Don't ever feel the need to, baby! I know you know i love poking fun on the activity feed, but it's never more than that, lashman!
Completely unrelated to PC, but can Google quit making weird updates to mobile Chrome and Android. There is so many weird, supposedly QoL updates that interfere with basic tasks.
Just a opening a link has now become a weird tab within a tab. Like who asked for this? Now when I try to open a text, it wants to open a picture in picture window ontop of what I am viewing rather than taking me to directly to text messages. Or how use to be able to easily copy 2FA codes from the notification, now it fumbles here and there, sometimes directly taking me to text messages.
Ay dios mio...

It took me a while to fall in love with Dying Light. But it's definitely the best zombie game I've ever played!
Android browsers are a pain huh.Completely unrelated to PC, but can Google quit making weird updates to mobile Chrome and Android. There is so many weird, supposedly QoL updates that interfere with basic tasks.

I was using Chrome way back, but then switched to Firefox (I can't actually remember the reason though), and then Firefox fucked up monumentally a while ago and had an update that made it basically unusable, so currently I'm actually using Edge.
Expecting that to have a fuck up down the line as well eventually, and then to the next browser we go...
Star Citizen Developers Fed Up After Being Expected To Work During Devastating Texas Snowstorm
Last month, the entirety of Texas ground to a halt after a colossal winter storm pushed the state’s cordoned-off power grid to the brink. Power and heat outages, as well as resulting food and water shortages, led many businesses to temporarily shut down. This included a large number of Texan...

Additional tweet from a QA tester, so it's not just a statement by the PR guy
It's actually full of shit. The media has a strong bias against this game, for some reason. This isn't the first time stuff has been made up either. There was an entire article based on fake employee cards and the editorial quality of this one doesn't exactly tickle a Pulitzer either.Star Citizen Developers Fed Up After Being Expected To Work During Devastating Texas Snowstorm

I'm getting pissed at it therefore will provide quotes of those who came forward because everyone and their mother just seems to be frothing at the mouth, waiting eagerly to get in their witty "scam" comment. I'm especially tired of it considering that this is one of the few studios pushing tech, innovation and remaining seemingly laid-back in the process and taking their time without overworking their employees.

Kraiklyn @Kraiklyn1This is weird to me. No one on my team had to use PTO at all, and I felt that CIG was extremely flexible/understanding. In fact, I just asked a load of people on the team about this and it confused everyone. Unfortunately, I think this is an outright lie.
Everyone I'm checking with was "told to clock in as if they had worked, and to focus on personal safety first, not work." If legitimate, maybe a localized issue within a single team, which should and was likely already handled. Damn, got to get those clicks though, right?Man facepalming(2/2)

I can only speak for myself here, but as someone who's worked for multiple studios throughout my time in the Games Industry, CIG absolutely treat it's employees the best. By a county mile.
I adore working where I do, and that's not something I can say I've felt for my former Games Industry Employers.

I know, mate. I loathe the recent changes google have made to the android Chrome layout . I've dumped it and switched to Bromite.

Oh nice, I will have to check that out. I was trying mobile Firefox, but it is a bit clunky too.
Thank you!
Well this will be interesting. I mean Kotaku isn't usually the best and brightest to start with. But I did think, even when Schreier was there, that they wanted to stand out by having a huge pro-union bent, and I wonder if that sort of lowers the bar for what they consider news and fact, so long as it whistles their tune.
That's not how this works. That's not how any of this worksit's always Tuesday somewhere
I'm always curious with this sort of situation, Does someone like Schreier or similar talk to around 10 employees or hundreds in a studio that can have 1000 people , or when something like this is said do you base it on 2 or 3 people who can collaborate the story as back up and that's good enough. Then in that sense if someone like Kotaku spoke to 2 or 3 people who love the studio would they do a positive article?
I just know from the many places I have worked, there will always be people upset, or not like a decision of a company. Obviously not wanting to take anything away if most of the studio is genuinely unhappy.

Gonna be a long walk for someone with two different shoes on.
There's a degree of quality. Shreier has actual sources, albeit disgruntled, but doesn't know much about gamedev, thus lacks the knowledge to provide context and make sense of the employees' complaints. It's still more or less rooted in fact. I also like to believe that, as you imply, he talks to enough people to see a pattern, but these days I'm not so sure anymore. Again, you're quite right that sifting through the normal noise is part and parcel of the journalism involved in the job, but... Well, with the EGS you've seen how much of that is actually going around in the games industry.
Then there's Kotaku/Escapist grade of stuff which is ridiculous. I'm pretty sure they quoted Smart as a source at some point and demonstrably made stuff up :/.

I've been using Brave on android for quite a while, initially because of its built-in ad blocker. It seems alright, also based on chromium. I should take a look at Bromite as well.
I need a second monitor to play Loop Hero on

Took a look at Bromite, looked familiar so I wondered why I had chosen Brave over it. Turns out the reason is that Android's autofill doesn't work with it so I can't use password managers easily with it.

Sounds nice at first, but without regional pricing and proper payment methods for players in the region, it's useless.
Far as I understand, each animated adaptation is best treated as its own separate thing, which I am OK with. Pirotess appears in the OVA correct?The primer is the 1990 OVA, yes.

But sadly it list millions dlcs for Train Simulator. Is there any way to hide dlcs for certain games?

Last weekend I completed Yakuza 2 and I have now moved on to Y3.
Man it's brutal. It's not even like a step back in terms of graphical fidelity... it's like multiple bus stops back. The worst thing is how stiff the "animation" looks.
Thankfully the storytelling and the "acting" are still excellent.
One last thing about Y3's graphics... Kiryu's true self is being a bald man... as revealed by his shadow (why??? just fake the hair shadow! At the very least for the main character... is this a glitch from the remastered collection?).

Artifact Foundry - Patch - 03/11/2021 - Steam News
Store Page The link to install/play Artifact Foundry now correctly installs Artifact Foundry rather than Artifact Classic UI Moved mana display from on top of the hand to the bottom-right and top-right corners Bugs Fixed a bug where mana would sometimes be hidden during deploy and never reappear...
Bought this as i remember some people here saying it was good...
Also Shadow tactics is cheap at the mo for those who haven't tried it. Great game.

I've been using Firefox on Android for a decade or so now. The simple reason is that I just can't deal with the internet without complete ad-blocking.
The update took a bit of getting used to, but it's actually not so bad in terms of usability now IMHO. Stuff like having the navbar at the bottom initially seemed very silly but ultimately works better with the way I hold my phone.
Yeah, I can imagine. When I eventually get to Yakuza 2 (still playing Yakuza 0) and finish it. I'll take a break before starting 3 to try and separate the titles and gameplay.Last weekend I completed Yakuza 2 and I have now moved on to Y3.
