  • I really struggled to find a GOTY nominee, and I even ended up going thru the SteamDB release calendar. While there have been quite a lot of good games released this year, there wasn’t really any one game that stood out above the rest. And weirdly I think that’s a good thing this year. I would much rather have 10 games that are so good that I can’t say any any one of them deserves GOTY over the other, than to have one clear winner and nine meh games. (I ended up nominating Selaco btw)




  • Yeah I’m a big fan of upscaling myself. I hear a lot of complaints on the internet that this means developers won’t optimize their games because upscaling exists, but I think it’s great because it gives older/weaker GPUs (like your 3060) some longevity.

    Heck, I use DLSS on my 4080 when I don’t want a game to suck so much power.







  • Ein großer Teil ist aber auch das extrem miserable Streamingangebot der einzelnen Anbieter. Netflix zb merkt „ah ja deutscher dem geben wir nur deutsche Serien“ und dann haste halt all den deutschen Müll in jeder Kategorie drin.

    Viele der besten Serien gibts einfach nicht zu streamen, oder kommen erst gaaanz langsam dazu, oder musste bei Prime für 25€ pro Staffel kaufen.

    Curb, Game of Thrones, 30 Rock musste pro Staffel kaufen zb. It’s always sunny ist erst relativ neu bei Prime kostenlos und auf deutsch. Portlandia gibt’s höchstens als DVD Import und kennt wahrscheinlich keiner in Deutschland etc etc…

    Ich weiß, dass da die Lizenzgeber hinter stecken, also die Anbieter eher wenig Einfluss drauf haben, aber es ist schon erschreckend wie kacke das Angebot hierzulande ist als in den USA



  • I have noticed this trend as well, but I think it’s actually pretty good. Your package bunch of features you have been working on under a common theme and that builds some excitement.

    Consider the alternative: “Get ready for build v1053” or “Prepare yourselves for update 1.2.24” that just doesn’t sound exciting and it’s probably not gonna draw in players who haven’t played the game in a while.

    And also keep the psychology in mind a little bit, It seems less impressive to release seven small updates where each update only adds one relatively minor feature rather than one big update with seven new, but still relatively minor features
