Patch size: If their store isn't currently setup to patch individual files in some cases, then patch size is automatically larger for some(all?) games, as they have to replace most or all game files.
If the patcher can't add to/modify a file, they have to transmit an entire file, instead of just the additional content, etc.
Plenty of areas for optimization behind the scenes in any store, but also somewhat game dependent usually.
yeah, delta patching right? steam does a form of this.
that aside, its insane to me that epic spent 10 million dollars to get remedy's game Control on their storefront but there wasn't a dime to spare on the actual storefront, like i still have to purchase games one at a time; or that tim sweeney thinks the best PR is for him to do it himself on twitter instead of spending the money on a fucking PR firm.
they could really have launched themselves as the saviors from steam and been embraced rather than begrudgingly tolerated, but man they can't stop fucking it up. the glowing headlines would practically be writing themselves: what's going on at valve? storefront still a disaster, clogged in thousands of chinese shovelware anime fuck games, and they finally got around to patching half-life 2's blinking bug after 5 years.
oh well. |

Why the fuck was my comment removed I didn't say anything untoward. Why the fuck do you even post these things when you know there's going to be dissent and opposing viewpoints. I said nothing that wasn't 100% true and entirely fair. Or is it you only want the left's POV supported. Change the name to Blue's Echo Chamber if that's the case.
you believed a cop lying about enduring a sniper attack for glory was evidence of the pervasiveness of "malicious rape claims".
you are a very sloppy thinker, bruh. |

i understand that its just part and parcel of the gamer reactionary culture, and having no original thoughts of your own, but i just do not like people thinking that we should move towards this culture where everyone should just "toughen up" and take the hits, and that's some kind of positive thing. the being an asshole all the time, "muh freeze peach", spartan-throwing-the-baby-off-the-cliff lifestyle is not an evolved way to live, and you should be ashamed of yourself for thinking this is an appropriate response to anyone coming forward about this kind of thing. |

WAR ON GAMERS!!!
i'll be the first to say i don't like zoe quinn. she was aptly described as "a lightning rod for drama". but you can really do like 2 minutes of research on the shitter to see she never slept with anyone who ever reviewed a game of hers or wrote about her in any significant way.
stop thinking and acting like a fucking gamer caricature. you have a brain, try forming your own conclusions sometimes. reactionary lemming dipshit.

Look at her second tweet "other people he's hurt". Would 3 be enough to start?
I did not look at her Twitter, but that seems promising. Hopefully they can help.
i think some wires are getting crossed here. the girl accusing jeremy soule is a single person without any corroboration at the moment. i read her story and some of her blogs and don't personally find her very credible.
but another video game composer, Jason Graves, is vocally supporting her on twitter which i find very interesting. i wonder if there was some industry "secret" waiting to coalesce?
if there's anything to it, i'm sure we'll hear more - unlikely someone so allegedly predatory only does it once. for his part jeremy soule has deleted all of his social media accounts. |

I thought the GoT ending was fine. Amazing? No. Disappointing? Not really. I will save any further discussion, so I don't go into spoiler territory.
this is where i'm at. i thought the last couple seasons were a mess but the finale was very fine.
love it or hate it, the good news from game of thrones is we're going to be deluged with expensively produced shows based on good books and stuff for the next two years while everyone tries to be the next game of thrones.
i'm really looking forward to the wheel of time show myself. |

Initially I scoffed at the Pattinson choice but who knows. People were very skeptical of Heath Ledger as Joker before the movie came out and look at how that turned out.
i was thinking how bad i thought hayden christensen was in the prequels but then i saw him in Glass years later and was surprised that he was actually a pretty good actor.
that may not be analogous to the pattinson thing though since george lucas is an awful director of actors. |

Ah, the memories of Wizardry 1,2 and 3 on my Apple IIc...
Shame the IP got picked up and ruined. Wizardry 8 was a really good game that few played. Not easy to learn, but quite rewarding if you did.
I'd like a modern Wizardry game. There are similar games, but they all have annoying aspects that Wizardry games never had.
you actually might enjoy this one if you liked the earlier wizardry titles. sir-tech gave a license to a japanese firm to continue the franchise and their wizardry games are SUPER old-school; they may even hew too close to the early wizardry formula for modern western tastes, but wizardry had a surprisingly big impact in japan, and so you get 80s/early 90s dungeon crawlers with anime art. |

"Why Emotions Can Be More Powerful Than Data"
The same thing applies to the ideology behind Gender Fluidity and Diversity studies: results based on emotion instead of real science.
'transgenderism' is in the DSM-5. is that not real science? i personally defer to the preponderance of evidence rather than picking and choosing what to believe with my feelings. though i'm also not thinking about this so much my neurons immediately begin firing to connect the dots between whatever i've just read, and trans people/minorities; so i can only speculate on what calculus you're using in this matter.
its probably feelings though. its ok. |

romero seems like a chill dude and a really good mapper/designer. it has to burn wanting to nail your first commercial release in ages and getting it fucked up by your third party repeatedly.

Shouldn't that be a 'reboot'?
there's still places to go with the story. the first year of the matrix online was outlined by the wachowskis and it was pretty cool.
that said, this just sounds like idle hollywood scuttlebutt. there's probably 30,000 productions being bounced around at any given time.
its also hard for me to believe that the wachowskis would be given free reign again after a decade of non-stop flops, but who knows, its hollywood and they've certainly done it before. |

devastating : adj weak "This devastating weapon takes 6 shots to kill a rat."
this is a high quality comment, and i assume not a sterling endorsement of the game?
whenever it goes on sale i kind of consider it, as a fan of jank, but i generally like some worldbuilding and content with my jank ie. Spiders Studios games. |

i have never warmed to cell-shaded graphics. i wish i could like it so i could be a Cultured Videogame Man but it just looks terrible at an instinctive level to me.
oh well, its an epic games store exclusive so i'd forget it exists anyway. |

| 7.50 is really not a bad price for homefront, but i wouldn't get it without the singleplayer DLC, which i thought was stronger than the base game in a lot of ways. |

if anyone is looking for a bingeable show, check out Cobra Kai- on youtube of all places. the only thing i don't like about this show is that its only 10 30-minute episodes a year.
no familiarity or interest in The Karate Kid is necessary. i've never sat through a whole karate kid movie in my entire life.
youtube offers a month free of the service that gives access to the show. if you have that available, totally worth it. super glad i boredly checked it out last year after a surgery. |

oh, this is Frogwares, eh? i've put some time into their most recent game, "Sherlock Holmes: The Devil's Daughter". its kind of janky and rough around the edges, and the investigation mechanics... like, when i think about them outside the game, they seem like good concepts, but how they play out in the game is really iffy.

But who cares. Not enough Lovecraft entertainment. I hope one day they'll make a high budget movie about Cthulhu and the island of R'lye.
this is my problem. i'll buy anything claiming 'cthulhu mythos' DNA because i lack good judgement. it keeps burning me again and again, but i can't stop.
this being an epic store exclusive will probably save me this time because i'll probably forget it exists since its not on steam. |
