Even if they did, starting a chip company is fucking difficult AF. You don’t want one mega company. You end up in a situation like Canada where they have one airline company and barely any cell carriers.

Competition is healthy. Fingers crossed that Nvidia starts making x86 CPUs as well as Qualcomm. AMD needs more competition too.

The GPU industry also needs some real competition.

Ugh. I’d probably pay $15 for it on sale, but the launcher makes me want to pirate it just to avoid that crap. I literally just want to play undead nightmare.

Undead nightmarrrrre, fuck yes. I generally don’t like rockstar games these days, but undead nightmare was so fucking good. I might actually have to buy it

Ubisoft left steam? Didn’t even know it, their games have gotten terrible reviews for so long, and their uplay platform is so shitty, I have skipped them until they fixed their game dev or cancelled uplay, haha.

I agree!

Heh, the first step in a long series of steps towards orbital shipyards and coriolis-class space stations.

The future is looking bright.

It’s so cute, I love their cute little facial expressions :)

Red rescue team, if you haven’t played a pokemon mystery dungeon game before. I played the DS version (blue rescue team) and loved it.

Hmm, no 9800x. Disappointing. There’s no way I’m paying $500 for a CPU.

It is…inevitable. A shame, really. >:)

*human porn.

Google can’t even block yiff with safe search, lol. AI has incredible difficulty with evaluating furry porn. Which means that Mitch McConnell is going to live out his final days looking at anthropomorphic hyenas that could benchpress a fridge and have 11 inches of freedom, lmao.

Generations of southerners and people in the central US are going to be looking at considerable amounts of yiff if conservatives have their way.

Also…like…who needs an ultra realistic videogame? Cel shading and other techniques usually age better anyways. I want games to be fun first and foremost. Eye candy is just candy without substance.

Some games like Elite Dangerous benefit from ultra realistic, but I’d hardly call that a mass market game, it’s more for simming.

The Coors Light of shooters could probably be cel shaded and be just as fun in 2024 as the next release 9-12 months later. And they could save a lot of overhead costs.

Just cause 2 was great. But the franchise is not strong enough for a movie. 3 and 4 were trending in the wrong direction. It’s a series that needs to be shelved for awhile. Different games are needed, especially new IP.

I’m sure there’s some small game that technically invented it, but was rather obscure. TF2 was the first mass market hero game I can think of. I guess TF1, in some respects.

Wasn’t TF2 the first hero shooter?

I played for 90 hours, it’s fun. But like many games where the narrative is determined by hundreds of thousands of people, it suffers from the Marvel Studios problem where nothing ever happens. The aliens destroy X planet and it gets rebuilt and everyone moves back. No attacks on super earth, two enemy types, mostly the same set of planets.

The gameplay loops are fun, but I have most stuff unlocked and was hoping the robots would really make an incursion, or the bugs would attack super earth. So far though, no dice.

For $40 and 90 hours of play, I can’t complain. It just doesn’t feel like it has the staying power of a DRG though.

I didn’t even know it was having a PC release until like…a game award thing of some kind and was floored that I didn’t hear about it. Realized it was on Epic and wasn’t gonna be a wider release and lost interest.

Galaxy On Fire 2 was great, but Elite Dangerous on PC later kicked the absolute crap out of it.

Whales spend tens of thousands of dollars on p2w bullshit. It’s all unregulated gambling.
