I watched a video of someone trying to 100% this game as fast as possible.

He was doing pretty good at first, then he started talking about the fossils…

I’ve been playing through the Halo series again

The first game is so incredibly atmospheric. Walking through the empty snow-covered New York streets, looting through abandoned houses, apartments and offices; exploring the subway and other iconic NYC locations.

That too. Even though my Game Pass has been cancelled and I haven’t had Xbox Live in a couple years, I can also still go into the Xbox PC app, install any game that I’ve bought that’s also PC compatible or stream whatever I own that isn’t (but still has cloud workability).

It’s how I’ve been playing Halo Wars 2 lately. And I’ve seen the Fable games are cloud compatible, but I haven’t tried those on PC yet.

From what I understand about this subscription (I never looked into it before) it’s basically like a reverse Game Pass? So you pay the monthly subscription, and you can play the games that are on the service, on different devices aside from just a PC?

While that does sound pretty cool and impressive, I can’t imagine most people, or most anyone that calls themselves a gamer would touch this service with a 20’ pole. Like at that point, just own the game and system you want. You can play whenever and for however long you want.

Also, this may sound weird, but after reading the article I have a strong urge to start a game and just let it run idle, racking up playtime. Out of spite for Nvidia I guess.

Australian imo

Nah I realized years ago without anyone telling me that that quote from Monty Python sounds really close to the n-word if you just mumble a little bit.

Never heard about the shorthand for carabiner though.

As a Star Wars fan, it’s a fun tongue-in-cheek joke/reference to The Clone Wars show and Dee Bradley Baker’s absolutely amazing performances as every single clone in that show.

Other than that, I’ve seen it online as a sort of ironic/unironic “derogatory” term to refer to AI and things created by/with AI.

I don’t think it could be classified as an actual insult until the day fully sentient AI is a thing and can think and have feelings for itself.

I’ve been listening to the Halo 2 soundtrack (classic version) and it sounds very 2002-2003. Like you can hear the cheap early-2000s equipment and software that was used to make it.

The drums in almost all the tracks really remind me of the old Jak, Tak, and even Crash soundtracks because of it. And it just takes me right back to my childhood playing games on an old box tv with nothing but those speakers.

Why do you think there’s so many?

I’m not sure about games personally, but there’s the Mantella mod for Skyrim which is pretty much exactly what you’re looking for.

Check out this video if you want to see how it works in practice.

I’m sorry but whoever put together the text in the picture types like a goddamn jerk. It honestly frustrated me so much just reading it that I had to force myself to finish.

I was also disappointed by that.

Thankfully RTGame has a full playthrough and stream VOD uploaded. It’s actually who I watched play it first and I instantly fell in love

That’s why there are different kinds of trailers. You have announcement/teaser trailers, gameplay trailers, cinematic trailers (for showing cutscenes and story content), character trailers…

Goddamn YouTuber influencers made me get Megabonk the other day, and it’s pretty fun. It reminds me of Risk if Rain 2

The Cyberpunk 2077 announcement trailer was barely even a trailer. Just a moving jpeg of a woman with swords coming out of her arms.

Elder Scrolls 6’s announcement trailer was literally just a super quick flyover of some landscape then a title card.

Don’t suddenly start acting like it’s this huge problematic practice when it’s literally how every piece of media uses announcement trailers - hell, even books will have announcement trailers extremely similar in style to this.

Ego Draconis or Original Sin 2? I’m not a diehard fan or anything, but I know some people online like to make the distinction known.

I’ve only really played Ego Draconis (Divinity 2), but I’ve played the tutorial of Original Sin 2.

That’s kinda how announcement trailers usually go though?

I’ve been hankering to play some MCC for the last couple weeks. It doesn’t help that I’ve been listening to the Halo 2 soundtrack basically on repeat.

I had an LG phone for a few years until one night it literally just died on me. I was messing around on it one night, just scrolling randomly, then I set it down for a few minutes to play a game. When I went to check my phone again, it wouldn’t turn on or anything.
