  1. NVIDIA Slams Cryptocurrency: “It Brings Nothing Useful to Society”

    Funny, nvidia, funny, except I'm not laughing.
  2. The Lord of the Rings: Gollum Gets May 25 Release Date and 38-Minute Gameplay Showcase Video

    If you have a fixed ending that you already know that means everything you do and anything that happens in the game is of no consequence. Most games these days have some sort of player choice that alters the ending. But even if the ending is fixed like in The Last of Us, you still have the...
  3. The Lord of the Rings: Gollum Gets May 25 Release Date and 38-Minute Gameplay Showcase Video

    Those were adaptations. This is a prequel. I can't stand prequels in videogames. Makes everything you do pointless as no matter what you do the end point is completely fixed.
  4. Atari Plans to Buy System Shock Remake Developer Nightdive Studios for $10 Million

    Here we go again, will this be the reason to postpone the game now?
  5. Diablo IV Players Claim Blizzard’s New Game Is Bricking NVIDIA GeForce Graphics Cards: “RIP my RTX 3080 Ti”

    It's not that simple. The game is doing the equivavlent of putting a car to the limiter consistently for no reason. It should not brick engines, but you know it will if done too much especially older more performance than reliability tuned engines. The problem is that GPUs have no hard rev...
  6. Ubisoft Adopts AI Tool for Writing Game Dialogue

    Stupid. An AI's benefit would be to offer spontaneous in game responses, not make static text. I bet ubisoft also slices bread with the handle of the knife and not the blade.
  7. Resident Evil 4 Is #1 Best PC Game of 2023 in Metacritic Rankings

    I only started gaming in the late 80s on Commodore 64, that was everything I known until I played Test Drive III on the neighbor's laptop in DOS. This was 1990, a new PC cost something like a year's salary for the average worker. My parents had well paid jobs, but not that well. But then I...
  8. Resident Evil 4 Is #1 Best PC Game of 2023 in Metacritic Rankings

    I got both RE2 and RE3 remake, I played RE2 for 4 hours, but gave up when I was forced back into the same police station for the nth time. I can only take so much tedium. RE3 I just have, I barely even started it yet.
  9. Resident Evil 4 Is #1 Best PC Game of 2023 in Metacritic Rankings

    This just proves what I always thought secretly: Apple users aren't very bright. There should be a registry of offenders who spend on mobile games, but if you get clean and don't have dark thoughts for a year it is expunged :p
  10. Microsoft and Adobe Launch AI-Powered Art Generation Tools: “Create Images With Your Words”

    If you are an artist who just wants to do art, this does not affect you. If you are selling commissions, then yes it does. But can that type of work for hire even be considered art? You literally draw something based on someone else's words just like the AI. Ai just spews out random garbage you...
  11. Aliens: Dark Descent Gameplay Trailer Confirms Squad-Based Action and June 20 Release Date

    Real time xcom? Sounds weird, if it was turn based I'd be fully on board without hesitation.
  12. Rolls-Royce Gets Funding for Its Bid to Put a Nuclear Reactor on the Moon

    Yeah but a solar sail is not harnessing the energy of empty space it harnesses the tiny force of photons coming from the sun, which would get less effective the further you go (just like solar panels) and offer no way to come back, which would be essential to manned missions.
  13. Resident Evil 4 Is #1 Best PC Game of 2023 in Metacritic Rankings

    I never actually played the original RE4, but I did try RE7, and it was one of the worst gaming experiences of my life, everything I hated in RE2 and RE3 dialed up to 9000, and nothing that I actually liked about the early ones, which were already kind of borderline games for me. I never...
  14. Rolls-Royce Gets Funding for Its Bid to Put a Nuclear Reactor on the Moon

    We don't have reusable rockets*. So we need to work on that first. How do you build a gas station for something that doesn't exist yet? It's not rocket science...or is it? *having to spend weeks inspecting and refitting it does not count. It's as if you needed to rebuild your engine every time...
  15. Volkswagen Teases EV That Costs Under $21,000

    No, you don't winch a weight. That is a stupid kickstarter gimmick. You pump water from a lower reservoir to an upper one, then generate energy through turbines. My electricity provider just put a halt on new solar installations of that type last summer. The reason: the grid can no longer take...
  16. Rolls-Royce Gets Funding for Its Bid to Put a Nuclear Reactor on the Moon

    Most of it could be automated with only inspecting the equipment when someone actually goes there to refuel. I stand by what I've said: permanent human settlement on the moon is a ridiculously stupid idea. What food is there on the moon? This is not the point. It is obviously easier to launch...
  17. Rolls-Royce Gets Funding for Its Bid to Put a Nuclear Reactor on the Moon

    But you don't need a reactor on the moon for a space station. Even though so far space stations were more like gimmicks with no real use, I think making a permanent larger scale space station is a better idea than putting anything on the moon in the near future. Resupplying a permanent presence...
  18. Rolls-Royce Gets Funding for Its Bid to Put a Nuclear Reactor on the Moon

    I was responding to the colonization idea, you might be able to convince me that mining fuel on the moon would be beneficial for large scale deep space missions, except we are not there yet. First we would need to make a spacecraft that can be refueled on the fly without needing massive work on...
