I recently replayed Tom & Jerry for the PS1, a game that is clearly low budget but still is still fun to play, especially when playing against someone else.
This being the retrogaming community, I expect to hear about games up to the 360/PS3 era 😁
Just your typical internet guy with questionable humor

Just buy more RAM, bro!
RAM prices skyrocket 1000%
Just sell your house to buy more RAM, bro!

Anthropic is literally marketing this comic


They probably “anonymize” the stuff they send back to microslop, since they use the bing engine

I don’t think obscure would fit better. Another poster mentioned some Cartoon Network PS2 titles, which I doubt would count as obscure, same for most other tie-ins.

According to wikipedia, it was D3, a subsidiary of Bandai/Namco that began the series, just to have some budget titles, really.
Is there any that you particularly enjoyed playing? :P

As a Konami game, I don’t think it could be considered low budget back then. Though I guess my question can be interpreted as “the game was cheap” :P

For older ones I think you’ll find more plentiful on pc since consoles were both more expensive for an indie to develop for and less likely to print physical media games from an unknown person or team.
PS1 and PS2 had plenty of low budget titles, the first thanks mainly to the Net Yaroze console. Sure, you still had to get the OK from Sony, but the market was also significantly larger than any PC.

Summoner on PS1? I can only find images of it for the PS2

That’s a game I’ve only ever played somewhat recently, the unity remaster. Never expected such a banger intro, or a gameplay that’s essentially dung beetle being so damn fun!

Wrong place to post this, bud

Isn’t most of the people there just typical corporate shills? Like a company-approved xitter space

Funny, you’d expect this kind of thing to only be considered “a hit” if interest lasts more than a month, but gotta keep that bubble rolling, eh?
He expects more people to gravitate to AI shopping agents like Muse as they look to hand off cumbersome tasks, such as comparing deals across sites and tracking down products.
Because that was clearly impossible without AI. /s
In another sign of Muse’s growing relevance, Amazon confirmed to CBS News that it has blocked the AI app from shopping on its e-commerce platform, citing security and user experience concerns.
Less “relevance” and more “fucking bots eating our bandwidth”
When it comes to shopping, the benefit for customers isn’t just saving time; it’s also about helping them find deals, Mercer said.
THANK GOD SUCKBERG WOULD NEVER USE A BLACK BOX LIKE THAT TO PUSH BULLSHIT “BEST OFFERS” FOR THE HIGHEST BIDDER, RIGHT? RIGHT???
“People are still a little bit nervous about allowing AI agents to do the purchasing on their behalf,”
Noooooooo, you should totally trust AI with your credit card and bank info! Trust big brother!
AI does everything 20000 times better than I ever will
I find it hard to believe that AI throwing pointers and references at random counts as “20000 times better” than anything.
Besides, saying that means that you fell for the worst trap, of believing that everything it does is flawless. It’s not. You’re in uni, so you don’t really have experience in ordering people around, which is what fucking around with AI is - you give an order and wait for a result. If you trust 100% of the end result, the problem is you.
AI is great at stuff you don’t know about, because when you do know about it, you’ll notice errors and mistakes, making you realize you cannot trust it.

The reading experience of this article on a PC is mildly infuriating. The font is fixed size, zooming out does nothing, arrow keys don’t scroll up or down. Everything is javascript, so Firefox’ reading mode shows zero actual text

Gonna watch that later, Threat sounds arrogant often and goes out of his way to insult others so I wouldn’t be surprised if he was wrong or acting in bad faith. I incidentally watched his “reply” to that GN video earlier today, which could be boiled down to “I was right and they were wrong”, without picking any specific parts and explaining, which raised some red flags for me.

I don’t know how the newest Doom does raytracing, but if it’s one case where it only “works” with an Nvidia card, I suppose Threat dude is right in that the company is being the biggest wall against vendor agnostic - and possibly more performant - raytracing
Found this channel, Threat Interactive, some time ago and have been watching the videos. He uses debugging tools to go step by step on how each frame is generated, explaining bottlenecks, things that reduce performance (like computing some stuff more than once, out of order, etc) and things that make the final frame look bad (usually bad anti aliasing)
The dude gets very mad about the state of current games’ pipelines, mainly due to how Unreal and Nvidia have fucked things over for their profit - and really, when we take graphics from today and compare with games from 2016, it’s easy to see downgrades in quality AND performance.
See where/if you can find any open wifi networks and use them, at least for the downloading of pirate stuff
