Look, man. I'm all for the first-amendment, I don't believe in any of that safe-space bullshit, and lord knows I'm not normally bothered by words as you may have seen from my many Blue Lives Matter Facebook posts talking about black-on-black violence, but don't you dare use the L-word around here! We are WINNERS! We will be referred to as such under any and all circumstances! Having a setback does not make your a l***r! It just means you're taking a little longer to win!

These people always make a good case for cannibalism.

Like most AC games, it's about scope and certain scenes just looking fantastic. Or I guess I should say Ubisoft games. Obviously it's been a bit since Odyssey hit and we've entered heavy RTX land since then, but I still really like some of the vistas, like seeing each individual light source for a city dozens of miles in the distance at night. I dunno about best looking technically, but there are definitely excellent moments. RDR2 doesn't count since it's not a video game, it's a movie you control remotely. Waiting for each scene to render out at Rockstar HQ and then come back before Morgan moves just really makes it dramatically less impressive to me personally.

Ah right, I forgot it was only 825, which was already disappointing in itself.

We really should have laws concerning advertising your storage as 1TB when you're hitting like 66% of that.

His "phone" being a TV remote kills me for some reason.

MS-13, which everyone knows stands for Microsoft-13, the vaccine-generating gang led by Bill "Bad Hombre" Gates to abort our straight marriage!

I couldn't help myself. I literally had to stop playing the game I was playing to make this. Figure someone else probably made it by now as fast as Twitter is, but I had to anyway.

Oh yeah, you can definitely tell the difference. The new one almost just sounds like only NPCs and characters produce any noise whatsoever, and they don't seem to be affected by the environment they're in.

"Sorry Don, this one's only for 2-termers."

The thing about interactivity is that I believe all those systems and simulations take a toll on performance. Being able to fight anyone (instead of give a thumbs up) or hijack any car (with the car being destructible and having reflections that are also influenced by the damage) or quickly switch perspectives to things like drones, I imagine at least, adds up. Not for RT specifically, but with RT already being so heavy, I figure any little performance hits add up. Again, on top of Ubisoft just sucking shit at optimization.

I feel like I can almost hear the subtle details you're talking about just thinking back on my time with the Souls games, but do you have any concrete examples that would help me even more? I didn't notice anything terribly off with the initial gameplay trailer with no UI, but I haven't watched too much footage since then. Got any comparison moments so I can see for myself?

Yes what? Yes it does reflections on more than just windows? Gimme some examples! Although based on what I remember playing on Spider-Man it definitely seemed like... I dunno how to phrase it, like a more narrow open-world game? Like there wasn't actually as much going on in the world that you could interact with. You could definitely get around, but I don't remember being able to just cause as much general fuckery, which is the kind of shit I imagine makes Watch Dogs run like ass, outside of general Ubisoft incompetence. Also seeing some Spider-Man reflections in screenshots I was disappointed at how low-res they were. Not a big deal if you're swinging by super fast, but then you're not really caring about them to begin with, at which point just gimme the 60 FPS. (I do consider "half the framerate" to be a pretty big sacrifice.)

Haven't been keeping up, does Spider-Man do many reflections outside the windows of skyscrapers? The cool thing about RT in Watch Dogs is the huge variety of reflections, not just the mirror-like ones found on buildings.

God I wish. I'd love to be eating capitalist pig right now. Pineapple goes best on pizza with richman ham.

Imagine thinking crying "they cheated!" like a dumb bitch was you saving face. What a fucking unrelenting pussy moron.

Yes. You read my post. Well done!

You ain't fixin' any of that shit without getting rid of the pustule first.

For some completely unrelated I suddenly feel much more excited about the new console launches. No idea what could be elevating my mood thus.

That sounds alright.

Is there anyone who has pineapple on pizza without ham? That's the whole point. It's why it's a Hawaiian pizza. Do psychopaths get non-Hawaiian pizzas and add pineapple? I mean, I figured that was literally the only way to eat it. Ham and pineapple already go amazing together, so slapping both on a pizza just makes sense. I can't imagine pineapple gelling well with many other combinations, though. Maybe just a cheese pizza, I guess? Would feel a little too sweet and fruity for my taste at that point without the delicious ham balancing it out.

I'm finally able to cum in peace.

The idea of having to coddle people too stupid to even vote for their own best interest as some sort of lifelong goal is exasperating even as a mental exercise, let alone as an actual struggle to be attempted. If their suffering and their death don't open their eyes, what fucking chance do I have? Counties where more people died from Covid were MORE likely to vote for Trump. How?! What in the unholy name of fuck can normal people do to make these ignoramuses see? Oh sure, you might get a person here or there who's only an edge-case, but if 4 years of Trump fucking things up didn't convince you that maybe Trump was bad for the nation, then you can go fuck yourself. Trying to extend an olive branch doesn't work when the person you're extending it to lights it on fire every time. Your dipshit family, if Biden's presidency can actually accomplish anything (I do not worship or expect greatness from politicians, even if I vote for them, only fucking idiots cheer for politicians), might see life get just a little bit better over the next few years. But it won't matter, "Biden's ruining America" will be what Fox News tells them, and they'll be off to vote for another candidate who pays them lip service and lets them rot. And it'll be on "the left" for not coddling them enough and talking to them in soothing baby talk they can understand.

You know, everyone's talking about PA, GA, NV and AZ... but why the fuck haven't they called NC for Trump? That's been bugging me for days.

Don't really care about the legendary edition unless it offers new gameplay or a new engine or something. Would definitely enjoy it with Andromeda gameplay because Andromeda's gameplay was by far the best in the series, by a country fucking mile, even if the rest of it was a sad shitshow. Can already play the games in 4k with HD texture packs, so fancy bells and whistles don't matter much to me. Maybe remade animations, I guess? Bioware sucks at animations. I am interested in the new game, that's the announcement I was hoping for, even if I have serious doubts about the capabilities of modern Bioware.
