Yeah. Normally I wouldn’t care, but when the colonies/galaxies get big, even a 30% TPS hit or whatever starts to feel very painful.

I would note that Rimworld and Stellaris (for me) run much slower in linux than they do on windows, and they are kind of perforamnce sensitive games.

Makes sense. Thieves filtering for easy marks is probably older than writing.

A lot of people suck in the real world.

Agreed, this just looks like a miss.

Who knows why, but it doesn’t seem like for-profit Game of Thrones.

Just looking at what the 7800X3D eats for somewhat lower clocks, those power figures are insane.

Cyrodil and The Shivering Isles were a blast though. Even playing BG3, with how amazing and stupendously huge it is, I didn’t feel that same sense of open scale wandering about (which is why I find their approach in SF so baffling)

Wow, this is so… Mass Effect 2/DA. It hasn’t changed a whole lot.

I am not into the gameplay, but I could probably do it if I buff the snot out of the companions with a mod so it doesn’t feel like mopping up mooks alone.

But are they any fun? Charismatic?

I think Baldurs Gate 3 proved that wrong.

Is that really the case with Starfield though?

I didn’t really get into Fallout 76 (immediately bounced off a coop attempt), but I do hear its map is pretty good.

I bought it at $8/share and am not letting go.

+1. Less combat, more talking, and fights should be really impactful in turn.

They have money now though.

It doesn’t hurt.

You mean the closed access?

I think it’s fabulous. They can get feedback from the actual people doing heavy lifting (especially the framework maintainers, I presume) and make drastic changes before a real release, without blowback from jankiness.

I wish more studios were that in touch TBH. Many heavily modded games (Stardew Valley for one) do work closely with framework creators, give them early heads up and such, it’s just kinda taken for granted by the larger community and not trumpted.

Paralives

That would have been a marketing nightmare lol

I’m sure the annotations will be intelligent and insightful…

I grew up in suburban DFW, and King of the Hill is not really an accurate parody…

It’s a documentary.

You think I’m kidding, I am not.

Because it makes the line go up?

Sustainability doesn’t matter. Musk’s hype holds the market value up (in the short term), and kicking him out could tank it from the controversy alone. That’s all that matters.

I like to think many investors are buy and hold, long term institutional, Warren acolytes or whatever, but in reality the outlook is just so short for so many people now. What matters is the next day and the next quarter, and they can just bail out after that.

Indeed, though I prefer skipping extensions on mobile because (as said above) native implementations tend to be faster and more power efficient.

Ublock is probably an exception though. It’s quite fast.
