As much as a meme this is, this is exactly how loading works in Fallout games. There is literally a “fast load” mod you can install that uncaps the engine fps during load then recaps it after.

What exactly is the alternative? Every tv manufacturer is doing this. Buying a commercial display isn’t the answer.

The echo chamber on this platform is spacious.

And honestly I think that’s what’s missing in “modern” mmos: the human element. Or rather the social one. Which is ironic.

They are now way too friendly towards solo play and systems like ff14s duty finder removed the social aspect by automating group comp with complete randos that you will probably never see again since it was cross server.

In evercrack and even ffxi you were required to shout for groups from a pool of players on your own server so you got to know people. Who was good and who was not so good. You built a reputation.

It was a lot harder for sure, but it felt more meaningful.

Oh and they were what weekly spawn on top of that too that were also open world spawns to boot, so quite often you had competition just laying claim to it.

Our server had some quite… colorful guilds that didn’t play nice and would train attempts, or bum rush it in an attempt to do more damage to steal the claim, among other nastiness. Imagine you spent hours getting 80 people together, prepping, and then getting ganked at the last minute. lol pure chaos.

The GMs were constantly involved sorting out the aftermath. Which was funny in its own right I suppose. Which is probably why they leaned hard into instances in later expansions.

Fun times. Dont think there will be another experience like it was its hayday.

My 1080ti says no

Hey I liked invisible war :/

I just use the heroic/legendary alternative launcher for any single player games I actually want to play from egs. It’s open source and gives epic less footprint on my machine.

Unfortunately if you want to do anything multiplayer then you need the real client.

Star citizen says hi

The problem is there are only two candidates to choose from.

…and it will take place during Christmas time.

Im with you on this one. Corporations are never your friend no matter how they try to frame it.

Same. My only gripe is that the ui doesn’t scale at all which makes it hard to use on 4K.

Winamp has announced that on 24 September 2024, the application’s source code will be open to developers worldwide.

The date is given on the page, which hasn’t lapsed yet.

Same.

My 1080ti has survived three machines now. I keep looking to upgrade but the newer cards are so expensive now it’s ridiculous.

Because there is precedent.

That’s light novels for you.

When your (physical) book is on the shelf amongst a sea of competition at a store, the title is about the only thing that serves as any form of advertisement. So they tend to be VERY verbose.

I swear every time i try to use those links from the piped bot, the content either never loads or has severe buffering problems.

Sign was super hyped during release, boasting a tie in with a game series iirc.

I was really expecting something special but holy shit did it it go absolutely no where.

As a result I never watched (or played) anything else in the hack series.

I was hopeful too until I found out that Apple is geofencing it to Europe only.
