    15-minute warning: firing up Euro Truck Simulator 2 and rolling out of Tornio in the Nordic Horizons DLC.

    Expect chill road time, light chaos, and a lot of “wait, which lane am I supposed to be in?”

    🔴 Live on Twitch: twitch.tv/adventureadjacent

    A dark, stylized screenshot from Euro Truck Simulator 2 shows a black and orange Volvo FH16 780 cabover truck driving across a bridge at dusk, its headlights and roof marker lights glowing against a cloudy blue-gray sky. The trailer behind it is lit with a soft red glow. Overlaid text in warm gold letters reads: “LIVE: NORDIC HORIZONS 8:30AM EST MONDAY MORNING” and below that “TWITCH.TV/ADVENTUREADJACENT.”

      Well, Anbernic sent me their VERY DSi-ish handheld to review a little while back. After an interesting first week (they had a desync issue where the top screen ended up running at 40 Hz while the bottom stayed at 60 Hz), they fixed the issue with an update.

      I spent a LOT of time with this handheld, and honestly...I'm one of the vert few who loved it :)

          @ahrienby also sucks, because the price/value transactions feel like shit.

          Even A/A+/B/C-Titles feel way better and I'm not even looking at rare examples like that get continous post-launch updates & free content expansions for over 15 years now…

          • Like when was the last time anyone had bought a AAA Title and felt satisfied after playing through?

              Got it working! Turns out the controller D pad comes through on my system as left joystick. I was able to map it to keyboard arrows with antimicro and mapped the buttons to key presses, too. Not sure if there's another way, or why this wasn't necessary in Kodi, but at least it's working. Fun game, too! Although I couldn't find that damn door in level 1-3...

                Had some amazing duels with Graphite on today, was a ton of fun we started out with your own AC's then after a few duels i picked Steel Haze Ortus and to my absolute joy Graphite did the same

                We had some close matches eventually it was time for the final duel, Me in Headbringer vs Graphite in Mad Stomp(Melee orientated build)

                First round i was winning but decided to detach all my weapons and shoulder mounts going full melle(Only fists and kicks) mad stomp still has a heavy hitting chainsaw that can rip my AC apart.

                The duel continued, i won the first round, After that every consecutive round i drop weapons at the start to keep it fun.

                We had a 1 minute 30 second fight (2 minute time limit) in the very end Graphite manages to beat my AC.

                Its 1 | 1 now

                We exchange blows Graphite manages to hit me with the chainsaw once im low HP, I change my tactic become more aggressive Staggered graphite via ACS overload, this gave me an opportunity to get some good hits in after which Graphite became more aggressive, I managed to dodge the chainsaw once but after that the second got me

                One of the most fun duels i have had in a while, Thank you kind stranger ​:7438_peepohappy:

                          To reach max level in ARC Raiders, I played 268 rounds, spent 70.5 hours topside, destroyed 861 ARC, and knocked out 28 Raiders. Spaceport accounts for the largest share of rounds (38%), time (43%), and XP (49%). Additionally, solo rounds account for the largest share of rounds (63%) and XP (68%). I gained most XP from scavenging (42%), and the least from fighting other Raiders (2%). Pop and Rocketeer are dangerous.

                            I started playing today and while the game has been interesting and fun in the first few hours so far, the clear lack of sync between the audio and the lip movement is frustrating. It makes the game feel unpolished to me. I wondered if this was because the animations and lip movements were made for French speech. But that is not the case and the issue is present even with French audio, according to the reports on the internet.

                                                            Sometimes other animals are even reduced to the point of set dressing and killing them has no benefit or drawback whatsoever and their body disappears in a few seconds

                                                            In the pokemon series one of the games antagonists are a non human animal rights group, this was undoubtedly a response to critique of the game being pro exploitation and confinement but it comes accross as them doubling down

                                                            These things matter not because simulated animals matter but because normalisation of speciesist assumptions subconsciously affects us and it says something about the values game developers have. Thats not to say that fiction can't have elements of speciesism, fictional worlds can be morally imperfect without narratively framing carnism or speciesism as normal natural and necessary.

                                                                                                                                                А на просторах этого видео-хостинг монополиста встречаются много видео про игру, зачастую обозначенной как «Fatal Fury: CotW».

                                                                                                                                                Непрекращающийся инфоповод в том, что последний вариант Fatal Fury выходил аж в 1999 году.
                                                                                                                                                В классическом понимании это и не было играми для ПК или консолей, это из мира «аркадных машин» — весьма мощных игровых автоматов. Игра стала самым известным и узнаваемым файтингом в мире именно благодаря своей популярности на игровых автоматах платформы Neo Geo — выйдя как «Garou: Mark of the Wolves».

                                                                                                                                                С игровыми приставками не сложилось.
                                                                                                                                                В тот же 1999-й год, на рынке стала появляться инновационная приставка для видео-игр Sega Dreamcast и вот под неё единственную вышла эта игра, названная как «Fatal Fury: Mark of the Wolves». Особой популярности эта игровая приставка не снискала и мало кому известна вообще сама по себе, продавалась всего пару лет.
                                                                                                                                                А потом было и банкротство SNK и прекращение продаж Sega Dreamcast — всё так же, почти одномоментно, в районе 2001 года (тот самый Dot-com bubble, задевший очень много кого).

                                                                                                                                                Был и 3D-вариант игры «Fatal Fury: Wild Ambition», что последний раз так же вышел в 1999 году. Вот только для другой платформы игровых автоматов Hyper Neo Geo 64, а на приставки был портирован для Sony PlayStation с последующим переизданием для PS3 и PSP.

                                                                                                                                                Тот самый момент, когда шквал популярности некой серии по миру совершенно не затронул РФ, не было на пост-СССР пространстве сетей из салонов с игровыми автоматами. За исключением тех слот-машин, который «однорукие бандиты». А в том самом более зажиточном мировом сообществе много лет уже существовали огромные сети салонов. Куда дети шли табунами общаться между собой и социализироваться, туся и развлекаясь играми на аркадных машинах. Почти у всех были свои персональные карточки, на которые автоматы записывали «сохранения» разных игр.

                                                                                                                                                Не удивительно, что этом фоне релизных событий разномастные ИТ-скуфы оказались в радиусе поражения маркетинговой компании про другой файтинг — Street Fighter. Хотя и само по себе появлении таких игр на пустынном ландшафте 2-го Switch, вполне себе инфоповод и событие, из-за того насколько крайне неспешно Nintendo разгоняет новый Switch.

                                                                                                                                                                      I have been using TAA for years in NMS and am quite familiar with DLSS, having read about it over the years. But, today I discovered DLAA (Deep Learning Anti-Aliasing) and that NMS supports it.

                                                                                                                                                                      And it's just awesome!

Unlike DLSS, which uses AI to upscale a lower-resolution image for better performance, DLAA renders the game at full resolution and uses AI to create smoother, sharper, and more stable visuals with fewer jagged edges and artifacts, such as shimmering. It is ideal for players with a powerful GPU who have extra performance headroom and want the best possible image quality”

It is primarily a patch release to fix and improve some things after the initial release, about a week’s worth of changes collected up into an update.

A huge world for sneaking around in, with few players, considering the world size. Turn up all the video detail your machine can handle. It feels a bit like being in the movie 'Avatar'.
