Gotta remind people it exists since every fan of the franchise was Thanos snapped off the face of the planet the second the finale ended.

I watched the whole show because of my (now ex) wife and I have to admit that the meltdown caused by the last season made it worth watching. I kind of understand that the new seriesnis watched as if they announced Brink 2.

Honestly the fact that the Quake 3 engine was the number one engine for pretty much every FPS or FPS adjacent game for like over a decade held so much back tbh. It was weird starting a new game and just being able to tell what engine it was by the visible seams and knowing what bugs/glitches you could make use of immediately.

Well, the same could be said about the current situation with the Unreal engine, imo. The availability of the Quake 3 engine at least gave us a lot of good games, imo. It‘s sad that the following two engines from id turned out to be incredibly hard to work with. Doom 3 engine gave some cool games, especially the modified version for Quake 4., I don‘t even know if there were any Rage engine games outside of id‘s own making/Raven etc.

I find it interesting how they turned from trying to make the best looking engine to making one of the most efficient ones with 2016 and Eternal (Carmack beeing on the way out might be a reason for this). Seeing Eternal running on a Nintendo Switch is pretty nuts.

I hope more games would use the Decima engine. Even though HFW might be a bit too vibrant for me, the engine itself seems to be really good for great looking open world games. Death Stranding had so many breathtaking moments the art team could realize with it….

e: speaking of Carmack, what the gently caress does he do on a Joe Rogan show?

Police Story 1 and 2 are stone cold classics. His best stuff was not with the Hollywood system (though I am very fond of Rumble in the Bronx despite it having a few tonal whiplash moments) but his stuff from the 70s and 80s. Armour of God and Operation Condor, Project A parts 1 and 2, Legend of Drunken Master 1 and 2, Wheels on Meals...

I am a huge classic Jackie Chan fan. Watched almost all of his stuff up to Rush Hour. :3:

My very first Jackie Chan film was Police Story 2. What an introduction. When Eureka released the special limited edition Blu-Ray of 1&2 together I had to get them. Coincidentally Police Story 3 super cop was my introduction to Michelle Yeoh :)

Do you know what's a good film? Love Exposure. A four hour Japanese epic about cults, Catholic guilt and upskirt photography.

Stroggification is 4, but i fully agree on the railgun. Such an awesome weapon. Q2dm1 might be my favourite dm map. Diving for the railgun owned.

Yeah that clip is taken from a larger HBO promo montage. I guess someone wanted both the TLOU stuff and the final logo and when they saw there was one shot of a dragon in between they just said "ehhh gently caress it the music would sound weird if I tried to fix this"

So I got a PS5 last week and it's pretty cool, but is it normal for the download times to be waaaay slower than a PS4? Also, is there no way to have more than one download running at a time?

I can have at least a couple of games pulled down simultaneously on my PS4 Pro and a large 30-40GB title generally takes about 30 minutes, but no matter what I do the PS5 will only run one download at a time at it takes nearly an hour just for the "playable" point of the download to finish, longer for the full game.

If you are using wifi go to your registered network and hit the options button. Set wifi frequency bands to 5ghz instead of automatic. That made everything download way faster for me.
