I'm sorry to hear that. So where do you play games? And where do you sleep? :eek:
As Wok mentioned, I usually play and work on my computer in Starbucks or libraries.:D I sleep at a shelter so it isn't too bad. On a waiting list for an apartment now at least.

no wonder - since you're spending all your money on stripclubs

smh
Hey now, only reason I did that is because I don't have rent to pay.:p might as well enjoy whole I can since soon I will have an apartment and then have bills to pay.

If I recall right, at Starbucks. At least for the question about playing games.
That's right!:D actually quite nice, since the coffee is good enough and I get free refills.:D

Tried some Supraland. Game is good but performance isn't the best.


Tree dev's GDC talk. Certainly impressive for one dude, too bad it didn't work for you.

--
Going by the credits it wasn't just him but impressive for a small team nontheless. Not enjoying shitting on games. I just found the same hooks I often see to give you the feels and found it off-putting.

It's sad how so many sites keep writing articles defending Epic's moneyhats.
And all of them are writing the same nonsense and straight up lies:

  • "The only difference for the end-user is having to launch their game through Epic Game Store instead of Steam."
  • "This is what it takes to compete against a titan like Steam "
  • "For gamers, it’s a massive pain to find something decent in the ocean of junkware and asset-flips that flood the store on a daily basis"
  • "Valve’s incredibly large cut out of game sales "
  • "Valve could continue to sit back and let the money roll in without putting any effort whatsoever into improving their product"

Source

Again: what the hell is wrong with these journalists? These articles read like sponsored Epic PR, written by someone who isn't a pc gamer in the first place. And it's not only hardcoregamer who publishes this nonsense: it's every damn game site out there!

What's going on here?

Ge0force It's an opportunity for me to unwhitelist a bunch of sites on Adblock which is handy as when i visit them from a link and they bug me about Adblock i'll remember why they got blocked in the first place and go elsewhere.

It's also reminded me that regardless of how often i dip my toes into the mainstream waters every few years something happens to remind me that i will forever be a niche in this hobby and that's fine with me. I'm not really a AAA or AAA-Indie gamer so i don't particularly feel i'm missing out unlike some.

I also suspect that some of these fluff pieces are mandated by Epic PR seeing how they all sound the same.

My housemate loves Gran Tourismo and watches Jimmy Broadbent who also races using Assetto Corsa and a couple of other sims as well as reviewing DLC cars and tracks for these games.


Fek me, Assetto Corsa has come a long way since the early Tech Demo days!

Great idea. Sorry for bothering you. 👽
No, it's actually a bad idea. Megathreads, or in this case, a special thread just for one topic to "vent" about is bad. Everyone should know about the newest shenanigans from epic and their support team. If I have to endure the multiple page long happy birthday congratulations then you can endure news about fuckery with our hobby.

(My birthday was at the beginning of the month and I said nothing, hah, take this!)

I was looking at Supraland Steam page, wtf is that disclaimer:
Disclaimers and Limitation of Liability

Any warranty against infringement that may be provided in Section 2-312 of the Uniform Commercial Code or in any other comparable statute is expressly disclaimed by SupraGames and Epic. SupraGames, Epic, and Epic’s affiliates do not guarantee continuous, error-free, virus-free, or secure operation of or access to the Epic Materials. This paragraph will apply to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, neither SupraGames, Epic, Epic’s licensors, nor its or their affiliates, nor any of SupraGames or Epic’s service providers, shall be liable in any way for loss or damage of any kind resulting from the use or inability to use the Epic Materials or otherwise in connection with this Agreement, including but not limited to loss of goodwill, work stoppage, computer failure, or malfunction, or any and all other commercial damages or losses.

Agreed. But if it's bothering certain people, it may be best to talk about it in other threads than this one. That doesn't have to be a megathread; we can make a new thread for every significant issue.

Happy birthday by the way :D

Also Katana ZERO quick look, game looks really cool:

I'm all for a happy birthday thread but people don't want it apparently and prefer to congratulate in here; so I guess I wouldn't understand why we would have to post actually news about our hobby in separate threads.

Ge0force Games journalists are part of the games industry. They are not an independent party that covers the games industry, they are part of it. Many of these journalists aspire to work for major publishers as PR mouthpieces or community managers. Expect nothing from them.

Beat Sekiro, seems like everytime I complain about a boss I win immediately after :disapproval-blob: Fun game, not sure if final boss was my favorite fight but it's one of the better ones.

Gonna clear a few things or farm some materials or something before moving on to new game+

I do agree that sometimes one just wants to forget about epic nonsense but when it comes up in ones podcasts and they are do damn bitter about it, it gets little much.

Cabaret Clubs >>>>>>>>>>> strip clubs
Oh I wholeheartedly agree! But I try to explore abit, saw a sleezy Peepshow kind of place and couldn't resist.XD

So I've been playing Metal Gear Rising since some of you peer-pressured me into doing so. I'm not at all into that type of game but I have to say that I am enjoying it so far. Luckily the game's challenge is at an ok level for me (which means that on Normal it's low enough for me to be competent without getting frustrated). It took me a while to understand some of the game's systems but once everything clicked I started getting into a decent rhythm. All in all, fun game.

Anyone played Supraland to the end? About an hour and a half in and at ~15%

Don't think I will get everything but how long does it take to get through?

Finally requested deleation of my Epic account. I've had it for a few years because of the Unreal Engine and figured I'd use it to claim the free games if I already have it anyways (which I stopped some weeks ago), but I really don't want to be part of their bullshit stats they use to spin themselves as a success.
Good riddance.
