I knew a kid who had the Sega channel thing, it was amazing to watch.

GW2 is the first MMO i out over 2k hours into. It’s a shame that the last few years have felt pretty meh. I haven’t been playing seriously since PoF, life got busy, and the narrative just wasn’t hitting with me. Also the desert maps weren’t that great imo. I guess i have more problems than I expected with it.

Right now? The remaster of Soul Reaver 1/2. Now i just need someone to do the rest of the series.

This is my fear. Gabe won’t last forever, and I don’t know anyone else who has a customer centric approach as he does. Maybe that guy from Costco who threatened to kill someone over the hot dog price.

Disc rot is a serious problem for cds, is this just someone damaged the disc?

But can I get it for $400? Because if not, then why are we talking about the Steam Deck.

I only have anecdotal evidence here, but I know two people who have switched their main gaming computers and laptops to linux recently, and in both cases the Steam Deck played a big part.

I’ve tried convincing people to move over, but in these cases, it wasn’t until they owned the steamdeck for a while and wanted to do something like adding emulators or games from another source that they dropped into desktop mode on the SD and had that experience.

I need a better analogy, but right now I think the Steam Deck is an outstanding Trojan Horse for linux adoption. Many people won’t bother going out of their way to use it as a computer, just a console, but it’s there if they do.

The Steam machines were a similar idea but linux wasn’t useful for gaming until DXVK, several years after the Steam machines. I was dual booting when they came out simply because running games on Linux at that time was a nightmare

I mean sure, but I’m not always connected and my cell plan has a limit.

I never understood these things until I went back to university. Now I totally understand having my life on my laptop and just being able to sit down and plug in for a gaming experience.

I don’t like using my desktop that much anymore because I spend so much time on my laptop, and syncing files over nextcloud is meh.

I never heard of this game, except for how poorly it’s performed. I didn’t see any sneak peaks, or ads on the Playstation store. I didn’t hear about it from friends or guildies.

I know that’s a sample size of one, but no one I know or play games with had it in their radar at all. This game showed up one weekend with some drama over psn accounts or something, then flopped and I still know almost nothing about the actual game.

I saw more information on The Finals than I saw on this.

I loved my Xperia XA2, but when the next android update came down the pipe I literally lost features.

Didn’t the us government give them 3bn to build foundries stateside?

I don’t think I’ll leave OW2 for this, purely because I’m super casual and only play unranked/MH.

I’m glad that is coming out and people are having fun though.

The manufacturer is concerned that they will be pulling a ton of power from both connectors. Sometimes the second connector is just for ancillary power silly or balancing, in this instance they are saying that they’re planning on your card pulling as much power as possible.

You might find that in heavy situations, or on hot days, your power supply overcurrent will trip out and your system will crash. If you have the second connector, I’d connect it, and if you’re worried about having a plug dangle around just tie it back with a tywrap or some electrical tape so it’s nice and clean.

That’s actually an amazing achievement considering how popular the 1070/1650 are.

Those Hams ams chonky.

The headline misspelled monetize.

There are too many handhelds coming out too fast that are too expensive with no differentiation.

I don’t know how long these companies are going to stay in the market.

It’s a little bit more than “your os knows everything you do”.

Copilot for Windows isn’t the same thing as Copilot for 365, although it’s similar, and the system requirements only apply if you tell it to process locally. My understanding of the docs is Copilot is cloud based by default.

The issue isn’t smooth brained luddites, it’s smooth brained casuals giving condom over their personal information to a corporation that has a fiduciary responsibility to profit and grow.

So people not understand the main benefits of the Steamdeck are: It’s cheap It doesn’t use windows.

Like honestly, GPD has been making solid windows handhelds for years, but they’ve never been a popular as now because of these two things.

“The good news is we have a console for people without internet access, it’s called Xbox 360”

First their drm is based around the assumption that you’re a criminal, and now this. I’m kinda glad I didn’t buy it.

I guess this needs a preface, so, I invested $45 in the initial Kickstarter.

That being said. Every time I log in I’m amazed by the scale and scope of the systems in this game. It’s a game in a mind blowing scale, with so much crazy detail and so much to do. It’s also a massive clunky mess that I can’t play for more then an hour. Nothing is really cohesive. Nothing works together, and everything is constantly broken.

There’s a multiverse where this is the meta-universe that people interact with in a natural way, and people can exist in for almost their whole lives. But our universe rolled a one…

This is more or less what I was getting at. Windows UAC triggers so often with no context that’s its really just an annoying popup to most users. You need to pass the same UAC prompts to installing Excel as to install a root kit or a compromised software package.

I hate how obfuscated it is on Windows. At least if it asked me for sudo, I’d know to Uninstall. On Windows programs can just do anything.

There are definitely people who look up specific devs to dox and harrass.

I wouldn’t say it happens more often than your local female meteorologist gets harassed, but it does happen enough that if I became a game dev no one online would ever know.

So it’s a $50 bomb model? I mean that’s not bad I guess. Assuming it’s a decent model and not like the garbage Bethesda usually ships nowadays.

If you’re going to try and compete with something like Steam, you need to actually compete.

Most launchers are storefronts at best and nothing else. Often the buying experience isn’t even good.

Haven’t enjoyed a Pokémon game in years. Palworld is a blast however. The humor, the designs, and the game play. It’s about time somebody did Pokémon right

I am 100% convinced that article was written by ai with just enough info to keep people reading between the ads.

Even before Origin, EA offered online sales with their EA Downloader app and it was a freaking nightmare. Terrible speeds, and you could only download a game so many times, and any purchases didn’t transfer to Origin.

It’s very ranch based. The amount of stuff you do on your ranch is awesome, and whenever you have to goto town it’s annoying.

I did not know this existed and now I am obsessed…

Yeah, so, dedicated hardware like that rarely ever pans out. I mean, graphics cards did, but there’s not much of a market for gaming sound cards or physX cards anymore. I imagine that the specific type of AI that will be useful for this will eventually just be improved and made efficient enough that it’ll be done by processors that already exist in your system.

There is a wierd amount of generative-learning articles on game/tech Lemmy. I keep seeing these articles from publications that I’ve never heard of and I get excited because “Oo new people in the space” then halfway through the article I feel duped.

Okay is gamescensor written by actual people, or just some generative learning SEO site? Because wow this is a mess of an article.

The mod replaces the FSR2 upscaling technology included in the game (which is made for AMD graphics cards)

FSR2 works on every major graphics card

a more modern upscaler that is compatible with more recent Nvidia cards.

Wat?

PureDark, who claimed to make more than $40,000

Nope some one else extrapolated that data from a patreon page.

It may be because AMD is “Starfield’s exclusive PC partner” and only supports FSR2 technology at launch that the game only does so.

Wat again?!?

Blizzard has been on a downward trend for a lot longer than 3 years.

I recommended Life is Strange to a guy at work on a Friday and that Monday he came in yelling “I didn’t sign on to feel things! Why did you do that to me?”.

The price raised more than the performance you gain. It’s pretty much a solidly bad deal at MSRP. It’s also indicative of a poor attitude towards gamers wallets. NVIDIA has cleaned up during the crypto boom, and they’re pricing products like that’s the new norm.

That’s a shame. BG2 really upped everything about the first game, it’s an amazing experience though one that hasn’t agreed too well.
