  • I’ve had that problem. But more often I have them correctly opening, but they start autoplaying muted by default. So I would have to frantically search for the unmute button or volume slider as fast as I can before I miss more than 2 or 3 sentences.

    If it takes too long, then I probably didn’t wanna watch it anyway. I always hated it because it would throw banners at me advertising the app, which I expressly do not want. I had it downloaded one time for about 10 minutes on my last phone, and felt the ick immediately.

    I don’t get them often, and typically only as discord channel messages. Lately they’re embedded so I don’t need to open them in a browser. It seems to be working now, but it was a mess for a while.





  • I’ve actually used that.

    I love the concept of getting rid of the 3 prong disaster, but the past of me that gets given absolutely nuts by asymmetry gates the way it feels in my hand.

    It gets partial credit for at least making it fully wield-able, but drive nothing to advantage of it (because it couldn’t since this was like .000000001% of all controllers made), the benefit was useless, and the downside hurt even more because of that.





  • Wow. I probably have played 4 or 5 on that entire list. And none of them in the past 5 or so years.

    It’s still a shitty thing to do for sure. Maybe there will be a new “thing” that starts getting used instead? Ray tracing has gotten way more coverage than PhysX ever did, and imo is like 3% as good or interesting.

    Physics actually have gameplay interactions that matter. Ray tracing looks nice, but is so absolutely expensive computationally that (imo) is not even CLOSE to being worth the effort if turning on, even with compatible hardware.

    Give us better physics, games! My main time sink rn is Rocket League, and that game is literally nothing but physics. Mostly simple physics, but stuff behaving in a logical way makes my brain a lot happier than better lighting ever did.

    I like when y’all grass became an actual object that could be moved around by players, or when tossing an item on the ground actually does it tossed down and colliding with other objects while texting to them appropriately (as in fire starting, or weight holding something down a certain amount). That stuff is potentially game creating, definitely feature drinking.

    Has anything AT ALL been affected by “pretty lights” beyond making them pretty? If it has, I’ve never heard of it.

    Keep games about a gameplay experience, not just a visual feast. Save that tech for movies or playable stories (ie Telltale type). Focus only on the gameplay experience otherwise. Toss in some ray tracing when you can, but NEVER at the expense of physics. It just doesn’t make any sense.



  • I’m just gonna be blunt. And I mean exactly what this sounds like.

    There is NOTHING negative you can do to a Nazi lover that could possibly be construed as immoral.

    Illegal, sure (in this current farce of government). But every dead Nazi is good for the world. Bar none, no exclusions. I wanna see Nazi corpses everywhere. I wanna see clips of them suffering before their deaths. Comeuppance is such a delicious beverage. The tears of the wicked can wash anything down.

    They can’t be reformed, and everything they do would be suspect for the rest of their lives. You can’t negotiate with them, either.

    I’m just gonna stop here. I probably got on at least 3 watch lists for this comment.
