Helldivers 2 now delisted in 177 countries
  • I wonder how many times I will have to see a publisher significantly harm their reputation in the PC market in a yolo bet to set up their own ecosystem and store.

    I thought Sony had been conservative and decided against it when their first steam releases hit but with this move it seems possible that a Sony PC ecosystem was always in the works and it just wasn't ready for those original releases. Oh well.

  • AMD confirms Radeon GPU sales have nosedived
  • Because you have wasted like 5 opportunities that NVIDIA has given you to penetrate the market on a silver platter

    The 7000 series could have been so successful if they would have been willing to undercut NVIDIA significantly, it was the perfect time to strike at a time when there was a lot of discontent with NVIDIAS ridiculous pricing and VRAM offerings. But AMD would rather sell two cards at 1000 each than take the bet of trying to sell four at 750.

    At least in the past you could argue that they were not in a position to take huge bets in the graphics market but they've been doing too well as a company for that excuse to hold any value anymore. The last two generations can only be explained with complacency and lack of ambition.

    At this point AMD kinda deserves to give up their position to Intel in the graphics market, let's see if the new player is willing to penetrate aggressively because the old player two is clearly ok with where they are at.

  • Discord starts down the dangerous road of ads this week
  • I mean most probably yeah, but they have also been progressively locking more and more functionalities behind paid tiers.

    Now that they have fully penetrated and locked the market, killed any potential competitors, and become the default, I assume their "product" will be to make the free tier become less and less functional while also getting monetized in more annoying ways. If people don't like it maybe they should have known better than to make it the default.

    Unfortunate.

  • Sega sells off Relic Entertainment, will axe 240 jobs
  • damn, I knew that Sega had had a few big blunders lately, but having to straight up sell Relic is pretty huge... Wonder how their output will look from now on, it's no secret that some of their output under Sega was questionable (primarily Dawn of War 3) and one has to wonder how much of their failings were due to Sega's directive.

  • What is a bad video game that you enjoy?
  • Wanted Dead

    But I don't agree with the general perception that it is "bad", because in all the aspects that actually matter for making an action game fun, it was actually really good. It just got blasted for being lacking (admittedly, very lacking) in production value because somehow we are still giving importance to that in the 2020s...

  • [Second Wind ] I Can Stop Playing Balatro Whenever I Want | Cold Take
  • Fuck this game, it has damaged my psyche

    The amount of times that I had like a 70% chance of drawing what I needed in the last discard alone and didn't, or the amount of times that I had a beautiful synergized build and a boss that disables it appeared by "coincidence", argh.

    Yet I can't stop playing it

  • Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection - Announce Trailer | PS5 & PS4 Games
  • oooooh shit 32v32 is gonna be a beautiful mess in certain maps like Polis Massa or Tantive, I can't wait

    This is low key one of my favourite multiplayer games ever so this revival out of nowhere has made me super happy

  • Finally trying a resin printer, anything special I should know/any tips?

    After getting frustrated with some mechanical issues in my FDM printer lately, and realizing that most of what I do with it are jobs probably more appropriate for a resin printer, I impulse ordered a cheap resin printer just to try if they are a better fit for me.

    I have read that you need to be a bit more careful with a resin printer in certain aspects. I haven't informed myself much about it yet, but from what I understand:

    1 - You really don't want to be in the same room while printing, and it should be in a room with a window open or in a balcony or something similar. 2 - Always wear gloves and a mask when dealing with the material or the prints. 3 - You don't want the sun to ever hit the material for long until you have completed the print. 4 - Optionally you can get a curing machine that does a "second pass" of light, if you don't get this you should expect prints to be somewhat "gooey" and less defined. 5 - Always clean the prints with alcohol and scrub them with some sort of brush to get residues off. This would come after the last past of curing. 6 - The prints are done "upside down" and you should set your supports accordingly.

    Is there anything else I'm missing? Is any of that wrong, or are there any caveats about it? I would greatly appreciate any info about the particularities, and also any stories and experiences that you wanna share about resin printing.

    Thanks!
