@Colif I've got lots of thoughts regarding the whole Xbox management shakeup. Sarah Bond, the outgoing president, apparently was so hardheaded on the "This Is An Xbox" marketing campaign that she effectively turned her employees against her. They told her so many times that they did not like...

If I had no moral compass, I sure could rake in tons of cash with a few simple prompts. I doubt OnlyFans regulates AI accounts, it makes them money in the end.

https://www.pcgamer.com/hardware/graphics-cards/games-that-use-vulkan-can-now-use-fsr-4-upscaling-thanks-to-the-latest-optiscaler/ My RX 9060 XT is the first AMD GPU I've bought in close to 15 years. I was very happy when FSR Redstone was finally announced last December but I was also shocked...

Either you're one big hunk, or you've attracted the attention of bots. Not sure which is more preferable. Still plodding along in Starfield. The load screens are starting to get to me, but that just means I need to spend more time exploring planets and not flying through space. The...

Not sure how to give website feedback but the news feed is being wonky. It doesn't always display the newest articles. It shows articles from two days ago, but when I refresh my browser then it shows up. Same thing when I'm in the News tab, I'll be on one page showing me the latest articles...

After bashing on Starfield a lot last week, I inadvertently grew a desire to revisit it. I saw one of my good friends on Steam picked it up recently, and that gave me the drive to boot it up. I now have someone to talk about it with directly. So far I'm about 6 hours in and... I'm actually...

Slightly off topic, but I absolutely love Blendo Games. One of the best indie developers in my opinion. I went through his whole gameography a few years back and picked up Skin Deep last year. Idiosyncratic would be a good word to describe him. Keep the GoldSrc energy going and play some Gunman...

I took a look at the paid mods for Starfield and was pretty baffled by this: https://creations.bethesda.net/en/starfield/details/2bf6d52d-e3a3-47e8-be71-4fa9d44ce4e7/ The Chronomark was supposed to be an integral piece of gameplay, much like the Pipboy in Fallout I presume. It was featured...

You're not wrong. Bethesda makes the same style of games without innovating too much because the reality is that they sell like crazy. That's why I say I don't believe player expectations are unreasonable, they're unrealistic. They won't make significant changes to their core game design because...

These three statements sum up my thoughts on Starfield. It's fundamental game design choices that make me and most players dislike the game. Boring quests, robotic characters, unintuitive fast travel and space travel systems, uninspired story, thousands of planets but all extremely empty, these...

That's how I viewed it as well. There have been scientific studies on the effects of these materials, but this is not one of them. I didn't bother to go to their website to see their methodology used to come to that conclusion. However, I do think it does open up a conversation about the...

PCG was just singing it's praises with multiple nearly back-to-back articles on it. It seemed fishy to me... the tech is impressive, a cool innovation, but new tech brings old problems. Needs more time to iron out the kinks.

https://www.pcgamer.com/hardware/earbuds-headphones/new-research-claims-pretty-much-all-headphones-contain-toxic-chemicals-that-may-be-migrating-into-our-bodies/ Interesting. We've known BPAs and other similar plastics were bad for a long time and are linked to many health issues. At least in...
