150€ will net you a stay in most countries in the EU except scandinavia and too big cities.

For 150€ a day, Budapest, Warsaw, Split, Prague, Vilnius, Salamanca, etc.

Be mindful of where you rent, make sure to have travellers insurance, don’t get scammed for BS reasons (like peeps trying to make you believe you need to pay high money to use the autobahn in Czechia). Be mindful of pickpockets anywhere southwest of Paris and enjoy the food and locals.

If the SD pans out well in the control scheme, this one is going in the library.

Ok, this is made to sound worse than it is. You guys really huff too much drama.

I’m in love

If you want stability and ease of use similar to Windows, I highly recommend Fedora Silverblue, Kinoite or Bazzite. Optimus is working (now, asus gfxctl was broken for two weeks due to a new kernel) every keyboard shortcut is working, and, for some unknown miracle, battery life is better than windows. I’m on a G14.

They compare DLSS4 to TAA rather than DLSS for clicks. Safe to ignore

Possibly. Wanna set fire to Andrew Wilson and use that to ignite the rocket to send Riccitiello to orbit. I’ll bring the lighters and beverages while we watch the firework.

a case that ‘they make poor games and thus it doesn’t matter that they’re laid off’

Oh, not at all, it does matter they’re laid off. They make poor games because that’s all that they know, since companies like EA churn out blueprint made after blueprint made games with no spirit or excitement, built only to leverage the IPS they own (and other EA studios the same, DeadSpace3…). They basically adopted the *FC25 strategy company-wide (except 3rd pty indie publishing) which has created a vacuum of talent and imagination. This situation has been evident for more than a decade. They acquire/absorb talented studios, get rid of those pesky expensive senior workers and milk the franchises to the ground. That’s the EA MO. Sadly, people joined Bioware hoping to get a successful AAA game on their resumé to bolster their chances at pursuing greener pastures, the gamble didn’t pan out. Good luck to them, especially non programming staff, since code monkeys find a much better job market than English majors. Also, it’s a travesty the lady who led DAV got canned. She had worked on Sims games before and was handed a shit hand to play with. At the end of the day, the whole Institutional Knowledge schtick is a misnomer because very little of it was present in the latest round of layoffs at Bioware, they’re assembly workers now. Doesn’t mean they are less important, just means the larian marketing guy is talking out of his arse for clout.

That said, at the end of the day, the writing was on the wall. This goes for EA, Ubisoft, MS, et al. If you’re on the bottom, your arse is out the next time line goes down. Join a private studio instead, like Larian, they pay less but pay longer!

Edit: Almost forgot, fuck John Riccitiello to the moon on a fucking rocket. Him and Don Matric are the main responsible people for the shit environment we have in the games industry today.

Same guy who happens to be an exec.

Same guy who said “marketing is dead” is playing the CDPR startegy “we’re the good guys” to endear himself with the public. It’s a dangerous game, especially when he decides jack shit about game structure, engine, writing et al. He’s Literally a marketeer.

Regarding Bioware, I actually went to check game release dates. Turns out the signals they were bleeding talent were there already when ME3 released, roughly 13-15 ago. Wow, ty for mentioning that, Bioware has had 15 of releasing bland crap I don’t find good. Given the current state of the studio, I’m not the only one with that view, clearly.

Yes, I’m sure this 2025 article comes right on time to address the 15y old layoffs that gutted Bioware before you could speak.

What institutional knowledge? Most of the people who made the games we loved at Bioware are long gone… EA found them to be too expensive so they resorted to hiring cheaper “talent” like Heir. Now it’s too late, they have the IP but none of the passion and inventiveness.

Nobody is advocating for cross burning. People need to rise against the first steps of a totalitarian government that only serves the oligarchy.

You can stop using stupid shit like “cishet white” for starters. Statistically, most people who do not care will be cishet white. Those who care, will also mostly be cishet white. With this type of exclusionary discourse bordering on racism, no one will ever listen to you because from the start, you already sound like you have nothing important to say. There’s three types of people in the US: Slaves working 2 and 3 jobs to make ends meet, middle class being pit against the slaves by the third group, the capital. By using exclusionary discourse, assimilated from bougie fake activism, you’re promoting infighting within the classes that should be hunting the capital like animals, the French way!

Edit: your country has sacrificed countless children to never eschew the right to bear arms. Well, stop bitching online to make yourself feel good and use them.

Let the FUD begin!

Arrrrright.

Huh, I think they forgot a pretty big regime in the headline…

Remember Marty Straton is a grade A cunt. Boycott doom.

I’m never paying for an ID game while Stratton is around, which is fine, because after the MS acquisition, there’s only one direction to the quality of the franchises…

By design. Cut all the middle men (including thousands of jobs in logistics, distribution and sales) and absorb all of that trickled down wealth upwards in the form of bonuses to the gents who annihilated an entire industry, not by lack of demand, but because the incentive structure is completely opposite to the interests of society at large.

Did they use MS’s AI to copy Mick Gordon’s music after shafting him?! Marty is a POS. Not buying this game or any other ID game till they pay Mick, apologise, and boot Marty. There’s a wealth of boomer shooters available to choose from, this isn’t that impressive.

Why think when you can emote right? I’m take a wild guess and say there’s an ocean between us…
