    You know youre tired when you zonk out on lunch and dream up a whole nother day in just 20 minutes, wake up all confused about where you are.

    Metro Exodus map editor and SDK

    That, I have NO doubt of. Unreal Engine is designed from the jump as a ready-to-use package of systems and tools for making a wide variety of games, as well as animated works. Whereas this was originally purpose-built for specific people to make a specific game. I think it will be a good while...

    Metro Exodus map editor and SDK

    Good questions. There are different applications. Like, I think it's possible to do partial illumination, factor in only certain sources. But generally I think it applies to all sources globally, factors in the whole 3D scene. You can probably tweak what is and isn't detected as a source to use...

    What are you playing?

    I actually don't mind. I've already waited longer than that. I think there's something a bit different about essentially holding the whole thing in your hand. You can change locations, basically take the game with you. Get more comfortable, not be so boxed-in. I swear to god, there's a feeling...

    What are you playing?

    Cmon man, I had a whole phase where I was looking at handhelds... and I had all but convinced myself a Steam Deck isn't worth it. But no... the next one lives in the back of my mind. At this point in its existence I won't buy the version currently out. The original actually looks pretty...

    Fallout 4, 9700k @ 5.1 Ghz., 32 GiB DDR4000: only a slight FPS diff. between 1080ti and 4090!

    Makes perfect sense to me. FO4 is a drawcall freak. Thanks for the tasty data. Very insightful. Also just wanna say, in spite of the L3 differences, none of these CPU's should be bottlenecking so badly there. The whole reason it's a problem in the first place is because FO4 is obscenely...

    What are you playing?

    I've had coffee late in the day due to extenuating circumstances... so I'm preparing for the fact that when I fire up Elden Ring, I'm going to be teleported to 3am. I really wanna push forward with this build, though. I'm going for a DEX/FAI hybrid and it's requiring a lot more levels, even...

    Let's gooooo! Vacation time is gonna be fun this year. It looks amazing, with tons of features/tools, and I cannot wait to play with it! I can't believe they actually did it.

    CPU/memory performance aside, I saw somebody bring up the Boston areas.... All of the city areas in FO4 are woefully unoptimized. Well... that's not fair. They are just poorly optimized. Basically, all of the static objects in a given cell are combined into one big monster mesh. If it's not...

    What WOULD be cool, is if they made that game... like nitty gritty, true to life OTG ops with all of the rules and procedures.

    I get the message they wanna send and all... but the game wont respond like a real life combat situation - the resulting experience wouldnt be a good analogy for how modern conflicts work. You just experience what playing a shooter poorly feels like because theyre built around action movie...

    I actually don't a good half of time, they themselves are in such a rush to contantly put out information that they often don't even have enough to make a fake story out of. It's all "Did THIS happen? Or did THAT happen? We don't know yet, but we're going to spend 10 minutes on empty...

    What are you playing?

    Got a random itch to play Chrono Trigger last night, but it was beyond too late. Stuck with me when I slept on it, so now I'm playing. The only thing I can really say right now, is the music is even better than I remember. That's yet another thing that makes this game truly unforgettable to me...

    It's a process a bit like keeping a garden. Nobody waits till harvest time to show off their gardens anymore, and it makes fast fools out of the majority when half of it doesn't pan out in autumn. Didn't wanna put the time in. I look at the news and feel dumb, like "How could anybody possibly...

    Borrowed opinions are basically normative now. It's like people have forgotten how to coexist with dissonance. There's a big rush to 'resolve' new information that challenges you, and a whole bunch of media lining up to bail you out. I think you're SUPPOSED to LIVE along side of those sensations...
