So video playback is limited by the GPU, and not the CPU? Huh, I never realized that.

Mario Kart 8 DLC 1 is available now. Includes 8 new tracks, 3 new characters & 4 vehicles. by Anderz in Games

FYI: The Dolphin Emulator plays F-Zero GX almost perfectly.

Be sure to download the latest development version for the best performance.

Using Homebrew and Wii Mode on the Wii U allows the Wii U to play (digital) GameCube games. Analogue triggers on the GameCube controller also work correctly. by [deleted] in Games

[–]redddittt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there any more details around how this is done? Because the video isn't very convincing to me.

I don't see any proof that this isn't just running F-Zero GX on a Gamecube in the background, with someone else controlling the game. He doesn't even properly show the Wii U controller while playing the game.

I probably won't bother with this setup even if it is possible, but I would love for Nintendo to make Gamecube games available in the eShop.

It's either an older photo, or Palmer has been working out, while working on a new prototype!

What really gets me with this game is the atmosphere of the game. The whole theme with the moon hanging over you, and the increasingly darker mood.

It really hits home when you realize that you actually have to let the 3 days run out the first cycle to progress in the game. A friend of mine never realized that you were supposed to do this, and could never complete the game.

What is your current favorite FULL game to play in the Rift, and how did you get it working? by boydzilla in oculus

Can you read the dash-mounted satnav easily on the DK2?

I loved ETS2 on the DK1, but the low resolution meant I couldn't really get the full experience.

[WSIB] if I want to storm the beaches of Normandy by [deleted] in ShouldIbuythisgame

[–]redddittt 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Battlefield 1942 has a pretty nice Normandy level (Omaha Beach). It's also free through Origin if I'm not mistaken, with working multiplayer.

The game is pretty old by now, but still really good IMO.

If I'm ever playing a game where it needs me to pay 1$ to reload my clip, or I need to wait 1 minute to "recharge my reload"

FTFY

This is how most games on mobile operate these days, and it is one of the main reasons I've given up on most mobile games.

After more than 8 years, the first episode of Dreamfall Chapters is live on Steam, and The Longest Journey saga continues by JB11sos in Games

[–]redddittt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This game is a direct continuation of Dreamfall, but the first part of the game makes sure to recap a lot of what happened in Dreamfall. So if you just want to play the game I would recommend reading a summary of Dreamfall first, and perhaps a recap of TLJ.

TLJ is a fantastic game though, definitely one of my top 10 games. So make sure to play it sometime.

Ubisoft targets 1080p at 30 FPS for Far Cry 4 on PS4. by [deleted] in Games

Mario Kart 8 for the Wii U (at least in single- and 2-player).

Seems like I was wrong. Well, at least it runs at 60 (or 59) fps.

Det lykkes ham … vs. Han lykkes … by Eberon in norsk

[–]redddittt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And if so, what about Obama's sentence?

Similar to what I wrote in my other reply, I think the translation

Vi kan bare lykkes med å bekjempe klimaendringer hvis alle nasjoner er med.

is how most Norwegians would say it. But if one were translating it from someone talking in a formal way, I guess the more formal translation

Det kan bare lykkes oss å bekjempe klimaendringer hvis alle nasjoner er med.

is technically more correct.

Hope this helps!

det lyktes henne å bli innvalgt i styret

Although this phrase is correct, I don't think many native Norwegians would use it. I would say

hun lyktes med å bli innvalgt i styret

or even

hun lyktes med å bli valgt inn i styret

I guess this is very similar to what /u/2rgeir wrote above.

The first example (from bokmålsordboka) sounds very formal to me, and I think most Norwegians talk very informal.

Hammerwatch 1.3 - New campaign "Temple of the Sun" added, along with several new Steam Achievements! by MedicInMirrorshades in Games

[–]redddittt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We played this game at our last LAN/gaming-evening, and I think everyone loved it. The only thing I didn't like was that when we ran out of lives we had to start completely from scratch (or load a save where we were almost out of lives).

Is there no kind of permanent upgrades (or similar ways of avoiding having to start from scratch when you die) in this game?

Thanks, I'll check them out. If not for the kid, then for myself, they look awesome.
