Careful VRAM monitoring raises my eyebrows just a little for a game like Hi-Fi Rush, but it makes perfect sense that Tango Dreamworks would have learned from their experience in Ghostwire: Tokyo, even if they don’t share much in structure or artstyle—it seems the streaming and asynchronous shader compilation tech wouldn’t have been a thing in HFR were it not for G:T. Very interesting! Can’t see why this post has a negative score.
Using this thread to start some discussion about the upcoming expansion: what are you looking forward to most? Will you be playing on release?
Personally, I’m anxious to see how the core game will change with the announced changes—I was largely happy with the plot of the original, but the game got too easy and the skill tree was uninspired. Still, I won’t care too much if it’s bad or good; once I have the time and money for a rig that crushes overdrive mode I don’t think I’ll care about game mechanics too much.
Hilariously parental of them, but perfectly on-brand!
The fact that instagram users can migrate their accounts to Threads (presumably with very little configuration) is huge. I don’t feel like it would impact this side of the internet as much but twitter could look like a very different place a year from now. Doubt they’ll be trying to federate.
I share the same sentiment—and I can’t tell if it’s because it’s the newest, shiny thing and most of us feel like we’re on some frontier of something greater, but I do feel like we’re valuing each others’ input a lot more than the Reddit baseline.
I realize that’s kind of antithetical to what you were saying earlier in that there’s an end-all-be-all kind of comment, but I’d like to think that it’s because we’ve all matured a bit during this time and that this fediverse kick is enough to shift our thinking to remind us that there is an individual behind each of these posts, and there really shouldn’t be comments that shut out most avenues of conversation.
This has gotten ranty, but I’d just like to close off with the pettier thought that we’re all just being slightly chattier than normal simply because we want to drive content away from the alien site. Either way, I hope this sentiment continues.
