I know it’s not going to happen, but a Witcher 4 where you’re playing as Letho out in the eastern lands is my absolute dream. He’s a great character with strong main character energy, and he’s also CDPR original content so doing it that way lets them play looser with story and characters without having to trample over the lore.
I remember the good old days of being super excited every time a new PCGamer magazine arrived in the mailbox and you’d get a fresh CD with it stuffed full of the hottest demos to try. Good times.
Impeccable taste, DS1 Great Scythe has such a fantastic moveset. Is it your first time playing?
You said it perfectly. While politically unfortunate given how it will be used, it’s incredible as a photo for all the reasons you mentioned. Great presence of mind to be able to capture a shot this good in the midst of the chaos unfolding.
I was moreso upset at the outdated pearl clutching of the olympic committee and the complete lack of engagement with actual esports, instead trying to… find mobile games tangentially related to existing olympic sports…?
I didn’t know it existed so I had to read up on it real quick. Honestly makes my blood boil a little bit, especially stuff like blanket excluding FPS games because they’re “too violent”. Are we still in the nineties?
Empathy I think it is, about René:
“This is a man with a lot of past, very little present and almost no future”.
Honestly, the Larian writing style and humour would have probably been a better fit for Fallout.
I haven’t read the design docs for Van Buren myself, were there enough in there to actually build a game out of or is this project more fanfiction and educated guesswork?
I also dislike it, but it’s easy to see why. Once something is both this widespread and user friendly it will become increasingly more popular in a positive feedback loop. Easier onboarding is so valuable compared to having to teach people your in-house engine.
I’m afraid we’ll only see more Unreal games in the future.
Spaceballs is a timeless classic.
I hope Lemmy will grow enough to warrant a split like that eventually, but for the moment I don’t think the user base exists.
The main reason F1technical exists on Reddit is that the main F1 sub is so huge that any specifically technical posts would simply disappear, drowned out by all the faff. I don’t think the Lemmy F1 sub is at that point yet, so you’ll probably get more traction for your posts if you just put them here.
…and post my dives into different parts of the regs every other week or whatever.
Please do this, however! I’d be very interested to read that.
Probably won’t do a complete playthrough using this, but would be fun to screw around a bit as Letho and live out my fantasy of him being the protagonist of the next Witcher game.
Ghost of Tsushima is one of the most overrated games of all time. It’s a perfectly fine experience carried by solid combat and high polish, but far from being one of the best games of all time. The writing and acting is monotonously dour and the quest design is uninspiring, which wears you out because the game is also way too long for what little variety it offers. The open world is also your bland, boring, garden variety Ubisoft style.
Romances in BG3 are poorly written and realized and detract from the quality of the game. BG3 in general is merely “fine for a video game” in terms of writing. People also let the game get away with murder in terms of how much it falls apart in the third act.
Cyberpunk 2077 - despite all its flaws - is CDPR’s best game.
It definitely looks like it will be in terms of individual races, and potentially the Constructor’s, given Checo is doing Checo things.
However, we all know everyone only really cares about the driver’s championship. A season can have amazing races, but it’s hard to call it truly great when the winner is known before the halfway mark. And thanks to Red Bull’s headstart and points maximising that is the case here.
I mean, sure, he might have been screwed by the strategy but it was an easy call for the team to gamble at that point because he was still stuck at what, 16th? It’s not like he was making up positions and soaring up the field. His pace was just weak all weekend (again). Just look at his attempt to deny Sainz fastest lap and reclaim it for Red Bull at the end. He was just slow.
Could have been one of the best seasons of all time if Red Bull didn’t get that headstart. Can’t say I called that after Saudi, when it looked like Max would win every race until '26 by 30 seconds or more.
All I know about this movie is this trailer, basically, but I can’t say I’m super keen. The first bit gave a bit of Moneyball, so I was confused when Brad Pitt was in the car himself later. Is he TP or driver? Both?
Regardless, this teaser mostly made me want to watch Rush again.
The season could have been an absolute all-timer with just a few marginal outcomes falling differently. The racing has been fantastic lately, and the development race has been insanely fascinating with constant dynamic shifts - remember Merc being slower than Aston at the start and Ferrari looking like the challenger?
A couple of different outcomes for Norris (safety car luck in Montreal, Max DNFing and Norris not last week, pitting for mediums at the end today etc) and we could have also possibly have had actual tension in the championship table. Imagine a second half of the season where McLaren is clearly faster and Max tries hanging on for dear life.
It’s a shame Red Bulls head start from the first races combined with always maximising their results thanks to their incredible operational competency has given Max enough of a cushion to be fairly safe.
I hope you’re enjoying it, that first blind playthrough is quite magical. First half of DS1 is just a masterclass in level design. No other game has made me so excited to find a shortcut.
