I mean really, what more can you ask for than clearly giving credit?

I guess I could be a writer for PC Gamer since I already watch Dave’s youtube videos.

PSA: Space Cadet Pinball has been reverse engineered and you can now run it on most popular platforms and even consoles. (flatpak version)

And here we have the "git gud’ sycophant.

It wasn’t really that, it was an 8 year old callback. I guess I forgot how old it was and that people had forgotten about the whole Cuphead kerfuffle (Dean Takahashi).

That’s a great feature indeed. And then there’s their CO-OP feature making couch coop online a thing.
It’s starting to feel like an advertisement for Steam, but they hardly need it 😄
I can relate to the port forwarding troubles. That’s been the biggest hurdle about gaming for decades. Idk if lan-emulating solutions can circumvent. Back in the day there were Tunngle, Evolve, Himachi and ZeroTier. I think Tailscale might be the way to go today.

I’ve come to accept that. Also, I’m not getting any younger.
I used to be ok at arena shooters and FPS+Z games (like Tribes) because of the movement, but that was M+K (I learned to use a controller just for Rocket League). It really feels like my brain is just too set in it ways to git gud. That’s the other sad thing about getting older, besides the lack of time.

Believe me, if there were alternatives I’d list them instead/as well. Itch.io is the best alternative afaik, and it has no features at all, just a download link.

Thanks for the correction. I play through Heroic and haven’t really needed to use what you listed, probably why it’s a blind spot for me. But it’s also why I prefer GOG, no downsides for me.

If you wanted to be tagged as a steam fanboy just say so 😅

The only one feature GOG doesn’t have that Steam has that I can think of is the workshop, but they have all the rest like savegame cloud sync etc.

EDIT: @[email protected]’s comment below points out additional missing features.

It was a callback to how one game journalist complained about the difficulty of Cuphead making it hard for him to review. Source1, Source2.
Not all games are catered to everyone. The fun of this game like many other hard games is dedicating the time to master them.
For instance I still suck at Rocket League even though I’ve played it on and off for a decade.

Another win for GOG? DRM free and their servers didn’t crash.
Although it is sad to see that people don’t buy enough from GOG for them to crash… I guess people like their DRM.

“Easy mode” aka “game journalist mode”

Yeah, Ubisoft almost went bankrupt not that long ago. It was only with a $1.3 billion dollar infusion by Tencent they survived. Leadership barely know that the point of the company is to make games.

Like knowing how to use the bucket/fill tool compared to drawing in the fields manually, I can totally see how getting some automation to do scaffolding, as he calls it, will speed up certain programming jobs.

One of the few games based on the Quake 2 engine. Which is a shame, I quite liked the chunky feel of it.

I barely remember the story of SiN, but I do remember enjoying it when it came out. That whole “guy in the chair”/mission control shtick is probably why I hold this game in the same category as Deus Ex in my head, even though they’re very different.

Nooo, not Daikatana 2! 😭

It’s like how banks figured there was more money in catering to the super rich and just shit all over the rest of us peasants, GPU manufacturers that got big because of gamers have now turned their backs to us to cater to the insane “AI” agenda.
Also, friendly advice, unless you need CUDA cores and you have to upgrade, try avoiding Nvidia.

Putting this on repeat while I open Heroic Games Launcher and reinstall Deus Ex. One of those “if you see it mentioned it’s an instant replay” games.

Btw, Deus Ex GOTY Edition is discounted by 86% on GOG right now during their Gaming Heatwave Promo. It’s about the price of a can of beans. Worth it if you ask me.
_{(Other good deals, like Hitman games and other Deus Ex titles).}

Oof. I love Obsidian, I really do, but The Outer Worlds 1 wasn’t at all the kind of game I was looking for. NPC’s felt very cardboard-y, each and everyone you had to talk to was anchored to one place, the world didn’t feel lived in or alive.

And then asking $80 for a sequel to that?
That’s gonna be a no from me dawg.

It’s just 7 curated mods so far, but it’s better than nothing. I suspect it’ll remain curated and mostly for bigger mods.

