Downunder.
Death Mark is priced at $56 AUD so it falls within the realms of expectation. Going to watch what GMG will come up with in regards to price since their page still says coming soon.

Am I missing something? These responses are annoying as f*ck.

"Valve did the same with HL2"
"That's how you enter a market"
"perhaps Valve fixes their shitty client now"
wait ... what?

Oh now I see. Seems I was looking at the Tweet that Casey was replying to. I'm in sick leave with the flu this week, my internal CPU works at reduced speed because of the fever 😕

(gonna play some Grim Dawn as soon as my headache is gone tho ☺)

Sorry for the huge picture. It looked fine on my phone 😏

Sekiro is incredible
AI The Somnium Files had a release date announced
SEGA is making a sakura wars for ps4 which I guess will come to pc as well at some point

That SAO game is actually pretty neat so far. It looks pretty good and has a pretty good character creator. Lots of sliders and faces and hairstyles and stuff.
And you can actually make 2 characters with it! Like in Dragon's Dogma, your character and an AI companion.

Needs a bunch of tweaks to be acceptable though.
It uses Easy Anti-Cheat for cheat protection (it has online modes), but that shitty program also blocks the Steam overlay, so you can't take screenshots or use the Steam Configurator. Thankfully you can launch the game with the anti-cheat disabled (lol) and then everything works as expected.
Also disabling Chromatic Abberation is an ini-tweak and not possible in the options. Highly recommended. It looks bad.

Surprised by the Mouse + Keyboard support though. It's shit in menus, but the tutorials have the correct keys/buttons and sometimes even entirely different text, specifically for them.

The intro is humongeausly long so I didn't actually have a chance to do any shlooting outside the short combat tutorial.

i don't do alt-account ... don't need to - i was never banned anywhere
Yeah, it seems my edit saying i doubt you have an Alt went missing. I can't blame myself for not actually saving the edit so i'm going to blame forum gremlins. yeah.

Also, you missed one...
I think lashman's alt-account over on Era has had a threadbackfire something chronic.
Shlooter is winning the poll. lol, some people aren't happy, heh.

formula fusion getting rebranded an a huge coming

we’ve re-branded Formula Fusion as "Pacer"
  • we are removing the Purchase option as we’re going to be increasing / changing the price when we launch Pacer later this year / summer
  • existing owners will still be able to play the game they have in their libraries and can expect a massive update at launch
  • Pacer will launch on XB1/PS4 with a free update on Steam. A new game; bigger, better, more polished in every way and a price to reflect this.

Release
On final release the game formerly known as Formula Fusion will be called Pacer and will feature:
  • a brand new UI and branding while retaining all the Designers Republic graphics
  • 14 Tracks: 6 brand new ones and 8 you’ll recognize from before but polished and improved until you can see you face in them
  • 5 Craft, each with its own handling characteristics but massively customizable in the Garage
  • 10 Weapons, including 4 new ones. Every one with considerably polished FX and mechanics plus new Modification cards
  • Loadouts for Handling, Weapons and Cosmetics
  • a completely rebuilt SinglePlayer Campaign based around playing through Careers in the 10 teams
  • a new auto-targeting system
  • a hugely optimized fps on Steam - a 1070 GPU maintains an average 140fps approx, maxing out at 200fps approx
  • new music from Cold Storage (8 track OST) and licensed tracks from a bunch of old favorites including DubFX and a many more
  • upgraded FX
  • upgraded Sound FX some by Tim Wright himself
  • hosted servers
  • Spectator mode from outside of the Lobby for viewing races from any craft at any angle: Chase, Nose, Orbit and Environment cameras
  • Tournament Mode multiplayer: set up a series of races in your Lobby, results update after each race
  • Ranked Mode for multiplayer: Results increase or decrease your ELO score in one global game leaderboard. Who will top it?!
  • voice chat in multiplayer - you’ve just blown up, tell them how you really feel!
  • a unique race mode for single and multiplayer which we’ll be revealing nearer to launch
  • a re-written physics and handling system
  • re-engineered, machine learning AI to give everyone a challenge
  • a massive lore expansion on the flip side of the game
  • languages: to be announced

That's weird. While I don't have SAO Fatal Bullet, I have other games with EAC, and the steam overlay isn't blocked in them.

You might have seen that Furi has been updated today across all platforms outside of Steam. As a clarification all the content in the update is already present in the Steam version. Actually some of the content had been developed following feedback from this community here on Steam that has been very helpful. So thank you for helping us fine tune it!
Dat dastardly Steam community, the bane of game devs everywhere!

Then I guess it's something specific to how it's implemented in Fatal Bullet. Wouldn't surprise me either. Or something specific to my system.

I'm starting to feel this way about video game protagonists lately. At least going forward, games should have or allow for MCs who aren't generic white dudes or a white guy the player automatically feels comfortable around.

In case you were wondering 'How can vikings be associated with stealth', give Vinland Saga a read or watch.
Of course it still won't stop you from thinking this when it comes to vikings


Or even this

I think I've decided to say screw it, stop waiting and just get a new graphics card.
Now, I'm not too familiar what the best value middle/high-end graphics cards are right now.
I have an AMD R9 290 at the moment.
My budget is technically open ended, but I'm probably looking at something in the 300-500€ range, unless someone can convinve me otherwise.
Any suggestions?

RTX 2060, RTX 2070, Vega 56, Vega 64 are all fine options for that price range, but, do note that the Vega cards have considerably higher power consumption than the RTX cards (especially Vega 64).

Processor: i5-4670k
That CPU will be a limiting factor in a few games though (especially Ubisoft games).

But yeah, I've noticed it with MHW as well. I'm probably going to replace that one soonish too, maybe in a year or so, or earlier if it really starts to annoy me.

Seems someone at Epic read lashman Twitter and decided to run counterPR:
Why Valve actually gets less than 30 percent of Steam game sales
None of this necessarily means Steam's 30 percent cut of direct game sales is justified, or that Valve couldn't afford to lower its rates. But the next time you hear about Valve's 30 percent headline revenue cut, keep in mind that the functionalproportion of total sales the company receives is probably quite a bit lower.
Always with just Valve having 30% cut in the whole industry.
