I am honestly not sure if you’re joking or not

I think bloodborne holds a lot of reverence because of the themes it portrays. Besides Sekiro, which also has a cult following, all the other Souls games are based in and around medieval fantasy of some sort.

Bloodborne starts in Victorian England with a Van Helsing story and the descends into Lovecraft really fast. For a lot of people, myself included, that’s inherently a more interesting setting than medieval fantasy. People who are into victorian England are really passionate about it, and people who are into Lovecraft are really into Lovecraft.

It’s an excellent game, was a lot of peoples first From Software game, and unlike the majority of big titles from that time period, hasn’t been ported, updated or remastered.

Additionally, out of all the “Souls” games, Bloodborne is still the only one that can’t be played at over 30fps.

The verticality is absolutely the best part. My biggest gripe with Elden Rings world is that it’s an “open world” game in kind of the same way Ubi games are. Traversal is largely trivial, so you stop paying attention to the map after you’ve reached major areas.

In my opinion, Dark Souls I is also an open world game, but instead of a 2D map all the zones are tangled up together in a confusing but interesting web.

Shadow of the Erdtree brought some of that back by having zones stacked on top of each other to a much heavier degree than the base game, while also segmenting off geographically close regions.

I wanted to be a level designer for a lot of years, so this is admittedly a bit of a soft spot for me, but I absolutely loved having the game world come at you as as a challenge, almost a character to be fought and bested, outside the legacy dungeons.

Arm is worth 5.3bn USD and employs just over 8000 people. Intel is worth just over 100bn USD and employs 124,000 people.

Nvidia is worth 42bn USD and employs 30,000 people.

That makes Intel over twice as valuable as Nvidia with over four times as many employees.

Erdogan is a whole new level of grifter.

Actually, I’d love to hear from anybody younger than 30. Does this article make sense to you at all?

No.

Asking the real question.

That’s brilliant.

You know how once in a blue moon you look at news story that’s sounds completely crazy and go “huh”? Like when buzzfeed suddenly started using all their clickbait money to fund good, legitimate journamism?

This would be that.

That’s the important bit that everybody is missing:

Apple has suspended work on the second-generation Vision Pro headset to singularly focus on a cheaper model

Clicking through to the paywalled article, the headlines reads as follows:

Apple Suspends Work on Next Vision Pro, Focused on Releasing Cheaper Model in Late 2025.

I am as unoptimistic on the future of VR as everybody else here, but can we please leave the nuance in? Apple are not turning the key on VR, at least not yet, they are simply doing the predicable thing that everybody said their would: Release a VR headset that isn’t targeted at developers only.

Guilty as charged

Congress is the opposite of Progress.

That’s why it starts with Con.

Sure, will you call the it admin where I work and tell him I’m switching?

I want to switch to Linux just as much as you, but at work I have literally zero influence over this. Private OS choice and enterprise / corporate are very different things, and businesses refusing to switch away from Windows is a very big reason why Microsoft’s behaviour lately is a big deal.

What’s left ain’t right.

I knew this!

On the off chance that one of you needs to model an Icosahedron / D20 in CAD, constructing three golden rectangles is often the easiest way to go, as it removes the need for calculating face angles.

Thanks for the reply.

Only makes it weirder really.
