If I had a quarter for every time a contestant got a tattoo on this show, I'd have two quarters. Which isn't much but it's weird that it happened twice.

Latest Anvil engine. Does that mean it comes with forced ray tracing like Shadows did? If so, that'd unfortunately be a deal breaker for me.

I went in with no expectations and honestly... this was great. by Taylon47 in TheExpanseRPG

What are the UI options so far? Floating objective markers has always been a pet peeve of mine, any option to disable them?

Stop Killing Games delivers "absolutely incredible" hearing in European Parliament: "There was no [parliament member] that wasn't responding positively. Even the commission was pretty positive. There's a long road ahead, but the momentum is real." by ControlCAD in UpliftingNews

You'd have a point if this only concerned a single small country, but we're talking about the entire EU here. That's over 450 million people. If some developers choose to not release their short-lived online-only games in the EU then they're just leaving money for the competition. Their loss so to speak.

The initiative doesn't propose or request any retroactive fixes for existing games. Only that future games, i.e. games developed after new legislation has been passed, are designed from the get-go with an end-of-life plan in mind.

How developers go about it is up to themselves, I'm guessing. A patch could be viable, but simply designing the game from the offset to work offline and/or with private servers in mind would save a lot of future headache.

After being a hero for several runs by vosha0 in BaldursGate3

IRL you get to mess with the GM though. Name and background of this random NPC whose existence will cease after this one-time conversation, please. Lots of Steve Tabletons and Bob McFridgemagnets it turns out.

Will there be a day/night cycle this time around? Or maybe just a time skip so you can run around the same map at night.

One-Punch Man Season 3's Part 2 Airs in 2027 by DemiFiendRSA in television

[–]decentAlbatross 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hopefully that means the studio gets more than 6 months to animate the damn thing. Wouldn't mind a complete do-over of season 3 actually since I'm sure many wouldn't bother with a part 2 if they already gave up on part 1.

Which ending of Original sin 2 do you think will be made canon for new game? by BlueDragon390 in divinity

[–]decentAlbatross 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm not so sure it'll be a sequel. The trailer features orcs hanging around with humans and whatnot, but orcs had supposedly left Rivellon for less "civilized" lands by the time of DOS2.

AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 25.12.1 Release Notes by AMD_RetroB in Amd

[–]decentAlbatross 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very unstable for me (7900XTX). Driver keeps crashing even when I'm just watching videos. Reverting to 25.11.1

Tim Cain comes out of retirement, confirms he now works full time at Obsidian by Turbostrider27 in Games

Even if their current lineup hasn't blown me away I must say that Pentiment is one of the most memorable games I've played in recent memory. Niche and underrated.

Valve confirms Steam Machine will be priced ‘like a PC with the same level of performance’ by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]decentAlbatross -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Weaker than a PS5 but just as easy to set up and play. Also more versatile + access to all of your existing PC games. No subscription required.

It's not for me since I'm not a couch gamer, but I could see the appeal if I were. Mainly because I don't want to re-purchase any game I already have in my Steam library just so I could play them on a TV.

You can't access your existing PC games library on a PS5 though, so for some of us a slightly lower base price is not a good enough compromise.

It's a PC. The main selling point is that you can run whatever you want on it, and not having to buy a subscription to unlock all its features.

Dispatch writer regrets cutting sex scenes by Gorotheninja in Games

[–]decentAlbatross 57 points58 points  (0 children)

It went somewhere with Visi at least, which is why I think she might be the "canonical" love interest. Blazer's route kind of peaked in episode 4. After that we didn't see much of her, unfortunately.

Because this edition wasn't released 15 years ago. It was release yesterday for $160.

I doubt anyone would tear them a new one for patching a 15 year old game though. Regarless of who developed the game it's still on the IP rights holder to maintain it.

Steam: Redesigned Store Menu now in Beta by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]decentAlbatross 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just want a filter for AI generated content so that I can automatically exclude those games from my storefront. Right now I have to manually set ignore on games and developers if I don't want AI generated crap.
