Why should everyhing be in threes and so damn final in big entertainment land? I like the “will return in Story Title n+1” endings. Even when it never even materializes. Or the eternal spinoffs of spinoffs (which a lot of Star Wars kinda already are). Or the crossover in other works as a background character easter eggs (which I believe Star Wars have done occasionally too). Or Marvel type crossovers (but comics, the MCU multiverse thingy crossovers are getting a bit tiresome by now) (also no, dont bring wolverine into Star Wars, please) (no, not Deadpool or Spiderman either) (oh, the alternative is putting mandalorians in every Star Wars you say?).

Anyway, let the protagonist and closest allies survive, let him walk into the sunset, and be open for more adventures another day. In their own or as a mentor in someone else’s story.

Jup, useless folder. There’s one related thing I’ve complained a lot about lately, so I’m gonna complain some more about it:

Microsoft got this “great” idea of trying to repeatedly trick me into uploading that Documents folder to the cloud. A folder filled with GBytes of Battlefield and Assassins Creed cache files, Starfield mods, MS database files, etc… A lot of files that are in constant change, or locked the entire session. Annoying as hell. I love Onedrive, but I dont know why its so damn important for them to have those files.

Sometimes I really wish I could switch to some Linux distro instead.

Damn I’ve always wanted Windows to have that. Being able to put user folders on another partition, or even another drive, at install time. And being able to use “dynamic disk” (aka software raid) to expand partitions across disks as storage requirements grow. I know it is possible to setup, but with a lot of workarounds and annoying problems.

If the models were trained only on data that was out of copyright it wouldnt have been an issue, but nobody want to train on only 100+ years old data. Copyright laws are too long when their content arent culturally useful by the time they are free for public use. It hinders the creation of useful tools, among them these generative AIs. Maybe time for some reduction of those laws to something useful, and at the same time increased strictness for businesses to misuse copyrighted content?

It would probably only have sold as much as D:OS 3. Which wouldn’t have been a bad sale either, just not as much as BG3.

Huh. I was wondering about the name change when I bought FC 24 for my nephew this xmas. He made it very clear that they had changed names so that I didnt buy the wrong one, but he didnt say why it had changed. 🤯

I’m no fan of sports games. I dont play sports games. Also the kind of people I hang with also dislike sports games. And the last sport games I read about, a decade ago, had horrible reviews and awful graphics. So therefor I declare the Sports game genre for dead! /s

One tries to recreate an RPG campaign as close as possible to table-top RPG, but on a computer. Was the original definition back when “possible” was very limited.

Do be aware that if they haven’t fixed this: Epic games doesn’t sync your Saints Row saves. And if you uninstall, Epic deletes the saves entirely.

I’m still sore about losing my save game. Had spent time on creating a pretty cool-looking character only to lose him forever when I was waiting for a much needed performance patch.

A cookie banner with “Yes track me” and “Choose how much you want us to track you” button (on the retailer for my country, doesn’t seem to appear on the dot com site) doesn’t inspire confidence.

Hows their ink screens? I stayed with kindle primarily for their paperwhite, which is darn comfortable even in direct sunlight.

Meanwhile BG3 has gotten massively quest patched, added user requested features, a few new companion endings, etc, all within 2023. And that game was in better shape at launch than SF was.

Thats a good question to those who have spent 1K+ hours in Skyrim and Fallout 4. Why go back? Skyrim didn’t even have a base building system.

I’ll bet you’ll be back for the first big expansion. And that seems to be BGS’ bet too.

Damn. Spot on. Not a farm, but a proper house in a rural area with outside space enough for various crafting projects. And a garden. And a cat.

Im dead tired of living in a 5x3 firstfloor apartment with a single window and an outside area under tight control by a HOA. Teenage me enjoyed cramped, spartan living arrangements. Now if only I had money enough.

I’d rather have my games voice actors on a livable wage than gta6 out early. We probably have to wait a few months or more until the game is bugfree anyway. And an additional year’s wait for it to come out to pc.

Steam exclusives and nobody bat an eye.

Not that any other game launcher/store can measure up to steam. But you lock yourself out of a lot of good games these days if you still avoid other launchers.

Deleting the content of that overlay folder seems to have worked. Just don’t delete the folder itself or it complains about it missing.

Only 15 years ago? Jeez, that game feels ancient by now. The kinda game us old nerds bring up whenever kids brag about FarCry 3 and up.

I hope I’m not the only one who loved the gun jam mechanics? Or the way a NPC friend could drag me out of combat if I died, and only give me a basic pistol? Gamers today are so inconvenienced from setbacks and accidents outside their controls. Losing equipment just doesn’t happen anymore. And if it does, its called a survival game or survivor mode.

Friends, family, and even people you briefly meet, rat you out. Often without them even knowing by sharing their list of phone contacts.

No, you heard wrong. We’re good at googling, not coding.
