  • PC gaming on Arm chips didn't happen in 2025, but an epic battle with x86 CPUs is coming

    Jump

  • Many people want to stay on Windows though. The problem with ARM windows laptops was the garbage marketing, overpriced laptops, and bad compatibility layer. That's all been more or less fixed, so I think the next-gen ARM chips will be big.

  • Official Discussion - TRON: Ares [SPOILERS]

    Jump

  • Finally got around to watching the movie so I thought I'd necropost a bit.

    It was a 6/10 movie - not really shocked it did poorly. Everyone is rightfully hating on Jared Leto but he really wasn't the problem with the film. Almost every character sucked. I thought Greta Lee was terrible, either screaming and trying too hard to look scared or completely failing to deliver anything in what was supposed to be an emotional scene. The only one who put in the effort was the evil CEO, he was pretty fun.

    Visuals were great. Soundtrack was great. Whenever we got cool Tron vehicles and action sequences I was happy, whenever a character started talking I instantly lose interest. The script is ridiculously dumb. My favorite part was when Jared Leto infodumped her entire life story while driving and she responds with "Being a human is... Hard...", did a child write this?

    Anyway, decent movie if you can turn your brain off and try not to nitpick it.

  • Do you preorder games?

    Jump

  • I very very rarely pre-order but if reviews are out and you're already planning on buying it, it could be worth it. Some stores provide a discount for pre-ordering games, I got Elden Ring for 15% off before it even released which is nice.

  • Stranger Things

    Jump

  • I think it's less that they tried to improve upon season 1 and more like they tried to make it appeal to more people when it suddenly got popular. Season 1 felt very self-contained and genuinely tried to be a horror mystery show, the later seasons seem aimed at teenagers with lots of dumb teenage drama and quirky humor... I remember feeling some tonal whiplash going into season 2 but I guess not that many people noticed at the time.

  • [Discussion] Which glitches do you use in Soulslikes?

    Jump

  • More of an exploit than an outright glitch, but I loved how you can very easily kill Dragonrider in dark souls 2 by waiting for him to take a few steps, rolling next to him, and watching him nonchalantly fall to his death.

    I did it every single playthrough and it's never not funny. Bless you DS2.

  • [All] Happy Holidays c/soulslike!

    Jump

  • This is incredible haha, I love vicar amelia as a reindeer. I'd hang this on my wall!

  • Pluribus - 1x09 "La Chica o El Mundo" - Episode Discussion

    Jump

  • Like I get that she's a selfish person who immediately lost interest in saving the world now that she wasn't in danger but I agree with you, it's absolutely crazy that the show is trying to convince us she ate the blue pill so hard that she gets mad at the one person in the entire world that wants to save it. Why is she so dismissive and rude to him? Isn't this literally what she was preaching? All of this because she had sex? Lol.

    And why didn’t she forbid them from developing the personalized virus? Or take the eggs back?

    I guess it's implied that they can't honor requests to not turn her, but this indeed still a big plot hole. Why can't she just fly over to where they're doing the testing and steal the eggs back? They can't do anything to stop her. I don't understand how owning an atom bomb and saving the world is somehow easier than arguing with the hive to stop doing research.

    I'm probably not going to be back for season 2 whenever that releases. Happy for the people in the community that are having fun but this felt like a big waste of time.

  • Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night is free on Epic Game Store

    Jump

  • Great game if someone hasn't played it yet. It's basically just a modern Castlevania Aria of Sorrow by the same lead dev, and it is a bit janky, but there's a ton of content and a lot to love. I'm looking forward to the sequel.

  • The Odyssey | Official Trailer (Universal Pictures) - HD

    Jump

  • I watched it again and I really thought it was just me, that bitrate is abysmal. Even at 1080p there are many shots that look like 480p and artifacted as hell.

  • The Odyssey | Official Trailer (Universal Pictures) - HD

    Jump

  • More of a teaser trailer than anything, but it looks pretty sweet. Gives me "300" vibes.

  • Xbox games 60% off at Fred Meyer (Kroger):

    Jump

  • I guess you're just going to ignore that Xbox is flopping and selling consistently less than playstation/xbox even before the hardware crisis. And the undisputed fact that MS has been unsubtly pushing game pass as an alternative to buying and owning games.

    Bravo 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

  • For me, it was Microsoft Ants

    Jump

  • Worse when it's a flash game, as I understand they're all dead now.

    You can still play every flash game ever through the Flashpoint Archive

  • Pluribus - 1x08 "Charm Offensive" - Episode Discussion

    Jump

  • Genuinely feels like this ~9 hour season could've been a 2 hour movie. This episode had me hammering the skip 10 seconds button, I just don't care about anything happening on screen anymore...

  • New Poster for Christopher Nolan's "The Odyssey"

    Jump

  • Yeah... I don't know what I'm looking at. Is that a hair braid that looks like a spine?

  • Epic fails to compete with Steam because “EGS is a shop, Steam is a community”, says Witchfire lead, as Epic has “nothing to do but to buy”

    Jump

  • Alright I know people rag on Epic all the time... but it's truly incredible how hard they keep dropping the ball. It's been SEVEN YEARS since it was created and it still feels so basic and terrible to use.

    The store is drab and uses huge chunks of space just to advertise fortnite and f2p rewards. Discovery is terrible and the store is full of crypto scams and AI spam shovelware, which is ironic because Epic started off being very selective about what's allowed to be published there. The store also feels like adware because it keeps spamming random notifications and ads unless you turn it off.

    The best part is that Epic constantly blames users for not wanting to leave Steam instead of admitting their store sucks. They keep spending tens of millions buying exclusives and giving away games for free rather than spending any time improving the store. Seriously, what are they doing over there?

  • Do we have No Man's Sky fans here?

    Jump

  • There's !nomanssky@lemmy.world but it's not super active. You're bound to find some fans in the general gaming communities like this one though.

    I’m new to Lemmy BTW.

    Welcome!

  • Thank Goodness You're Here - most absurd & hilarious game what did I just play?

    Jump

  • Loved the game, but... we don't talk about that cow scene...

  • [News] Lords of the Fallen 2 Will Have 'Attractive Female Characters' in 'Revealing Outfits', CEO Says

    Jump

  • In a post on social media, CI Games’ CEO and the head of the studio, Marek Tyminski, reverted to his rhetoric about games needing to avoid political agendas. He stated in clear terms that Lords of the Fallen 2, slated for 2026, will feature ‘attractive female characters’ wearing ‘revealing outfits’.

    This is hilarious. "I don't want games to be political, therefore we will feature half-naked sexy women."

    The reboot lords of the fallen wasn't even any good. Stopped playing halfway through.
