Yeah I wouldn’t. It’s not really the same kind of game ultimately, and the time investment you need to grasp it can be a lot, even for someone like me who played DOTA and shooters way too much.
If you can get into it though, it’s a real banger so far.
Are you hungry?
I don’t know if I’d go as far with my personal tastes, but I know for sure ds3 makes me stressed out. I think the combat system is far too fast and roll centric to be enjoyable to me. DS2 is just a nice adventure and sometimes I need that despite its flaws.
You are correct about the race bias, and it’s to a much lesser extent, but people do also say Stonehenge was built by aliens. As early as 1968 apparently.
Hell yeah, I get swarms of king parrots turn up and they’re majestic.
I recently replayed it. It’s kind of a weird one, but yes I’d say worth 5 bucks even as a window into the past.
The interrogation gameplay mechanics are a bit vague and difficult to understand exactly how to make the game do what you want, or even what you think the entire mechanic does, but to its credit it doesn’t usually give you a hard game over when you make mistakes. I failed an interrogation for example, but I got a few extra scenes of comedy that I didn’t see last time when I succeeded.
It pioneered facial capture in video games, but it’s out of sync with the rest of the body animation. Combine that with the low res textures and it’s a bit uncanny at times. Fascinating to see given where motion and facial capture is today though.

Would love to be able to put my PS3 discs in my PS5 but maybe that’s asking too much
Was relocating a $10k piece of networking hardware and dropped it into another 10k VM server. Server was fine, network hardware was not. It was during a project that was a real mess, thought it was a stupid mistake though.
We were able to work around it, though we did lose the contract we were trying to make. Honestly though given how rushed and panicked that whole three months was though, we were lucky nobody suffered anything worse. Real shitshow.
I’ve been doing the same thing, if the performance of a game feels like it could be better I slap that shit in there and it often drops GPU usage by at least half, it’s frankly ridiculous.

You’re right, but once we’re feeling effects of that magnitude we’re already pretty much screwed. We’d need long term corrective action, and basically manually reverse all the damage we’ve done. it bought as well be teraforming at that point.
Fuck yeah train pirates
Hell yeah my dude prioritise healthy art process
100% they’ve got an emulator, they’ve had dedicated test environments since the moon landing for emulating disaster recovery scenarios since the moon landings, they’ve likely got at least one functioning hardware replica and very likely can spin up a hardware emulation as a virtual machine at will.
Source: I made this up, but I have a good understanding of systems admin and have a interest in space stuff so I’m pretty confident they would have this stuff at bare minimum
I’m with you for the most part, but they aren’t a monopoly. The definition changes depending on who you ask, I’m going by the overwhelming market share + providing barriers to entry to competitors. They do debatably meet the market share, but I’d argue not the practices that bar the existence of competitors.
I feel like they’ve been very careful to not meet that second criteria and it’s been healthy to the games market as a whole. GoG has a different niche, humble bundle sells wholesale discounts, and every company has their own store, for better or worse.
Meanwhile epic gets on my nerves because it’s been throwing around exclusivity deals to their platform and throwing around free games, which are both tactics to try to undermine the others in the market. If they had the kind of userbase steam has, yes I’d say that would be a monopoly.
Ditto, and then you see people claiming they’re a monopoly despite not doing anything monopolistic, supporting other launchers in steam, and allowing keys purchased through other stores to activate on steam.
Meanwhile epic is throwing around exclusivity deals, but that’s fine because they’re too incompetent a storefront to make an actual impact I guess?
Not by itself I agree. I think there’s value in adding functionality that isn’t needed but would still be something you could do in the real world. Half life didn’t need functioning vending machines, but it adds a little layer that feels nice.
While this is good and I support that focus, aren’t we kinda getting towards it being a PC at this point? Hell just open it up a little, allow community development, and I’d buy the fuck out of it.
