I fell asleep whilst playing The Witness last night ?

This teaser makes me feel right about my theory

Are they gonna return the favour and make a reference to John Wick in this? ?

No I didn't buy an index but I'm of the current thinking that if I do buy a headset, it will be an index and if that ends up being the case, I will have spent $30 on Alyx for nothing. Not the end of the world.

How about buying together and sharing?

I remember HP(?) had released a basically rebranded Index but slightly cheaper… worth a look.

It doesn't really seem to factor in to his thought process how much valve prototype and drop ideas though. Also he's dramatic as fuck which helps no one.

Yeah all of that is true, just the average person doesn’t have the skills to do that, or can’t be arsed… so it’s somewhat of a service to his audience.

I don’t think he was as dramatic in the past, but I’ve noticed how this type of content creators leverage drama, to the point of becoming obnoxious, with dragged out videos that become also very self-referential often. The Valve drought really hit Tyler, you can see how white his knuckles are to cling to his youtuber career.

I don’t understand why Valve even acknowledged him in this instance (I went to check and the answer to the Valve statement is a logic for which he’s implying “HL3 confirmed” lol)… and I don’t understand why in some instances they seemed actually annoyed with him and his work. I dunno, I would just be happy to see there are individuals so passionate about my work and if anything I’d have some sort of banter to poke some fun if I had the spare time.

Valve directly called him out for knowing fuck all and people are still listening to him, it's wild.

Interesting, cheers for that nugget ? ~ Haven’t several of the rumours he reported on been then verified over time?

As for content goes, seems pretty harmless compared to other stuff you find online/on YT. And is not like he’s doing all this digging to ruin Valve but to hype it. Just like those that chase the latest iPhone rumour or whatever.

wait what? Did you buy an index without realising or you then realised you can’t play it?

There’s an arcade in my town that has VR sets, I wonder if one can log in their steam account and say play Alyx that way. I would have inquired but with pandemic always been shut poor bastards.

Never heard this expression before, is it like take a walk or meaning to drown lol

Wow Lucky & Astralis taking lot of the screen time here

Ubi has released a making of documentary

The Dune hangover reminded me I listened to one of the most interesting developer interviews like two months ago, with Louis Castle, co-founder of Westood

Ahahah fuck you Zuck

Very nice short created with film maker and Alyx assets

Right lots of people have complained for the scalpers and miners stealing our cardddds.

Thanks to Linus I discovered there are now professional mining cards. Will these assholes shell out 5k and let us play in peace?

Have they goddamn moved the release date? Ok should be happy it’s actually coming earlier(?) but thought was coming out by holiday time.

First game in a while I feel like getting at day 1.

I wish animation was just a tad smoother, but I get what kind of game they are doing.

Everybody is dissecting this film right now

where do they get the scenes they show, and how are they not getting strikes.

I don’t think all this material is always from trailers (I watched one about Tenet by Thomas Flight last night).

Nothing to do with FC6 (I believe) but a cool DLC it seems. Playing with the meaning of the title/premise, finding an excuse to make you replay many times to actually get to the ending.

I kinda wish it was stand alone.

So I finally been able to go and see this.

Another visual orgasm by Villeneuve. Bummer missing the IMAX projection!

I’m really happy, my complaints are the music getting too loud (dunno if is the film mix the problem, or if cinemas are supposed to setup accordingly to the size of their theatres and they skimp on that job), and a general “dissatisfaction” because the mega cast feels under used. This feeling is normally a good sign the film is good for me, and makes me feel like seeing it again

Now I feel like reading the books ?

Ye but you put a “chapter one” in the titles if you don’t intend to do sequels?

(Hopefully I’ll forget that bit about turning into a sand worm by the time those come out)

I only recently heard about this

I’ll look at it later, but from the screenshot above I would say to change the italic to bold to reduce visual noise. Rather have an underline if you feel really strong about it ?

Bless YT, the more you watch the more you find
