As long as people can host a server instance, does it matter?

Hypothetically, even if it costs 1000$ per hour in AWS fees to get the required hardware to run that, at least you have the option to, alternatively have a peer to peer option to play smaller version on a LAN with a max of however many players your own network can support, there could be many implementations, which at the end of the day would still allow you to play the game when the official servers (authentication or room hosts) are shuttered and inaccessible

The main point of SKG is that currently, we, as customers, are not even getting the short end of the stick, we are getting no stick, despite having paid for it.

And ultimately, at the end of the day, not our problem to try to figure this out, the point is we’re unhappy with the current situation and want things to change.

Also note that none of this is retroactive, will only apply to games released in the future, so having an end of life plan as a requirement from the get-go is pretty simple to work on when nothing was done yet.

“many titles are designed from the ground-up to be online-only”

So change your design? The corporate mind cannot comprehend this.

The “experts” in this case are 2 teachers assistants in game design in one university weighing in on a whole swath of reasons such as financial impacts and other stuff, on which they are totally qualified to talk about.

We have reached the stage where if my son does his math homework, he should be referred to as a “math expert”, article’s a joke.

I’m no expert but I heard you can compile the kernels to grow them yourself

That hole is already busy during regular business hours

If you have merde on your chair, you pushed too hard

TotK was not worth 80$.

Should’ve been an add on to BotW for 40$

Or if you never had either, both as a “complete edition” for 100$ is fine too.

Pretty sure it released on both platforms at the same time, as far as I’m concerned any games that show up on GoG with no DRM take a bit of effort from GoG to actually verify and host the installers, more so when the contracts expire and they have to delist them and try to get them back

Does God of War count?

I know it came to pc as a whole but it’s available on GoG as well

From the video during a cinematic sequence: “there’s somebody talking but I muted that part”

The visuals are nice but cmon, you can’t play it with no sound :/

Happy to see GameInformer back

As for games: two point museum and nordhold

2point Museum has been a blast with all the commentary, announcements and fun descriptions and nordhold scratches that tower defence with meta progression itch

Prison tattoos, but they’re all just corporate brands.

Wouldn’t a liquid stool in this scenario be preferred?

Voyager is very much Apollo reincarnate

Personally I have a pair of the cloud alpha, and had them for about 2 years now, they’re very good for what they are

I can’t speak to their other cheaper headsets but with this one I got, I feel that the quality between friends who had the version before it and the ones that were purchased by a colleague last month don’t really differ much in terms of quality.

Again, I can’t speak to their stinger line or other models. Maybe those were affected more by the HP acquisition.

If you like the headset, I suggest just getting the same one, wait for a sale or check price trends, these typically go on sale fairly often, be it the 2 or 3’s, the battery life is good, they’re fairly comfortable and if you have no specific reason to change to something else, using the same model will net you more or less the same experience as you had before

Correct, yelling and chanting does nothing, they slapped him to a functional enough state that he managed to regain control of his faculties

The video is showing something called a freediving blackout, it’s a condition that gets triggered in divers such as the one shown, plus other factors such as hyperventilating prior to the dive.

What happens in this case is the person loses consciousness because they don’t feel the need to breathe as they have purged a lot of the CO2 the body has prior, giving them “room” to not feel the urge to breathe.

Again, as specified previously, assuming the person doesn’t die of anything immediate in the water, the body simply stops breathing.

The problem is when it starts again.

Your body, once “jolted awake” by the involuntary nervous system, will try to breathe, and it doesn’t know or care that you might still be underwater since you stopped swimming and didn’t get out of the water in time or weren’t rescued or washed ashore on some deserted island.

If you’re out of the water at this point, you’re fine, usually. If you’re still underwater, you breathe in (involuntarily) a bunch of the water (or a bunch of “nothing” if you got your holes plugged) and that’s what kills you.

Kind of ironic that in an attempt to preserve your life, your own involuntary bodily function is what ends up being the final nail.

No. You can sorta do it until you pass out and then your involuntary nervous system takes over and your body breathes on its own because you’re not conscious anymore.
