Knuc U Kinte posted:I just meant game over. I ran out of morale and didn’t understand what happened at the time also i don't think the game clearly tells you this, but: as you hit zero in morale/health you have like 2-3 seconds to hit the button to use a healing item to prevent death. which is pretty kind really.

as punishing it is, Diabotical is a really charming attempt to allow a soft entry into a q3a clone. i have played a couple of rounds with way better friends each night since it released, and have found it a nice little adrenaline peak to wrap up the active part of the evening on.

haveblue posted:weren't the 3080 and the 3080ti announced together i bought a 2060 super a year ago, and it was only last month i discovered that one of the ram chips on it is bad, and likely was bad all along. turns out the driver quite reliably allocates memory from lower to higher physical addresses, and the broken chip was gigabyte 6 out of 8. the only reason i discovered it was that i got two 4k monitors and apparently finally needed more than 62% of the memory i paid for. since it feels a huge waste to send it back (i presume they just toss them in a bin after verifying they are indeed faulty) i wrote a little cuda program which runs on wake and allocates all the memory it can get, checks if it seems to store some random junk correctly, and frees any that is fine. turns out i just have way more vram than i need anyway.

Mad Wack posted:the plot makes sense because it’s the greek gods and they were famously insanely dumb and horny - that’s why people like them so much it’s like real people was going to say, i haven't played it, but the description sure sounds like a greek drama sort of thing. a bunch of human drama that makes sense only in isolation, a broader framework with no logic whatsoever, and things magical closure at the end.

The_Franz posted:in what should be no surprise to anyone, turning on the raytracing stuff absolutely murders performance even on $1500 video cards to some extent i think this was always the point with rtx. it doesn't matter that it doesn't even look *that* interesting, but we have another 10 generations of voodoo1-era performance gains to chase as it turns out the amount of rays needed to achieve the full effect is truly monstrous. without having to grow the costs of assets 1000x importantly.

also even with the current whining they're likely to get the botw effect where half the people buying it on the previous gen end up rebuying it on the new gen in a year or two. no way this kind of game actually underperforms in 2020.

Jim Silly-Balls posted:that’s an extremely cool and also extremely Nintendo thing to do. reuse your character creator from two console generations ago that’s been honed to make semi-realistic randomized characters and use it to fill your flagship release-day game with NPC’s on your new console certainly better than being bethseda, expending 300x the effort while getting npcs who all look like they had their face replaced by a factory-reject halloween mask.

1978-1980 is kind of a sweet spot for the birth of recognizably "proper" games though. space invaders, more complex home games like adventure on the 2600, zork, mud1 and rogue on the computer side.

The Fool posted:wargroove is good it's *fairly* good, but playing through it right now is precisely what is making me wish for another advance wars. in all flavour wargroove is superior, but they mess with the formula in making it a bit less puzzly and more of a slog. too many units being sort of OK against others where advance wars has a really hardcore rock-paper-scissor thing with very decisive wins to each tiny skirmish. add to that capping villages doing damage to the unit, and all maps being quite large, making levels drag out with a ton of damaged units of greatly diminished usefulness cluttering your map.

Just everything about the whole experience from WMR to Steam VR to Alyx itself is completely devoid of explanations and is a multi-hour puzzle in its own right. the windows vr/ar/mr stuff seems real clearly to be some high-up executive being really excited about that dumb poo poo for precisely 6 months, enough to drive having to do some half-assed implementations but not enough to make anything good or relevant. not that it is clear it is an area where anything good or relevant *could* be made.
