Or bring server browsers back and let server mods handle it.

I’ve rarely, if ever, had a bad time using a server browser.

A more modern idea. Put all the chesters into the same lobbies through matchmaking

Agreed I would totally support emus using a business software license just because of how they’re treated by business.

I believe they do have their own emulator. It logically would be what powers the Nintendo arcade

Here in sync. I clicked the preview in a repost and it didnlt load.

Clicked through to the original post and it loaded… It took about a minute and a half to load though.

I’m in the middle of a play-through right now.

Is this going to boot me? Can I block the game from being upgraded? Or is remastered a new SKU?

I wanted to like Steep but the Controller experience, even on the Steam deck is so horrible I didn’t last a full hour

Steam does good by the customer. No one else does. Only when they are customer first will they make a dent in Steam sales.

That’s half the reason I don’t buy Ubisoft games. The other half is their launcher and DRM system.

Big if true! Thanks for sharing, I’ll keep an eye out. The closest thing I’ve seen is Halo Infinite making the highres textures a free dlc

Download game, enable offline mode on your steam deck for vacation.

Open game on the plane, in offline mode, get booted from game because you can’t log in.

Megaman battle network got me this way. Switched to emulator and played the same game before it was enshittified.

I honestly don’t understand why games don’t simply use something like Android does.

If I have a 720p monitor, download lower res assets and a smaller game. If I have a 4k monitor, download all the pixels and consume 100gb.

Rooting for Palworld devs, I can think of several examples of prior art.

I’m sorry who in their right mind signed off on this patent

NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM HAVING STORED THEREIN GAME PROGRAM, GAME SYSTEM, INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, AND INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD

Thats literally any online game server

That could track because Nintendo hasn’t gone after Moonstone island either and that uses food / barns to store captured “spirits”.

I disagree. I bought a game for all the features it had at the time of buying it. There is no avenue for a consumer to push back against publishers changing that

I would still play it… If they allowed Linux gamers

OK fine but you better let me watch YouTube on my infotainment then since it’s just as distracting

They don’t have a chance. Steam and gog not only don’t suck, they’re actually nice to use.

Mine shows 702mb of user data after about 6 months of call history. However I don’t find this very unreasonable for the feature set provided.

The app continues to function offline so I could imagine a cache of the information gets generated once the application is launched and permissions granted.

First off, it appears to source contact information, this appears to be standardized because access is backed by the Contacts permission scope. I imagine it caches this information, because it also builds an index of your contacts in order to drive the t9 dialer search.

The phone also offers integration for voicemail and visual voicemail transcriptions. These would either need to be stored in the app, or associated with the data if it rests outside of the apps directory.

Finally there is the call history. It looks like Android has a standard location for this because it has its own permisson scope.

This means, in order to maintain functionality when offline, the app would have to store associations to contacts, the call history, voice transcription text, and voicemail audio.

The look up of this information could be slow to do each time a tab is opened so it likely stores these associations in a local database for quicker access. That local database would need to be stored in the apps directory contributing to its size.

They’re asking for more proxies now.

Time to run some proxies for these oppressed people.

8bitdo or King Kong 2

Sadly I also primarily use a DualSense, specifically for the touchpad.

But I love the 8bitdo for emulators, and the King Kong for racing games.

Time to finish that last 10% of Ratchet and Clank so I can refund it if they pull this crap.

I really like Book Reader

I dont know, it seems like a gratuitous purchase.

“AI”

Well damn, why didn’t you tell me, I must have this now.

You can add a search bar to the app drawer from the launcher settings that searches the app drawer.

As for system wide search. I ended up using sesame

It goes really deep, worth the read.

They offered a tool to remove the rootkit that just silently installed another one.

I agree completely, especially under the video game preservation viewpoint.

I lost a few DSi games when the store shut down so I only bought switch cartridges. However I haven’t touched it since I got a Steam Deck because I know those games will last

If you’re buying a Nintendo console for 3rd party games you’re going about it all wrong tbh

Niagara launcher user here. Dont forget us!

Thanks for sharing! Living the keyboard so far.

If there is anything I would change it would be to make the emoji view the default long press for enter and for it to scroll horizontally.

I partially miss the built in gif integration, but it’s really cool to have dual finger typing again.

That was seemingly really only to dunk on Sony and secure another year of sales.

They could stand to make a bunch of money reselling old games with 4k, vrr, HDR, and calling it remastered.

they have to find new ways of competing for business

Yeah haha. Regrettably doing right by the consumers because a competitor is.

Although I would not be surprised if they find a way to make a money pit out of it. (Such as not being chill like Sony and releasing on steam, forcing users on to the Windows store)

Here is a great explanation on the matter.

I learned Rosetta is efficient because it’s backed by hardware on the M1. I saw that if you use Rosetta on Linux for example the Qualcomm emulator competes.

Niagara Launcher is so unique and difficult to switch from once you get used to it’s simplicity.

And then they don’t toggle where you want to toggle (a connect / disconnect on each device) so you have to tap and guess or open settings anyway

It’s a shame they waited until the end to do it. I’d have bought the game just to support the gesture had they done it earlier.

Will be setting up a server and trying it out now 🙂

I’ll try to dig them up and share back here but the annoying ones are:

• Randomly get stuck half way between light and dark mode
• Randomly will refuse to load a page, switching tabs shows the same page that is stuck. Only force closing fixes.
