I play it with hotas and it works fine. You’ll absolutely still want to keep a keyboard and mouse handy though because the RTS/management half of the game is really not that well controlled with a flight stick.

Also European here. They do. Certainly in the shops I’ve been in. Probably a country thing.

So long, and thanks for all the fish! Well, and the non-fish too. More is needed than just fish twinks for a well-rounded diet.

I feel that Htc have been exclusively underwhelming for a while, same goes for their new reveal, Vive focus vision i think. Nice stats for a wireless pcvr headset, but still uses fresnel lenses :(

Alright I have now played it. It’s not worth looking into. Sure it might improve down the line, but I have 0 hopes for that. Avoid it.

Since it’s free I will probably check it out. The style seems to be all over the place though, with little care for any kind of world consistency. Seems like a popular design choice with metaverse stuff, but that is usually because of user generated content, not just the developer throwing a bucket of paint on the wall.

Also that trailer is fucking awful lmao. Oh well, let’s see if the game is any better than it. The concept of a vr mmo is admittedly alluring, I prefer a bit of gameplay direction rather than the total openness of vrchat etc. A world to get immersed into.

My biggest problem with latex socks is all the squelching that starts happening as sweat pools up in the feet. Like wearing wet boots.

I know there are some with little air holes in the bottom though, got a pair like that?

This is NoP at home.

It gets very blurry in the early days of video games. Ahoy made a great video about just that, actually: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=uHQ4WCU1WQc&pp=ygUYYWhveSBlYXJsaWVzdCB2aWRlbyBnYW1l

Basically, there’s earlier games than pacman, but what actually constitutes a video game starts to become a much less trivial question.

But we probably all make it onto some list ^^

I agree for the most part. A company holding an iron grip on the game and keep the competitive scene alive as a marketing tactic is a recipe for disaster if we are to take it seriously as a long term sport. A company will not hesitate to shut things down if they unanimously decide they no longer want it to exist.

Regarding whether esports are sports or not is kind of arbitrary. The same as how we call competitive chess and darts and formula 1 sports despite being more mental than physical in nature.

Here is to hoping something will come out of it. Planned obsolescence is illegal for so much else, but somehow gaas get away with it.

Sure, they shouldn’t need to actively support an eol game with servers and whatnot, that would be impossible in some circumstances. Is it too much to ask companies to have a plan to transition their games into a serverless state instead of letting yet another piece of culture die though? I don’t think so.

I don’t agree with this take at all. Agent Smith was definitely evil, the machines were victims of capitalist exploitation, which they just turned right around on humanity once they took charge.

I suppose that point is mostly explored in the sequels though.

With the Death of Rats squeaking along, having the time of its life with this mischief.
