The cpu is below min specs but not by a crazy amount performance-wise, maybe “demo” it before you buy, not many people using that cpu these days.

I used to have one though too :) broke several pins on it and I decided to upgrade to Ryzen lol

My wife loves the Sims and Rimworld, but mostly the simulation and building aspects, you can tone the difficulty down, every run doesn’t have to be extreme randy lol

My wife played a little and one of the coolest features was the ability to “design” a pattern on clothes by just typing what you want in and having it generate it.

Its fun with friends, very silly and potentially infuriating at times but that’s part of the fun lol

I feel like having a toggle for overworld/underground similar to in the base game would have been very very nice.

Coromon seems pretty similar, I only played a small portion so far though

I’m not sure why you’re latching onto that part of the argument, the point he’s making is Larian is still relatively small and spends less on games then AAA studios.

You’re not wrong, it’s just nuts no one has specifically worked on a method of transferring digital licenses, which seems crazy considering how long steam and such have been around.

I know everyone hates Nfts but it’s literally made for exactly this kind of thing, verifying and transferable ownership

That’d be a funny mechanic for forgiving mistakes

The anticheat runs all the time unless you specifically exit it and requires a reboot of the computer for the exit to take, the reverse is true to turn it back on as well.

It’s so nice fr, it helps I had sorta “prepared” by learning Bazzite on my spare laptop prior, so got very familiar with the immutable aspects and flatpaks/appimages

This is why I bought a deck oled even with the other more powerful handhelds already out.

True, given past history it’s just a nice excuse

Wasn’t the activist group Australian?

Depends on which one, old bitcoin? Yeah. And don’t even talk about lightning network, I hate it so much lol.

Unironically crypto

It’s cool! No worries, just want to point out when an actually good use for Gen Ai is put in place :P

The Ai features in Inzoi are pretty nifty tho, generating any texture for clothing in-game with only a prompt is insanely cool.

Yeah they’d never shill for Nintendo and fail to disclose it was an ad https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=V10wHzV5zp0

I was really hoping they’d release a next generation with some of the issues I read online ironed out.

Not having to pay a subscription to access my games is the simple answer lol

Lol grew up reading a lot of books and such, so very similar and I am usually bad at assumed pronunciation, such as godot which I just learned thanks to this thread.

Again, if you know going in that is an absolute requirement, processes can be put in place to ensure things like that doesn’t happen. (at least not as often) vs what you’re thinking of trying to do it after the game is already shipped.

I don’t see how gamepass is particularly bad, I can still buy games without it (I don’t sub to gamepass) and as long as there’s no exclusivity crap where I literally can’t play the game otherwise…

It’s nice when I want to play a game with a friend and the game happens to be on gp, thus I don’t have to buy the game for them lol.

There are 2 sequels lol

Isnt catfishing misrepresenting yourself by using fake photos/descriptions not gold digging per-say.

Ah so because you’re familiar with it it’s easier? Interesting

This could be smart if the largest mobile OS, Android, didn’t have dozens of GUIs/Styles depending on the manufacturer’s whim

I obviously mean with software support, though also https://www.theverge.com/2023/11/15/23960345/microsoft-cpu-gpu-ai-chips-azure-maia-cobalt-specifications-cloud-infrastructure

Yeah, it’s just Apple actually pushing it forward and Microsoft sorta half assing it lol.

Funny with ARM finally starting to rise beyond just mobile devices, accurate but very early

Grounded is fun, and 2 is right around the corner, though they did (and plan similarly for 2) to release it in phases in early access and gather community feedback at every step

Abiotic Factor, Nightreign a little, Outlast Trials, Monster Train 2, Across the Obelisk

Idk, I like it more then StS personally, I’m at like 400 hours on AtO lol

It’s quite different from StS imo, and while I’m not a huge fan of the paradox model of dlcs (knew it was coming when they got bought by paradox tho) overall I think they’ve done a good job with keeping it updated and adding nifty new cards/locations/status effects etc

Whoa AtO catching strays? I enjoy it a lot, particularly great that it’s multiplayer

Prey was sooo good.

Sucks for the people who wanted a continuation of the original tho.

Ha yeah, that’s how I got the elites functional again, took it apart and did it directly at the button, so far so good after several months.

The Xbox one/core controllers though it was usually part of the thin plastic bit that connects the bumpers (it’s all one piece for some reason…)

I blame Skyrim/Fallout and Dark Souls/ER, so much bumper pressing in those games.

I also use them A LOT, even being a PC gamer lol if it supports controller, that’s how I’m playing it.

I do think where I comfortably press it probably has to do with it.

If you think I’m like throwing them around or doing crazy stuff like that, I don’t haha.

Edit: If you look online, it’s very common for the bumpers to fail

Wish I could agree, but the consistently broken bumpers really irritate me.

I have gone through probably 20ish Xbox controllers, the 360 controllers were the most durable (except the stick rubber bit) whereas the core and series controllers and even my elite 2 controllers have all had the bumpers break or otherwise stop functioning.

I replaces the bumpers several times manually, then with the elite 2 they changed the design but now it breaks at the actual button instead of the flimsy plastic piece like on the core/series controllers.

Luckily putting some ISO on the button and throughly cleaning it along with sticking a small piece of paper near the actuator seems to have fixed it for several months.

I would love a solid controller with Xbox style layout (particularly the thumbsticks) replaceable sticks and 4 back paddles. I think the Playstation TouchPad would also be a welcome addition for PC navigation or steam input mapping.
