Don’t know anything about this. I tried to play the first one recently and it was ok. I don’t think it aged well. I really wanted to play it when it came out but it murdered my PC. I’m sure I would have enjoyed it more back then.

Is this a continuation?


Better support plus it drives Linux as a gaming OS which I’m a fan of. The more consumers choose to game on Linux the more adoption it will get. Look at windows 11. What horse shit. 12 isn’t shaping up to be much better.


Homm3 was something I played the demo of as a kid then in later life I rediscovered it and binge it once and a while. I bought heroes 4 and 5, maybe even 6 and they just don’t feel the same. There’s tons of threads on which is best and I have yet to see homm3 come in anything but 1st lol.

I’m just running the gog version at the moment, decided I’d go through the regular campaign so I can play the official addon campaigns I had no idea about until a year ago. I have all of those as well.

Used vcmi to play it on my phone once. Does it do anything better than the gog config on PC?


Heroes of might and magic 3. I always come back, eventually.


AI is such an annoying buzzword at this point. “oh have you heard of AI? We need AI!” Say every industry, and probably even the dairy industry.



Only? I mean people die in their 50s and 60s all the time. You never know. I just hope the one that takes over has the same morals as Gabe.


Yup, gog and steam are my 2 preferred platforms. Same_but_different.gif



Ya because so far it doesn’t seem to impact the consumer so it works for me lol. Valve has always had great sales too. If they jacked up prices YoY, and did evil things, then I’d welcome competition. But all I see at this point is lousy extra software to install a single game or two. Annoying. Fragmented. Just just media streaming.



I’d be deciding whether or not to start journey 3 or riding torrent around finishing things I didn’t do. I can do whatever I want as Elden lord


Was already considering switching to team red anyways


I don’t need a souls clone to steal my souls. So many hours I put into these damn time sinks.



Yeah, I also don’t like how every vendor is pushing you to their ecosystem. Smart things which you can’t get rid of, for example. At least that existed on the s7 😂.

It would be good if your phone gave you the option. Everything is so fragmented in tech


Controversial. I’ve owned many of the Nexus line and I own the pixel 6 pro. I also rocked an s7 for a while. Samsung definitely does a great job with their UI but I also would like to point out that these issues with pixel are not as common as news points them out to be. I know several people with pixel phones that experienced none of these issues.

My advice is to just prioritize what you want out of your phone. The fact I will always get android updates first and probably the longest os support compared to Samsung and the ease in which I can flash custom ROMs of I wanted to is why I stick with pixel. Samsung definitely had extras I wish Google would bake into stock android though.


Classic google. Add this to the Google app graveyard.


Well, I’m sure it’s good enough by the time they slap their own drivers in there. It’s just streaming. I’d imagine literal wifi being the bigger culprit of any slowness. And android is already there so it’s easier to build off that than make your own thing, especially when it’s doomed to fail anyway 😂



This. And when Sony shuts down that service that makes this work one day, it’s a brick.


This gets a huge meh from me. It’s a wannabe switch/steam deck that’s basically good enough in most cases for someone that will likely be in front of their ps5 to use it effectively anyway, given that most homes don’t have adequate wifi coverage for high throughput. And relying on home internet upload speeds it a whole other caveat. Still relies on a cloud service, so once Sony decides to shut that down then it’s 100% e-waste.

No thanks.


I still play quake and doom and hexen and heretic and a whole bunch of others. Gog.com is my favourite place to buy games if I can get them there.

I also dabbled in 3d modelling back then in 3d studio max or something. I used to love it, now I just don’t have the time 🤣.



There’s no technical reason the phone should slow down after 2 years unless newer OS versions are more straining, or all those years of gummed up apps are taking their toll. I’m on a 6 pro, which is now nearly 2 years old, not slow in the slightest.


Randomizers? You mean you can rearrange the whole game or something?


I didn’t even know about this. This is awesome, but the last thing I’d like to know is does it have predatory online requirements or can you play offline and not be forced to log in to play?

If it ticks that box I’ll buy this.

Edit: found it in the FAQ, yes you can!


I used to root every phone I owned cause I could do so much more with it. I haven’t rooted in so long, android does what I need now


I dunno, I just remember reviewers discussing it. I don’t have facebook. But looks like they did in fact ditch the facebook account requirement… in favor of meta accounts https://www.tomsguide.com/news/meta-just-removed-facebook-login-requirement-for-quest-headsets-what-you-need-to-know

No thanks.



Aaaaaaaaaand just like that, never buying a Facebook headset. Also because apparently they firmware updated to requiring a Facebook account.

Meh.

I’ll go valve index 2.0


Having something tangible can have perks. Steam bans you. Thousands lost. Online service shuts down. Games lost. I can still fire up this here super Nintendo… And nobody can tell me when it’s going to shut down and stop working.

One of the reasons I prefer to buy on gog. I can just save all my purchases to an external hard drive


I leave my database on nextcloud and sync it to all my devices. Works well for me.
