Why pay anything to play online?

Again?

I just watched the Digital Foundry video on this and the way they fuckin glaze over this tech just disgusted me enough to unsubscribe.

How about the part where they had to use 2 RTX 5090’s to do this? One for the game and one for DLSS 5?

Please try and justify that.

Lol. Lmao, even! Micro transactions and battle passes get enshitified like everything else.

They brought Leon back.

Honestly I’m glad I decided to pick this up despite my complete rejection of epic games store.

It has personally been one of the greatest games I’ve ever played, and I don’t say that lightly. I have been kicking myself for waiting so long to get into the alan wake series.

Is it just me or does this feel tone deaf?

It’s about timing. If someone did this before he died, you wouldn’t even hear about it in the news.

Nope. But they did delay the game again and they pinky promised they didn’t fire these people to union bust.

And now the images work for me

I’m curious what your Steam replay looks like

Same here

So is this a whole new divinity or a remake of the first divinity?

Eat that poor banana already!

Used to be that disk jockeys also got to pick what they played to an extent. Now it’s all just predetermined lists nationwide brought to you by iHeartRadio. But yeah. Crazy to think how quickly things changed.

Used to be we would share mixtapes… I really miss that. It was an intimate social interaction that we’ve entirely lost with modern streaming.

I miss the days of people having their own bespoke collection of their favorite movies and shows. Everything is homogenized now. At least when I pirate, I’m still building my own personal media library. And I never have to worry about the show I like being removed later.

But I’m not gonna lie. The quality drop off in content caused by streaming services I think is a bigger issue

Netflix activity tries to make content that’s not actually good enough to watch without browsing a phone. Second screen content, they call it. And I guarantee someone in a finance role realized they could make way more by doing just enough to keep people, rather than try to actively create amazing content, because it’s soo much cheaper to not pay for good writers, or good set designers or actors when you could just find someone who’s good enough. I think it’s because the money people spend is recurring, linked to the service as a whole, and not linked to the individual work… users have to vote by watching now, and some of the best stuff I’ve ever seen is also some of the least watched.

And that’s why he’ll fail.

Of course epic doesn’t understand empowering consumers with information. They don’t care about consumers. If they did, they’d maybe try adding some long requested features to their storefront.
