Elmo: How about 0 tariffs? Habeck:

The Dacia Sandero was my first new car (previous cars were all used but all in all I had a lot of misfortune with them).

It’s a fantastic car, spacious on the inside without being unnecessarily big on the outside. Suspension is a little stiff for my liking but overall it absolutely deserves all the praise.

Riders Republic is so much fun. It has a relatively low skill floor but also a really high skill ceiling. Go watch some stunt clips to see just what you can pull off.

The different sports are a lot of fun and honestly what other game lets you transition from Skateboard to BMX to Jetpack in a span of a few seconds.

Only downside is that the more fun sports are locked behind a DLC purchase but it goes on sale quite frequently.

I liked the next fest demo and I’m glad the game seems to be doing well for the devs.

Yes and I just wanted to point out that this isn’t a choice of the devs (most of the time) but rather consoles being a walled garden.

Because I think it’s unfair to say that you shouldn’t have empathy for PC gamers just because they have so many games already. Do the 100 indie games I can buy for <5€ really make up for the inability to play GTA6 or Death Stranding 2 (early)?

Console exclusivity always hurts the consumer and is, in my opinion, a legacy practice.

You always develop games on PC. From there you create builds for PC and Consoles, but the console build step is not easily achievable. You need to go through a lot of hoops to get a game on console. Oh and you’ll spend a lot of money to get there.

And does it really make sense as a solo indie dev to release your game exclusively on one console?

Bottom line consoles intentionally don’t make it easy to publish to. PC is as easy as making an itchio account and uploading your games there.

This is the core issue of console gaming tho. You can’t actually upgrade. You just straight up buy a new console. This wasn’t that big of a deal during the PS4 gen because the PS4 pro wasn’t that expensive. But at the current price points a different strategy is needed.

Honestly I think if Sony made a program like “mail us your old PS5 and like $200 to get a PS5 Pro” the console would’ve done better. It wouldn’t address the “why do we need this?” part (especially considering we’re hearing reports of GTA6 running at 30 FPS on the Pro) but it would’ve done some good for customer goodwill.

Gerade im WDR gehört: Nimm einfach n anderes Handy mit nem anderen Anbieter, wenn du 110 anrufen willst.

Ja genau ey sorry Mr. Einbrecher brauch timeout muss eben Anbieter wechseln.

Also unterstützt er Spracheingabe, hat aber kein Mikrofon?

The port is a mess but I’m lucky I only get the crashes and none of the other bugs (except one occurrence of audio being fucked). Turning off ray tracing completely eliminated crashes for a while but now it’s back to crash city regardless of graphics settings.

It really is, paying for ads feels so wrong I can’t fathom doing it.

I own all of these games already so I can tell you this is a good bundle. Any single one of these games is worth the full price of the bundle alone.

The 3 Zachtronics games included are a great sampler of of the studio and I like that this isn’t just a “All Zachtronics games bundle”.

There are better programming games out there but I think this bundle strikes a good balance between fun games that require light programming knowledge and wow this is just programming lightly disguised as a game.

It can definitely work. Some of my fondest memories in multiplayer are me playing Arma 3 on a hardcore milsim server. The immersion was unmatched for me but it’s hard to replicate. It requires everyone to play along and that just doesn’t always happen.

So I’m not inherently super skeptical about the multiplayer aspect.

Wait. That was the season finale? Didn’t even realize that the way it just ends midway thru the action.

You can do anything if you complain loud and long enough

The rare slime thing already happened tho. It’s called “That one time I got reincarnated as a slime”

It’s so funny to me that you get this for a limited time only as a PS5 owner but as a Steam Deck owner I get it forever.

I have, possibly a bit too much. Love it. But in my mind it doesn’t really deserve GOTY. For me that award represent more than just “how many hours of fun did I get out of this”.

I really struggled to find a GOTY nominee, and I even ended up going thru the SteamDB release calendar. While there have been quite a lot of good games released this year, there wasn’t really any one game that stood out above the rest. And weirdly I think that’s a good thing this year. I would much rather have 10 games that are so good that I can’t say any any one of them deserves GOTY over the other, than to have one clear winner and nine meh games. (I ended up nominating Selaco btw)

I think the biggest issue this engine has is just how many features there are. There are probably at least four ways to get any given job done, and sometimes there isn’t even a clear best option. I have lots of gripes with the engine but they can be summarized as “it’s just too big” No wonder games aren’t properly optimized when UE tries to replace a dozen established tools.
