I want that one that's like a full paragraph of text

This is from this article about game engines on Steam that Wok posted before:
Before we had a lot of developers using different engine and then maybe trying new things. Now almost everything is either Unity or Unreal, so innovation has to come from them, or as you said, companies like Nvidia or AMD.
So... there is a lot less custom engines out there, and it's also way more costly to try something new.
That's not say they don't introduce new technologies, specially Unreal... but when you are making a general purpose engine you can't really do things that push envelope too much, since you have to keep thinking about the "mainstream market".
While I think things are still evolving, I get what you are saying that there doesn't appear to be anything really new in a while. Well... maybe Raytracing but AMD slow adoption (specially on consoles) really screwed that.
I would like to know how to do art, myself. Coding is interesting but as long as I can’t put shit on the screen…
Choice tomorrow.
Here's a bunch of guesses/wishes regarding the headliner or higher profile indies.
Greedfall
A Plague Tale
Ace Attorney
Yakuza 4
Persona 4
Resident Evil 7
Ace Combat 7
Ni no Kuni 1 or 2
Tales of Vesperia
The Outer Wilds
Troubleshooter
Monster Sanctuary

I dunno about unity. although I don't know how bad it is, but every new feature Unity introduces old features are left to be forgotten and never be supported again.
That means, that if you started a project in certain version of unity, you must stay on that version until your project is finished. New version of unity might break your project. Although this could apply to any engine
It would be only for educational purposes. I don't wanna do game dev, it's not for me.
John Gibson is one of those people who's always been extremely christian, so much so that it affects their games, like not wanting swearing in them and toning them down, christian metal music in Killing Floor 2, no blasphemy etc. It's a real shame seeing him support this anti-women bullshit though not particularly surprising. Funny thing is, this is the most attention I've seen Tripwire Interactive get in a long time, for all the wrong reasons.

There's tons of things! You just have to go looking for them on the tech articles and sites rather than general gaming sites.
Look at the nerdy software engineering videos and conferences, ... dammit now i can't think of examples to give you lol, but yes although many of these features are absorbed into game engines there are tons of atricles and dev blogs about the groovy things game devs do and tech that is invented, used and adapted.
It's just that most people have been conditioned to look for the big flashy pretty shit which glosses over things because people don't read that stuff.
Go find an engine or effects dev and follow their blog or twitter and you'll soon see the clever stuff they do.
There's also a lot of devs who stream their work and brainstorming on twitch and places. Lot's of it is shown after it's been protected by lawyers and stuff because much is done for employers etc but there's definitely tech articles and amazing engineering being done and spoken about.
That applies to any project in any dev environment like Unreal engine or Unity especially large projects. One of the big causes of "Development Hell" is switching engines or engine versions when development is solid and stable. You really don't know what will mess up in your code or workflow if you go changing versions on a big project. You will have a good idea but sometimes it's just not worth the risk or the time it will take to fix or adapt the code is just not worth it. You carry on with the version you have until it's done and then upgrade versions and pipelines and workflows and tools in pre-production on the next project.
I'm guessing Greedfall, Spiritfarer, or Ghostrunner. Ring of Pain as the Humble published title.
I kind of forget what else is out there. I imagine some previous or current Game Pass titles will show up.
Maybe this time I can finally finish a Tales game. I never finish any of them despite owning all of the currently available titles on Steam. 
Here is the list of GamePass games:
Xbox Game Pass Ultimate Games List
Compare all of the games offered on Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and find the next game you want to play.
opencritic.com
I would expect some of these, because they have DLC:
- Wasteland 3
- Neon Abyss
- West of Dead
- Streets of Rage 4

This means little if he still part owner and running things from the shadows, he needs to be bought out of the company.
Nihon Falcom's 40 Years of RPG Glory
From Ys to Trails, we look back on the RPG developer's legacy.

Nothing new about Trails or stuff that we haven't read about before, but Kondo having difficulty beating (Ys I) Dark Fact will always gets a chuckle out of me.

That Uncharted announcement was amazing. Well done Naughty Dog, well done.
Man that emptiness you feel after you've been fully into a game and you finish it.
I still need a week or two after finishing a game.
Yeah I'm worried about him. I hope he's okay
I'm sure he's absolutely fine. Very likely just watching all those anime boxsets he has to get through rather than dealing with us plebs.Yeah I'm worried about him. I hope he's okay
I know in the current pandemic climate it's too easy to assume the worst, but I'm 50% sure lashman is alright and just lurking as we speak. He's still on Discord anyway. Probably just need some time away to decompress like most of us do.
I guess this one is coming too....
I don't know this feeling, never finished a game.
MC is the only place I'm social online, so you guys better stay as awesome as you are because I have no other place to go!
I mean, that in and of itself is not bad IMHO. It shows someone was at least trying to improve the game. (And on modern HW that on its own really shouldn't cause any problems without larger issues elsewhere / in the code).
Same. Never been on facebook, twitter etc. Never even used a forum until a few years ago. I discovered GAF about 6months before it imploded and sort of followed the crowd over to ERA but never really felt like i was part of a community. Then came over to here where i am very happy.MC is the only place I'm social online, so you guys better stay as awesome as you are because I have no other place to go!

Yeah, the user that made those tweets said the same, that it's not a bad thing, but in the case of Sonic Colors Ultimate it may have been overdone in some elements and could have been done more selectively?
The game has several bigger issues other than stutters and long loadings, the stutters/long loadings could indeed be caused by something else.

A new demo has been released for the Sonic 06 fan remake. xd...
So that Tripwire guy has stepped down
Oh I'm 8 hours late, lol

Maybe lashman just doesn’t like us anymore.
Did something happen? I was under the impression that it is his forum.Maybe lashman just doesn’t like us anymore.
He often states that he is an user here like everyone. But I do think he takes care of some of the running this forum.
as to what could have happened, I have no ideas. Maybe something spiraled from wegot a bump of guest from era.
Or maybe he is simply a little under the weather. It happens to everyone. I'm personally extremely glad our friend is in good health and resting a little. His return here will be a joy.
Happy Humble Choice Day.
Might we see Scourge Bringer? Hypnospace Outlaw? Disgaea 4? Bad Rats Show?

Whilst not likely I'd love it to be The Outer Worlds, bought the expansion yesterday off GMG at what I think was a misprice, so gimme that sweet steam key for the main game.
stop mentioning lashman, his notification bell will be bombarded with millions of mentions when he is back
