My life is too busy to play games all that often, and I still have a backlog of games I could go through. Ignoring the ethical question of pirating, I'm not sure the risk of running unverified executables are worth the risk for most people.

The memes/absurdity is just about the only positive thing you can say about Trump

As interesting as the game looks, the 315$ price tag for all the DLC made me lose interest.

It's not that I have anything against that sort of games, Total War Warhammer sits at a similar price tag and I got all of the DLCs until CA dropped the ball with TWW3, but it's a real turn off as I'm not interested in doing the homework of finding out which DLCs are needed and which are not.

The hen can't be alone with the fox or the grain, so it's still the same.

Erlang/Elixir doesn't have muteable variables/types. Appending to a list would just create a "new" lists.

Maybe I'm blind, but I can't see it? The target audience is PC gamers, and even though I rarely browse gaming websites anymore, this type of snark seems to be fairly standard for the last 10+ years.

Minecraft is the best-selling game of all time, but it's looked pretty much the same for the entirety of its almost 14 year run. There's an argument to be made that it's showing its age in places, an argument I won't make because I don't think so myself, but all the same, as revealed during today's Minecraft Live, Mojang announced that the sandbox game is getting a pretty big visual overhaul update called Vibrant Visuals. Now, don't worry, it'll still be all blocks and squares 'n' that, but it will be changing up how lighting looks.

A blog post explains things in a bit more detail, with one of the big things being that there'll now be volumetric lighting. What that translates to is things like sunlight shining more naturally across different surfaces, even shining through windows, and every individual block will cast its own shadow. Mobs and items will glow a bit more too, so it's not just about the overworld lighting.

This update is coming to the Bedrock Edition of the game first, with the post noting that it hopes to bring this "graphics revamp (either fully or partially) to as many devices as possible", though there's not even a release window for it yet. There are plans to bring it to Java Edition too.

I might not have much of a horse in this race as someone that only really plays Minecraft once in a blue moon (and normally swiftly puts it down because I'm not that kind of creative and I get too stressed out from survival mode), but honestly, I'm not a fan. Minecraft is inherently not a natural looking game, and this lighting overhaul just adds a touch to much realism for my tastes. Besides, this kind of lighting already exists in countless mods, so for plenty of people it's not even really needed.

In any case, there were a few other announcements from Minecraft Live too, like the fact you'll soon be able to fly around on friendly versions of ghasts, which I do quite like the look of. There's a live event taking place from March 25 to April 7 too where you get to hang out with Jack Black's version of Steve to defend a village in some mini-games, which'll net you a cape if you're successful. Bit less exciting, but to each their own!

First line in their about us:

Rock Paper Shotgun is about PC gaming.

Tabs. F alignment for aesthetic purposes

You're technically already in the 40k universe, just really far back in the past

You would still be human, so you wouldn't be allowed there. Númenor before Sauron's shenanigans would be awesome though.

Frame gen introduce input lag due to interpolation, DLSS shouldn't produce any input lag as far as I'm aware.

The older generation in Norway also uses that format. I usually tell them that we aren't under German occupation anymore, so they should use the sensible format.

This sort of reminds me of the library where someone implemented classes in elixir. It sounds like a fun project to do, but is there any utility in this?

I like python, but I wouldn't want anywhere near my elixir code

If you haven't tried it yet, the HL1 fan remake/remaster Half Life Black Mesa is great, one of the best games out there in my opinion.

So you mean debugging then?

Main takeaway is the HL2 still looks pretty good

Skaven to finally make their 40k debut

They complied with my request without any fuss. I didn't even have access to my account due to losing my 2fa device.

I'm not anti bash or fish, I've written in both just this week, but if we're talking about readability/syntax as this post is about, and you want an alternative to bash, I'd say python is a more natural alternative. Fish syntax is still fairly ugly compared to most programming languages in my opinion.

Different strokes for different folks I suppose.
