PEAK is literally peak. Such a gem.

The term „AI art“ irks me, IMO it tries to legitimize the virtual theft that it’s based on by implying there‘s a creative, artistic process behind it. It‘s gotta be a lobbied term.

Next do 3 and a buncha Fire Emblem games and I might feel less buyers‘ remorse towards my Switch 2. I don‘t know why there isn‘t a buttload of Switch 2 upgrades, it‘s making money with patches.

Shit‘s been fucking expensive before this year and most triple-A stuff ran like doodoo anyway. Now prices are just even worse and somehow that‘ll make the suits care? At best we‘ll get the same level of bad.

MH Wilds has been out for a year and today‘s patch pushed it to the bottom range of acceptable.

Even if somehow more money was put into engineering now, the argument would still be weak, it‘s naive on its own merit at best.

I‘m pretty worried about my devices, ngl. I never really had a problem with PC components or consoles breaking, I‘m very careful with my stuff, but Murphy‘s law… Something will probably break just outta warranty and when a stick of ram gets me a car

You can go AAA for cheap no problem, people just need to not get FOMO‘d out of their minds and half-resist the compulsion to jump on the next shiny thing immediately.

The newest DOOM is around 27 Euros rn and not even a year old. Buy on release - or worse yet, pre-order - and you‘ll get the worst deal (financially as well as technically).

Game prices are fine for me because I literally just wait until they‘re at a point where I don‘t see them as a waste of money anymore. In the meantime, there‘s 203 untouched games in my Steam library that had reached that price at some point in the past already. Not even mentioning the hundreds of games I got for free between GOG, Prime, and Epic.

Probably not very nostalgia but I wish they‘d pick up where Legends left off, that game was incredible

It wasn‘t meant as a blanket solution for the internet in general, but as a possible solution for high risk environments like Roblox. What exactly qualifies as a high risk environment is up for debate then, but that Roblox would be one probably not.

I wish there was a system where parents get an app on which they have to approve friend requests for their children in these games and only people on their children‘s friendlist can read/hear them and be read/heard by them. And obviously only parents can send out requests. That way, parents could make sure only their kids‘ school friends can talk to them.

Obviously, they can‘t make new friends online then, but that‘s for when they‘re older…

Seems more reasonable and better to me than nothing. Or than scanning kids‘ faces.

Since they didn‘t mention anything (and I assume they would‘ve if there was a change worth mentioning) and they already have the remaster and as such no reason to put money into the chunky version, it doesn‘t seem to be anything that makes the game better. I wonder if there‘s some weird distribution/licensing thing going on and they legally have to rerelease lol

IIRC it had somewhere around 200ms input lag lol

Crusader Kings 3, I know I‘ll look at the clock and get a panic attack, don‘t have time for that time machine right now lol

Yeah, that DLC thing is custom for Steam, they‘re ALWAYS bundled with the main game, there’s no way for devs to not to, it‘s the biggest downside to hunting on Steam.

For me it‘s management stuff. What occupies my brain the most is Crusader Kings 3, always something interesting to do, I can always burn 6 hours on a session easy. There‘s always something to think about but it‘s also pausable.

In 3D games, I need it to be stutter-free and smooth. I instantly see stutters (also because OLED screens flicker when there‘s a stutter) and it instantly takes me out. That’s probably my sole grievance with PEAK - the frequent stutters that take me out of it. I also need good sealing in-ears to shut out my surroundings. Oh, and no TAA blur…

I have a pretty broad interest in game genres, so I can get immersed even in silly stuff like the Henry Stickmen Collection - it just can‘t be sad or dark.

Oh hell ye. I‘ve been eyeing this game for a long time. Imma ask you how you like the game once you‘ve clocked in more hours. Are you planning to 100% it?

My gf and I enjoyed:

Stardew Valley

Core Keeper

These are the good ones (the ones where I felt like she was having a blast) which should run on anything. She’s also not good at games and has a fairly low-powered laptop. Looking back at them I can‘t believe we‘ve played that many lol

We‘re currently playing Schedule I but it‘s so buggy in co-op that I can‘t recommend it…

I mean, it‘s videogames so any challenge that gives you the satisfaction of clearing it is worth it, any that doesn‘t isn‘t worth it. Could mean all of them are, could mean none of them are, and could mean anything inbetween. I‘m an achievement hunter so I go for those, but I‘m not super purist about it; if the challenge is to walk 40000km, I rubberband the controller lol

If you play in offline mode (Steam Deck) Steam doesn‘t clock your playtime IIRC

You‘d think they would‘ve shown more at this point if the release was this soon (assuming it‘s May this year and not next or the year after lol)
