I keep hearing about layoffs, studios being closed and how the industry is troubled. Are companies losing money and sales are poor, or is it the same as Google and other companies laying off people just to pump their stock price and make money despite profitability?
When I hear about a new game, I usually read the first sentence or two on Wikipedia. I rule out games described as certain genres or types, like soulslike or online-only multiplayer games. Then, I check reviews on a site like Metacritic. If the critic or user reviews (doesn’t need to be both) are good enough, I add it to a...
I saw a meme on R*ddit and it was a screenshot of Life is Strange showing a choice between bacon and eggs or pancakes (it’s been a while idk) and I thought that it would be funny to make those random choices. I bought know just that choice. I played the game and cried multiple times during play, it was such a good story. Ever since then I play most games without seeing any gameplay hoping to recapture that feeling of discovery.
Don’t know how much you want me to say about the choices so I’ll spoiler it out. It’s about how the choices are presented I won’t say anything of what the choices are.
Tap for spoilerIf there are BIG choices you will know, the screen gets blurry and shakes a little bit. Some other choices just say “This action will have consequences” which will make a pretty badass tattoo.
The next section will say the core game mechanic I did not know of going into the game
Tap for spoilerI did not know the game had a time travel mechanic. It blew my mind that you could change some choices
It is a very good game. And I highly recommend it to anyone who plays games for the story. Also the prequel “Before the Storm” is also really good and I cried more playing that game knowing what happens in the first game.
Our building had bay doors lined up on one side of the building, it was the off season so we would only use the first quarter of bay doors. At the end of line of garage doors we would use the last 1-3 bays as a sort of “overflow” (I was only there for a few months so I didn’t fully know what they were for.)
We would call it the “abyss” because no one went back there, and there were a few lights out so it was kinda dark. I mostly worked there, when it was a heavy day and the belts were pretty full they would send all packages to the abyss and we would get so back up with packages it worked jam halfway up the shoot to the trailer. So we would have to get a ladder and a stick to fix the jam.
We would sometimes solve the jamming issue by spraying lube on the shoots to help them slide better. It would make the shoots very slick if you tried to walk on them. Also we had fans blowing air into the trailer and if it was a very hot day they would just blew already hot air into a hotter trailer.

I found this its the cheapest 10TB Exos drive on Newegg and looking to buy 4 of them. I will be putting them in my NAS that I use for my media library and pc backups. The price I’m posting this is $130, I’m also looking similar Exos drives that are $250 is there a difference? Should I shell up for the more expensive drives?
After 16 years of living in my city, they will finally have city-wide fiber internet. I’m pretty stoked because the fastest internet I could possibly have is a WISP at 50gbps down and 10gbps up. Now I will finally have gigabit but it’s through the city, and I’m wondering if they will be more strict on illegal content...
Hello, I’ve been using manjaro xfce for a few months now and I’m starting to wonder if I would enjoy any other distros more, I’m not really a technical person but I really do enjoy linux so i’m willing to learn new things....
Nobara Linux (also aimed for gamers) has similar btrfs snapshots though not as intuitive and it’s not enabled by default also it’s based on Fedora. I have the KDE flavor as my main OS but I’ve never used the snapshot feature yet.
I was going through a really rough time when I played both of those games. There was something in Before the Storm that I know was coming but I cried anyways, multiple times. I’ve never been that invested in a game before and I don’t know if I’ll ever be again.
Yes I went into that game knowing only that choices matter and nothing else. It was a huge eye opener to mental health. I’m very tempted to get a tattoo of the spiral because I want to make it resemble when I made a choice to stay alive. I am in a much better place now and that game has really helped me.

Just got my Usenet setup with Radarr and Sonar and I am LOVING it. It’s fast and so easy to use. Hardest part was getting all of the folders situated with my existing library. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
Why is the video game industry in crisis?
