Is that not the purpose of a beta? That doesn’t seem like a good sign.

Holy shit. Completely forgot about rollcage. Wild to me that anyone remembers that game enough to make a spiritual successor.

Was going to be upset because I played the game through game pass and bought the Lego dlc for it but not the actual game. Looks like they’re sending out free copies of the game if you are in the same boat. So that’s good.

Wait, are you the t-shirt guy?

According to who? Halo CE anniversary is higher fidelity than the original sure. But the art direction is all over the place and not at all consistent with the original style. Not to mention the fact they changed the geometry of everything without actually changing collision. Making shots hit walls/trees/objects that are no longer in that spot.

They also just took enemy models straight out of halo reach without any consideration for how those designs match the original games aesthetic.

If you like it, great. I’m happy you’re able to enjoy it. But as someone who grew up with the original the anniversary version was a slap in the face and a blatant cash grab.

That being said I don’t have much faith that a new remake would be much better.

To be honest I actually don’t think it sounds all that bad. If it were forced military service I’d think it was terrible. But it sounds like you can just do community service instead of the military training. And it’s just one weekend a month for twelve months. Given how much we’re disconnected from our communities these days I think making sure kids engage with their communities in this way could actually be really beneficial.

That’s just thinking about this one policy in a Vaccuum though. I know nothing about British politics so I have no clue what other awful and heinous shit this party may or may not be into.

I can be both mad that this data isn’t public record and that the BATFE aren’t doing their jobs.

I would disagree that there’s zero reason for this data to be public record. I’d agree with you if we were just shielding individuals who are purchasing like one handgun or something. That’s something that I don’t think is anyone else’s business. But if a dude is buying 95 semi-automatic rifles in a short period of time you bet your ass I think that should be public knowledge. No one should be able to secretly purchase enough firearms to arm a small militia.

Per the linked article.

“Gun trace data is kept out of public view by a rider to a Congressional bill known as the “Tiahrt Amendment,” passed in 2003 to shield gun shops from scrutiny. Each year, the ATF provides a count of the guns recovered in Mexico that had been bought in the U.S., with no further details.”

Nothing to do with the Mexican govt. The US govt passed a law in 2003 to prevent gun sale data from being public record. This includes sales of firearms eventually used in armed conflicts in Mexico.

American here.

No fucking clue. I’m as surprised as you are. Seriously wtf?

What’s wrong with youtube vanced? It works just fine for me.

Is that Eric Andre doing his best Jet Set Radio cosplay? Because he’s kinda nailing it.

Yes, let’s try to pick apart the one hyperbolic statement he made and completely ignore all of his other valid points. Let’s also link a very biased article about Wikipedia that has absolutely nothing to do with anything as some sort of proof that China is some bastion for workers rights. It’s not like they literally force people into labor camps simply for being minorities or anything.

The US is far from perfect but let’s not pretend they somehow have worse labor rights than freaking China.

What game was it? Just curious.

Eh SDR to HDR is a waaay bigger jump than Mp3 to FLAC. Assuming of course you have an actual HDR display. And not one of those “HDR” displays that only have like 400 nits of peak brightness.

But then how could poor Nvidia ever hope to sell any more gpus waaaay above MSRP??

I personally used the trackpad as mouse input. Was much better than using left stick for me.

Just saw this at PAX and talked with one of the devs about it. Looked pretty fun.

Reading through the article he actually seems to indicate the opposite. He actually specifically mentions how he’s frustrated when trying to use windows handhelds because of windows things and that he needs to take ownership over those issues. And he talks about bringing Xbox games (seemingly implying gamepass) to other devices. The phrase “every screen is an Xbox” came up. He also mentioned that they mocked up a windows gaming handheld at some point but nothing came to fruition.

Seems like, at least from what he said here, that they are at least looking into bring gamepass to steam deck.

Of course saying something and actually doing something are two entirely different things so we’ll see I guess. I’m not holding my breath.

I wonder if this is the impotus for that recent announcement that they’re going to start supporting the pc vr games with the headset.

You’re very right. How I remember it is that their names are sorta backwards. Alligators have snouts shaped like a C and crocodiles have snouts shaped like an A.
