April 2025 General Game Discussion

I guess something that makes this extra unusual is that there was a warning and then the cheaters went ahead and put their usernames on what is essentially a cheater's list.

I didn't know that. Kind of reinforces the idea they were there specifically to respond to and spite Capcom's warnings, doesn't it?

And, of course I agree that this behavior on both Capcom's part by posting the threat and the cheaters defiant response spoils the game experience for everyone else caught in the crossfire. Just like normal people caught in any war.

So far this year I haven't succumbed to FOMO. In recent years its occurred twice but both times were for headphones that were on special... both were smart decisions long term as I wouldn't buy either pair for their normal prices.
PC hardware I can generally resist... looks at his 7900xt, okay... I failed there too but realistically it worked out well as my card became impossible to get after I bought it... probably still is. I bought it within 4 hours of its release here... so I failed to the FOMO test - I had been waiting to buy a GPU for 6 months so it wasn't a spontaneous buy.
But everything else I wait... the closer I get to a goal the harder it is to resist though. I have to wait 6 weeks now to have money to buy all my parts... every other temptation is being ignored.

I am normally fairly resistant to it... mainly as I didn't want anything and I don't see advertising anywhere

I wish that I had been provided some statistics before I purchased the shovel upgrade (turn my shovel into a drill) in A Game About Digging a Hole. That drill drains the battery at way too fast, and I've already maxed my battery out. Now I have to go back to the surface too quickly. I get more done in that short amount of time, but that's not much of a consolation when I'm trudging my way to the surface.

FOMO just got me, but only as I seen one item that I want for my PC go in and out of stock the last few months, and it was sort of necessary for color scheme in new PC - and its one less thing I need to buy.

having a non white cooler in an all white build wasn't something I wanted.

Funny, I had an uncle say the same thing when I brought a (non-white) girlfriend of mine to a family outing.

well, my GPU will be black with an rgb strip so build won't be all white but I am trying to color match it, and didn't want to mess with replacing ram as well.

After having a black case with dark tinted glass, I want to be able to see into the next one.

without rgb I would see nothing at all inside it.
Only thing that is darker than my current is from a book

Marvin was able to touch the surface of the ship and open up an entry hatchway, and the interior of the ship was completely black. There were black controls labelled in black, on a black background, with a little light that lit up black, which made it difficult to control the ship. The ceiling and walls of the swaying cabin were also black, as well as the seats, control panel, the instruments and the little screws that held them in place.

Spacecraft

A spacecraft is any type of vehicle or machine which has been made to travel through space. There are several types of spacecraft featured throughout Hitchhiker's, most notably the starship Heart of Gold. Zaphod Beeblebrox and Ford Prefect appear to be avid enthusiasts of spacecraft, with both...

Only issues so far which could just be my PC is the antialiasing looks terrible. I have in game AA settings at Ultra, and have consulted Copilot about tinkering with Nvidia Control Panel settings, only for nothing to work. Trees in the distance look very pixelated and sharp, and a lot of edge surfaces n the distance have a weird sparkle/white pixelated effect, making the game look quite bad. I believe this is just something with my PC, most likely some display setting in Nvidia Control Panel, that I need to mess around with and fix. I have seen it in other games but never as bothersome as this.

Would it be possible to play the game at high resolution and have the graphics card downsample to your native resolution? Like DLSS but in reverse.
