Help him work through his I'm a pale and unattractive person issues so he can focus on donating the vast majority of his money to worthy causes!

Luckily things are moving in a way where I don’t think we need to give up amazing graphics to reduce production values. So much of what makes a game look good can be accomplished with tech itself. UE5 is already showing impressive results in the AA space with the likes of Banishers and Robocop. We just need meta human and things like that to get easier/more common as character models aren’t as easy to streamline yet as opposed to world detail. Banishers especially feels just like any AAA game in its production. 

 

I do like here though that since a live service game didn’t perform well particularly because it’s a a live service game, so the answer is to double down on live service games. Since the non live service game they released did record numbers, this only makes sense.

Where I see the down grade is in motion capture cut scenes and custom textures. 

Sigh, no it isn't an opportunity. By all means try to get that message out there as hard as you can dems, but right wing media does a fine job pointing their morons exactly where they want them to look. "Our guy" would never do that!

Isnt F2P and mobile gaming also volatile? I guess the games are often cheaper to make so when they die in year they likely already made back their development in whatever micro transactions. 

Bingo. Monetized games rake in a butt load of cash, even some of the ones that failed. 

I'm holding out so I can watch all episodes as I see fit (2 episodes a night for 5 nights). The waiting is awful though, but I want to be immersed in this one. Shogun is easily in my top 50 childhood books.  

I'm against pirating games, but I'm for emulation. I can see both sides of the argument, but I think in just a few years it will be a moot point. Emulation will not be stopped. 

Even though I've historically been a graphics obsessed gamer, I can acknowledge that many of my favorite games are not graphical show pieces. I'd be fine with AAA gaming crumbling away and AA gaming being the norm for the high end, as long as the games are fun. 

SUYU is a brilliant name for a successor, hats off to those involved in that naming!

Fine, fine, here's your dirty link! 

Joel McHale shares update on ‘Community’ reboot movie, says...

DECIDER.COM

McHale claimed that he will be "shocked" if that turns out not to be the case.

Still though, it is confirmed that the movie is filing this year.

What chapter is that? I think I know what you're talking about out. If I do, I had a character die on easy lol. 

Start of 4 I believe. 

I'm taking my time and enjoying the ride. I just cleared the grasslands, and am now working through the Junon region. I didn't get as much time with the game as I wanted due to the new puppy in the house, but so far the game is really great! 

Got my Chocobo and off I go!

No stitches. Sprained an ankle and my knee gave me a bloody nose. Luckily the garage roof wasn't terribly high and I didn't hit anything other than the grass.

 

Still, if I made it, it would've been EPIC.

Sounds like a partial victory to me!

Okay yeah sounds like it’s the 30fps on oled without motion blur making it jank even if it’s a proper locked 30fps. I could see how motion smoothing could help but that combined with 30fps isn’t the best input latency :P

This seems to be the problem. Trust me though, if you are experiencing this, its worth taking the lag hit. And you know I'm a fancy pants that wants the best IQ/FPS/response, so trust me when I say its bad enough that I'm happily using motion smoothing! (I mean, happy is strong, but you know, accepting).

Just now, legend said:

 

Words I'm not sure I ever thought I'd hear  

Apparently its a fight shit with shit scenario! 

For those with OLED TVs, turn on motion smoothing immediately! Its fixed so much of the problem!

I'm a little confused - graphics mode is better than performance mode. Graphics mode (according to DF) is a locked 30fps, it's performance mode's aim for 60fps that can wobbly apparently. A locked 30fps has been pretty fine so far, I'd say of all the issues graphics-wise the FPS in graphics mode is the least of them. Do I wish I had a locked 60fps? Yes, but a locked 30fps with no frame stutter is a trade-off I'll take for better graphics.

Oh buddy, graphics mode is MOST DEFINITLY NOT a locked 30FPS. I believe the technical terminology for the frame rate is: Quite shit.

Yeah, I figured it was real bad when I saw you complaining about it since you normally aren’t bothered by IQ/fps!

The worst part is that someone, some where, is testing the PC port right now! 

I just assumed the FPS drop would happen when the game opened up, but the frame rate is bad from jump. Embarrassing. 

Great game so far, but the frame rate is a war crime! Fuck, its just unacceptable.

I remember that time I was "pretty confident" I could reach the swimming pool from my porch roof.

How many stitches?

Will slice shares be called sub shares?!
