Earlier this year Jak & Daxter was decompiled for PC which opened up the way for modding the game heavily, to the point of even making custom level content for it, and that scene has been seeing growth despite the game never having modding before and being from like, 2001.

I may have to forcefully learn about php though as our host plans to move us onto php8.4 in a week and I think most if not all of the plugins this board uses are still running on php7 and the creators haven't updated them yet. My choice is to either figure out how to fix any of the errors they will cause or disable them all until the creators update them, and I'm not really keen on doing the latter.

I think a recent animated movie did that by giving AI all of the tasks that were just animating things that were very basic and used widely throughout the film while the animators focused on doing the unique and more complex tasks, which allowed the movie to be produced at a more comfortable rate and didn't take away anyone's job since all it did was just automate a menial task the animators would have had to do alongside everything else they worked on. I just can't remember the movie. Also, I know it came up in the "When Was The Last Time You..." thread but since it fits better here, I uploaded the most notable screenshots I have saved from that Minecraft server we played on together: https://imgur.com/a/1Rudypy It was on a custom map but I don't recall what that map was, and I only remembered that fact from the final screenshot that is very clearly not standard Minecraft terrain generation. RE: Vintage Eric - Moonface - May 8th, 2024 What games have you been playing in the time you were wandering outside our airlocks before someone you found your way back in? RE: Vintage Eric - Eric - May 9th, 2024 I'm still meaning to respond to the post you replied to last year but university exams have been kicking my ass 😭 Starfield and Valheim are ones I got big into the last year. I had a honeymoon phase with Starfield and took about 60 hours before I was over it and noticed the blemishes, mostly because I was doing sidequests as you do in these games. Sadly all of the interesting events in the game lore took place before the beginning of the game so once I noticed that there just wasn't any point to doing anything and for the most part quests weren't solving a grander plot across the game, I stopped cold turkey. The dialogue in the game all feels so redundant too like, I reeeally don't care what you had for dinner or how long you've been working for this corporation. Just nothing felt...alive and connected to anything. Anyway, Valheim is fun as hell and is the first survival game that has brought back that feeling Minecraft gives you when you play for the first time. I have died loooots. Outside of those two, well League of Legends is my go-to competitive game, but I've so desperately been trying to wean off of it. Last week I started Hogwarts Legacy and almost done with it. Great game, but I'm sadly not the target audience for this game anymore. It's obviously made for kids so the story, what I really care about, is as deep as a puddle.

What were you studying again? x.x (May 9th, 2024, 09:12 AM)Eric Wrote:I'm not sure if it would fill some of the holes that Starfield didn't fill for you, but have you looked into No Man's Sky at all (mostly after it received a lot of its updates because otherwise what you saw may not be close to what the game is like now)? I don't know how it is with quests but I know the exploration element is a lot of what Starfield didn't manage to fully deliver on. I tried the game out at a point but it was a considerable number of years ago so whatever content it had when I played is probably only a small portion of the game nowadays.
