@FalconryFinance A worthwhile tactic would be going to the gym to slim the hitbox

i guess you don't really learn worthwhile tactical skills at this sport anymore

@JosephFox_088 @JosephFox_088 is that a voice mod for the swat?

@maxdeploy @anishmoonka Dude it's not like they're at a prison or are refugees, they're working at one if not the most well regarded studio in the world, they're privileged and qualified to be there because they want to, they enjoy being there, they could easily work somewhere else if they wanted

@anishmoonka dan houser bragged about 100-hour weeks during development. left the company two years after it shipped gta 6 is being built by the people who survived that and nobody's asking how they're doing

You’re watching a game that took 2,000 people eight years to build. Some of them are still dealing with what it cost them. Red Dead Redemption 2 started production in 2010, right after the first game came out. Rockstar merged every studio it owned across five countries into one team. By the end, roughly 2,000 people had touched the project, and the budget landed somewhere between $370 million and $540 million, making it one of the most expensive entertainment products ever created. The numbers inside the game are hard to process. 300,000 individual animations (every hand movement, every horse gallop, every raindrop reaction). 500,000 lines of voiced dialogue spread across 1,200 actors. Recording those performances took 2,200 days in a motion capture studio, where actors wear sensor suits so their movements translate directly into the game. The main story script was about 2,000 pages. Dan Houser, Rockstar’s co-founder, said if you stacked every script in the game, including random people walking around town, the pile would be eight feet tall. Even background characters you’d never talk to had 80-page scripts each, about the length of a short film screenplay for a character with zero plot importance. The composer wrote 60 hours of original music. Most players hear about a third of it. The level of detail borders on insane. Horse testicles shrink when the weather gets cold. Your character gains weight if he eats too much, loses stamina if he doesn’t eat enough. Guns degrade without cleaning. Rockstar’s studio co-head Rob Nelson explained the logic: every tiny detail you don’t consciously notice makes you forget you’re inside a game. Stack enough of those moments and you get something no other studio has matched. That immersion had a price. In October 2018, Dan Houser told New York Magazine the team had been working “100-hour weeks” multiple times that year. He later clarified that was four senior writers over three weeks. But when Kotaku’s Jason Schreier interviewed 77 current and former Rockstar employees, the picture was wider. Nobody hit 100 hours, but many averaged 55 to 60 per week for months at a time. That’s six 10-hour days, often with weekend shifts too. Most were salaried with no overtime pay, their only extra compensation tied to year-end bonuses that depended on how well the game sold. Multiple developers described depression and anxiety during and after production. One told Kotaku they’d been “pushed further into depression and anxiety than I had ever been.” Others reported breakdowns and heavy drinking. Kotaku noted some of the worst stories couldn’t be published because the people involved would’ve been identifiable. The game made $725 million in three days, the second-biggest entertainment launch in history. It has now sold over 82 million copies, won more than 175 Game of the Year awards, and is the fourth best-selling video game ever made. Every frame of that clip was paid for, one way or another.

@JayDrunk_ @iuucil @p4ttiie Never had fps drops and I have the counter on at all times my guy, besides the PCs at tournaments have crazy specs

@Rethew_ @iuucil @p4ttiie steam built fps counter causes sudden fps drops in cs my guy

how can he play with big text nearly in middle of screen

@Autoexeccfg @iuucil @p4ttiie much like being good at anything, things are achieved with practice

@Autoexeccfg @iuucil @p4ttiie being good at a game doesn't make them intelligent bro

@iuucil @p4ttiie They're retarded and don't know or don't want to use steam's built in fps counter so they insist on having that shit across the whole screen

@p4ttiie what’s it even for

@SigaTbh @endiezyt Still insane that you have to buy a loot case and IN the event you get something rare you also have to buy it, defeats the purpose

@endiezyt "I'm not paying this" Set a limit, then, it's literally a feature Could've been the first registered FN Plum Quill in existence

yeah okay fuck the new terminals

I was fired from WhatsApp this morning. I was responsible for adding the 'Delete for me' button — so when you scramble to delete a picture you sent to the wrong group, you end up making sure everyone else gets to enjoy it forever

Hey @NintendoAmerica is this an official collaboration? This has ruined my perception of the Nintendo brand and will never be purchasing Nintendo products.

Hey White House, please remove the Tropic Thunder clip. We never gave you permission and have no interest in being a part of your propaganda machine. War is not a movie.

@fromsoftserve He isn't a "bro" like us here on X saying we liked a game, he's an important character in the gaming industry like it or not, he influences opinions and mistakenly used his influence in what he thought was beneficial to a game, he misjudged

Bro liked a game and wanted it to succeed. We don’t need to be weird about it.

This morning, the White House posted targeting footage with an explosion emoji and “No pause. No hesitation.” The gamification of war in real time. This afternoon, a SpongeBob meme celebrating bombing runs in Iran. Over 1,000 people are dead. Kill footage as content wasn’t enough. Now it’s kill footage as comedy. This is a shitpost about war. The official account of the United States government is using a children’s cartoon character to celebrate bombing runs. And it normalizes escalation. People are dying. Children are dying. And these people find it entertaining.

@Battlefield No one gonna say anything about the fact that this is new key cover art?

Sixteen years ago, snow fell on White Pass, explosions lit the sky, and a squad of misfits made their mark. Battlefield: Bad Company 2 became more than a game because of the stories you created in its chaos. Thank you for 16 unforgettable years 🔥

@thisguy467854 @euhdgp @DigestAndroid Reading sure is hard as fuck

@euhdgp @DigestAndroid Literally what’s the difference. And the fact that you said without having to pay a dollar more LMFAOOOO capitalism has you by the balls

*Tries to say how terrible the privacy display is* *Shows it working well*

@guntassingh @alexmaxham Yeah it just added some piping on top of the building nothing too crazy

@alexmaxham Google Gemini app gives way better results than this shit

It's foggy in San Francisco, but Galaxy AI can handle it! #GalaxyS26Ultra
