to diving into it as the nights draw in.

One of the principal justifications for George Osborne’s 2010 austerity plans turned out to be erroneous thanks to an Excel error.

That was without any help from AI, things could be about to get much worse.

Pip is the Python package manager styled to look like npm the Node package manager

ReactJs is styled to look like AngularJS

The crab is the Go gopher styled to look like the Rust crab.

At this point ordering from AliExpreas is a better experience than Amazon.

the milk from the milk rounds

This wasn’t raw milk. It was still pasteurised. Just not homogenised.

Homogenisation mixes the fat in the milk more effectively so you don’t get separation in the milk which increases its shelf life. Your memories of the tasty milk were probably the creamy part at the top of unshaken pasteurised but not homogenised milk.

I still have two decks to gold stake. Then I’ll quit. Honest.

My friend group enjoyed Splitgate 1 but we just bounced off Splitgate 2. It just wasn’t fun. Portals seemed to be an afterthought, rather than fundamental to the gameplay. Also the maps we played seemed to be tighter and less arena based.

Still not sure why they decided to do ‘2’ rather than continuing to iterate on the first one really.

Thread is a network layer thing, comparable to WiFi or Bluetooth. Matter is an application later thing, comparable to HomeKit or Google home.

Zigbee is both network and application layer.

I tried this on my 6700XT I had to play in 720p, the performance was that bad. Any of the available upscalers just made it look worse.

I upgraded to a more modern card since then and it works fine, but if you’re on something like a 6700xt I’d be wary or prepare to refund if you don’t like the performance.

Yeah this article is woefully uninformed. Author seems to be butt hurt about GPU pricing rather than any serious interest in how the protocol actually works.

As a British guy who worked in the USA for a while, my colleagues couldn’t fathom that I had no interest in going to Disneyland. It was kinda weird the obsession some of them had with it.

I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s due to the ‘don’t call them exemptions’ covering the console but not separate controllers.

I meant a diminishing number of PC players without RT.

The PC with RT + console market is increasing. The PC without RT market is only decreasing.

The reason the new Doom and Indiana Jones games require a card with ray tracing is a consequence of the consoles all having ray tracing and an increasing number of PC users do too.

So to support a diminishing number of PC players would require the game to be lit twice, one with RT and one with traditional methods. Obviously this costs more in development and testing and studios are increasingly deciding it’s just not worth it.

It’s got to be the biggest dividing line we’ve seen in years. I suspect things will settle down for a while, now.

Amazon charges per hour for renting a server. Some are very expensive. It’s a common mistake to forget to turn off a server after you’ve finished using it and end up paying more than you planned.

Pretty sure the scary warnings in big bold text are more recent than this report.

Yeah, I think this is just an oversight. It says X and S on the store page.
