I JUST WANT TO LOOK UP LITERALLY ANY SEMI NEW GAME ON YOUTUBE WITHOUT DLSS 5 COMPARISON VIDEOS FILLING MY FEED PLEASE GOD END MY SUFFERING

I am very impressed with the lighting in Modern Warfare 4. It’s not using ray tracing but it does use it as a reference, giving it this at times almost photo real vibes to its GI.

Mass Effect 1 to me. It's still the bar I measure all sci-fi games against in regards to world building and themes. I don't care how jank it is, how bad the combat is or even how basic the companions are. ME1 created this world that deserved to be explored more than the few games we got.

Let's honour BioWare's legacy: what's your favourite BioWare game of all time? (And why is it Mass Effect 2?)

What is this? Actual consequences that cost a company more than pocket change? I must be dreaming.

BREAKING: New Mexico judge says Meta must pay $25 billion for deceiving users about data privacy. The company was found to have committed 43 million violations of New Mexico law since n this case stemming from the Cambridge Analytica scandal.

Today has been a very bad day mentally. Sad. When I’m sad I just want to sit and buy games instead of playing them. It’s a really bad habit.

My grandma’s cat Ghost passed away today. His kidneys went out and they had to put him down… He was old, like REALLY old, and he lived a good life being spoiled beyond belief. Gonna miss him when I visit next time.

Literally the only good news I’ve had all day.

If these prices turn out to be true I’m for sure tapping out. Also if Playstation arrives at the same price.

Always weird when people argue the few € for additional discs prevent proper physical releases. Just pass it on the consumer like Nintendo does. Their games are notoriously more expensive and less likely to drop in price. Yet they have the highest physical split of all platforms.

I know it's probably just bots but if any "AI Engineer" follows me without any real interactions I will block you. Don't come here and try boosting your visibility. We are not on the same team.

Oh god, the redheaded one moves its head like it's in a Bethesda game. Feels like I'm stuck in Starfield.

This is some Black Mirror comedy shit. YouTuber filmed a job interview where two AI avatars did the talking instead of him. At one point, the dude walks out, and the AI keeps going without him. The end is even better - the avatars get stuck in a loop and start saying goodbye to each other forever.

Question: How many shitty Amazon Smart Microwaves, Google Nest pucks or mom’s ancient windows 10 laptops does it take to match just one of the data centres needed to run Claude?

Sort of a trick question as most smart devices barely have any compute at all and mostly call home to a data centre to do jack shit. As for most people’s home computers and laptops; the vast majority of the PCs worldwide lacks any sort of hardware to run modern AI no matter how much it splits.

The biggest downgrade in Gears of War Ultimate Edition/Reloaded is the rain… it’s pathetic compared to the 360 original. I have no clue how they took one of the greatest rain levels in gaming and turned it into… this?

I mean LOOK at the 360 version. It’s amazing. The water is pooring down the walls and the rain is truly soaking the level. Still looks so cool.

Witcher 3 on the PS5 feels almost fixed now. After turning off the bloom it’s not nearly as washed out, even in the RT mode. The only real problem left are the autosave stutters, which are mitigated but not gone.

Last Gears of War spam, I promise. Just had to share a few screens from the game's early chapters before I lend it to a friend. It looks so good and moody during the first night in the campaign. (Quality Mode, Series X)
