  • If you enjoy milsim games, I highly recommend GZW. Yes it’s pre-alpha but they ran out of money and were forced to go early access. They’ve since dropped a major update since that early access launch and me and my buddy have been having a blast.

    This isn’t a run around and shoot people game like call of duty, the devs want this game to be very realistic and tactical. You can have a lot of fun with the right mindset both with friends and solo. The discord and community in general are usually quite welcoming so you could find fireteam members that way too.








  • Damn so many Nextel push to talk ads just came rushing back into my memory.

    Also, how the fuck are AirPods “unreliable”??? I have a 1st gen pair that still works just as well as my other AirPod pro pair. They have hours of battery life and the case itself has an internal battery bank. How does profit have anything to do with wireless audio and the removal of phone jack??? They didn’t take away the jack to sell more headphones LMAO.

    I hate wires and I’ll physically fight anyone who says we shouldn’t do wireless simply because some anssholes exist.





  • How exactly is the rest of AI a different conversation??? Were talking about the power requirements of running AI at scale and somehow you think it’s not only correct but implied that this convo should just be about colloquial parts AI and anything else is a totally different topic in regards to power consumption?

    totally deserving of the hate it gets

    Yeah so breakthroughs in chemistry and other sciences for example, deserving of hate eh?

    Nothing good comes from AI… when all you know about AI is colloquial lmao



  • So if that’s true then why did nobody buy Callisto protocol then? If it’s not about deadspace but instead about EA being greedy, then why did one of the original deadspace devs go and make their own legally distinct version of deadspace with a big budget and a brand new studio — just to see it fall on its face and fail?

    Maybe the market isn’t interested at the moment as they’ve already turned their nose up at DS remakes from EA as well as spiritual successors from the original DS devs??

    Oh, but EA can’t market add-on content? As if DLC story and new modes doesn’t exist?? You seriously think EA is incapable of developing DLC and charging money for it???


  • They kinda did, and the person you replied to mentioned it — Callisto protocol

    given the budget was like 160 mil, not exactly Indy but:

    “The Callisto Protocol was a brand-new IP from a newly established studio, but he game received mixed reviews from critics, which may have affected its appeal to players. The PC version of the game was plagued by performance problems at launch, which may have deterred some players.”



  • It’s an old series that has already tried remakes that failed and the original creator went and made their own deadspace but as a totally distinct IP and it too did not sell well….

    But yes, EA can’t manipulate kids into gambling so that is totally the reason why they aren’t renewing the series…. Yeah it’s about tricking children into to gambling and totally not investing in something the market has clearly shown to be not interested in at the moment.

    Lastly, yeah, EA is a piece of shit for using mtx and the like to trick people in general into chasing bullshit, but I think it doesn’t help anyone to regurgitate unrelated claims whenever possible.

    When they’re pushing lootboxes into kid games, then cry about it there. This has nothing to do with that.
