Right not to be that guy, but is Godot making a big deal about the Stencil Buffer? the thing I implemented in opengl coursework back in 2010?

I rememebr at Uni we were once given an assignment as a team to unpack the lecturers psuedo code and write the code in C#. Looking back on it, I think the pseudo code we were given was just crap

ALWAYS

Here is ff9 with the moguri mod, we aint getting an FF9 remake so play this :)

With FF9 remake nowhere to be seen, it's time for new developers to fill the gap. The golden age of Final Fantasy is over. The FF7 remake trilogy is bloated and crap, FF16 and FF15 were both missed opportunities.

It is pretty obvious we are not getting an FF9 remake today so I would jsut go grab the moguri mod and turn on toon outline, 60 fps and the AI backgrounds and grab the anniversary portraits mod

I will go one further and actually say it's easy to focus on that number for media outlets to drive people to their site for ad revenue. There is so much more to this and as Polygon has mentioned it's cyclical

Also again efficiencies does not equal staff in game scope, audience, etc rather than "I like this so I will build it"

And we can unpack how being publicly traded is bad and selling out to a big company is bad rather than looking at your own efficiencies. The CEOs who sold to Microsoft seem to be mentioned nowhere... Again layoffs are shit but the reactions have been surface level there is so much more to it

Oh 100%. When you are owned by a publicly traded tech company this is always going to be a risk. Games is a business much like film and books and this one in particular is publicly traded where they LEGALLY have to show growth. I'm not saying it's good at all but those are the facts

Stuff like Expedition 33 does well not because it is turn based, it is a well-scoped quality project set to a budget and it clearly has an audience

It sucks that people are being made redundant. But Perfect Dark came out in 2000. Zero came out in 2005.

That’s 20+ years ago.

With everything going on in the industry, something crossed my mind. Before a game gets greenlit, does anyone ask who is this for?
Kids are on Fortnite, Roblox, FIFA. The ones that grew up with games have jobs, families, and limited time. Why aren’t more games scoped for specific audiences?

The MMOs don't count

I missed out 13... Well I guess that says a lot

As someone who loves JRPGs and builds his own, this is the correct order of best to worst FF games

FF9
FF10
FF15
FF6
FF4
FF16
FF12
FF7
FF8
FF1
FF2
FF3
FF7 remakes

Im sure many will disagree but they forget the terrible elder scrolls balancing of 8

I wrote to my MP about this. The fact it can't operate within the law, means that by definition the industry has failed because it's not actually providing a meaningful product that can be utilised without outright stealing other people's stuff

Won me like £17

Anything via Xbox Game Pass cloud is your friend

To be clear, we see them in early demos of stuff

The Apprentice terrible metahumans and marketplace packs hits a tad close to home

If GTA hikes the prices of AAA games again, it will be another nail in the coffin for the rest of the AAA space. Who is the demographic for GTA (obviously a lot) but again it's not the kids on Roblox/Fortnite. Teens have less disposable income because adults do and adults have no free time

Think about it, they are not really a hardware manufacturer, the Xbox is doing pretty poorly and "anything" can be an Xbox

Plot twist, with Halo potentially on Switch 2, what if the Switch 2 IS the Microsoft handheld

I bloody fixed it. IPv6 pass through. FML

So it is seemingly random that Microsoft services through my network that has not changed on android have just stopped working

I have also managed to recreate it on my old phone as well

Yeah and weirdly it's only my WiFi which nothing has changed. Switch to data or other network, fine. I keep thinking it's me but actually it's so random it must be them. Weird that on the outlook app stuff just works

Oh and now randomly my own PERSONAL outlook email has just spontaneously combusted in the Gmail app and it's worked for years up to this point
