My gf was complaining her laptop was slow, even though she bought it new last year and it wasn't a cheapo. I went to take a look, 8gb win 11 laptop, hammering more than 7 gb of memory while doing literally nothing after being turned on. "Maybe there's something wrong" I cleaned up her startup apps, uninstalled some stuff that she never used (and came as bloat from samsung), did some optimizations... Restarted, and still at 7+ gb of memory use. Yep, it's fucked.

It was bad at launch, but the game itself is mediocre at best. Except the art of it (acting, graphics, sound...), which is amazing, the game itself is boring, fairly lackluster progression systems during launch (I heard they got revamped later, but never went back), the narrative is limited and uninspired, and there is literally nothing innovative about it. Just your bog standard AAA shoot shoot game with big budgets and small ideas. I doubt Witcher 4 will be any different, just swords and spells instead of guns and hacking.

Uma e meia da manhã do nada o celular fazendo um esporro, ai pego pra ler "Misantropi4". Meu cérebro nem processou o que aconteceu.

Shit! I'm soon to go Linux and now there's one more thing for me ro figure out then. I have some stuff (not a lot, but some important stuff) on OneNote, lucky me that I made the switch to Obsidian a couple of years ago.

The alternative to Ryujinx... Is Ryujinx itself. And soon something else. It has been forked, archived and mirrored. Someone will pick up the project, even if just out of spite against Nintendo.

They can dick about as much as they want, piracy will make sure to preserve the things they want gone. The reason they don't want older games to be preserved is that new generations, whilst playing them, may come to realize that you don't need gacha mechanics, stupid fomo, micro transactions, 6 different currencies, 3 different shop menus, 2 battlepasses and so forth to have a good game.

Watch their announcement video on youtube, it screams VC funding scam. The whole announcement is basically just the CEO sitting on a couch and making outrageous claims, while all the supporting data and graphs carry the disclaimer "pre-silicon simulated benchmarks". They say they're going to have a live demo this month and in the following months, but they don't even have real silicon, while also claiming they're going to be shipping cards by Q4 2026.

Baller move from the devs. I wish we lived in a world where the source code of older games were all released and freely available for non-commercial uses.

Piracy is our friend. If Steam ever goes to shit, gamers would go back to piracy.

There was actually a case in Brazil recently where a girl left her male friend alone during a hike, and the guy got lost and stayed 5 days surviving alone in the jungle near the mountain until he was eventually found alive. Almost no news outlet mentions that he was abandoned, but there is a video from the girl who was supposed to be with him saying that she left him behind and out of her sight. No news outlet blamed the woman like they would if the gender roles had been reversed.

Too diplomatic even.

Nah, it's scary when the entity threatening you with a lawsuit has enough resources to bury you under paperwork and drag a legal battle that'll hurt your business for years even if they have no chance of actually winning the suit.

This article made my day a bit better. Google complaining how "radical" the changes proposed are is a sure indicator that they would likely cause some damage to them.

Narrator: "He won't"

What's 10 dollars? The people saying this are too rich to understand poor numbers. They probably think in terms of "a new pc costs less than an hour at my favorite spa, people are complaining too much".

That would require us to be a society that values culture and art over money.

This is the problem with the "we're not talking about politics in here" approach. A lot of smaller companies, entities, "influencers"... will attempt to become apolitical, a ploy to market to as many people as possible, but it's ill advised. You have to make your beliefs actually clear from the start. And after a certain size, you must avoid becoming too personal about things. Get a PR specialist if you can, even. It'll save a lot of headache to kearn you can't please everybody, and there'll always be someone dissatisfied with you, so you better choose early who they'll be.

Vampire: The Masquerade is the OG vampire game though, a tabletop RPG written in the 90s that actually does and considers who and what a vampire is. The problem it's all the knockoffs that spawned because of it. You get it all with VTM: politics, intrigue, personal horror, millennia old monsters farming humans, vampires so old that they saw the fall of Babel, biblical myths and Occult lore intertwined, modern world fiction where the darkness runs deeper than you'd think, government agencies that hunt down vampires and other monsters, their very own world-ending myth, and many different kinds of Vampires, from ones so ugly they have to live in the sewers and learn invisibility, from ones so rich and powerful they control mega corporations from behind the scenes. So it's not just a sequel, it's a sequel to THE Vampire game. But they butchered it.

He got 27 years in jail, may he live a long and miserable life!
