The situation has changed recently.

Google backed down from this being mandatory this week. There will be an option to allow side loaded apps but it will require a 24h delay to enable.

True. However TS has been around for a very very long time and have a proven record of not shitting on users. The free server and client have remained free all this time.

That doesn’t mean things will always be good though.

A 5080 will play everything at max on either OS so something else is happening here

Is that the same with Sony? As they are doing the same thing

* if you purchase the budget version.

Is it worth playing this now in 2025? It’s on my “bought but never loaded” list

If it’s true they the malicious game has been available for a month then steam has some blame.

I played Roblox with my kids as I was worried about this. They wanted to hang out with their school friends in Roblox and I was worried about the whole pedo thing so I joined them to monitor what was going on. It was actually really good fun. We played on and off for several years. Didn’t come across any pedos.

Oops, sorry for expressing my opinion.

I could skim read an article at my own pace instead of having to watch for 20m, but whatever.

Perhaps it could have multiple formats so it reaches a wider audience.

I don’t have time to sit and focus on a YouTube video for 20 minutes, so I just simply miss out.

If this was a serious effort then a written version and a website would be available in parallel. If there is one, is there a link?

The argument there is if a game is left online with no studio to care for it then they believe they would be liable for community content.

I don’t think it applies to offline games at all.

Someone got pwned during the tutorial.

Oh okay. We shall continue to wait then :)

Whaaaaaaaaat?!

My wife and I were looking forward to this. We played the original together a bunch of times.

Oh well, thanks for sharing, will go look for something else. Damn.

I was looking for a looter shooter and tried this out a few months ago.

I found there to be just too much loot. Mobs died and dropped 4+ weapons. I was having to leave stuff behind and get overwhelmed with choice anxiety.

I just bought a new 2019 Pro, will see how that goes. I’m told the Apple TV stuff is snappy, but it’s Apple.

x86 would be great but Netflix only support listed hardware so might not be wife proof

I opened it last night to blow out the dust and there wasn’t a physical drive. I know it’s old and could likely be the 2017 Pro.

It doesn’t have an AI upscaler option in settings so I think it’s 2017

I don’t mind spending money. I have been looking at building an x86 android TV and getting a mini pc. But Netflix wouldn’t be supported without hacks.

My shield is a 2017 pro model. Maybe I’d benefit from a 2019?

Odd you cited GTA6 in relation to single payer. GTA5 single player is a great experience but it’s popularity and success is largely attributed to the multi player elements.

Lots of hate on ubisoft. I think division 2 is a great game though, not so much the rest.

I expect they tell us it can achieve that because under the hood DLSS4 gives it more performance if enabled.

But is that a fair comparison?

Yep. Even a bad game can be good when played coop.

It seems like the writing is leaning on being negative.

“These 2 games don’t work, even with FSR”

Okay, legitimate issue.

“This game doesn’t with without FSR”

That’s what FSR is for, and now you don’t want to use it. This isn’t an issue.

I enjoyed the original, what seems like decades ago now. This seems good 👍

Thanks for your reply. I understand a lot better now.

The comment said it was proprietary and uses signal and MLS.

Maybe I misunderstood.

I didn’t know MLS and Signal were Google proprietary. TIL. Thanks.

It’s a shame Apple decided not to implement e2ee like Google did.

This is an older article, but there is still no movement. https://forums.appleinsider.com/discussion/234352/apples-flavor-of-rcs-wont-support-googles-end-to-end-encryption-extension

Lemmy demographic feels like mostly Linux users.

Lemmy posters are on vegan level of promoting Linux, and sith level of hate on Windows.

I really like the original game, I just find it really difficult. I want to beat it at least once. After several pay throughs, I finally killed the last boss only to reveal another act! I died shortly after and haven’t got that far again. Sucks for me.

That’s odd. Has always been dependable for me and my family over the years.

In no way in hell is it worth the amount poured into it. Which leads to the only conclusion that the money is being mishandled. Put simpler: it’s a scam

BF2 will hold a special place in my heart. I had many good times in that game. BF3 and onwards only got worse at each iteration. Call of duty was a major influence on the game and it eventually fell out of favour with me.

Having a default and per app setting is actually super useful and isn’t a hassle

Can Apple have third party home screens?

As long as you’re saying that in the same way as normal phone calls distract, then I agree.

Teams becomes a replacement for phones in business, so likely be more used for 1:1 calls than meetings.

Starts to feel like a game on early access.

But when the mods are removed from Nexus…

My phone really struggled to render the web page. Looks great though
