If he did he must have been on a week long MD 20/20 and absinthe bender.


Way more positive than I expected I think. Anyway, PlayStation fanboys are jizzing themselves over Intergalactic and I don’t fucking care. Also Ken Levine’s Bioshock spiritual successor Judas is full on girlboss too.

Nobody wants to see a bald black chick

Black chick period, but indeed the bald trend is the worst of that already-terrible subset.

I'm playing Zero Company, and for some reason my white male Hawks has a black female portrait when I'm editing his profile. I think black female is the default for "Human" in the game. Good stuff.

looks like I need to upgrade my 4090. Civ IV is too demanding. On first launch it put everything on low and ran at 720p and when I tried to up the reso to native and max everything out, it fucking crashed.

Cross posting from another thread since it probably makes more sense here. New game scoring website that looks like a better approach than current websites.



And the details on how it works.

Initial thought is that this is pretty cool. Seeing the review sentiment over time with X axis markers when patches hit is interesting. Here's No Man's Sky:

Very cool site but the problem is for something like this it requires a history and you won't get this for new releases when games are at their highest price.
It doesn’t really require it, it shows them while in EA and on release day. Better alternative than the websites that post one score on release day and that’s all you ever get. It would have the same value as those sites on day one then just become better from day two onwards.

Why does it require it though and how is it at a disadvantage to other review sites?

It's not a disadvantage when compared to current review sites. It's just the selling point of the site requires historical data points.
Well it will also capture day 1 review numbers at day 1. Then as those numbers increase or decrease, it captures that.

It offers, at bare minimum, the same data as other sites. And then the value of the data increases as the days tick by and more data is available and collected. At least that's my understanding of how it works. (or should work)

Too bad that CEO couldn't hop in and acquire/integrate SteamDB with VideoGamesCritic, add engagement figures to the review trends.

It needs an "ignore this retarded faggot propagandist" option like Opencritic used to have before they sold out and turned into a slightly less shitty version of Metacritic. I don't need to be told that Bloomberg, Forbes, PC Gamer, Polygon, etc. aren't 'trustworthy', I want to see a score that doesn't include their worthless opinions at all.

Nexus had problems before but they ran into even more issues because they are UK based. "Is it because of the staff or is it because of UK legality?" is a rotten way to sandwich the gamer community.
