This, the aim assist didnt seem to exist on snipers, spent probably hundreds of hours with friends fucking around on MW2 doing quick scope shit, you could be looking right at them but just be sliiiightly off and you’ll absolutely miss.

Yeah, I mean that’s just how it goes with Windows/Mac(Ubuntu seems to be trying lol), they want you integrated into all their services.

For my part, I used aerotweaker on my win 11 machine to disable most of that junk.

I can absolutely see how that is annoying, but it’s not impossible to disable with a little tweaking.

It doesn’t break things like other overlays in my experience, but it also doesn’t provide anything I want.

Idk, I’ve had the fold 4 for since launch, took the internal protector off as soon as it started peeling in the center and it’s been absolutely fine. I use my stylus rarely unfortunately but it hasn’t obviously scratched the screen at all (I am a bit ocd about those things and would have likely noticed)

I had the fold 2 before that and similarly took the screen protector off within a few months and didn’t run into what you’re describing either. I DID have the hinge break where it wouldn’t open flat anymore but that was absolutely from my dropping it onto cement lol. When I swapped it for the 4 they still gave me the good condition value.

Same, I’m really curious how it feels in gameplay

Why? Also a fold owner

I meant if I self hosted

Does this mean we need to be hosting an email server too? I should just go look at the docs lol, this news might push me over the edge.

Ratchet and Clank games

Yep, completely agree

Sadly I’m on the latter train as well xD yeah completely agree.

I’d imagine so, it’s an d game, not sure how much they’re still making in it (not much I’d guess given the rampant hacking concerns and protests I’ve seen online)

So… Why not do the cool thing and open source it for the community to maybe build something cool in it (hell I’m SURE someone will make some neat stuff)

I’m glad some people understand beyond the headlines, I think NFTs could be really neat as a way to have some sort of in-game item or w/e, fully transferable and all that 🤷‍♂️

Especially since most nfts I’m aware of are on the ethererum blockchain, which now uses orders of magnitude less electricity from the switch off of PoW

A true believer was lost

It reminds me of how blizzard shot themselves in the foot on this front in regards to custom games back on SC and wc3

Starfield wasn’t terrible, but it also wasn’t great, very mediocre. I bought the limited edition like a fool because I saw the gameplay trailers and thought it looked awesome. I should have expected there would be very little depth to any of the systems.

Fallout 4 and Skyrim are my top played games on Steam by a mile, but I always play heavily modded.

Halo Infinite did it before either tbf

Here’s the thing, I hate the debt obsession in the US, however it’s also really not that difficult to not get into way more debt then you can manage (barring medical expenses) and having a high credit score (even though it is stupid) absolutely does help in a ton of ways here.

I would encourage Americans to play the game smart, use credit as if it were debit, do not intentionally go into debt unless absolutely necessary, and if you’re in that position you should start seeking help, because getting crushed in debt is fucking awful.

I learned a lot of what NOT to do from my parents and paying attention during the 2008 crisis.

I get them on sync

Sort of, I mean it’s a bit of a moot point since everyone agrees already gfe sucks

They’re not talking about gfe, they’re talking about the newer Nvidia app that replaces gfe

It literally never goes on sale lol

Is it self hosted or where are the notes stored?

I wouldn’t put it past a writer to do exactly this, pre AI it was common too.

Right, “if they can access the old games still, we can’t pay a understaffed 3rd party a pittance to slap a coat of paint on it and resell it at full price”

Elder Scrolls lore is pretty cool, they’ve never been AMAZING stories, but there’s enough there to RP and make decisions and such that have some kind of impact.

Starfields core gameplay is actually leagues more refined then prior games on the same engine, feels really good to play, where it lacks heavily is story, which is historically how they made up the difference between the lackluster gameplay.

To clarify a little, I mostly mean the FPS style gunplay.

I love Elden Ring and From Soft games in general, but the way they work is completely different.

There are no dialog trees in Elden Ring, no skills outside of combat, rudimentary crafting mechanics, rudimentary “enchanting” through things like affinity or ashes of war in ER.

Blatantly put, the focus is on completely different mechanics/systems that are much more simple, meaning much easier to not run into lots of bugs.

It’s just not really a good comparison.

Unless there’s a multiplayer aspect where it gives an unfair advantage, while it might be a bit unsavory and potentially predatory, I think being able to get those mtx in game “legit” without it being a slog is honestly much less shitty then other MTX I’ve seen.

You keep saying the ONLY POSSIBLE REASON is to get people to buy it twice, I provided reasoning and evidence to the contrary but you don’t care, so yes we’re done here 👍

Companies do different things? Madness! It must be a conspiracy!

You’re refusing to understand the reality of developing for the PC market and instead just shifting all the blame on corporate greed and corporate incompetence at the same time.

The only recent console I own is the switch, everything else is PC all day.

I waited for GTA V to come to PC and played it a lot when it did, so… Maybe if you only expect the fomo crowd to be the only gamers in existence… Sure.

Other then they’re different systems, console is much easier to test/develop on because its a consistent environment, PCs by comparison have so many potential differences per device that it’s much more nuanced.

Would you rather they release a broken ass game on PC or wait and let them optimize and potentially add extra functionality?

I know what I’m picking…

To be fair, when gta v did release on PC, it had a bunch of extra features they couldn’t get working performatively on the last Gen console hardware.

Have you played Alyx? It’s a full game

Alyx was a full game, portal 1/2?

Lol you’re correct it did increase the health pool, but what I remembered most was the cosmetic aspect, I was young tho

Wow this brought it full circle, the name looked familiar but then it clicked, back in my pirating days lol

Also Mindcrack UHC, not sure if that came before the hunger games mods tho

I didn’t see Plateup! mentioned, similar to Overcooked but rogue lite with more emphasis on RNG and customization of the restaurant (through where you place the tables/utilities)
