How is this any different from Overseerr?

Sure wouldn’t be a shame if something happens to Damon Hininger, current CEO of Core Civic.

“I’ve worked at CoreCivic for 32 years, and this is truly one of the most exciting periods of my career,” CEO Damon Hininger said on the company’s earnings call.

Throw these parasites in their own prisons.

Sure. Seems fair. But they could also stop the pedophiles on their platform too.

So Trump can’t get it under control. Got it.

It’ll support it at release… Until they update and break the game. Then it’ll be down till we patch that. This’ll repeat every couple of months.

These are the exact specs of my old computer.

I got myself a new one a year ago. My old one is now running unraid, and runs all my downloading apps and Plex server. Just bumped it up to 80Tb and it’s going strong. Enable GPU support and the 1080 is more than enough for any transcoding that might pop up.

But LLM stuff is a different question. I haven’t begun to dabble with that. But I hear Framework just announced a new desktop that’ll end up being an awesome little box for machine learning.

Yea I’m taking vacation time to play this, for sure. Kojima always brings some crazy shit and hasn’t disappointed me yet.

They couldn’t do it 5 years ago either.

Awesome. A sealed copy of Klax. I’m sure at least one guy is happy about that.

Intel b580 still showing out of stock everywhere I normally look.

This is going to happen more frequently, and be significantly more disruptive. Elon wants to do like 130 launches a year, and for some reason, thinks it’s smart to break shit in a love environment rather than do more virtual testing or preparation.

Bedrock edition also has a docker stack and is easy to self host. You can play bedrock edition cross platform. If your kids already have Minecraft on a switch or Xbox or something like that, they can still play on that.

This is like the 3rd remaster of GTA5

It’s really tough to pin it down to just one thing… to me, it’s a perfect storm. This is anecdotal, of course. But companies made several bad decisions in a row. They seemed to think growth during COVID was normal and would continue annually. Some companies bought a bunch of other companies thinking this would be a new big push in gaming. Embracer group comes to mind.

Other companies decided to divert their very talented developers away from the types of games they were so good at developing, and towards what the business wanted to chase as far as revenue opportunities. Gatcha riddled live service games. Ubisoft, WB, Sony, EA, Microsoft, practically everyone chased this trend. Some put everything into it. Others dipped their toes. Some pulled back before it cost them hundreds of millions. Some spent hundreds of millions and got nothing to show for it. Some companies lost a lot of talent when the really good developers left to go work on stuff they care about. Others had no choice but to cut the business down to the bone because of all the money and time they wasted chasing a trend.

The government also started raising interest rates, which makes it more expensive to borrow money. So a lot of companies aren’t willing to spend the kinda money they used to, not without a guaranteed return. So now you will see more consolidation and less risk in the types of games being made by AAA studios.

So yea. I think there’s several factors, all could have been planned for with actual solid management, but that’s not the kind of management running these companies right now.

Ok then. Post about indies. No one is stopping you. If you got some indie games you wanna review or discuss, id happily participate.

So why do we pretend that PC gaming is about face-melting GPU-pushing graphics when it’s clearly not? That’s just a tiny—though lucrative—portion of the PC gaming market.

You answered yourself. They focus on it because it’s lucrative. It’s easy FOMO when they say your pc isn’t cutting edge anymore.

Also. Everyone was talking about Balatro. Even among indies, people and media will only focus on the most popular products.

Plenty of moral people work for immoral companies all the time. This isn’t some big gatcha as much as it is a complete dismissal akin to the way a C-Suite exec might completely dismiss your opinion.

Can I key off of this Gen AI disclosure like a tag, and auto hide any games that mention it?

I have played Avowed. The gameplay is fine, but the story is so basic it might as well not exist.

It’s such an odd change as someone who’s played and loved Obsidian’s other games. You’re right it’s unreasonable to expect a BG3 or KCD2, but I was expecting at least something on par with The Outer Worlds, which was already a lowered expectation compared to Obsidian’s past.

It’s a shame too, because I feel like the rest of the game is really well done. Graphics look awesome, fighting is fun, character animations looks superb. But the most important thing in my opinion, the story and world building, which obsidian normally knocks out of the park, was a major let down.

Oh not only are you caught torrenting everything on the internet, but you’re also a leech? Talk about a piece of shit.

Also if this holds, piracy is legal. We’ll just all switch to Usenet where you don’t need to seed!
