I'll echo a sister comment saying that NMS still feels like a tech demo. However, I'll also use the occasion to mention slash shill Noctis IV, a game that NMS more than likely owes a lot to. Noctis IV is an old DOS game, or perhap

Lots of goddamn awesome computers fizzled out. The Amiga being a prime example. Besides you can't just wave your arms in the most vague terms and then deny that survivor bias was ever a thing.

That's survivor bias to the extreme.

The randomness is rather amusing in a dark way. I pulled an Ivan in a central Polish city. This is a bit like placing a Marceau near Berlin.

Oh ho ho, no. Not to the human content creators. They'll lobby, they'll huff and puff and spend billions until the laws get changed in their favor. One day blocking claude scraper might just "suddenly" become illegal. Oh

That guitar stays with you. I haven't played DF in forever but I can still conjure up lengthy chunks of it from memory.

To sellers, yes. The drop of visual quality when the top-down LCD push began was staggering.

At least some reviews for Worms mentioned Scorched Earth (in superlatives too). It was big enough that systems that didn't have it, wish they had it.

Nitpick: not Gorilla.bas; it was the actual OG, Artillery. Prototypes, which used sprites ripped from Lemmings, were even named "Lemartillery". And the creative bankrupcy of T17 is a whole another topic. I would rather suggest tha

Well yeah. Look no further than the "brevity is the soul of wit" quote. It's taken at literal value when, in context, you know it's a joke, a potshot at the expense of the character saying it, who's anything but bri

As usual with LLM era craze, finding candidates was never the bottleneck. And, so far, it failed to actually provide any tangible results. [0] [0] https://www.science.org/content/blog-post/so-how-ai-drug-dis...

I've seen it make very LLM mistakes, esp. "hiccups" and palilalia this month.

IME Q2 also ran much slower on comparable hardware despite looking worse. The first rig I played them on was an unaccelerated P200MX with a paltry 32 megs of RAM and Q2 struggled at 320x240 while Unreal was slightly choppy but acceptable at

Yeah, I'd concur - the DOS-like parts of early AOS are really not pleasant to use and feature lacking, but if it's that or nothing, I'll take that.

EA lost FIFA a few years ago. The games are now "FC". They still sell though.

If they sold games and were well monetized (not to be confused with heavily monetized), they wouldn't be in this situation in the first place.

Because the Saudis leveraged this buyout via a massive loan from JP Morgan, EA's debt is now 10 times higher than it was when it was a publicly traded company: $2.2b to $22b. Turns out the notion that they wouldn’t need humans to make
