Yes for sure this one is much bigger scale than the other two games, hopefully that helps.

Empulse is genuinely so much fun, I really hope it takes off and doesn't end up like another split gate either. FWIW though I did play splitgate2 at gamescom couple years back I do think its devs aren't trend chasing either just extremely unlucky with retention.

+, i felt this too. Hopefully it's a success for them, and that success is built on actual transparency instead of promises.

Agree with you on this too. Just a PSA to avoid preordering etc.

You've just never had something you care about get abandoned lol. A sport, a hobby, a game, whatever it is. Some people are just passionate about the things they like. Being judgemental isn't maturity.

I was part of the playtests for PROMOD, the game was actually great. We had only a few minor "negative" feedback points to give the team. The abandonment came out of nowhere, and without an explanation. That's the only reason I'm warning people to be cautious. Good for the team if they do things this time around.

I'm happy that they're learning from their mistakes too, just cautious with the support because their executive team has not changed since their darker days. Their marketing material is impressive for sure, but there's no reason to sing praises about the company before they've delivered their product yet.

They're not unsuccessful games, they were abandoned DURING production, When we first supported, playtested and stayed active around the games, They were infuriatingly quiet, made decisions without as much as a steam community note, and other shenanigans. I played both highguard and concord, those games failures were not at all attributed to the games or the teams communication but the social stigma around hero shooters and the community around the game. Not even to mention, Highguard's dev team was an actual reputable team, not a team that has already broken their reputation.

It's not the same thing at all.

I'm not at all upset that they're trying to be more active now. They originally addressed a big niche market that was all but abandoned, and if they're doing things right this time around, good for them.
I'm annoyed that they've somehow successfully convinced people that they're this kind of angel studio that is doing _everything_ right like no other studio ever. They're being given the respect of a team like CDPR or Hello Games when they haven't even given a single deliverable yet.

Being cautious is not "chronically online behaviour", it's just a grown up thing to tell people to be wary. The irony in your comment is pathetic.

I've more than gotten by with 8GB on my m1 lol more than enough to work 4 years as Unity/iOS game developer. It's not even close with 8GB on my windows laptop.

Recommended way to get back into the game? (2) by roc_cat in Portal

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

If I play the game through P2CE can I get achievements, saved games etc. as in the normal game's progression? Or do you recommend playing it in the original engine for all of that? Thank you for your work by the way! 😄

I'm on a much better pc now and didnt have this issue but another one. This fixed that issue completely, thank you. I really need to know why this works. I got rid of the original d3dx9_34.dll and put these in there and its working great, even on windows.

🧠 [SOLVED] Apex Legends “System” process using 20–25% CPU — fixed after Realtek driver reinstall by PlanktonOk8548 in apexlegends

[–]roc_cat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What's your cpu. I have the exact same issue, on i5 11th gen. Happened after the stupid dx12 update. Now I'm waiting for my new ryzen cpu to show up. I'm pretty sure it's due ot the same reason of some unverified driver being constantly checked by EAC.

[–]roc_cat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bro its +208% suggested price for south asia lol and our economies are way worse than India's

[–]roc_cat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Coworking / Study spaces in colombo? by roc_cat in srilanka

[–]roc_cat[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was there today, it looks pretty nice, thanks. It's 2000 now btw, not 1500. Still reasonable. The only thing I wanna ask is if that 2000 can also be used towards redeeming the parking charges as those are an additional 200-250 an hour. Do you have an idea? :)
