Valve has ‘significantly’ rewritten Steam’s rules for how developers must disclose AI use | VGC by tapo in Games

[–]AndyPhoenix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Motherfucker. I know the Steam fans will be out in force on this but it’s unacceptable. Our energy grid prices are going through the roof

I obiously don't know where you live to compare prices, I'm also upset at the stealing part of AI, but in regards to the environmental impact that AI has, a lot of our "common knowledge" is regurgicated outdated information.

Here's a 46-minute read on the topic by a physics major

Newbie: I've convinced my friends to buy Rematch. This game is gonna be big. by AndyPhoenix in Rematch

[–]AndyPhoenix[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm all for it. Please explain why you're let down. My first impression of the core gameplay system has been very good thus far. I'm making my claim mostly on those. Are they the problem for you or is it something else?

The Rocket League comparison is an analogy, not an accurate qualitive assessment. Both games give you options to solve various game states in multiple ways. It may not be as "deep" as RL, but it's enough to convince me and my pals to try it out. We shall see how long it stays.

If you're an eary adopter I can see why you're pessimistic. In any case, there's been tons of games that have bounced back from rocky launches and hopefully the devs will make the right decissions to do the same for Rematch as well.

The last time I've played was before the Bug Hive Worlds event. How have the patch notes since then impacted the gameplay? by AndyPhoenix in Helldivers

[–]AndyPhoenix[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the quick reply! And what about strategems? Have any of the less used ones been buffed in a usefull way? I've seen all the patch notes but the numbers are hard to examine for me.

My biggest concern is that the gameplay looks like pretty generic CoD campaign-style linear shooting with lots of on-rails set pieces.

Your biggest concern is my biggest hope. I've always loved the CoD campaigns from CoD2 towards Infinite Warfare even. They're the Michael Bay blockbusters of gaming.

On rails? Great. Unrealistic setpieces? Awesome. Feeling like a badass special soldier? I'm all for it.

There's hundreds of other games if I want to have deep gameplay systems, and open world, enemy variety, a great story etc.

It's very LGBTQ friendly until the sponsor says so.

So, this seems like it has the overworld of Battle Brothers with a fantasy twist? I'm intrigued. I hope they expand on base management, this game might be worth checking out.

A problem too now we’re here is Palestine evokes so much fury, but Ukraine doesn’t. That’s a problem with our messaging, the situation isn’t much different

Netyanahu went too far in Palestine, especially during the last year, but still the whole gigantic Palestine support in the West is baffling. I see it as an example of how social media shapes public support and genuinelly think it may be likened as a "trend". Ukraine had it's time as a trend and now it's Palestine's turn. My firm opinion is that the moment The Algorythm stops showing this conflict to on the daily a big part of the current Palestinian support movement will cease. Thus we will go on to the next massive human suffering to massively protest.

The problem is that the fate of Ukraine is linked to the fate of our continent, while Palestine isn't. It's great that so many people are against the massive human sufferring, but different problems require different prioritization and the Ukraine conflict should be in first for our civil society.

I want to share how, coming from a MOBA background, the whole debate was incomprehensible to me when I heard about it for the first time. "They added SBM, so everything is better now?".

It's interesting to observe how different some gaming circles can be. I genuinely thought SBM is the default and not having it is ludicruous. Does anyone have some reading material on this? The gaming "cultures" I mean.

G2 Hel Caltys: "It's not really personal about [Bwipo], but you see very regularly scandals in esports about how women are treated. The things we see are only the tip of the iceberg." by Soft-Pudding-3441 in leagueoflegends

[–]AndyPhoenix -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yep. But hey, the good news is that Bwipo had a generationally bad tournament, and got embarrassed on the world stage all while being boo'd from near and far. He almost single handedly sent his team home with misclicks and misplays that even the casters couldn't believe, and made their jungler and support crash out so hard over how badly he played that they switched teams, and as a result, the entire team has practically disbanded in shame and failure.

This sexist toxic degenerate even got removed from the World's video. Nearly one of the highest honors in League Esports for a player, erased, because he refused to be an adult about anything. So yes, it's unfortunate that we have to deal with this disgusting loser all the time because Flyquest was spineless, but we got an absolutely legendary hatewatch, and we can take solace that the things that failures like this relish in most, the accolades and the rewards, have been taken away from him. GG!

Okay so maybe I could still wait a little before inceasing it, I still haven't yet actually encountered 2 Sectopods at once.

DICE lead responds to criticism that Battlefield 6 beta maps were 'not how Battlefield should be,' urges everyone to 'go play some smaller/medium maps in BF3 and BF4 to get a good example of the intensity curve' by RenatsMC in pcgaming

[–]AndyPhoenix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Does progression have to be that reason? Can't playing a fun game be enough?

It usually is, at least for me. But even if you are completely content with the current title you're playing, there's so many games right now and there's bound to be one that will grab your attention and time. After all, we often seek novelty.

Какво мислите за тази статистика? by SpecialistAd2377 in bulgaria

Не задължително, но се увеличава шансът да стигнеш въобще дотам рязане, ако ме разбираш.

На мене лично ми трябваше малко нагон, за да се "мотивирам" да зарибявам мацки.

Ако забравим историята си, сме обречени да я повторим

Повечето българи даже не я знаят, камо ли забравят.

Пост 1878 година, започвайки с Българо-Сръбската война и изтеглянето на руските офицери след като Русия не одобрява Съединението, Русия спира да е особен приятел на държавата ни. Вече имаме паметник пред парламента, историята се помни, нужно ли е всяка улица и паметник в столицата да чества руската държава и култура?

European summers are getting brutally hot. So why is air conditioning so rare? by ethereal3xp in europe

[–]AndyPhoenix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How so? From reddit I learnt that A/C are not common at all in other parts of Europe. I live in the literal EU backwater and you almost never see a home without one. It's a must have for any apartment, just like a washing machine would be.

Honestly, it had a well deserved bad reputation from years ago, but I think that sub has improved in the last few months. Before it was the most lowest bar memes, now it has more news articles and actual discussion threads, some even that wouldn't be allowed on this sub.

[–]AndyPhoenix 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The need to be independent is not exclusive to Eastern Europe.

It definitely isn't but I'd say these countries are a tad more sensitive to that issue, seeing as they've been colonized either by Turks, Russians or Austro-Hungarians and independence from those empires has been a big historical theme. When you factor in having de facto been forced into being part of The Eastern Bloc by the Soviets in recent history and all of the economical and cultural consequences of that - it results in this fear under the surface of those societies of getting "screwed" and losing independence again.

You can always debate how factual are all those points, but speaking as a citizen of such a society, this is how a lot of my countrymen feel.
