I hope everyone gets a good break. Happy holidays, and here's to a crazy fun 2026.

Quoting: linuxor001Chronology wasn't playable before? how did i play it

It might have been a regression in 10 that didn't exist before. Nothing to worry over - I've seen that said about a few games I've had perfectly good experiences with!

I don't care about their third commitment, provided they're true to their first commitment which will allow me to turn all that AI shite off.

However, even the commitment to AI is depressing. As another comment before this noted... there are so many better ways to use their resources than cram unwanted AI features into what's almost the last bastion of non-Google browsers.

Edit... I've just read the post and their "double bottom line" manifesto, and it's clear that they're going all in on AI. Goddamit. Time to look for another browser.

FUCK! (sorry) So angry.

I still call 'em horde survival, tbh. You're surviving against a horde. Bullets are rarely involved. And we already have a bullet-hell tag.

But whatever - it's good to have a tag for it here, that's what's important.

Quoting: 14Do any of the complainers explain what they want it to look like? Or is that a guessing game? I can't tell if people want it to look retro with higher resolution, or if they want it to look like Space Marine 2 fidelity.

It looks okay to me, a decent enough upgrade from the original Deus Ex. But the problem is that Revision, the community upgrade, is already available, and free. And while it doesn't look as good as this, the high-def models really are a huge jump, so now this remaster is looking pretty lacklustre.

Quoting: Brokatt

Quoting: scaineHard to get excited about this when not only is our O/S not supported, but the features are largely locked to the underwhelming 9000 series of cards.

It promises a nice direction of travel, but there's just nothing really tangible yet.

While I do agree with you on the first part, I don't find the 9000 series to be underwhelming at all. On the contrary I have been very happy with the performance of my 9070 XT which I picked up for a decent price on Black Week. It was a good jump in performance compared to my 5 year old RX 6800 and has been working great under CachyOS.

But I guess it largely depends on you expectations and what you compare them to.

Good point! It's underwhelming (for me) because I have a 7900xtx, so not much a performance jump.

I've got the first Monster Hunter (Worlds?) which was fun, and was looking forward to Wilds, but you know how I feel about Denuvo. No interest. I think there's a third one too, right? Rise?

If they keep sticking that shitty anti-consumer BS on their games, I'll keep not buying them.

I've just started a Deus Ex run last week! But then, I also started a Thief Gold run... and now I can't decide which to play when I'm in the mood for some retro gameplay!

I had some time off a couple of weeks ago, and pulled the trigger on Avowed. Absolutely stunning game - like a cross between Skyrim's open world and interesting characters, and Dark Messiah of Might and Magic's visceral combat. The dodge, block, attack almost feels souls-like at times, and some of the fights are just absolutely immense. Incredibly fun game.

Otherwise, just Path of Exile 2 as usual, but the Abyssal League finished a few days ago, and the new Last Druid expansion launches tonight, with a new league kicking off. Can't wait. PoE2 is incredible, I love it.
