So going on a shopping spree and buying all those game studios wasn’t a good idea huh. Who would have thought.

Just the tip, you won’t even feel it.

Windows on arm

Overtime the the electrons in and flash dissipates if not powered.

The amount of time it takes varies.

I think they are still maintaining both versions, at least for now.

And they all are derivatives of drug war.

It’s not just good, it’s great!

Why money launder when you can just spend that sweet subscriber cash.

I hope it succeeds. A positive game about diversity and inclusion in this economy.

Don’t forget they have their own gaming overlay(win+G while in game)

They have good intentions, but the game is being published by EA. Can they actually say now to micro transactions?

Microsofts problem is they never follow through. They launched it for consumers and did absolutely nothing with it. Didn’t make any games, or applications for consumers at all. If you build it they will come doesn’t work when you don’t have a vision.

We have Warhammer at home.

Blame AI.

It’s going to be interesting when they finally kill all their AI integrations in windows. Microsoft similar to Google likes to build things and if it’s not an immediate success they kill it as fast as the can. Even faster than Google does.

A pattern you will see with Microsoft is they will build something, let it languish, build the next version, let it languish and then kill it. They are hella slow to react to markets or update their products, especially hardware.

I would prefer if it behaved like phone app stores. Have an option to ask for a pin right before completing a purchase.

Not every purchase, same if you use the PayPal option. At least not in my state in USA.

Also the fact that on the steam deck there is no choice to add a pin before purchases is mind boggling to me. Hand it to a kid and they could run up serious bills.

Krita or drawpile? https://drawpile.net/about/

Yet Steam exists. If I was Microsoft I would be trying to improve the handheld experience on Windows. Launchers, games, and the os absolutely are not integrated and fight each other.

Didn’t account for the initial interest peak.

Or adding Xbox logins

While true, the case in this article is that the game developers are fixing the broken save file for the player so they can load it and play it. Not just reporting the game is making bugged saves. Most game devs do not do this. Some do but the vast majority do not.

Fix buggy saveing/save systems yes. Fix personal buggy saves files to a working state for a particular player? No.

They wouldn’t, you can’t claim ownership of AI generated material in many places. So for such a litigant company AI is a no go.

This post title makes it sound like Uematsu Nobuo is just some guy. 😕

That’s unfortunate. It looks like Zotac is releasing a handheld that looks super similar to the steam deck. https://www.zotac.com/us/page/zotac-gaming-zone-portable-handheld

With all the Xbox game pass advertising it looks like it runs windows. Hopefully one of the handheld Linux distros will work on it.

Sounds like Valve might need to market the Steam deck harder in Japan. Show that it can be used portably like a PSP/DS and that it can be used as a console with a screen and controller.

Embracer should divest the studios so they can do their own things.

Dance Dance Revolution and Left 4 Dead 2.

Left 4 Dead 2

I don’t know, embracer has their hand in this.

Please don’t take selfies with the depressed bear.

Present Day, Present Time

Is that a Lain reference I spy?

Embracer is straight acquiring and then murdering people’s nostalgia.

Shark cards

They Daybreak Games. Rescuing games like EverQuest Next, H1z1:Just Survive, and Planetside.

You really want Sony to develop something, host it, keep it secure, and make sure it lasts? I don’t have that kind of faith in them.

If they were all smart they would host their own mastodon instances so they can control their own social networks.

Placebo works even when the subject knows it’s a placebo.
