Was it worse than last year? I haven't played this year's edition but F1 Manager 2023 was a pretty fun game, albeit lacking the depth of something like Football Manager or Motorsport Manager.

Sorry, I thought you were blaming Remedy and not Epic.

This was awesome, the audio restoration was absolutely top notch and despite including both presentations and the audience reactions it all felt completely seamless.

It's also just incredible watching the footage and thinking about what an insane leap HL2 was in its day. Hell, many current games struggle to produce as expressive facial animations as it did 20 years ago! And that's not even getting into the interactivity of the engine and level design combining.

Don't expect internal consistency from the guy who says media can't be trusted and is fake news, but immigrants are eating people's dogs and cats because someone said it on TV.

(...) Foley was once worth $1.9 billion, according to Bloomberg, but left the company with a net worth of $225 million.

(...)

The ex-Peloton chief was forced to downsize twice—including selling a $55 million East Hampton waterfront home and uprooting his family.

Though Foley has lost much of his fortune, the ordeal has not extinguished his ambition. Within a year of resigning from the top job at Peloton, he had raised $25 million for his new venture, a direct-to-consumer rug company called Ernesta.

You know, my heart is not exactly bleeding for the guy. Nobody should even have a $55 million residence in the first place, fucking hell. Also, being left with only $225 million is hardly losing all your money, is it?

Until I see a picture of Trump behind bars I will continue to assume he will continue to get away with everything forever.

The dev has a storied past^[1] of sexism and misogyny, so this shouldn't come as a surprise. The COVID stuff is amusing but unsurprising considering it's a Chinese studio.

Doing a debate on Fox is a terrible idea, no matter how good a debater you are.

O’Donnell ripped cable news networks for carrying the event live and called it “2016 all over again,” adding that outlets are making the “same mistakes” with their reporting as they did while covering Trump that election cycle.

He also criticized reporters for not asking follow-up questions and knocked networks for fact-checking only after Trump finished speaking.

...

O’Donnell also knocked networks for not covering Vice President Kamala Harris’ Michigan speech live after the Trump presser, noting that his network was doing Olympics coverage before bringing viewers the last few minutes of her remarks.

Tim Walz barely has any assets to his name. No stocks, bonds, or even property to call his own. Together with his wife, Gwen, his net worth is $330,000

They need to fucking run with this in their programming. It's such a powerful contrast to billion dollar baby and Peter Thiel's plaything. He is demonstrably not in it for the money. He's just a guy, trying to improve people's lives and that's it.

In the end this won't matter because Fox viewers are not going to listen to anything that's being said beyond superficial positive/negative framing. So since the anchor said he is bad they'll think he's bad.

Objectively though yes, the video is funny and Walz does come out looking good and not bad despite it being a "hit piece".

Amazing. I respect Joe Biden and think he had a pretty good term overall, but stuff like this shows just what's been lacking.

On a related note, please let Trump be dumb enough to accept a debate with Kamala.

Let's see if this community still is active.

I'm not sure if it's officially agreed upon, but I would say the release of Doom in '93 properly marked the beginning of a golden age of PC gaming. Modern homogenisation and monetisation hadn't set in yet and over the next decade or so the PC gaming landscape would be full of innovation and passion, with a sea of classics being released in that time frame... but when did it end? Was there a specific watershed game that signalled a shift in the landscape?

This topic has been on my mind for a while, because I've pondered on whether there is an open niche for a community dedicated to games of this era. They're not quite at home in Retro Gaming subs, but still old enough now that they might warrant their own corner separate from main gaming spaces.

Can we not go after one of the few good guys in gaming? Please? If you want to hound someone Nintendo is right over there.

You would expect Saudi to go all out and not let themselves be outdone on spectacle by Miami and Vegas, but this is more than even I expected. That turn one is straight out of Mario Kart.

I will often have to spend an extra tap to show parent/context since I want to remind myself before replying. It would be a nice quality of life setting to be able to show them by default.
