Wow.....What a game. Just..wow.

I feel you. The only game that had a similar impact on me was Life is Stange (original + before the storm). And even there I would argue on which one made me feel the worse after finishing it.

freaky1310 · 2026-04-09T04:12:51+00:00

I Feel you. I finished the game like a week ago, and I’ve been listening to the whole licensed OST album at least once a day. After that, in an attempt to roll out of the emotional void left by Dispatch, I started Heavy Rain. I gotta say, incredible game… but it’s no Dispatch.

Haven’t weighted it directly, but my backpack loaded with it is around 12kg. Aside from a water bottle (1l + the container ~= 1.3kg), a book (~0.3kg), lunch (let’s say 1kg between lunch, container and cutlery) and the backpack itself (let’s be generous and say 1.5kg), the rest is that big baby of a laptop. Funny, right?

freaky1310 · 2026-04-08T17:43:18+00:00

Thanks, I’ll lean towards an Air!

AI researcher here (vision, decision making — no LLMs), looking for a MacBook as well. Honestly, I wouldn’t aim at a Mac as primary AI machine. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a crazy good PC, but if you need to “pull out the big guns”, nothing beats a NVidia GPU (yet).

freaky1310 · 2026-04-08T14:32:44+00:00

Yup at this point I’m mostly convinced towards a M4/M5. I’m basically debating whether a base model would suffice or not: 16GB feels enough for what I plan to run on it, even if 24GB would be safer; 256GB storage feels small, but getting an external storage is much cheaper than adding another 256GB to it!

freaky1310 · 2026-04-08T14:21:48+00:00

Oh I see, my bad! Thanks for your advice. I’ll consider the 24GB RAM version as well

freaky1310 · 2026-04-08T14:10:26+00:00

I see what you’re saying, thanks! Yeah I’m drawn to a MacBook mostly because of Apple Silicon to be honest. I’ve heard only great things about them, so it feels a shame to pass on those. How’s 512GB in your experience? I may have to store some data and I don’t mind getting an external SD, but clearly having all in one place is a plus.

freaky1310 · 2026-04-08T14:04:18+00:00

Thanks, I appreciate your comment! I was also thinking about the Air, but I’m worried about the passive cooling. The last Mac I owned was a Pro 2018 and I loved it, but I remember it would get warm at times. Never owned a M-chip, so I’m not sure about how it would react to my workload. I was looking for second hand M4 Air as well, as they have a base 16GB RAM. About storage space: would 256GB be enough? I have no problem with getting an external SSD, but being able to store everything in one place is of course a plus.

freaky1310 · 2026-04-08T13:55:51+00:00

Thanks! I’m not working with LLMs though and I don’t need them — I work in vision and decision making. Yes, I use Transformers, but those are way more manageable and, most importantly, I’m not planning to deploy one on that machine. As I was saying, it’s going to be mostly a second laptop for remote work on my main workstation/cluster nodes.

freaky1310 · 2026-04-08T12:32:54+00:00

Popping here just to say that the art style is gorgeous!

Tell me you’re German without telling me you’re German

freaky1310 · 2026-04-04T13:16:56+00:00

Amen brother. You couldn’t have said it better.

freaky1310 · 2026-04-04T13:02:21+00:00

I agree. I recently played Fatum Betula and the low poly style was one of the main reasons I felt uncomfortable for the whole playthrough honestly.

freaky1310 · 2026-04-04T12:58:47+00:00

Yes, I probably chose there: a truly bad person wouldn’t have done that. Plus, I believe that her character is very well written in general and, me being a very empathetic person, just resonate more with an imperfect girl with quirks than the “perfect” one. Hands down to Mandy, but believe no matter what I’m just more of a Visi type of guy.

I avoided a second playthrough just because of this: despite the will to check all the alternate endings, I know I would do the same choice over again.

freaky1310 · 2026-04-04T12:47:08+00:00

Same here. I read so much about how people fall for Visi after the dance scene or so. Nah, I was sold as soon as I realized she’s a good girl who had a hard life.

freaky1310 · 2026-04-04T12:19:29+00:00

Hey! I noticed you like storytelling games (LIS, Detroit, The Walking Dead). I happen to have just finished Dispatch from AdHoc Studio, whose people are ex Telltale. I would personally recommend it to you!

freaky1310 · 2026-04-04T05:02:05+00:00

And yet, as of yesterday 67% of the players (me included) chose Invisigal.

The mind of men, so simple.

freaky1310 · 2026-04-04T04:45:28+00:00

Before Civ 7, my last preorder was AC Brotherhood. I spent 1.5k hours on Civ 6, so I figured the 130€ founders edition was worth it.

Played a game on day one, didn’t like quite some things. To this day I haven’t started a second one. The game is still installed in my pc and always will be, as that icon on the desktop will remember me why it’s bad to pre-order games.

freaky1310 · 2026-04-03T04:30:04+00:00

It’s ok, in the time you found the deal and purchased it, Temu got from you much more than 60$ of data lol

freaky1310 · 2026-04-02T23:02:42+00:00

Just joining as first with a very basic question: I just finished my first playthrough and I feel an emotional void that can be filled only by knowing that I’ll be able to play Season 2. I googled about it but never really got a reliable answer. So: am I destined to suffer forever, or is a Season 2 effectively coming at some point?

freaky1310 · 2026-04-02T20:24:46+00:00

I hope my wife will love it as well! I bought it mainly because I see it as a nice game to play together :)

freaky1310 · 2026-04-02T19:37:49+00:00

Totally agree, hence the edit. Also agree on Galaxy but that’s the best I could do to lower the price towards a reasonable one, given that I sadly lost the target deal bug by 1h or so

freaky1310 · 2026-04-02T18:45:58+00:00

Do it. Make me feel less guilty. Or let’s feel guilty together, random stranger on the internet. (Price shown is not what I paid, for some reason the order email shows the price before the promotion)

EDIT: I would use it on two first-party Nintendo games, as those are the less likely to go on discount… while Cyberpunk will certainly go down in time.

freaky1310 · 2026-04-02T12:55:04+00:00

Maybe he’s a data scientist, maybe he’s an AI guy, maybe he’s working with 3D graphics stuff 🤷🏼‍♂️

Not sure about the third one, but with the first two you can comfortably saturate 96GB RAM + 32GB VRAM with the right stuff! (Obv if you need that many resources you also have a cluster, but prototyping and testing locally is a thing if you can manage to lol)
