I'm glad I don't care much for open world games.
I'mma polish up some backlog stuff... Starting with those FF pixel remasters.

Speculation is they changed some info or logged in from somewhere and triggered Twitter security or maybe the social media manager did delete it? lol
Rumor is they tried to change the birthday of the account for the upcoming 20th anniversarry, and that triggered an auto-policy inside Twitter to delete it without warning lol. 
Read the comment above. Lock it to 59 fps from NVIDIA control panel.
I'm looking at the Steam Deck video and there is a lot of information that was shared.
So all the "dev kits" that have been sent out are actually prototype Steam Decks and not really final build stuff (that would explain some stuff). So some of the stuff that some devs might day about how there are issues with some aspect of it may have already been fixed?

Being a fan of BG&E has been fucking hard mode for two decades now
I still sometimes hum the propaganda music that played when you installed the game. Just pops into my head out of nowhere.
Home Sweet Home has been my ringtone through the ages.
The Rockstar Launcher situation is I believe an example of what I was saying in my discussion with C-Dub regarding buying games on other launchers:
My main problem with buying games on other launchers supported by big companies is that none of them truly respect their customers. The only reason they are in the digital distribution/game launcher business is because they want to collect 100% of the money while providing the absolute bare minimum of service to customers. Sometimes even the absolute bare minimum is too high of a goal for them. They just don't care. They operate with the mindset that they can get away with anything as long as they have a game people want. It's up to us to prove them wrong and demand more.
I am kind of glad I have moved away from the AAA side of games. Between the whole clusterfuck of the GTA remasters, the slicing off of content for exclusivity deals (yeah I’m stilled not happy over Spider-Man in avengers) and there insistence on launcher idiocy (launchers within launchers, not being able to launch games because you fucked up the release of another game).
On a more positive note, from what I have played Let’s Build a Zoo is a cute looking and decent sim. Did hit a couple of minor annoyances like water for animals not being in any of the main build menus. Although I think a tweak or two to the tutorials could fix that.
Also went back to Dorfromantik and hadn’t realised that some tweaks have been made to the creative mode. The dropper bottle is great, allows you to copy a placed tile and put it at the top of the stack. still probably my game of the year.

Well, the article was released November 10th, so one day before the delay announcement.
Would be a bit weird if they had to acknowledge now it's not coming in 2021, without finding a replacement for it on their list of best inventions for this year.
It'll be revealed in a few hours. Excited for Monday.
Yeah, this.
This was always my Argument.
When someone asked "Why do you trust Valve and not the other companies."
- I didn't, at first. I avoided Steam until 2010 it was half a decade old at that point and I slowly came around.
- It is their main business and not a side-project
- They are privately owned by a dude that loves PC Gaming and is/was a visionary about PC Gaming in the digital age, I will be concerned if/when Gabe steps down and Valve gets a new owner or goes public. VERY concerned. Sure, Epic is also privately owned, but the majority holder is a business shark asshole, and the minority holder (tencent) is a massive conglomerate.
- I get the FEELING that the consumer and his experience is top priority, and catering to the devs/pubs second, while other storefronts and especially EGS (because it is also third party) Customers and their store experience are an afterthought.
The most tragic thing about the GTA shit is they took down the sale of the old games. Once key sites run out these trash remasters are gonna be the only way to play those classics moving forward for generations of young gamers. If licensing is an issue they need to scrap the music (and wtvr else) from the old games and put them back on sale. That is not how to do things and only just pissing all over your own legacy.
This whole GTA mess is my disappointment of the year. I preinstalled San Andreas and was counting down the days, but now will just uninstall without even testing it.
Downloading the BF2042 trial on EA Desktop App via Xbox Game Pass app through my Ultimate sub (writing that mess lol). Didn't realize I had that trial until now, at least I can get to test the game out.
Also, the EA app is absolute shite. It's worse that Origin and I hated Origin so much that I never even bothered to activate a Squadrons key I received for free because I had to download Origin for it.

most likely all he had to do was ask first , submit later ..... and not sumbit without asking and then rant
yeah but then you're playing the twitter game wrong
Isn't this what usually happens if you use someone else's trademark without asking for permission? Since he's neglecting to mention the details I doubt he did ask for any form of permission. Could also be that it's a paid product, which would mean they will not allow any mention of their IP in the title.
To my admittedly untrained eyes, Win11 HDR handling seems to be all kinds of busted, unfortunately.
You activate HDR and the first thing you realize is that it applies to windows globally, so say hello to blowtorch mode. You get used to it, no big deal. Then you notice that the blowtorch effect isn't always present, the monitor seems to still acknowledge the HDR so meh, ok I guess.
Then you discover that sometimes, on a single page of Meta for example, the blowtorch effect comes and go depending on where you are on the page.
I was beginning to really like HDR, even on my 400 nits monitor.
Can't you do something right with windows for once Microsoft ?

