Probably one of the VR ones.

Phasmophobia is tense and mostly because you can die and get no points, but there’s plenty of VRChat horror worlds as well. The quality varies wildly though, and you often face the worst VR horror of all: awful frame rates.

Those fucking dummies…

It is optional isn’t it?

Minibeard is there for if you get stuck. The puzzles just aren’t really hard unless you’re really not used to games at all.

Honestly the hardest part was the rhythm and bubble shooter sections at the end.

That’s not necessarily a bad thing.

RDR2 was long as fuck.

8K on everything is pure marketing BS.

At that price there would have to be some pretty compelling arguments to upgrade.

Half a generation for up to 40% more raytracing power isn’t worth it.

A full generation for 2-3 times what a PS5 can do? Maybe.

Even then, there would have to be some damn good exclusives on PS6 to be worth your while. PS4 to PS5 was an easy argument, games ran at 30 pretty much all generation, mostly due to a comically underpowered CPU, and now they run at 60.

I’m struggling to even conceive of a worthwhile game that would bring a PS5 to its knees. I haven’t really seen a good argument for raytracing yet. Sure, nicer reflections, more accurate lighting, but we were pretty good at faking those anyway. Cyberpunk and Metro look really nice with the RT only editions, but they were perfectly playable without it.

We should really draw a big line under RT once it reaches a certain level of power, and go back to affordability. Game devs can’t put food on the table just catering to insanely high end hardware. My PC is still rocking a 1060. On the Steam hardware survey, there’s only one GPU higher than the X060 series inside the top ten. Budget hardware has got to be the focus.

TVs have been available in 120Hz and VRR for a while now. Even my 2017 OLED supports 120Hz, albeit only at 1080p.

That said, I don’t see the need to chase that with more expensive hardware. Any game with a choice of performance vs resolution, I find myself swapping to performance mode. I can see extra frames, I struggle to see extra pixels.

I’m not sure the disc drive can be saved at this point. There’s big games that didn’t even come out on disc, like BG3.

When you’re no longer having fun.

If you want the worst, it’s Medal of Honor Underground.

I mean, fair play for trying to get a cutting edge PS1 game onto the GBA, but why would you persist if that’s all you could do with it?

I’d first heard of it yesterday when I saw it recommended here somewhere.

However, I wouldn’t assume maliciousness over incompetence. It is Google after all… Anybody who has ever published anything on there has probably had it removed at some point. There’s so many malicious apps and spurious reports, it could honestly be anything. The smaller your app, the longer it takes for an actual human to get involved and sort it out.

Grab an Amiga emulator and get Pinball Dreams, Pinball Fantasies and Pinball Illusions.

Yep, as wildly expensive and unreliable as AI is, so are staff.

Watch as loads of people get laid off, they realise the AI can’t do their jobs after all, but you know who can give it a go? Some guy in a third world country on $3 an hour.

Goldman Sachs has not invested in AI.

Their statement is factual though, on all three points. nVidia’s share price alone should alarm people. It’s the new dot com bubble.

The issue with any two party system is that they’ll both fight tooth and nail to keep it that way.

The PR referendum was the only time they’ve ever worked together and the public fell for it.

Only if they start shutting all their services down if they don’t become the world leader within the first 3 years.

Oh, that’s already gone. Preserving the duopoly is all you have.

That’s certainly the case in the UK.

What’s the point in competition if they don’t actually compete?

Not nearly as much though.

I think a few years ago it was China. Now it will be anybody else who wants Western money and doesn’t mind burning plastic. Malaysia and Turkey seem popular for the UK. Not sure where the US sends it. It sure as shit isn’t recycled in any way that people would think of as recycling.

I’ve no idea why we make plastic bottled drinks when aluminium cans exist.
