Oh God, that skill card system is just what I'd feared it would be: a completely pointless system that will add nothing but frustration to the game experience. So the game is encouraging you to take a break from killing zombies (the fun part of the game) and redo your skill card loadout to fit the situation your in. If I want to be as effective as possible, this could mean pausing every time I pick up a new weapon, or every time I encounter a specific zombie. I wish they wouldn't try to be cute with their system and just use a damn skill tree like a normal game.

I hate shit like that too. The whole point of first person games is to put you in the literal shoes of your character--to give you the sense that you're there, carrying out these actions. Fucking around with "skill cards" just kills any sense of immersion. I want my "skills" to be based on how well I actually play the game and react to threats on the fly. It's the same issue with hand-holding, cluttered HUDs that tell you exactly where enemies are, etc. I disable or mod out that shit as much as possible because I want to see what my character would actually see, no more no less.

Hiring should be entirely qualification / skill based.

If there are not enough black developers with the qualifications and skills, then it speaks more to their disinterest in the field (which is fine, they're free to feel that way!) - and not to the hiring practices of dev studios.

Ah, but you are forgetting a central tenet of wokeness!

Lots of people around here would like to pretend that wokeness either doesn't exist, can't be defined, or that it is always and forever a good thing (sometimes all three!) but the ever brilliant Wilfred Reilly, whom we should follow in all things, has come up with a quick and to the point definition of woke thinking. To whit:

Wokism is the belief that (1) all of society is currently and intentionally structured to oppress, (2) all gaps in performance between large groups illustrate this, and (3) the solution is 'equity' - proportional representation w/o regard to performance.

https://twitter.com/wil_da_beast630/status/1561447840978993152?lang=en

In other words--any variation in any outcome that is not perfectly matched to the percentage of a population--i.e. if a given group represents say, 12 percent of the population, then representatives of that group must make up at least 12 percent of (in this instance), game developers, and if they don't, that all by itself, with no other factors considered, is evidence of oppression and discrimination that must be remedied.

That this is a completely absurd way to think is obvious, but it is nonetheless the current dominant ideology and we must all observe its dictates without protest lest we, like James Damore, find ourselves smeared as a bigot and fired from our jobs.

Please realign your thinking to follow the accepted narrative and never challenge it again. Thanks.

Hooray, Vampire Survivors! It’s such a stupid game, and it’s very aware of that, while also having a LOT to discover and unlock. I’ve put maybe 30 hours into it, which is pretty good for a game that was $3 (full price) when I got it. I think it’s like $4 or $5 now.
Just got a tv, finally have a 4K screen. Also HDR10 and quite a few other bells and whistles. Got Ragnarok for Christmas and been waiting until we got this tv to play it, very excited to see it look as good as it can.

Do you have a PC connected to that new TV? Ever since I got mine Windows and HDR have been a bad combination. Windows HDR implementation just doesn't work well or often.

Time for another beer.

No worries, Quinn. I LOL'ed for you as well so now balance has been restored. As for our friends reflexive accusations of hatred and bigotry towards anyone who disagrees with them, the endless complaints that we shouldn't care or post about this subject (only THEY should be allowed to do that!) the name calling ("JK Rowling is a bitch," We're "transphobes," ) etc etc ... I thought I might miss all that if it went away.

As it turns out ... not so much.

so a whiney vocal minority doesn't amount to shit? We may not be doomed after all.


The cultists are not popular. So when people can vote against them, either at the ballot box or in this case, with their wallets, the cultists tend to lose. Unfortunately there are plenty of other situations in which they can't be outvoted. They still completely dominate the mainstream media and they have a huge amount of influence in education, public and private, K-12, colleges, corporations and government agencies up to and including the Biden White House. Sanity won the day in this instance because the public could vote with their wallets and directly weigh in on the "controversy" but more often than not, we don't get any such say.

