No

Just because something is legally correct doesn’t mean it is ethical. Just because something is illegal doesn’t mean it is immoral.

Do you have evidence to support that the flash deal prices aren’t the prices that are there for the entire length of the sale now?

People got wise to it lol. People were posting flowcharts about not buying games until they were on flash deals if you want them. Also some years I think they did something that led people to believe only having specific games on your wishlist was advantageous which led to people removing everything from their wishlist except for stuff that was more expensive. That disproportionately hurt indie devs.

All in all I think I’m glad it’s gone. Plus the games (like that racing thing) never made sense to me.

They have bills to pay even if I’m not a customer.

If they make it $1 a month and it doesn’t charge you for .months you don’t download anything I’d be fine.

If I ever do a DK64 playthrough I’ll check this out.

I don’t really care if my current graphics are better or worse than the current console generation, it was just an illustration comparing PC gaming to console gaming.

I wonder if a fan mod of DK64 where the bananas aren’t colored would fix many of the problems. I feel like that one small change might fix a lot of complaints. I haven’t played it though.

Uhhh, I went from a Radeon 1090 (or whatever they’re called, it’s an older numbering scheme from ~2010) to a Nvidia 780 to an Nvidia 3070 TI. Skipping upgrades is normal. Console games effectively do that as well. It’s normal to not buy a GPU every year.

Refusing to acknowledge that queer people exist is “political” and queer people engaging in escapism deserve to feel seem and included.

You did not say might you said it would.

You’re saying if we didn’t have the Switch we would’ve had the Steam Deck earlier but you’re also saying the Steam Deck is something totally independent of the Switch. But if it was totally independent, why do you think it would’ve come earlier if the Switch didn’t exist? That’s why I’m saying you’re contradicting yourself.

You only think a game is fun if you’re willing to 100% it?

There’s not a reason to fight most enemies in most video games to be honest. TotK mostly fixed the weapon breaking mechanic in my eyes. They’re much more durable now and last longer when fused (there is generally no reason to not do fusion). The only thing that’s more fun in BotW than TotK is riding a horse through Hyrule field while dodging tons of guardian lasers.

TotK didn’t have real dungeons? Huh? I disagree with that criticism for BotW, but I can at least understand why people say it.

But I’m not gonna get into this. I like them. They’re very popular. A certain vocal subset of the Zelda fandom hate them. A certain vocal subset of the Zelda fandom has hated a lot of more opinionated Zelda games on release only to view them more favorably later. People loathed Wind Waker on release, but now tons of people love it. I think these games will be viewed more favorably by fans long term. Yes, they’re different from the others, but not all of them need to follow the same formula. Variety is the spice of life.

For example, I really enjoyed Link’s Awakening HD.

You’re contradicting yourself. If you believe the Steam Deck exists purely independently from the Switch and that we would’ve had the Steam Deck before the Switch if the Switch never existed, but we didn’t, it came after.

And no, I don’t think it invented some sort of magic technology, obviously I don’t think that. I’m saying the Steam Deck was good competition for the Switch in the portable/docked market (whatever we wanna call those).

Competition is good. If the Switch didn’t exist then I don’t think we would’ve gotten the Steam Deck.

BotW and TotK were both really good. Don’t mistake this as me saying “Nintendo is good actually”, more like a broken clock is right twice a day sort of statement.

You would’ve been 16 years old on launch if you’re 39 now though.

I did play Obra Dinn! I loved it.

Remind me and I’ll look into it. I have BL2 but never ever played it back in the day.

What are you arguing with? I don’t see your comment as contradictory to theirs at all.

BLUE PRINCE! IT IS SO GOOD!

It’s a puzzle game like Myst, and a puzzle game like a board game sort of. So it has short term and long term puzzles. It’s so good! I’m obsessed.

Feels odd to include Pyre over Hades.

This was what I understood stamets to mean as well. I thought it was pretty obvious. I had the same thought opening it. Still cool though.

There is currently a game! I hate when they drag this early release stuff.

Not to sound like a Steam simp, but they put a lot of faith in Steam Guard. Gabe Newell shared his password. This is old information and he may have changed it, also I don’t know if there were problems. https://www.escapistmagazine.com/gabe-newell-gives-away-personal-steam-password/

It’s not a good comparison, but it is funny to talk about. The founder of LifeLock trusted his product so much that he put his SSN on billboards and television ads. His identity was stolen 13 times. https://www.wired.com/2010/05/lifelock-identity-theft/

Geoguesser is way too proud of their product to be charging money for it.

Ah okay, thanks. I’m too scared to mess with most hardware so not always up to date on the terminology. My tinkering is exclusively desktop/laptop stuff.

How’d you mod it after you bricked it?

Look, if the problem is the similar designs then sue for that!

Steam is good, but competitors can only make it even better. Worst case it doesn’t change.

Their video content is pretty good.

How the fuck do you recommend DDLC when OP says non-violent?

OP, DDLC is a fun game, but there’s a reason it’s tagged psychological horror. It’s not just a meme. I won’t elaborate in case folks wanna try it out. I do suppose it is a “girly” horror though.

Clicking library takes me to downloads.

This mentality is why shitty devs don’t include save and quit because heaven forbid someone save scum their game so they can lie about their progress online.

I agree with you, but they said the game has “save and quit”.

Rogue likes without “save and quit” are utter bullshit. This will be useful.

It’s so crazy to me that ads pay less and subscriptions cost more.
