Is that about the book where animals are basically grouping together and attacking people (sounds like sharknado if you put it like that)? It’s been years since I read the book. My dad gave it to me back then. Do you recommend watching the series?
I was daunted by it at first as well when I got my hands on my deck. I didn’t want to break anything. But I tried it at some point and can’t recommend it enough! There are plenty of good tutorials on YouTube (that take just 5 minutes) and they also made the process of installing easier since when I did it. So if you’re on the fence, I’d recommend just to go for it, it’s not as techy as you might think.
It’s actually crazy that GTA V is already ten years old. That was one of my first big anticipated titles. It felt like such a defining moment back then. Now it’s two console generations later and we still have no real indication for GTA V or Elder Scrolls 6. I hope they’re going to be equally as impressive as their predecessors.
I actually had that problem a couple of days ago and was able to fix it myself by using the steam OS “main” channel instead of stable. The main channel is probably close to alpha. After that I could go back and it stayed fixed. So it seems that the new software indeed solved this problem.
Wouldn’t exactly call it impressive. It’s nice they included temporary tech. It is to be expected if you release a game in 2023. What weighs more I’d argue is what they left out. No improved textures, 720p UI still, no 60FPS - not even on a console that is 10 times stronger than what we had back then.
It’s especially sad if you think about that they already have the whole map of RDR1 recreated in RDR2. It feels like half of the work was already done and they just had to pull through and port the missions. Instead we got the exact game from 10 years ago.
You get what you f***ing deserve.
Yeah, but I just hope that it comes with a new (and improved) form-factor. Right now, with the size of the regular PS5 and it being shaped absolutely weird, I couldn’t put it anywhere. Whereas with the PS4 you could build a tower with them albeit it would lean backwards at some point lol.
Max is just on another level. Insane display of power.
“We know the car is bad Lewis. Please drive it.” That’s just brutal. Toto is ruthless. But honestly, his cool demeanour he still had when Mercedes was winning championships completely crumbled now.
(Beyond the spoilers is a small summary of these episodes which doesn’t give away too much but I tend to think that going in completely blind is the better experience. So in case you want to know a little bit what the episode is generally about you can safely read these.)
It’s about astronauts who can connect with their family on earth by some kind of android which they can control. However, this goes horribly wrong at some point, as all Black Mirror episodes tend do to.
There are 3 little stories woven together in one episode which on their own are already great. Memorabilia of these objects are being displayed in an eery museum which serves as the connection between these stories.
It starts with an accident which becomes a secret for the two people involved. Years later, an insurance investigator investigates another accident by tapping directly into witnesses memories.
Second this, I love Antenna Pod. Similarly, I too started with Podcast Addict and switched a year ago. Antenna Pod got a facelift quite recently and it looks and feels better than ever. You get all the stuff you want from a podcast app, plus you can customise it a little and its open source without ads. It really doesn’t get much better than that.
My lord, do I want to google that one or stay far away from it?
I don’t exactly know if this is going to work out in the end because new studios by established developers/directors can go either way but I know for a fact that RDR2 is the best video game story that I have ever experienced. I hope this new studio and also Rockstar will keep making great games.
I try to avoid games with always online as much as possible but sometimes you don’t have choice. If you want to play Diablo IV there’s not much else you could do. But at least Diablo has some form of multiplayer. If you have a solely single player experience with always online, it’s just bullshit. The DRM is only punishing players that pay for the game. If you insist to implement this kind of DRM then please go ahead but then you also have to run the servers forever. If you don’t then why should I buy your game?
I love how Microsoft said that with their exclusive titles they’ll only have to focus on one console and as such the performance will be better. Now here we are and seemingly all of these titles run at 30 FPS. I just hope they will offer a performance option if it is run on a lower resolution. Having these options is exactly what keeps me on the PC platform.
Wow, Starfield sounds too good to be true at the moment. It’s the Skyrim with guns in space you could only dream about. If the 2023 trend of releasing good games (not looking at you Gollum and Redfall) continues, we might get a great game. But I’m sure Bethesda will find a way to do something stupid lol.
Return of the Obra Dinn is great. The game has so much style and executes its premise perfectly. However, I did hit a wall at some point where I just can’t seem to get any other clue. By any chance, do you have any tips how to proceed in this case? I know it’s just a shot in the dark.
I hope you’re having fun with it! It really is unique but if you’re the type for it, then you can’t stop.
This is a really weird one:
There was a time where I played an unhealthy amount of My Summer Car. The basic premise is your parents are going on vacation and leave you alone in their lakeside house in Finland with nothing to do. Then it is up to you what you want to do. However, there is chassis and engine from an old car in your garage, that’s just waiting to be put together. So you go out, buy some groceries from the next local store, realise you forgot to buy lots and lots of beer, go back and buy that and then it’s off.
You’re building that car in that garage part after part while listening to Finnish death metal and the buzzing of flies if you neglect showering for too long. Swearing, driving drunk on a motorcycle, hopefully not getting caught by police, going out fishing with your motorboat, finding little secrets in the world. The other characters even have some weird backstories that you can uncover.
The game can be very punishing but also super rewarding and funny. It’s definitely very time intensive, so that is something you can really sink your teeth in. You do want to have a guide at hand in order to build the car, because that is one hell of a task. If you’re in for that kind of experience, it’s a very bumpy but funny ride.
Yeah, it was the same for me. I loved playing the demo on the PS3 back in the days. You can actually get it from key resellers which is what I did. However, I think they sell for about 80€ or so which is insane. I thought it was expensive when I bought it for 30€.
