Never heard of Gujian 3 before the steam sale, picked it up for $5. Not a bad game.

5$ where? On steam? Because it was never 5$ on steam.. ;/

This is why I cut my fruits like a man.. with a big knife and not those toy thumb shavers ;p There ain't a good reason to endanger yourself with those things. Eat your fruits in blocks, and especially apples have to be de-cored anyway so you might as well do it properly.

561mb sounds bloated, then I look at my relatively new Corsair mouse's iCUE bullshit 'drivers' which are over 1gb. I fucking hope there is some good tracking software in there, reporting to some shadowy corporate/government entity, damn.

For that download size it ought to make cookies and pet you regularly.

But yeah, I wouldn't even complain if it increased by 200mb just to give us a dark mode for their stupid control panel... because I always get eye cancer when that thing pops up.

Hades is also a narrative driven rogue lite... can work, this one though.. when recording your trailer, maybe make sure your game doesn't have random hangs?

Haha, and that C&C pack just reminded me of downloading the ~10MB demo late at night cause it took forever on 28.8k dialup and I wasn't allowed to tie up the phone line for that long. Now it's "60GB? Eh, no big deal."

Yeah, but speaking of these drivers, does anyone know why I no longer have an Ansel hotkey? It just displays "Ansel enabled" but it doesn't show a hotkey.. wtf?

Ps.: I still consider 80gb (Death Stranding) a big deal. I don't have that much space on any SSD right now.

Go to modders page click BLOCK
Problem solved

Why this had to lead to a ban of the entire discussion topic (on the Nexus) is beyond me.. don't like it don't download it, and use the functions the Nexus gives you to moderate your own modding lists. Apparently the discussions on the Nexus got.. quite heated

Ps.: Since I can't post this on the nexus, I post it here. I was just about to write something in the topic there when it was locked. This is the first time I ever saw an entire discussion area locked on the Nexus.. blegh. Modders can do whatever the fuck they want imo. Just in case it wasn't clear.

Only 561.45 MB for.. a graphics card driver.. phew.

You didn't read the article did you.
First sentence *"An increasing number of people are upgrading their PCs in order to play videogames..."

Would the average office working person know what GPU to buy to have good FPS though? ;p

... only to discover that without a discrete graphics card it's a real pain in the ass ...

Facebook vehemently condemned... and yet .... the people who did the meetings the last 2 months with Zuckerberg said "waste of time, he plans to do nothing and all he spouts are PR blurbs"

I feel conflicting reality distortion feels approaching. One might even call the blog post by Facebook..
*Gasp*
FAKE NEWS

All I see is a bunch of health code violations

Let's see...

Masks? - Nope
Distance? - Strangers on a platform
Barriers? - thin air
Restrictions to amount of staff on scene? - shows scene with 30 contestants, wearing no masks and keeping no distance

Clearly EA is doing a "Who can catch Corona the fastest" competition here.

Actually I am baffled how PBS or EA got this even recorded

Am I blind? US only apparently.

I love that in their platform listing they can't list "PC" because of this. That is all.

Oh the trailer? Yeah.. there was one. It was there. I watched it.. what it was about? A wolf splinter cell agent and a bad 3rd person brawler element...

The last Test Drive game I played was such a strange experience, horrible car physics, even worse when you go fast (you'd think that's the point but meh) but at the same time, you could build your own place up buy garages and do a lot of random stuff.

It always felt less like a racing sim, and more like a "just sit in a car and chill while driving" sim. Very strange game.

F1 racing, the best racing.

Is the car green because of 7Up, or because of Fujifilm? Inquiring minds.

The stripes are indeed from the 7up sponsorship, Fujifilm was the reason for the ground car color (darker green) original sponsor, 7up joined later, so they added those stripes, not just to the car, but also the uniforms. Before the 7up deal, the car was entirely 1 shade of green.

Ask a question about F1, of course a European is going to know the answer.

Well, when you ask about Schumacher related stuff at least, it's what I grew up with. ^^

I would say I am surprised. But I am not. I fully expect Zuckerberg to flap around the "but it is TOTALLY free speech" card like a flaccid dingus attached to a beaten dead horse. Empathy? Logic? Morality? Zuckerberg don't care. He will hit you with said dingus until you see it his way or you be silenced by his cancel brigade fanhamsters. Would be a shame if Facebook aired ads targeted ONLY at your electorate eh... or if only certain people (or maybe only you) see an political influencing ad that you think everyone sees (which has happened in the UK FYI, with Corbyn). For everything Facebook made better, there is list of 100 things it has made worse. Much worse sometimes.

Like facebook spreading fake news about Covid-19.. but Facebook don't care. Even now they don't care. Until everyone stops paying for ads this will not stop.

Well, this is disappointing, trying to charge full price for the game. and I'm betting those of us that own it already will not be getting any kind of loyalty discounts. I own the collectors edition already, I just cant see myself paying full price all over again for a game I already own. Now had they added Coop to this, it would be a instant sale, but!

Sorry, but this one going in the deep sale bin.

It was always in the 75% sale bin for me...

I got finally around to playing Titanfall 2.. and what an amazing campaign that was. Pure action, super detail level... got all the helmets and finished it on master.. in 8 hours. Man. Glad I paid only 5€ for that

I didn’t get all the helmets but it’s one of very few campaigns that I finished and IMMEDIATELY knew I’d want to play through again. Just fucking fantastic and EA murdered it by releasing it alongside the FAR more heavily advertised Battlefield 1.

If you are reading this and somehow have NOT picked up Titanfall 2, do yourself a favor and grab it during the summer sale. It’s not a long campaign, but it’s rock solid, with a couple masterpiece levels and the rest standing at well above average.

I only got it for the campaign. Wish I could say I wasn't spoilered, but I was from speedruns. It truly was a campaign experience worth that money though, insane set-pieces, and breathtaking levels. And yep, took me a while to get around to it, but it was worth it. But very short - I can understand why, the production quality was insane.

“You can love or hate the game and share your thoughts about it. Unfortunately too many of the messages I’ve been getting are vile, hateful, & violent,” the director said.

You just said you can hate it. Threats aren't acceptable, but vile? Vile is a matter of perspective. Obviously some people find your game vile and reacting accordingly.

We could just talk about Laura Bailey's events where people wish death by cancer on her parents, the desire to kill her kid, or even the basic death threats simply because people don't like the character she voiced.

Yea, if you don't find any of this vile, then mayhap you're part of the problem.

Exactly. People who threaten Laura "National Treasure" Bailey are animals and even below that sometimes. She is one of the kindest funniest most awesome people in the industry and nothing ever, literally NOTHING warrants a death-threat to someone who just does their job playing a character in a video game.

Not just is it vile, it is a crime. And these people should go behind bars or a psychiatrist hospital.
