I have played around with eViacam (https://eviacam.crea-si.com/index.php [External Link]) and Euro Truck Simulator 2 back in the day. It did work pretty well, because it simply simulates mouse input. Unfortunately did not get to try it for a longer period of time, because my main gaming setup did not have a webcam.

Are we back to blaming video games for the problems of our society? I thought that was so last year.

No matter how fun it may be, as a 50+ year old man, I just can't bring myself to try out a game about racing "horse girls"...

I'm 23 soon, and I couldn't agree more.

I am 40, and I say sign me up buckaroo!

One good thing about being an adult is that you get to decide what you like and what your hobbies are. Life is too short to deprive yourself of happiness just because not an adult thing to do.

Some game developers and artists in general are absolutely paranoid delusional about their creations. It's like taking a screenshot will take their soul. Some are worse than others, but I have definitely met a few when I was involved with web and app development.

Programmers on the other hand, insert "I stole your code" "It's not my code" meme.

And I'm so tired of those that I'm actually considering a blanket refund policy on anything that needs upscaling to perform.

I think upscaling is fine when used properly. I remember Serious Sam Fusion had an upscaling option already in 2017, which allowed me to enjoy the game on my shitty laptop back then.

Now frame generation is what baffles me. It actually causes artefacts, lag, and other self-induced problems just to get that artificially high FPS number.

Here is an article that sums it up quite nicely. A bit lengthy and ranty, but worth a read:

What are "game capsules"?

Is I have no friend a valid answer ?
Insert forever alone meme

You don't need friends to enjoy Left 4 Dead 2.

I played the whole thing by myself several times, and it is a great game. There are a few parts where playing with bots does lack a certain human touch, but otherwise the bots do a pretty good job. Sometimes even better than people, because they play at your pace.

So go play it. It's worth it.

There is no relation between nazism and soviet symbols. They are two entirely different ideologies.

Insert same, same, but different, but still same meme here.

Sure, there were differences, but not in a good vs. evil sense. Both were violent genocidal regimes fighting over influence. The reason why they were on opposite sides is because both wanted control over Europe.

My people did not join the soviet empire willingly. Many were deported to concentration camps in Siberia and died there. Others died fighting. We did not want nazis and we did not want soviets, but neither cared about what we wanted. So yeah, I don't see much of a difference.

I was born in the soviet empire, and for me a hammer and sickle is much the same as the nazi swastika. The difference is that nazis are no more, and I don't need to worry about them busting through my front door. Russians on the other hand are still erecting statues for the genocidal maniac Stalin, and keep threatening to destroy Europe. So even if I don't support changing games for political reasons, you cannot expect the devs to be impartial and neutral just for the sake of art when their homes are being bombed and friends being killed.

Sorry for getting all worked up, it's a painful topic for me.
