What is it with classic British games and AI-slop remakes lately? An insult to the original and I genuinely hope they fail.

Awesome stuff, especially that it’s a free update (although that’s pretty much expected with CDPR). Looking forward to playing through it again, along with Songs of the Past.

I fully admit that there are AI-generated images that could fool me. But that’s beside the point when like in this case, the images are in a very typical AI-style. It doesn’t look like they’ve put any effort into generating something that could fool people, but just went with what one of the more common models shat out. And those are still fairly obvious to detect IMO. Besides that, their process pictures really don’t make a lot of logical sense. I also find it quite unlikely that a human artist would miss a visual gag like the cow using a milk churn and just replace it with a generic blaster.

Sure, but you wouldn’t just render one horn and add the other one in photoshop. That makes no sense at all. You would duplicate the horn before rendering it.

Yeah, I really don’t want to falsely accuse anyone but… the human 3d-artist forgot to model one of the horns? That redraw has a very, let’s say, familiar style as well.

Vintage Story, a Minecraft-like game that focuses on a tough, realistic survival experience. There are climate zones and seasons. Things like smelting ores or growing food are much more involved than they are in Minecraft, which makes for a strong sense of progression when you’ve finally managed to make iron or build a windmill.

It’s in system settings -> accessibility -> button mapping

They didn’t remove anything - the button has the exact same functionality that it had at launch. You can also rebind it to any other button, so the whole premise of supposedly having to pay for using the button is kinda bullshit.

You can already rebind it in the system settings, no CFW needed.

Dude sounds like a slightly more coherent Trump. Even included the obligatory “I don’t even know her” line.

Got the email too. Oh well, guess my data got leaked again. Seems almost impossible to avoid these days if you ever want to buy something on the internet. At least it didn’t include my passport number this time, unlike when Interrail was hacked…

I have to say, though, that I don’t really get why Valve’s shipping partner needed to retain my data for months after shipping out my products.

I like them, it’s a fun way to replay old games. In general I like seeing statistics about my progress. It’s cool seeing that something I did in the game is something that only a small number of players did. However, I never look at the achievements beforehand or try to hunt specific ones down. At that point, they would no longer be fun for me.

Are we finally getting there?

Take a look at the exchange rate of the Yen compared to the Euro over the last 10 years and it should be clear why the Japanese prize is “cheap”. The Yen has lost a lot of its value, while Japanese wages haven’t risen accordingly. So prizing the game at an equivalent prize to EU or US would mean that the game would simply be unaffordable to Japanese people.

Mistakes happen but even then, convicting someone with that little evidence is pretty fucking egregious. He was clearly presumed guilty.

Hopefully they’ll finally release this thing before things get even worse. Still determined to get one, but I know I won’t like the price.

I wonder if they could do a hardware revision at some point that has all the standalone capabilities stripped out. They’ve really focused on the streaming capabilities rather than the standalone aspect in their marketing anyway. So I think a version without any storage and just enough power to stream from a PC could be a way more feasible product in the current market.

They still make them.

I don’t know about Switch games specifically, but at least in the DS-era, there were test-devices that games would be put in by factory workers before they were boxed and shipped. So they probably would have had slight scratches even when new.

In the end though, does it really matter if everything was in perfect condition otherwise? If those scratches weren’t there in the beginning, the would be there after first inserting the cartridge into the console. I’d get it if it was about collecting unopened games, but them removing the plastic wrapping pretty much makes that moot anyway.

The one-child policy was abolished in 2015, but birth rates have continued to decline after that. They currently have one of the world’s lowest fertility rates.
