Does anybody remember Wubi? It was Linux that was installed on Windows just like a regular program. Gave you an option to choose Linux on boot. It didn’t make any partitions, and if you didn’t want it anymore? Then you’d go to Windows and uninstall like any other program. It had a few limitations but was an interesting concept.


What game overlay doesn’t cause issues? The Discord overlay caused issues until I disabled it. I know the Nvidia overlay causes issues, I’ve seen it do that on other’s machines. Even the Steam overlay causes issues on a couple of my older titles.



This is wild! A completely different game, which I guess is normal for Wii games of the day. Way more story based which is interesting, and so would motion controls for spacecraft.


“PS2 has sold more than 160 million units since the Spanish Conquest of the Aztec Empire in 1521”


I love PC parts branded “sparkle”. I had a Sparkle power supply and I just hoped I would never see a magic blue sparkle.



Both is percentage of players that got the achievement I believe.



TF2 has official private server support, from day 1 I think.



Or they push a bug by accident that gets the machine into a bootloop? On the bright side hospital and airline computers don’t have GTA installed on them so the impact would be reduced to personal computers.


Among the other things, needing an internet connection to play offline games can prevent some people from playing. Not everybody has a stable internet connection. When I had crappy rural internet I’d download a bunch of games and play when the internet was down. I wouldn’t be able to play this game in that situation.


I mentioned this on a related article already but it’d be interesting to see an ARM Steamdeck after seeing the performance and battery life of the Apple desktop chips. I think gaming will eventually go the way of ARM.


It’s 16 canuck bucks for me here. You must get some good pricing in your region.


Dirt Rally 1 and 2 are both very fun.

Assetto Corsa is a fantastic simulator that me and my race team has used to learn a track before we take our race car there so we know all the turns. It really feels like you’re there and the game runs well and looks good low end hardware.


There’s no Microcenters in Canada. Newegg’s free shipping from their Canadian warehouse is next day for me so I’m happy using that.



The Stanley Parable doesn’t really have a genre, and I don’t think you make another entry into that genre without being derivative. There’s a couple games I can think of that have themes of player agency, Bioshock and to a lesser extent Spec Ops: The Line. Just some ramblings.


I didn’t play the original ones that much but I had no idea there was a reboot.



Very strange. I get a big notification and everything.


Lawnchair 2 isn’t available for my phone since the app is too old, and I’m only on Android 12.

Edit: this only applies to the Play Store version


I don’t watch very many movies and I’m by no means a movie critic; I think it looks terrible.


That’s a good way to explain it. “retrofuturism” but from 2008.


They certainly have some tricks and talent. GTA 5 ran on the launch 360 which had 512mb of RAM shared between CPU and GPU.


Glad to see the updates that came with the Half Life 25th anniversary being brought to other games.
