Destroying filthy xenos in Space Marine II with my battle-brother in online campaign co-op.
What a treat. Also Pokémon Platinum.

I mean, look how fast the ENTIRE industry shifted to battle passes (and still gacha) and away from “loot boxes” the very moment the first country said they’d consider regulation.
We certainly can. NVIDIA’s CEO realizes that the next buzzword that sells their cards (8K, 240hz, RTX++) isn’t going to run at good framerates without it.
That’s not to say AI doesn’t have its place in graphics, but it’s definitely a crutch for extremely high-end rendering performance (see RT) and a nice performance and quality gain for weaker (hopefully cheaper) graphics cards which support it.
As a gamer and developer I sort of fear AI taking the charm away from rendered games as DLSS/FSR embeds itself in games. I don’t want to see a race to the bottom in terms of internal, pre-DLSS resolution.

There may be more people watching Deadlock than there are watching and playing Concord today based on available data and reasonable extrapolation. Valve continues to market in a unique way that works.
I think it’s just Tim Sweeney’s way of saying, we will adjust our approach in the future, like what any publicly traded CEO would do.
Epic Games is a private company.
If it were public, they would not let Sweeney throw (large amounts of) money into the shredder like he tends to do.
I bought a Tesla Model 3 back when they were new and I like Halo, so I named it “Silent Cartographer” for both being quiet and going places. It’s wordy AND nerdy, so I don’t really refer to it by its name.
My guess is building hype, probably.
I’ve seen no indication Valve is upset at what has transpired besides banning the person who shared information, which is the exact same thing they do to random people who (mistakenly or otherwise) stream the game on twitch/youtube.
Valve absolutely knows if they want Deadlock to be an absolute secret, they need to issue NDAs. They didn’t, so it must be something else.
Valve isn’t really angry as far as I can tell, or have heard. They’re about as angry as any other person which goes and posts this stuff online: revoking access. If Valve wanted to expand their testing userbase without people leaking it online, they would have sought NDAs and other legally-binding agreements with testers and - by extension - journalists who can test the game.
The game lives or dies on its aesthetics IMO. It’s a looter shooter with stiff competition launching quite a bit late. I love the aesthetic enough to be willing to give it a shot so long as it’s F2P.
If it doesn’t live or die on aesthetics it’s probably that they effectively re-define the genre like Apex basically did when it launched (also late to the party).
Only way to get to more than 2 parties is to vote for the one party that doesn’t want a dictatorship, sadly.
Worlds War 3?
In trying to find privacy-oriented map software, I found OsmAnd as well as OrganicMaps and shortly thereafter began contributing to openstreetmap. It’s actually quite easy and IMO fun to find discrepancies and use your knowledge to help an open data set.
Not only have I seen my edits show up in proprietary softwares, but the area around me is more accurate, to the point where recent construction to the road network was updated on OSM and Apple Maps, but not Google maps.
I just checked and Google maps is still out of date.
The article is even more wack than the price for the domain. They want to launch a $99 necklace that listens to everything you say while it “forms its own thoughts” about it. Then instead of talking to you, it just texts you when IT “wants” (read: on a timer or based on a system prompt)
The monetization is a one-time $99, no subscription. That’s … suspicious from a privacy perspective.
Ace Combat (PS2): Primarily Ace Combat 4, I’d say as it’s shorter but still great. If you like the gameplay then you’ll need to play 5 and Zero.
Definitely fake. Batch identifier plus a lot of things (label quality, top notch) being a bit off, and the stamp code not being CPUENXXXX. https://www.gameverifying.com/wiki/cart-based-systems/nds
I brought the brightness of the photo up for sure here so that it looks interesting and not dim/dull on your display.
I can tell you from experience though that we were able to see the red, blue, violet, green, and sometimes the yellow on the horizon unaided. Put simply, it was incredible and I wanted this photo to provide the same feeling.
Here’s a photo I transferred to my phone with the transfer app doing a simple jpeg conversion. 2.5 second exposure at ISO 5000, 36mm:
This is perhaps slightly brighter than what I recall seeing on the horizon.
Driving 40 minutes east of Bend brought us down to zero light pollution.
I use mealie, but an older version which still has its recipes public. Still waiting for that to be an option on newer versions.
Yeah, GameFreak figured out the casino stuff wasn’t a good idea in gen 4 (HeartGold/SoulSilver) and replaced slots with Voltorb Flip outside of Japan, and otherwise closed the game corner in subsequent titles. In Pokémon: Let’s Go (Gen7) the player receives Porygon from a random person instead of needing to grind coins in the casino. Would be interesting to see if they could/would hack in that change.
