You f*d up at the part where you didn’t start explaining in song, orchestra and all.

Isn’t it true specifically on Windows, because the Windows implementation of OpenGL is lacking, but false on Linux?
That is what surprises me with this announcement: we moved a while ago from a more powerful, limited number of cores to smaller, more numerous, and less consuming cores. Power consumption increases to the square of the frequency of the processor, so what is the advantage of moving away from that model?
Same: I got both Arkham Knight and The Witcher 3 with my 980! That’s actually one of the reasons I bought one: I had planned to buy both games anyway, it made me “save” (as in, not spend) that much money. And given that it was NVIDIA’s flagship at the time, it worked quite well with that GPU and I wouldn’t have noticed the performance issues if I had not read so much backlash about them.
Off the top of my head:
From what I recall, most of these were criticized for lacking the hand-crafted textures and lighting that the originals had. For obvious reasons, since most remasters are AI-enhanced textures, upgraded engines and little to no handcraft ever comes into play.
Did they actually fix the performance of AK or did we just get better hardware to run the game better?
They actually pulled it from Steam for a while, and re-released it properly a few weeks later. But yes, they ended up fixing it properly, and it’s probably one of the best-looking games of its generation on PC. The photo mode, in particular, is stellar.
Good points, but a few of these are mixing up controversy with genuine critics.
Some people managed to make it run on the SD, you may need to try the demo first. It’s a shame that it’s not supported officially, it’s exactly the kind of games I enjoyed playing on the platform.
I would classify Soulslike as a subgenre of Metroidvanias, but sure. I also oversaw what is arguably the most characteristic characteristic in Soulslike games: the loss of all currency on death, with a possible retrieval.
It was a 3D Metroidvania, not really Soulslike IMO: the abilities unlocked as the game progresses that allow the player to explore places they couldn’t go or take shortcuts they couldn’t take are the staple of Metroidvanias, and so many people seem to forget it, but that rest to save / enemies respawn mechanic was in many Metroidvania games long before Dark Souls. I would also say that Souls-like games are characterized by their build variety and combat difficulty, which were notably absent from J:FO.
I didn’t know Tom Zarek was a returning actor from the original BGS series! And the actor of Captain Apollo, no less.
I would go as far as to say that this is for sure an opinion.
It’s a really solid Metroidvania, with beautiful design, music and story. It’s not the best Metroidvania (my vote would go to Hollow Knight) but the game is really good. The sequel is great too!
I don’t know how far in you went: the first half-hour or so is just slow storytelling. And just like all Metroidvanias, your set of powers at the beginning is very limited and isn’t so interesting. However, the game is well enough paced that as soon as you’re comfortable using your current power set, the game unlocks a new mechanic, and it never really stops until the end. It especially shines if you’re a completionist IMO, as being able to go back to each area to explore it to 100% with the whole power set feels really great.
I get my comics on getcomisc.org or Soulseek. The first one has good sources and a few collections, although nothing I’d call an actual “bulk”. With Soulseek you can download the batches of your choice.
You might not know that because this “spice” only exists in the US and I just learned it myself, but pumpkin spice has nothing to do with pumpkin flavor. It’s called that way because it’s the mix of spices used in pumpkin pies: cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, ginger and cloves.
Isn’t the Pi 3B still available for that kind of job?
I just can’t get enough of that Mediterranean lentil dahl.
Raw? Yes. Cooked? Hell no.
There are a few missing points in there IMO, like which of your ingredient is cooked, or how are they sliced? Graped carrots rises the score, but cook them and it’s less likely to be a salad. Diced radish? Not in my salad, especially not cooked, but thinly sliced raw radish definitely belongs. And don’t even get me started on tomatoes.
I’m pretty sure Microsoft will be developing software emulation layer for Windows ARM, so it can support backwards compatibility on as many kinds of ARM processors as possible. But since Snapdragon is only claiming that this works on the X Elite, it’s either a matter of performance, or hardware restrictions?
