Nah, that crease is quite distracting.

It’s something I’m glad it is not longer being used anymore and run+jump or long press jump or double jump are used instead. It was a pain to pull the move on a keyboard, at least for me.

Loved that show as a kid!

The urge to pop it up…

Strictly speaking about single player games, as in no rogue likes and such, Max Payne 2 is probably the game I played most times over the years.

That’s a cozy fire for sure.

That’s some high quality stick you have there my man.

Hi, graphic design span many disciplines and each one will have different requirements. Unless she does some short of 3D or video rendering intensive workloads GPU doesn’t matter that much. Im am UX designer (formerly graphic designer) and a powerful CPU, something like an AMD Ryzen 5800x or similar, plenty of RAM (at least 32Gb) and SSD HD (nothing fancy, anything will do) should be enough. Sadly, design software hasn’t evolved enough to take advantage of better performance.

However I’m not a Linux user (although have been considering it) so my main concern would be how the software she uses is Linux compatible or can be properly emulated without performance or stability issues. If she is working professionally FOS software won’t do it, you need default industry software.

I mainly use Figma and to lessen extent Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator. Figma can run entirely in a browser but I’ve seen reports of slowdown (to the point of being unusable in some distros). Adobe apps seem to be very hard to emulate to the point of seeing people recommending using a Windows VM. So I rather start checking the software rather than the hardware.

Those flat CRT TVs were the end game back in the day.

Jesus, only 4 games in that otherwise short short list ring a bell for me.

The reason is simply getting rid of competition.

Even if the whole industry were to collapse tomorrow, we already have games enough for a lifetime of 24/7 gaming.

Nah, Switch U or go home.

People going crazy over a PSN account requirement but nobody cares a shit about the game having root access to their PCs. Funny times we live in indeed.

That’s why they are trying to push it up to €70, right?

No way! I’ve just put a new one there yesterday (or was it the day before?)

It’s ok, not every franchise has to go on forever.

How about shareholders tip me instead?

Didn’t get it at €12, so I don’t think I will get it at €20.

I stopped following Kotaku years ago. It was the best news site by a large stretch. At some point it quickly became trash in the lapse of a few months.

Regarding the writing guides galore, the same has just happened to Destructoid during this very week, suddenly my feed was flooded with dozens of clickbait “how to de X in [trendy game name]”. I just stopped following them right away.

Now I only have Gemstsu to check news and it is not particularly good, guess sooner than later my only source of new game releases will be the from page of Steam:(
