Careful VRAM monitoring raises my eyebrows just a little for a game like Hi-Fi Rush, but it makes perfect sense that Tango Dreamworks would have learned from their experience in Ghostwire: Tokyo, even if they don’t share much in structure or artstyle—it seems the streaming and asynchronous shader compilation tech wouldn’t have been a thing in HFR were it not for G:T. Very interesting! Can’t see why this post has a negative score.

Using this thread to start some discussion about the upcoming expansion: what are you looking forward to most? Will you be playing on release?

Personally, I’m anxious to see how the core game will change with the announced changes—I was largely happy with the plot of the original, but the game got too easy and the skill tree was uninspired. Still, I won’t care too much if it’s bad or good; once I have the time and money for a rig that crushes overdrive mode I don’t think I’ll care about game mechanics too much.

Found out about Oracle’s free VPS offering, which I’m so excited about! I’ve always wanted to learn more about system administration, and everything going on with lemmy + reddit has been kind of the perfect storm for me to experiment. I’m hoping this period of general optimism about this new platform stays for a good while longer.

Hilariously parental of them, but perfectly on-brand!

The fact that instagram users can migrate their accounts to Threads (presumably with very little configuration) is huge. I don’t feel like it would impact this side of the internet as much but twitter could look like a very different place a year from now. Doubt they’ll be trying to federate.
