People have been trending away from random online interactions for decades. With good reason. As populations increased the ability to police behavior plummeted. Negative interactions skyrocketed and now few people want to chance abuse with it being so common.
It’s also partly what you said: people want to get stuff done. I remember EverQuest 1 and Nexus. You couldn’t do shit solo. People generally want to be able to actually play the game and accomplish something and they don’t always have 30-60 min to look for a group before they can start playing.
It’s a very different market these days and people have a lot of things they can do with their time. Playing chat roulette to play a game doesn’t cut it.
I have stopped buying games that aren’t on 90% off sales, and even then mostly stopped. I only buy a game that I want to play immediately. I have way too much to do and play and it’s not worth building a backlog since I’ll just forget it anyways.
Long gone are the days of super sales where 75-95% off were common.
Edit: clarification: I buy very cheap games for my backlog and buy games full price as long as I want to play them right now.
I beat the first major boss: Dancing Lion from trailers. I’m not good at these games. Took me a dozen+ tries. I used the NPC summon because they tend to have story elements.
NPC doesn’t do much damage and dies quickly in phase 2. It helps but not that much.
So far it’s not that hard. Biggest hurdle is even with +24 weapons I cannot do sufficient damage to the wickermen or new dragons. I assume it’s the leveling items? But their moves aren’t hard, it just feels like chip damage.
Linux users are not your audience. Owners of the Steam Deck are. I’d wager the vast majority of Deck users do not have a computer that runs Linux. You don’t really need to know how to do anything in Linux even in desktop mode. The environment is so similar to mac and windows for most tasks.
He’s just pissy about the idea of designing anything that would benefit Steam; the heavyweight he has tried and failed to emulate.
Hasn’t everyone figured out the scam yet? It’s very common.
Release game. Slowly role out content over years in dlc. Make new game with a few core changes and take all the content away. Slowly role out content over years in dlc.
We’re on the 7th iteration people. It’s the same with fighters other than smash. You’re just going to pay to buy the same stuff over and over again.
She’s a goddess that wants to remake the universe. You’re a god that keeps her asleep to protect the current universe. The Princess is a tendril trying to escape and pry open her prison. The Crow was the echo of the soul of a wizard that is trying to prevent the Princess from escaping and killing everyone.
At least that’s what I interpret it as.
My statement is based on the fact that they require a PSN account to play their games on PC now. And if they can’t offer PSN in a country, they aren’t offering the games for sale either. It’s quite literally impossible to avoid a free PSN account if you want to play their games on PC without pirating.
Sony is really desperate for more revenue. To the point they are refusing to sell their products unless they can harvest your data to sell. It’s rather sad. I wonder if they’ll have enough money for the R&D and production for the PS6 or PS5Pro.
It’s also baffling why Sony doesn’t expand PSN to other countries if they are hindered from selling products due to that.
So there’s a place in the Forgotten Realms," Smith explained, “or the D&D universe, I should say, called the Far Realms. And some of the lore says that’s where the mind flayers began—it’s the cosmic horror place, you know. So I had this whole idea that you’d have this seer, who’s sitting at the bottom of Candlekeep, who is basically staring into the Far Realms, you know, and has gone completely insane, and you have to go down there and find out what he’s seen. I still think it would have been very cool.”
That would have been very cool, indeed.
I don’t know much about this scene. How is this different than an emulator? You still need a ROM I believe.
