Do we have a "PC upgrade" thread ? Don't want to make an unnecessary and annoying one.
Might as well do it here to make sure I don't.
So it finally sinked in that my 2500K is long past its prime, which came as a shock since the thing was basically unkillable for years.
So I must change CPU. But that mean changing Mobo. And memory. Life is fun like that.
After discussing the move on Discord I came to this configuration, and as a relative tech noob, I would welcome every input on it.

i know, right?So happy these were added btw @lashman
seems very reasonable to me
Just discovered Praey for the Gods and man it looks incredible. Enters early access tomorrow. Might wait for a few updates before I pick it up though.
Is this a fan patch for the already translated EN version?
I might just grab Chaos;Child tonight since they seem pretty confident about the patch.
I'll have to see what it adds.
Y'all know what I'm all about:
So Kingdom Hearts 3 sold around 600,000 copies on PS4 in Japan
RE2 REmake shipped a combined total of 3 million copies worldwide across its platforms.
Look at all that moola S-E and Disney are leaving on the table. Get that KH Collection on Steam asap S-E (or maybe even Epic :V)

After more than 4 years , RIOT is finally quiting Early Access

oh, you'll get it on PC, epic store exclusivelyGive me Kingdom Hearts on PC, dammit...
Wait, the announcement says "Buenos Aires, Argentina – Financial reform protests", but those are pro-abortion banners. I think one of those is wrong.After more than 4 years , RIOT is finally quiting Early Access

Also, it's weird to see my city so accurately represented in a game, haha.
what triggers anger and aggression in protests? oh i don't know?? maybe it's the tear gas and (more often than not live) bullets ???
these "both sides" people are the worst, fuck this piece of shit exploitative dev
he might as well put a charlotsville simulator where you play as a nazi running over people to contemplate how we're all right and wrong
fuck you, do the world a favor and jump off a cliff

ummm, zky ... i don't think you play as the cops in that game ....
or at least that wasn't the case the last time i played it
that's on the storepage and this narrative of protest being police vs rioters as if it's an active battle rather than peaceful protests turned into mad sprints for cover as you get shot by the police because police like to infiltrate protests and trash something to justify shooting you. protesters are literally called rioters in this game, that's such a frustrating both sides way of presenting things, grr
this kind of narrative is super dangerous and irresponsible
in argieland's case it's as rionaa says, presenting pro abortion protesters as rioters that throw molotov cocktails and bombs?
leonard menchiari (thanks for putting your real name you piece of shit) go fuck yourself
way to go spending 4 years making a shitty game and not learning anything on the sensitive topic you think you're being so insightful about
Wonder if they have "blowing off hands with non-lethal grenades" as an action. Maybe blowing heads off is DLC.
OP
just so we're clear on how rotten and frankly idiotic this dev is, his game literally has a mode where instead of idk yellow vests vs police you play as orks vs knights
cos you know, those are interchangeable and it's funny if you're a shit person
I think I've finally found a more cynical and mercenary dev than rockstar
at least the sprite work on the bolsonaro game didn't look this trash

try
even the protests that go violent (often justifiable) aren't balanced competitive games and designing your game in that way makes you a ignorant asshole
either make a serious game or a fun game, you can't do both without misrepresenting the issues you're tackling
try 1978 revolution black friday (I think that was the name?) for a fairly accurate depiction of protests

yeah ... i'd say not everything has to be a video game ... ESPECIALLY stuff like current events ... can't get more current than Yellow Vests ...
we all do
I think you can make a game out of everything, but you're responsible for the politics of the game you're making
you can make a game about beating protesters and have a strong critical message (think of say they movie jin roh), but you need to be mindful of what you're designing
this feels like a game born out of a I don't want to be political mindset which is a fake shield that doesn't cover that the dev is a turd

well from what i understood the main campaigns are basically made of imaginary riots ... so i dont really have single issue with that
and these new ones are challeneges made by different team
but have no clue who team at IVP is
maybe you look a bit too much into it .... its said even in the post that the "real events" ones are made by different team using edito as well as the fantasy one is made by community and main game is generic protester vs generic force
so its not "mode with orks instead of yellow vests" but people changing generic protestors/force for their own "levels"
I disagree because imaginary or not, by the nature of the game, it's contextualizing protest as a battle between forces when in the real world it's very rare it breaks into conflict, let alone a balanced and gamifiable one
by presenting the game like this he and his team are making a political
statement, and a very shitty one at that
nobody forced this dev to make a game about protests

well his experience in some proces forced him to according to storepage
as for gamifiing it ... i need to see some actuall proper gameplay first to see how its done
Source on the Dev's unhappiness?yeah ... the devs don't seem too happy about it either
by the way - nice tag
It sounds like he specifically created it to share their experience with rioting and (maybe) process it in their own way, or at least that was the catalyst. I think the main difference between this and other games which "gamify" real life things (so, CoD, Battlefield, Papers Please, Democracy, Civ, literally hundreds more) is how personal it is to you, because to me it has the same potential and approach as many of those other games and some of them deal with (to me) heavier, much more political issues.
I'm not saying the game is for sure innocent, no political game ever completely avoids being one sided and sensitively covers all the information and emotional weight of their topic, but I'm saying as someone who has been in a few protests (not riots, though) that this game doesn't strike me as egregious compared to any other of those games, just going off the store page.
Honestly I find the CoD games more offensive politically, and I still occasionally play those. They are absurdly heavy handed and don't deal with nuance in the slightest, and belittle a lot of serious problems with our world and struggles.
The KH Remastered Collections aren't on Xbox either, so I don't think it's a matter of foolishly leaving money on the table. It must be some kind of rights/licensing issue. I'd bet more than anything it has to do with music.Y'all know what I'm all about:

I don't agree with personal experience forcing him but if he puts it out there then it's not exempt from critical analysis, specially given its very political subject matter
I'm obviously drawing from marketing content but I'm not gonna spend money on a game like this just to criticize it. they're marketing it as such so that's what I'm basing my criticism on
having a riot scenario editor is controversial on its own right
both sides narratives are the absolute worst and I have nothing but contempt for people that use the medium of games which I believe to be capable of saying so many wonderful our insightful things to perpetuate these toxic narratives that demonize the people actually fighting for change and good

A new classic shmup was just released on Steam:
It may seem a bit on the expensive side, but it apparently includes HD remakes of two other games (Psyvariar Medium Unit and Psyvariar Revision) with additional features, so it's a 3 in 1 package.
I confess I'm unfamiliar with the series, but I'm a sucker for the genre, so I bought it.

I didn't create any of those, I just collected themdon't blame me ... blame Gevin
What about this one
hard to argue which game is worse, I think a game like blops1 in which you could kill a real living person (fidel castro was alive at the time) is pretty rotten as well
I think it's important to hold all these games accountable for the horrible bullshit they're saying, doesn't really matter which game sucks the most

currently - my ass
unless you count Glukhovsky since he also wrote the story for the game so technically is a part of the dev team
Perseus Mandate is not great and to add insult to injury I hit a bug that prevented me from finishing it.Holy cow, Perseus Mandate is ugly as
At least Extraction Point had a LOT of explosive barrels and some reflective mirrors
I made EpicSpy. Turns out from scanning all their publicly available information, no one bought anything. Due to this, launch has been postponed.
And on more serious note, am I only one who would had some interest in Epic Store funded games, but now absolutely does not want to support it at all?

Steam store page was just updated 2019 -> 2020. So one year exclusive I guess.