Between cloutchasers on Twitter and clickbait sites like Kotaku, the controversy has only served to give this game a shitload of free press. Kotaku in particular is pretty amusing over how they cannot stop pushing out massive-ass articles with the most inane non-criticisms of the actual game; all they criticize is "JKR is a turd" or "game mechanics break the immersion of magic not being real". They could go over the technical issues (poor performance in the game's namesake area), low quality filler content, or by-the-numbers simple combat, but instead manage make the game sound amazing and keep giving it free advertising.

Above and beyond everything else, what this shows is how completely removed the gaming media (and really, the media in general) are from the people they're supposedly writing for. They represent and promote a set of luxury beliefs that most people don't share and that are more about signaling their own virtue ("Look at me! I gave the game a bad review! I'm one of the good guys!") than they are anything else. The absolute ubiquity with which they present those beliefs, the near total absence of any deviation from their preferred narrative, is revealing. To say nothing of the bullying and harassment campaign against twitch streamers for even playing the game which they tacitly supported. Will the media change their opinions to match those of the people they're supposedly writing for? Of course not. They'll keep right on keeping on, secure in their certainty that they represent all that is good and just in the world.

As for the witch this cult has repeatedly tried and failed to burn, she is the subject of a new podcast series by none other than Megan Phelps-Roper, who knows a little about cults herself.

Say. Why not give it a listen?

Sounds like this has had you reading a lot of Kotaku.

And then here you are to pipe up as if you weren't part of the exact same chain. He reads something about Kotaku, you read his comment about reading something about Kotaku.

Your "I'm commenting a lot about how you all keep commenting!" schtick isn't quite the killer takedown you think it is, Beamy. Best you can do though, I guess, under the circumstances.

According to Steam reviews, the highest difficulty is paid DLC. The other paid DLC are various one-time save-file locked, consumable boosts.

That's absolutely absurd. An insult to the end user. What's next? Why not make access to the options menu paid DLC?

What's that? You want to change the screen resolution? Well, that's going to cost you a little extra.

I more or less bought a PS4 Pro to play Ghost of Tsushima and a few other exclusives. One of my biggest gaming disappointments and definitely the most over hyped. No samurai game is going to be especially realistic but the devs went out of their way to be as inauthentic as possible and cater to a completely ahistorical, Western view of the time period and history. Even if you could get past the ridiculous New Agey dialogue and characters the melee itself was just boring. Bushido Blade on the PSX had better gameplay! All of which is to say I have low expectations for Like a Dragon but I hope it's better that THAT.

I don't get to worked up about the FOV anymore.

There's a Cheat Engine mod that always gets released and they always have a FOV option in it/. its how I played the new Dead Space. and it was really awesome having a better FOV.

It seems like a weird thing to list as a major, score-changing flaw. I mean, maybe if you have an ultra-wide setup it make sense. I've been resorting to mods since forever to improve FOV since I play a lot of flat games in VR and I just kind of expect mixed results in this area. Be nice if they would include it but it's not a deal-breaker for me. Would be really nice if they included weapon FOV for FP games but I'm not holding my breath.

I too wasn't a fan at all! I'm not even a fan of the lore now per se, but I'm surely a fan of this game 👌I got a bunch of puffkeins running around in my pocket valley called Boogey, Bogey, Pinky and Porky. What more can a grown man ask for? Oh, and a unicorn I named Mielikki.

I know what a unicorn is but other than that I'm at a loss here. Guess it will make sense when I play the game.

This whole time I thought the George Miller who directed the Mad Max series was the same George Miller who directed Man From Snowy River ... so I saw the headline and thought the Mad Max Miller had died ... there should be some law against Australian directors having the same name like that. Too confusing.

Hogwarts Legacy, whoop whoop! GOTY for sure. So much level of detail, good gameplay and just great fun. The Room of Requirements keeps expanding. HL is the game that keeps on giving 🥰

Never got into the books but the game looks solid even if you're not a particular fan of the series--plus my daughter is reading them so might as well get it for both of us. There's also a VR mod for it I'd like to check out.

It doesn't really apply to this show anyway, but even if it did, we all know that the Z word is an offensive slur which should never be used.

The acceptable, agreed upon term is "People of undeadness."
