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.
Project Button Masher
I teach myself music composition by imitating the style of various videogame soundtracks. How did it turn out? Listen for yourself.
Raytracing
Raytracing is coming. Slowly. Eventually. What is it and what will it mean for game development?
Object-Oriented Debate
There are two major schools of thought about how you should write software. Here's what they are and why people argue about it.
This Scene Breaks a Character
Small changes to the animations can have a huge impact on how the audience interprets a scene.
Shamus Plays LOTRO
As someone who loves Tolkein lore and despises silly MMO quests, this game left me deeply conflicted.
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.