EDIT: By pure luck of my YT algorithm I found out that GOG also released a little video explaining what their plan for mods is.

The only controversy I’ve heard of was Manjaro forgetting to renew an SSL license a while back (probably 2 years ago by now), I wasn’t aware there had been other issues.

Thanks. I was hoping there was some way to voluntarily help those stats along. It’s a known phenomenon in the linux community how much we hate leaving a crumb trail of any kind, but it would be nice to send a signal to game developers to start taking us seriously, and that might just be through steam stats after all.

But how does one participate in these statistics? Via the Help menu -> System report -> Submit?

I don’t get the hateboner the linux community has against Manjaro, it’s the only distro that booted correctly in live image mode with full nvidia support on my PC, so seems like they at least take Nvidia pretty seriously.

Nice! If it wasn’t for the 100GB free cloud storage I have on OneDrive I would definitely have switched as well.

Onedrive isn’t the easiest to set up, but it isn’t so bad. You need the OneDrive client for linux, which is available in the main fedora repository (sudo dnf in onedrive) and for easier use and setup I recommend OneDriveGUI which has a pretty easy way to setup ones profile. Available either as an appimage, by compiling yourself or via the AUR via distrobox (which I just tested from Nobara and works, although personally I just use the appimage version).

There’s an additional 2 titles free right now, and Sifu is one of them - and that also looks amazing.

I didn’t much like W1 and W2. Especially W2 feels like it’s on rails. The story is pretty good though.

I just thought it did something akin to kernel anticheat, something fucky like that which wouldn’t run properly via proton.

I’m surprised denuvo even runs via proton.

It is odd, they have no problems talking about the internet despite that being a newer thing than gaming historically.
Maybe it’s some dumb attempt at seeming more adult by trying to look like they don’t know what computer games are.

It’s obviously subjective, and since I have a love for adventure games, which are better at conveying a story than a shooter in my opinion, or at least a lot better than what the Gearbox Borderlands games managed to do, I just feel like Telltale told the possible version of a story from that universe. Lots of comedy, amazing characters and great voice acting. Of Telltales best games, I’d say it’s in the Top 3 with The Walking Dead. Not sure what I’d put as number 3 though… “Either Back to the Future: The Game” or “The Wolf Among Us”.

Which part? That Telltale made the best Borderlands game? Or that Borderlands 4 is going to flop?
I visited “Tales from the Borderlands” steam page 1½ hour ago, around the time I wrote that comment, and I saw some reviews that highlighted Gearbox horrible new EULA which is very privacy invasive. Combined with the franchise’s recent flop, the movie, I’m not certain many people are willing to to pay $80 for practically spyware.

Oof… Sounds like it’s gonna flop massively then.

In my opinion, the only good thing that’s come out of that franchise was the Telltale games.

There’s also TamperMonkey (closed source) and ViolentMonkey (also MIT license like GreaseMonkey). I prefer ViolentMonkey. I believe there was a reason many years ago where either Tamper or Grease monkey didn’t work for like a week which is why I switched, but I believe they’re all equally good.
Manifest v3 might make it harder to get going on chromium browsers in a months time, but looks like you’re on Firefox - shouldn’t be problem there.

I try to avoid them as well. They show up a lot in search results for no reason, but adding something like “before:2100”, that is, refining one search to show videos before the year 2100 in this case, that removes a bunch of unrelated shorts as well. In general whenever I see a feature I don’t like, I check if others hated it as much as me and did something about it via a userscript.

They were just trying to be funny, but I also wonder what it means.

I hadn’t seen that sketch in a little while, I was pleasantly surprised to see they added 14 additional audio tracks with translations. I wish that was more common, making humour more international like that.

You can just get a userscript that redirects it to become a normal video.

This was a pleasant surprise. I’m not sure buying the “bundle” version with the soundtrack is worth it as Mick Gordon got screwed over by Bethesda, and also it’s just plain 320 kbps MP3 - not that my old tinnitus ears would be able to differentiate that from lossless, but worth mentioning.
