There’s one objective metric: money.

PC games can be had for cheaper.

And likely removing functionality

Thank Gabe for the Deck’s suspend functionality. It’s not the same as saving, but it means that I can play pretty much any game for a few minutes at a time if I want, as long as I only play that.

Arcane Machine

Set in 1997 in the wake of World War 3, the world has become afflicted by a strange new growth called Tempest, a russet, flowery structure that looks like a plant but isn’t. Tempest is hazardous to human health and spreads rapaciously, but it’s also an abundant energy resource. This makes it the primary catalyst of a war between Earth’s two dominant factions, the Global Defence Force (GDF) and the Tempest Dynasty.

You weren’t kidding, lol.
Good anyway, someone has to make good C&C games, and sure as hell it ain’t gonna be EA.

I believe x3 is a smiley

Eh Arch can be quite stable if you’re careful, but it could also be a frustrating experience, there’s lots of manual configuration

What’s the status of VR games on Linux? With headsets that don’t require weird accounts (Meta)

70% good, 30% hype

It’s so sad how they ended up, we need more European companies in this field

Also even if you use a mechanical drive or anything, once it’s working it’s super easy to migrate your installation to another drive with dd

Just a suggestion: try installing on a spare drive first, and disconnect the original ones

Well of course I’m not paying several thosand euros just to design doodads for personal use.
Yes it’s easier. WAY easier. You can learn a lot with the traditional ones just experimenting, and newer stuff like Fusion 360 is even easier. With FreeCAD, you need to watch a tutorial for the simplest things.

I’m persevering because I want to use free software to design my 3d prints, but… it’s difficult, very difficult… I’m about to give up and go back to commercial CAD.

Yeah, seems like that doesn’t happen anymore

I remember Clinton

Who cares, it was great

Control? Horizon Zero Dawn and Horizon Forbidden West.

The first one was absolutely a game. Definitely need a discount to pick up the second one.

URL-specific and they go to the registrar? What can they do, they don’t manage the hosting

If you’re selfhosting stuff, you easily host Home Assistant, install the app on the phone, and use the battery sensor from the app to turn on and off a smart plug.

Gamers are used to fiddling, so that shouldn’t be a big deal for now

TYRANNY! It’s an RPG from Obsidian that shares the Pillars of Eternity engine, very cool premise and story, main campaign is short so it shouldn’t keep you occupied long, unless you decide to replay of course, the storyline changes A LOT depending on your actions (and even upon choices you make before even playing), so replayability is very high.

So you don’t actually explore map, but lore.

Yeah, got it for free on epic, assumed it was a game on dictatorship for reason… What a trip it turned out to be

Pshh, UE5 when the FreeDoom engine exists

Don’t underestimate the importance of playing snowballs

You could have spared yourself that tangent just by clicking the link.

The update does something that makes the games crash, the reason is not explained, but the “changes” mentioned in the sentence are the ones introduced by the update, not by the games.

“Dive dive dive, hit your burners pilot!!”

“Mean, green and unseen!”

“Ahhh, fresh meat”

Diablo 1

“You must gather your party before venturing forth!”

Well, they started out doing simple fixes and gradually went for deeper ones, I guess this is a signal that they’ve crossed a threshold and are putting special effort into modifying games for current and future machines

The Vatican is essentially Italy, except when it goes against their interests

Godspeed

On the back sucks, with your phone laying on a surface you can’t access the reader… Sony had it right, put it on the side, on the power button

It’s dead, Jim

And even if the game released and was great, what would you do if you already had everything in the game?

It’d be easier to list who Nvidia hasn’t pissed off

Rich asshole being rich asshole

Ok at first I thought the title was about a fake prop from a video game which somehow was worth 50m
