Agree. The thing with realistic graphics is that it brings in soooo much complexity on a systems level that it becomes the center point everything else revolves around.

Imaging a 2d game vs a 3d game. Alone trough that you have a complete third dimension wich you have to account for.

A whole book full of new bugs are possible now.

And with realistic graphics the brain now expects the rules of the world to be realistic too.

My character looks photorealistic so, of course, the environment needs to look photorealistic too otherwise we go into uncanny valley territory.

So next thing the interaction needs to look realistic too. Think walking trough a forrest and the player character pushing leaves out of his way.

That is just to fucking much you need to test and invest time in to be flexible anymore.

The simple answer here is better art direction. Photorealism is neat but not needed.

With simpler graphics it becomes cheaper to change stuff in development so it becomes more viable to experiment with creative ideas.

You can have more diverse assets because they are, potentially, cheaper/less time consuming to make and they don’t take as much space.

Like 1 photorealistic tree needs as much discspace as 2 trees with half the polygons.

In the and gaming has become a business and people got involved that don’t play games.

For them it is just an investment and no different to a car or a garden hose. And for those people the only viable way to solve a problem is to trow money at it.

Which worked but only for making things grander not making it more interesting. For that you need people that solve problems with creativity.

And you get people who solve problems with creativity when there is less money because you have no other choice but to solve it like that.

That is clearly not the whole picture but a part of it IMHO.

I think at this point, if you are a gaming enthusiasts and are informed about the “scene” there is just no reason to buy AAA(AAAAAAA) games anymore.

And also no need to be angry about it. Just ignore them and talk about the indies that made a change. It is more productive to have that dominate the conversation than what sucks.

Because talking about shit is still advertisement for shit.

Not by itself but it certainly is a good criteria.

You mean that animal which is know for its 8 feet?

Yeah but “forged in shadow torch”? Come on.

They wanted to name it fist and went back from there. For that its bad IMO.

Pretty fitting name. You have 8 characters and you travel their path with them. Couldn’t be more fitting to be honest.

I don’t really understand the thing with fedora to be honest. I switched from windows to Linux and after trying some distros I endet up with fedora because everything worked.

So I am a beginner in this whole space.

After reading up on the controversy it seems to me that(in simple terms) fedora/rhel shut down a git repo which contained a compiled(?) os which other people took and then rebranded/gave another name.

The source code is still available in another git repo but here you have to compile it yourself and then have the same thing which you can rebrand.

I must be missing something because that does not seem like a big deal?

Jesus fucking Christ, why is everything a war? Its so fucking exhausting.

I propose you contribute to Foss software that you use.

With that you are motivated because you are invested in the project, you will see the effect of your work and you learn about the process of contributing and working in a team.

That should keep you going for a while. Best of luck.

We do.

If you scream into the void, sometimes, the void screams back. How is that surprising?

If they improve netcode and hitreg that game will be awesome. Fast respawns, fast rounds, shooting feels good. It is fun if you don’t want to commite alot.

To be fair, he did get him.

I would like to see a movie in which someone calls the cops and tells them that a terrorist ist running amok in a train station. The thing is that the terrorist is dressed as a cop and, of course, the cops start shooting each other. In the end it turns out they are all terrorists.

Because of the construction of those. The structure in itself is leight so that the wheels have less friction and turn more easily than a heavy train which needs a power source like coal or electricity to work against that friction.

Why the fuck would you pull a train instead of just carrying the stuff? That is the weight of the stuff plus the weight of the train :D

Thanks for filling me in.

Is that a robot? Looks uncanny.
