To be honest, I also can’t fathom it being such a massive flop. On Steam it peaked at 700 players. Shadows of doubt release peaked at 2200. Something had to go seriously wrong when a niche indie title with no mainstream appeal has a better launch than a AAA game. I don’t think it should’ve been a success, but it definitely should’ve done better than that.

Someone probably should the governmental stick up their ass for this. I’m pretty sure all the parts that end up in Russian arsenal have export restrictions and should, in theory, have strict oversight. You can’t just export into another country and forget about it. If those parts want to be to be exported into another country that information should come back to the seller(or the government agency, don’t really remember the specifics) who then have to give clearance for that and any future exports. But you can’t keep track of under the table deals. Hopefully this gets investigated and justice is served but I don’t have much faith.

They were barely given any assurances. They were given a pinky promise to be independent, pinky promise to not get nuked and UNSC provided assistance ONLY IF nuclear weapons are used against them.

I don’t know about your situation but it is okay to not have any aspirations. I had one aspiration which is kind of a cop out because everyone wants that. I wanted to be happy with my life. I figured if I was happy I’d figure out what I really wanted to do. Once I figured out how to be happy nothing changed, I didn’t get some magical desire to do more or be more. I was happy and I was happy being happy.

Don’t put so much pressure on yourself. If you have aspirations you’ll probably feel them, and if you dont feel them then maybe you don’t have them. There’s no set way to go through life, some people have aspirations and some don’t. The only good life advice I can give is that best way to go through life is doing whatever makes you happy. It’s your life, don’t live it for what society expects you to live for, don’t live it for what your parentst want you to live for, live for yourself.

Kids are absolutely post main story content. You better have your life in order and your aspirations met because you’re about to do some serious compromising when you throw a kid in the mix. I think one of the best decisions of my life was to fulfill my needs before having children.

That doesn’t make the criticism invalid.

Ah, didn’t remember that. That’s cool.

You need to progress the story to a certain point and I think you also need to be a certain level. I would recommend being high level because some of the content is definitely felt designed for high level.

Actually I’ve grown more fond of my ultrawide monitor and I don’t really couch game anymore, so I haven’t bothered to troubleshoot why it does that.

I agree that my specific issue is an uncommon one as it took a bit of digging on the web to find a working solution, and that alone isn’t an indication that the official dock is bad. The purpose of my comment was to shed light on the fact that it’s not as plug and play as the Switch dock is. You can’t just buy the official dock and expect everything to work.

Maybe a third party dock works better. I don’t really know, but it’s something to look into when you plan to buy a dock for the deck.

Considering how they’ve released a COD every year for almost 2 decades I’m amazed we’re only at BO6.

If you have a dock. Maybe I’ve been unlucky but I don’t recommend the official dock. Every time I want to use the deck in a docked mode I have to rewire everything in the correct order to get the dock to output a normal resolution. Wire it in the wrong order and you either get no output or you get low resolution output with weird artifacts.

To be fair, Rockstar also released RDR2 between the two GTA games.

Would you like to be known as the chick who “spits on dicks” or as a the guy who “sticks a thumb up the butt” if it meant you’re set for life? I think you’re viewing the “set for life” part but you’re forgetting that you’re also setting a moniker for life. She can do whatever she wants with the rest of her life but all people will remember is hawk tuah and that will be so for the rest of her life.

I don’t know about you but I’d rather take my otherwise irrelevant existence rather than have my entire being distilled down to a single thing I did.

Trump is just trying to stay ahead of the game. US politics are very much vibes based. Trump is going to the next level by literally vibing on stage. Who needs a health care plan when you’ve got vibe. And he is genuinely weird because that’s the Republican vibe, his weird vibe is appealing to his base.

Kinda meh list. No mobas, either LoL or Dota2. No racing games, NFS underground or NFS Most wanted should be on that list. Not even the OG Modern Warfare which should 100% be on any top 100 games of all time list. Too many games that were released in the last 5 years.

And it’s not like the list is that stacked you couldn’t fit those games in. Dave the diver? Really? I enjoyed Dave the Diver but I’d put Fez higher than Dave the Diver. Ghosts of Tsushima? Even they themselves say that game does nothing revolutionary or unique. You could throw out either Morrowind or Skyrim because they 90% overlap. Armored Core is there only because they love From. I love From but I don’t think that fits the 100 and I think Sekiro barely fits. I think you can also throw out Prey (2017) because you already have Deus Ex and the latter has been far more influential.

And no Terraria? I’m just going to stop. The more I think about the list the angrier I get about how bad that list is.

I don’t mean less casual in that sense. I actually had 3 main points in mind that make satisfactory more casual.

First are the aliens. The evolution and pollution doesn’t stop which means in a way you are fighting against time. If you don’t keep up with it the aliens will attack and destroy your base. I know they can be turned off but the game is designed with their attacks in mind and you’re skipping entire production lines if you turn them off.

The second reason is factory building. I think the extra dimension in Satisfactory makes factory building much easier. If you run out of space horizontally, build up. In Factorio you better plan out how big your factory is going to be because if you run out of space you’re probably going to start spaghettifying your factory or you need to start tearing down parts of your factory to make more space. In my current satisfactory factory I just built a whole new level ontop of my old factory because I couldn’t be bothered to clean it up.

And the last point goes together with the previous point. You have so many things you need to produce. The entire belt production thing for example. If you want express belts you need to build the fast belts which needs the basic belts. If you want express splitters you’re going to have to build the fast splitter, which needs the basic splitter which requires basic belts. Meanwhile in Satisfactory if you want a faster belt you just need the new material for the belt. Factorio production pipelines are like a deep well while Satisfactory production lines are more like a wide puddle (that only towards the very end can go deep, like ficsonium fuel rods). Satisfactory has overall a wider variety of things to produce (if we exclude the tiered items in Factorio), but they’re much less dependent on each other. For example if your industrial beam production isn’t at peak performance that not going to stop you from getting the higher tier belts because they need aluminum which are built from a completely different raw material. Solve aluminum production and you get new belts. Compare that to Factorio where, lets say you want to start using express belts but you’ve been kinda winging your belt production. Well first you need to fix your fast belt production, which then means you need to fix your basic belt production which means you need to fix your iron production which means you have to scale up your iron mining.

The factory can grow over your head but Satisfactory still has easier production pipelines, easier factory planning and you can take however long you want to figure out how to build your factory. To me all of those things indicate that Satisfactory is a more casual experience.

I would personally recommend Satisfactory over Factorio. I think it’s a more casual experience while still scratching that factory building itch.

But why? As the lead designer in the article states, if the game is good who cares what engine they’re using. The creation engine isn’t holding Bethesda back. Just imagine if Starfield had released on Unreal instead of Creation engine? Would fewer loading screens and better facial animations have saved Starfield? I don’t think so. The engine was not the issue with Starfield, the piss poor game design was the issue. Unreal engine isn’t going to solve boring perks, boring quests and a bland world.

If TES6 comes out on creation engine 2 or 3 or whatever, and it’s the next big thing like Skyrim, nobody is going to give a shit that it’s the same engine. People might actually be angry if it’s not on the Creation engine because that would mean modding is going to take a huge hit. Every current Bethesda game modder would have to learn how to mod Unreal engine and I can near guarantee it’s going to be a lot harder than modding Creation engine.

What does that even mean?