This is similar to them not wanting "X:Source" back in the day for some mods (ala Half Life Source ->Black Mesa)
yup the usual #fuckvalve jurnou crowd (that "bylines at RPS/PCG/PCGN/ArsTehnica/...") jumped on this post super quickly spewing their usual crap

As a massive BG&E fan if the sequel cancelation turns out to be true it might be the best news the "franchise" can get. Let's be honest, do we really want current Ubisoft to handle the game? It'd most assuredly be another formulaic open world collectathon like all their other games but with a different skin, without any of the soul and heart that made the first game so great and memorable to this day.
It's better that the "franchise" dies. We had one great game, with great characters and world, so let's remember it like that. Not all great things need sequels or continuity.
Cool. I can't access the bios anymore. Well I could a little earlier but I didn't really need to. Now that is the case, nope. No bios on boot, no bios on advanced boot, and pretty sure if I just spam DEL the PC enter some freeze.
The joke is that I need to enter bios to fucking flash it to the last version that supports Win11 (yeah, I'm surely to blame in this shit).
I don't know about the kingdom of Denmark, but my PC, man...

There is so many Elden Ring videos on Youtube and people are streaming/discussing this test.
Its so hard to avoid everything. I kind of caved and skimmed through the 15 minute gameplay vid mostly pausing and looking at still images from the presentation. Everything looks so amazing.
3 more months of this shit Why do you have to do this stupid network test FROM. This is painful.

Are you fucking kidding me Microsoft ? I think I have a lead about where my bios went.
If I'm right that's good news, but giant motherfucking clownshoes.

Ok, so the good news is Microsoft is still king of the hill when it comes to stupid. Turns out my bios was alive and well... on the FUCKING 4K TV set.
Incredible.
So yep, unplugged the hdmi and now all is well.
But wait, there is more !
M-Flash, the bios utility that handles, well, flashing, and windows, don't seem to recognize my usb to micro sd adapter.
This is purgatory, no other explanation.

Agreed. I don't think current-day Ubisoft would be up to the task. Not to say there aren't talented and creative people there, but the game that BG&E2 deserves to be just isn't getting made under their current corporate strategy. Same for Rayman. A series close to my heart, but that ship has also sailed it seems. At least it went out on a high note. Legends is almost infinitely replayable.
Which screen is chosen to display the BIOS is not related to Microsoft at all, it's the graphics card that is responsible for picking the output that will display the BIOS.
Technicalities ! You can't calm my righteous anger !
Or something.
Third attempt, I installed the MSI shit that comes with so many apps, to use the included Bios Update function !
It then evidently goes to 99% then say accessing windows installer is impossible.
If you installed it as an admin then you'll probably need to run it as admin too. Right-click and RunAs Administrator.
If it's anything to do with the BIOS etc then Windows will probably require elevation for admin rights.
It's been ages since i used MSI Tools tho.

agree, the iteration of the project that was announced in 2017 simply isn't worth mourning. as a fan of the original, I certainly didn't want the sequel to be a multiplayer open-universe GAAS with a mix of handcrafted and procedurally generated content, and even if I did, what was promised in 2017 was so ludicrously ambitious that I recall thinking even at the time that it was unlikely to ever ship.
there are plenty of indie and medium-sized devs making modestly scoped, single-player action-adventure games. they may not have the BG&E IP attached, but c'est la vie
Based on the picture, what failed to update was the chipset driver. The BIOS is something different.Technicalities ! You can't calm my righteous anger !

When it comes to the chipset driver, unless you're using a laptop, it may be better to get it directly from AMD's website.
Thank you, I knew I was in over my head. Always good to have confirmation that something you do is wrong.
No, seriously.
According to rockstar sources, this is how gta trilogy came to be.
Before Sweet enters the house to shag his dirty whore, he decides to work 5 minutes on a shady remaster project. Which is more than enough time for renowned software engineer he is.
To be clear and I guess stop with this mega OT, I was just trying to update the bios (so yeah, not the chipset, I'm dumb) following the alternate option in the documentation of the B450 Tomahawk.
There are 3 possibilities -
- M-Flash (but my SD to USB adapter seems to be dead, windows detects it but no drive appears most of the time, and even then the bios doesn't recognize it)
- Live Update 6
- Flash Button (that only works with FAT32)
So I tried installing MSI Center which includes Live Update. But it failed. And I tried to install the wrong shit anyway.
Edit - Ok fuck everything. In the FAQ for the motherboard they specify that you have to use M-Flash.
I have no USB Storage unfortunately. I guess I could simply buy a small one on Amazon, but I have the awful feeling that, plot twist, it's not the adapter that doesn't work. Well, it's 10 something anyway, no big risk.
