Depends on what you consider good game. GTA 3 is more arcadey in a way. GTA 4 is more immersive. They’re very different.

That’s San Andreas

I just started with Deep Rock Galactic after sleeping on it for a while. I’m just a few hours in, but it’s safe to say that it’s probably going to be my new obsession.

GTA 3 has a silent protagonist and most of the dialogue takes place in mission cutscenes. It’s a very simplistic game in comparison to GTA 4.

If you’re after a grounded experience with characters that feel real, then yes it paid off.

Waka waka, eh eh

This video is pure programmer humor.

I don’t know how many times I have been waiting for the product manager to get out of their meeting so they can help me clarify what they really mean with their "high priority" ticket only consisting a vague title.

That’s the great part about the fediverse. We’re not bound to a specific app. I like Mbin myself.

In one the worst “poor planning” projects I’ve been in the product owner just kept sneaking in new “high priority” issues to the top of the backlog throughout the sprint. I don’t think we had a single sprint where we ended up with fewer open issues in the backlog than when we started.

Needless to say, he was the main reason why I quit.

A more proper title would be “study finds 268% higher failure rates for poorly planned software projects”.

“Agile” as a word is mostly an excuse of poor planners for their poor planning skills.

That is, while there is value in the items on the right, we value the items on the left more.

This is funnily the part of the manifesto most have trouble understanding.

It’s more about poor planning vs good planning. Of course a project with good planning is more likely to deliver in time.

It’s just to that poor planners tend to use “agile” as an excuse for their poor planning.

It’s not always that simple. If I write a song, then I don’t want my song to be used in a big budget Hollywood production without me getting a dime.

As a point of comparison, 360 has 512MB RAM. HL2 was targeting PCs comparable to PS3/360, but somehow they got it working on an Xbox.

It’s a bit hit and miss. Some parts are glorious. Other parts are just frustrating.

There’s too many parts that are “Oh you failed this jump? Now you need to start all over again”. I’m thinking especially on that Yoshi mission in Ricco Harbor.

Or that lilly pad bonus level on that island that you must bring Yoshi to, but Yoshi can’t swim so you need to ride those slow ass boats. Ensure you don’t miss any jump, because then you need to start all over again.

The visuals are incredible for its time. The water is one of the most beautiful on that generation.

It’s a game that could’ve benefited from being easier, or at least be more forgiving. I just want to soak in all the visuals.

And spending money only gives the illusion of making a difference, because now especially when you’ve proven you’re a money spending customer, they don’t want to lose you.

Closes Steam, sets latest survey date to 1 year ago, and then opens Steam again.

I guess it’s so you can fill in the survey again. Not sure if it actually works.

Not many are officially supported, but there are a few. Baldur’s Gate 3 is one surprising example. Many Paradox games are also supported, like Cities Skylines. Stardew Valley, Terraria and Hades as well.
