No Sims post this week, the latest update to the game corrupted my save. I’m going to troubleshoot, everyone cross your fingers and toes that the finale to the story here isn’t going to be ‘and then an earthquake hit the house and undid decades of work’. (:
I don’t know what I’ll actually do if it’s unsalvageable, but hopefully we won’t need to find out.
Fixing Match 3
For one of the most popular casual games in existence, Match 3 is actually really broken. Until one developer fixed it.
Dead or Alive 5 Last Round
I'm not surprised a fighting game has an absurd story. I just can't figure out why they bothered with the story at all.
The Disappointment Engine
No Man's Sky is a game seemingly engineered to create a cycle of anticipation and disappointment.
What is Vulkan?
What is this Vulkan stuff? A graphics engine? A game engine? A new flavor of breakfast cereal? And how is it supposed to make PC games better?
A Lack of Vision and Leadership
People fault EA for being greedy, but their real sin is just how terrible they are at it.
Even the Sims can end with “rocks fall, everyone dies”. :)
I feel your pain. I have a pending Skyrim update on Steam that is like a landmine waiting to explode my modded setup…
Oh man, don’t even get me started on Skyrim. When they updated the Special Edition to the Anniversary Edition, but with half the content of the actual Anniversary Edition, it ruined any mod that relied on the dll libraries. That killed my latest modded playthrough, and has made it nearly impossible to use some older mods. It’s not like the authors are ever going to come back and update five year old mods that used to work fine.
Oh dear. :( I’ll keep my fingers crossed that you do manage to salvage the savegame!
Yeaaaah, I’m slowly playing through Cyberpunk 2077, already had one update through the playthrough that thankfully didn’t break anything but it has forced me to redownload more than 150 gigs. By sheer luck I have seen that CDPR have announced another big patch for next week and since I have in the meantime modded the game for some quality of life fixes I have tried disabling the updates. Fingers crossed it sticks because I hear it’s not always the case.
Oh no. D:
GOOD LUCK! Rooting for you!
Wish you luck in your upcoming trips.
