Yeah I am old enough to remember it being just a launcher (ala Ubisoft or EA games) for Half life 2 and a way to counter-strike with no mods. TBH I thought it was gonna fail hard and then after a decade of success, even I was stuck on steam. Also to add originally they only sold valve games as literally no third party was willing to give them a cent and they were short on IP.


I’ll have two number 9s, a number 9 large, a number 6 with extra dip, a number 7, two number 45s, one with cheese, and a large soda.


Yeah Airpods/iPhones have had this for almost a half decade, I am just as confused, seeing everybody act like this is brand new and mind-bending tech.


I can’t claim to know the full story, but the rumors I have heard said, half the QoL fixes in latest patches were from the developers of the mobile ports (Video Games Deluxe). Grove Street did such a piss poor job on first releases, quality wise, that you have to question whether they even did any QA. I can understand a bug that is a corner or even edge case, but literally even some of the cutscenes for main plot missions would not even render correctly at launch. Iirc it was later determined Grove street ran the games thru an ai upscaler that broke everything and they just said ship. Their logos were more prominent than usual, and they literally showed the least amount of work out of any of the dev teams, I am honestly outraged that they are upset. I hope this has the Streisand effect and they are blackballed from the industry entirely.


You are thinking of Mona Sax, she makes a brief appearance in the first game, but its in the second game where she shows up in most of the chapters (often showing up right before or after Max arrives to a location) and you play as in her in some of the later chapters.




You would think the fact that Hyrule is always different (sometimes even having a Lorule) and one of the most popular entries (remade three times) was a literal fever dream, that people would say realize the only actual Link is the character we played on the way.




For those out the loop (probably everyone since no one plays this game it seems) this is Concord by Sony, which after years of dev hell launched two days ago as an online game, but has yet to break 700 players online at a time SteamDB Source. In contrast the four year old, often called abandoned, Red Dead Online has more players during off-peak SteamDB Source


I am angry because you might be right, with a reposado tequila in hand 🤣


Lol he finally found peace and a new life, and you were like hes not distraught enough 🤣


I actually run W11 on my SteamDeck, and would not recommend it for most users and definitely not for anyone to use for console. The biggest “killer-feature” all of these handhelds are missing is the ability to sleep like SteamOS allows and every other portable console for last two decades. It honestly makes these devices like the Ally with all their greatly improved specs look like cheap knockoffs since they can’t sleep, which could be a huge problem when using on the go.


Well the moving party has to prove their allegations, aka Ubisoft moving to sue you means they have to prove everything they say. Since their stated public position is that they are sole owner at all times irregardless of circumstances, they would be legally barred (estoppel) from arguing that any one could hurt their possessory interest (rights and share of ownership). They essentially would have to shift the argument over, similar to a theft of service argument (not paying a train fare is a crime but you didn’t steal a train or turnstile). The question then becomes what service does ubisoft provide? Online servers that do content distribution seem to be the only thing. If you got it on the high seas you never hit their network, so all I see left with my hypothetical napkin math is all that random network traffic ubisoft games seem to always have (even offline).


NAL but technically speaking Ubisoft would lose because they would be unable to prove that they were deprived of anything or anything was appropriated from them with their current stance. Realistically they would just pivot and find some other nonsense to try, like claiming a theft of their computer server’s processing power everytime a pirated game accessed their lobby or some other nonsense that would barely fly, but fly none the less.


Yes, I don’t know all the solutions but one would be using iptables in linux and mangling the packets to adjust ttl, “normal” ttl can vary by carrier though, and with many phones there is an extra hop to account for as the phone is a router. You should be able to tell from a ping or trace route whats “normal”, but nowadays with carrier grade nat, I think it gets messed up sometimes.
