Really loving the game.
Playing it with a PS4 controller and it makes little noises out of the controller’s speaker. The menu notification sounds coming outta there is whatever, but the crunch of Sam’s footfalls coming out as it lightly vibrates is very cool, actually.
Play is a little janky on the Steam Deck, but plenty manageable on Low settings. Been using it in combo with the Steam Dock and it works well enough, but I prefer playing on the PC with my 3060 TI in there for the pretty graphics.
I think it’s your right to steal literally any game or piece of media for a slew of reasons that there is no reason to get into.
That said, I can’t imagine doing it for this game. The unique multi-player experience on its own was so fundamentally fascinating for the first one and I’ve heard the second game is just better in every way. I’m really looking forward to playing this one, and I don’t mind shelling out to support the developer. They’re not a small indie studio, really, but Kojima is doing such unique and consistently wonderful things with games, I really just wanna see more and more.
That’s true and it makes sense.
But the frequency of issues requiring extra work is far higher with Linux than Windows, in my experience, and it’s often a much longer process to fix with Linux.
With Linux, I often run into issues that I’ll patiently tinker with for hours, but eventually run into a wall, resolve to address another day. And I’ll learn a lot about computers along the way! That’s fine and even fun when it’s my self-hosted recipe app (which apparently simply cannot run on a Raspberry Pi except for all the people who said they got it working on their machine yet their solutions don’t work on mine), but it’s far more frustrating when it’s an application for something more basic like music or video playback, word processing or spreadsheets or internet browsing.
Of course all the same kind of problems can occur on a Windows machine, but, at least in my life, it happens less than once a year as opposed to Linux where it seems to happen once per “new thing” I try to do. Some day I’ll do it. But right now, Windows 10 “just works” in a way that’s more valuable.
Lmao tbf this is on a work computer where I don’t have that kind of control.
I still have 10 on the home PC and I get closer and closer to installing Linux on it every time I tinker with my raspberry pi. That said, I fear the same issues will come up. The second something doesn’t work right, I’m gonna have to turn to hunting down forum posts with issues similar to mine but slightly different and randomly applying fixes I don’t truly understand until something works. Not that this is all that dissimilar to when windows 10 breaks, but that happens far less often than it does with the Linux distros I’ve used.
Then comes the concern that I won’t be able to find drivers for the hardware I have, or if I upgrade hardware that it’ll be much harder to get drivers for newer stuff… I’d love to ditch Microsoft, but Linux, while much better than a decade ago, is still a shlep to use
The fucking calendar doesn’t show a whole month at once and instead a rolling 4 week selection of dates with the current week at the top. It’s fucking infuriating and while I can’t find a setting to switch to change that, I can change AM/PM to other custom abbreviations. No idea who that’s for but hey ho whatever Microsoft
Edit: I keep posting variations on this complaint hoping someone will eventually respond to the tune of “you’re a fucking moron, this is how you fix this” but it hasn’t happened yet, so that leads me to believe that it’s an actual fucking problem with the calendar module which blows my mind.
While I agree with you that it should be an option to turn it off, who is telling you that you need to send a full message if someone sees you were typing?
We’re the ones making the rules for this world full of technologies and we create the social rules for them daily with our own actions. Fuck that expectation, I’m sure other people can surmise what happened even if they noticed you were typing for just a second, they’re working with the same limited software.
Factorio!! This work week has been hell and I have a week PTO starting Monday. So time to put in some effort in an asynchronous multi-player game with a friend.
No Man’s Sky is doing a Halloween event, too, so I might play around in that to get some unique cosmetics. And the Expeditions usually have a tailored experience that’s always fun.
I’ve been playing Papers Please in the 30 min or so I have for gaming in the evenings lately. I might play more of that to see if I can get all the endings.
Unless the weather is nice. Then I’m going fishing.
MicroProse has really been filling a niche I’ve missed with these “old style” games. I mean, maybe an odd post to comment this specifically on, because this is and old game, but their recent releases in general seem to harken back to an older era of gaming that I’ve missed.
Hey, maybe we’ll get lucky and they’ll get to try their hands at another MechWarrior!
Life by You’s cancelation was a big disappointment to hear. I figured if any studio had an understanding of emergent intercharacter storytelling in the way a Sims game needed, it was Paradox.
That said, Para-Lives is still in the works and looks quite promising.
There’s still hope. Just not from EA.
Both Death Stranding games are way better then they have any business being and I love em
