Empire

I feel like the best part of this is the realism of the character/player development. He steps out and immediately dies. His next try he's a bit more confident and he has a bigger weapon but still dies. You see him progressively get more skilled. It's something I like to see. Not what I play though

Used to be Bioware. Now it's between CD Projekt Red or Naughty Dog. Although Bioware can still climb back to 1st if they do a good job with the next Dragon Age.

Start with the instrument you like the best. The most important thing in learning any instrument is to practice, and you will practice more if you like the instrument. I mean I'm bad at playing. I'd say guitar because it isn't terribly expensive (Can get a decent used one for like $50), and isn't particularly hard. Plus, there's a wealth of free instruction in the interweb, in addition to tabs to whatever song you'd ever want to play. Or free as in YouTube from your own home 😛

bad pacing is when the game story/level design either take to long to get good/interesting or have a fluctuation that is bad like long breaks of boring content, It depends on the context. RDR2 had pacing complaints. Basically it takes too long to become immersed into the game. I'm currently having that problem with Watch Dogs 3

I think the cultural belief in crunch time is very rare. Judging by the amount of people that champion the idea that crunch time is terrible. The kind of people who romanticize it are usually early 20s start-up "entrepreneurs" who think if you kill yourself to make a product, it's a guaranteed cool billion. For the love of god beware those people.

Well, I do not even have 2000 or even 3000 series cards, plus not all games even support it even. Ray tracing is definitely something that will improve over time. In most games it still doesn't seem worth it to turn on. For example in Cold War Zombies, with all settings maxed out, with a 3090 using DLSS Quality at 4K, the game around 145-160fps with ray tracing off. With the ray traced shadows and ambient occlusion on medium, It can drop to 70-100 fps. Almost a 50% reduction in performance for ray tracing that is barely noticeable. Definitely not worth it.

Looks really cool, I love the art style, very castle crashers/hollow knight’esque. in my opinion, indie games have been killin it! Basically every upcoming game that intrigues me are indie games

I think that we will see more inspired developers who wanted to do this from a very young age. I heard some reports that Game Development is one of the biggest jobs that kids want to do when they’re older. I think that with so many people wanting to do this, only the kids who actually took a jab at development and had original ideas will be hired because they can’t hire everyone. So hopefully we see even better indies and AAA titles over the next few years. I also want to see more opportunities for budding developers. What the heck happened to valve pipeline? We need ways for kids to learn this stuff and also have role models in the industry that aren’t just players. They need a new gabe or reggie to look up to.

I used to love just driving around in GTA: Vice City, listening to the awesome 80s music. I remember one moment where I caught some air, the game went into the slo-mo cinematic view with the sun setting in the background as More Than This was playing on the radio and it was just sublime. I fucking love that game.

Always, even gaming with other people we talk about gaming

I have many favorite games, MAny that I do not play again like age of empire's or even GTA 4, then again I always like going back to those days when I was playing it and watching videos that I did back when doing YouTube. I still do have them installed. Anything flying related sims is my go to go game, plus DayZ

I sometimes buy things and don't get around to playing them, but usually what will happen is I beat a game that I really enjoyed, sell it, and later when it's cheaper buy it again, but having already beaten it, I don't open it. Then years later I have an unopened game that I would be foolish not to sell and pick up an open copy should I want to play it again.

Not looking forward to another 200GB game size and would take days to download LOL

Even older I mean some good looking cars also 🙂 Rather like the old cars for the looks then the new

Not directly, but playing videos games can make you learn new skills in away or make you even worse. GTA RP back in GTA 4 days was the game that got me into social gaming or at least meet new people and made good mates online 😉 Also Ages of Empires. Strategy games I think really helped me develops strategic thinking in other areas of life when I got older. I played hundreds of hours in 5-8th grade.

Well, going to say why giveup gaming while you are making money as you are gaming 🙂

Made basic mods for GTA 4 bac kin the day, but not anymore. I have those files still uploaded till this day 🙂 But who does GTA 4 nowadays other then new titles. I rather make skins for cars or aircrafts that I do with Flight sims 😉

I’ve heard Stardew Valley is extremely calming and a fun, on your own pace farming game. Never played it but wanted to suggest it, yet you can get old of games that runs from a USB drive, like Age of empire's or Halo or even games like battlefeild 😉 I had those games while at school/collage and playing them in my lunch break back in the day on old XP systems

Games like age of empire's 2 that came out back in the day and looks the same till today even with HD edtion 😉

Very Important. Music is very important to me in general so when I play a game with shitty music, it tends to bring down the experience. Memorable soundtracks like Ocarina of Time bring back a rush of nostalgia any time I hear the music. The ambient soundtrack in Resident Evil 4 just adds to the suspense of the game making it so much better.

Klonoa: Door to Phantomile on the PS1. Honestly one of my favorite platformers of that generation, with a unique story. Too bad the world got flooded with mascot platformers around that time. This game really stood out among the rest.

Not my field, but I would say medical and technically most jobs, because while not hands on training, it can be pretty close to the real thing if the application has a budget and team behind it, and some people including me learn pretty much mostly once you actually start doing it. I forget like 86% of the things learned by ear.

Just had a look into the site, I'm impressed that it also helps those that ate into twitch streaming and helps them to grow. I see benifits formyself then to grow on twitch myself. Not trying to advertise here, but you get my point 🙂 I'm lucky yo have a great group of online friends that I have and on Discord, however metting more new people going to be also great and having to find more people that willing to do what I want to do other then getting told by others what I can't and can do you know. Hell, might be the frist for microsoft flight simulator 2020 on epal 😛

I do not get any calls that often anyway and never had to miss a call. Might get one call a month 😛 Who calls nowadays with SMS and emails and apps that gives you free calls 😛

Nope, I wish. I do not even drive. I like to ride in some old classic sports car 🙂 they are good looking and you really hear the engines saying hi at you.
