@Bobby

How to run ck2 with no graphics card?
Turn off the oceans, rivers, terrain, forests etc

What mods do you guys recommend for HoI 4 besides Kaiserreich?

That’s disgusting

First, if you’re going to use kaiserreich, don’t use other mods.

If you aren’t using Kaiserreich, get road to ‘56.

And then also get:
Formable nations
Strategic view adjustments
Destroy faction with members
More variants
Releasable states
Increased resources 1.5

thanks

@Dayv https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eMO87n-3Ibg Apparently this is 3+ <:pepelaugh:544857300179877898>

lmfao

Is that Jennifer Hale?!

We were discussing Youtube being retarded and advertising adult content to kids...

Kek.

Ratchet and Clank: 3+

Robot strippers

Lmao.

Big Riggs, a game where you get to lose your mind with LITERAL FTL imagery if you go in reverse, is rated E by the ESRB

Weren't the original Ratchet and Clank games rated T?

in the US

in the UK it's 3+

Google Stadia is out today, and it already looks like a monumental flop. (I heard from one person involved that preorders were below expectations.) Question is, will they eventually stop trying to sell games and switch to an all-you-can-eat subscription model? Or just let it die?

Talk about a rushed out product much...

A mouse cursor can be spotted during the end credits of the game.

Intel end-of-lifing BIOS and driver downloads for dusty hardware
You have four days left to nab what you need

It's okay, someone has probably drained that entire site and put it on their own server(s).

Stadia is... just okay

I wonder why, is it the data centers, or the servers that are so far away.
That it's encoding, and decoding, and resolution factor over via connection.
Or is it data throttling, or the scam to make you pay more for internet packages to have "Stream ready connection."

Stadia: Google's online game streaming service launches to complaints about lag
Early reviews suggest different results depending on the platform people are using to play the games.
> https://news.sky.com/story/stadia-googles-online-game-streaming-service-launches-to-complaints-about-lag-11864667

I'd gladly pay for a stream ready connection

ain't nobody selling though

Much PR, and garbage talk in alot of these articles.
Just think of it as a teamviewer based software with stadia.
Game streaming is about 2 more decades away to be good, because ISP's are fucking trash...

Stadia Flops At Launch With Widespread Issues & Underwhelming Sales
> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mEogcvbd-L8

I like to post positive sales and business news. It's awesome when the industry or a game is doing great

But.......uh.......yeah. How bout that Stadia launch today? Feels muted.

Don't think this is performing well at all commercially speaking

Intel will be addressing 77 security vulnerabilities this month

I have a suspicion that this will be the first step to stop piracy, for online gaming service, and have games on the cloud soon...

[TECH FIX]
Google Stadia Wants You to Replace Your Video Game Console. Don’t.
The search giant’s new console-free gaming service is a neat concept. But there are bugs and too many unknowns.

Genius fucking move

What if I fuck off to some internship or work in another country and internet isn't a part of the deal? What if I decide to live in the woods with no internet? Apparently people like that don't deserve to play games.

Thankfully, there's a few decades of games already made <:smugon:512048583806025739>

Game streaming.
The peak of inefficiency.

Here’s the future:
You’re watching a competitive game online.

It’s a stream of someone taking about a game they are watching that is being streamed to them by someone playing the game, but the resources for that game are themselves being streamed from another location... with data being sent/received to yet another location.

Don’t get me wrong. That’s amazing.

It’s also fkn stupid.

Guys
