This game is one of the games that I always bring up when people ask the question “what game did you bounce off at first, but you’re glad you stuck with it”.

It took me a few goes to get into it, but after abandoning trying to perfect the stealth run and just enjoying it for what it is I started to love it

Check it out and see what you think, I’m having no problems running through and I just defeated Vicar Amelia. There is a bit of slowdown sometimes but it’s not ruining the game for me.

Have you seen what you can do with ShadPS4 on the PC? Upscaled resolution, Ultrawide dimensions, 60FPS and other tweaks, the textures are good enough it feels like playing Elden Ring, it’s a fantastic experience.

What’s wrong with Steam or Mumble?

Good luck hiring developers that won’t code with AI.

GoG does have DRM games now, check out Hitman.

Also Steam has plenty of non DRM games, like Witcher 3 for example

I never liked Steam when it was first released, it was problematic, slowed down my machine and caused me frustration.

Now it’s different. I agree with Gene Newell that piracy is a service issue, I haven’t pirated any games since steam started to fill its library with other non Valve games that I wanted.

I also appreciate the additional features that it brings like the community features and guides and managing updates for me.

It’s not perfect, nothing is, buy I prefer it to managing my own files and updates.

Thanks that works

RetroDeck doesn’t leave crap all over your system and cleans up after itself.

Using AI for code requires a high level of specificity, software houses that are getting the most out of it are not using it so much inline or vibe coding because as you say that leads to hallucinations or having to repeat yourself.

The common approach now is to use multiple agents with different responsibilities, the human effectively becomes a team leader and uses one chatbot to orchestrate a plan being very specific about the outcomes and the requirements and breaking the plan down into phases,

Another agent will be used to write the code, they will have set rules files to keep them on guard rails, they will check their work as they go and deliver a pull request at the end of it for the human to check and approve

The next agent will be there to write tests and check the work of the second agent.

It’s a lot more work than writing a single prompt and expecting a good outcome or close approximation, but it is getting better results now.

The reality is software engineers will use AI or will find themselves out of work as they won’t have the skills to get hired.

Customers may never know if AI is used as a tool in game creation but it will always be part of any software and development studio.

Using AI for music or design assets is totally different from using it for the code base and blanket statements don’t improve the situation

It’s one of my current favourite devices.

Although funnily enough I now mostly play Monster Hunter Freedom Unite instead of any emulation.

Its been a long time since I played this, but I remember that you will have to play it through at least 3 time for each story arc, so pick a faction and loyalty and Stick with it, don’t play both sides.

Also in terms of character class I would suggest some kind of magic user, Tyranny had a cool, quite unique magic system where you can craft your own spells.

There’s a good amount of NPC party members you can find so you’ll be able to fill in any gaps in your party eventually.

It’s a great game, a shame they didn’t develop a sequel, I prefered it to Pillars of Eternity, have fun!

US companies by foreign companies all the time, look at the food and drink corporations.

This is not a new or strange thing

That’s great to hear because, well… I’ve just bought one.

Really interesting review, thank you.

When you say this isn’t ready for most people, is that because the software needs more time, or the hardware isn’t there yet?

If I bought one of these today, could I expect to see better compatibility over the next 6 months to year with Steam games, or will it still be mostly for Android games and old system emulators?

Yeah the subtext of the article is the more interesting point, that good quality indy games are perhaps a bit more expensive.

Yeah I think it’s cool too, used to love Confrontation and Necromunda, had no interest in Scitari.

From the sounds of the Dev blog the character build options are really interesting, so I’m optimistically looking forward to it.

Rings of Saturn is a brilliant game too, everyone should check it out, it’s super atmospheric.

No, you can do it with software now, even on a mobile phone, it’s just a small low powered machine that does Streaming

It worked for me, I didn’t buy a Steam Machine, but I bought a few Steam Controllers and have been gaming on Linux ever since.

With all the inputs on the front of the controller and 4 on the back you have plenty of options.

Did you pick up any of the DLC? I think there are different versions or additional DLC right?

I’m thinking of picking it up too, but not sure if just the vanilla version will be ‘complete’ enough.

Is that why the third one never concluded the series as it was originally intended?

Yes that’s the bit! Thank you, I will look into using that, I’ve 2 controllers that have gone that way now.

Same for me, Sekiro killed my left bumper and I tried to replace it using aluminium from a soda cab, but it hasn’t worked well 🙁

I have exactly the same one! It does the job nicely

I played all those games at launch on Linux

I also like Zed, to me it sits in that sweet spot between (n)vim and vscode, it’s super snappy, has a good ecosystem of extensions/plugins and as a bonus it’s not a trojan horse for Microsoft

I really loves this game, Arkane studios are one of the best

The game looks great, but the performance is poor and unoptimised.

Apparently there isn’t much of an end-game, but from what I understand this is typical of MH games until a DLC comes out

Agreed, I thought the features of the stream looked quite interesting, love how you can pull downed squad mates out of danger, buy my overwhelming thought was, damn this would be better if it was slower.

Credit where credit’s due

That’s not my point though, they’re much better at holding discussion and keeping people updated than the Nexus mods site was

I mean things like Discord and Revolt, even Reddit is better for communities to discuss things about mods than the Nexus site

It should all be open source.

First thing is mods should just exist on free hosting providers for source code like GitHub/Lab etc.

Then an optional mod manager software that can import mods from these sources.

Non of this really needs a centralised community, these places already exist thanks to other better suited services like social media

Awesome thanks

Nope, you can use the Heroic Launcher
