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.

Going away from AWS ranges anywhere from trivial to literally impossible. If you for example only use S3 there are drop in replacements so you basically only have to change one config file once.

But they offer stuff that has no replacements that I just learned of recently. For example did you know IMDb has an API? Well it’s only usable via AWS. I mean yeah it makes sense from a business perspective and it’s a real niche edge case, but if you, like me, wanna access IMDb programmatically, welp…. time to parse HTML like a caveman.

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.

Started watching Ghosts because it’s now available on Netflix and I really enjoy it.

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.

The worst thing about BBT is that the prequel Young Sheldon is genuinely great, but if BBT leaves a poor taste in your mouth you’ll probably never watch it.

Also funnily enough the YS sequel Georgie and what’s her face goes back to the BBT laugh track formula again as if they learned nothing about what made YS stand out.

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.
