Then there was me bouncing between Morrowind and Chrono Cross depending on who’s turn it was with the PC.

No need. Either the headline is accurate and they disagree with the premise of the article or the headline is rage bait in which case they don’t deserve clicks.

Yeah, I never finished the main quest or all the factions in Skyrim. I did everything in Morrowind. That game is the most immersive game I’ve ever played. Nothing has gotten close since. Even with the shitty combat system.

The biggest thing is the updates. If the game can update itself or is no longer getting updates I don’t care about it having a launcher. If I have to go to their website and download a new .exe every time they do an update it is annoying. Steam does provide a lot of other QOL features as well though.

Agreed

They replace the right windows key with a copilot button.

Is the water “consumed” when used for this purpose? I don’t know how data centers do it but it wouldn’t seem that it would need to be constantly drawing water from a local system. They could even source it from elsewhere if necessary.

It was alright but it felt like the flight mechanics was on rails compared to like Elite or x4. I got my money’s worth and may come back in the future but it never really got it’s hooks in me.

Is the latency due to the emulator or the Bluetooth connection? I’ve played all sorts of games on my PC without latency issues.

Overwatch had a PVE horde defense thing that came out around halloween that was fun as hell. I don’t know if they still do in the new one but that was the only reason I played that game.

I would consider them giving you the device for free to be putting their finger on the scale at the very least.

Up to the devs. There’s no objective should or shouldn’t it’s just a matter of opinion. Would it be nice? Yea. I get not wanting to play a game where you have to worry about coming into conflict with other players. I don’t like those types of games either. I also don’t buy them.

I literally spent like 12 hours this week figuring out how to do trains in factorio. Good times.

I like x4. It’s kind of like Elite Dangerous but the flight mechanics are a little easier and you can command much larger ships and hire NPC pilots and build fleets.

The PS2 Ace Combat games (4/5/Zero)

AC4 was what I came here to say. I loved that game.

I use mine as a reader for my ebook/comic collection and for pulling up recipes when I cook. Buying a whole ass laptop for that would be overkill and my phone screen is too small. Haven’t bought a new tablet in a long time though.

You know what you almost never see (outside of those “problematic gay games that turn the kids into litter boxes”)? A sexy twink.

So you never played JRPGs ?

Do mobile games have voice chats? I’ve never seen one that did.

Have they changed up the flight physics in that game at all since like 3-4 years ago? Combat always felt like it was on rails compared to like Elite or x4. I like that there was a lot of other stuff you can do but that really took me out of it.

He’s right. Movements need to focus on their thing. Workers rights already has a movement and it isn’t specific to game development. The two should both fight for their interests but trying to combine things that have nothing to do with each other just muddies the waters. How do you write a piece of legislation that covers both how video game rights are handled and also mandates worker rights? It doesn’t make sense.

I loved that game and RDR. I 99% completed it. The only thing I have left is the gambling challenges which are ridiculous. I should have did them before I finished everything else.

I was trying to keep it limited to gaming and Tetris was the most basic one that came to mind. How about Pong?

Also not knocking these games at all. Just trying to make a point.

That’s the thing, who defines what artistic value is? I’ve seen some pretty creative pornography over the years. Is that artistic value? I’ve seen very creative depictions of violence and uses of profanity too. What about on the other end of the spectrum, Is Tetris have artistic value?

While the effect of not having as much random porn on steam is kinda nice

There’s a box you have to check in your settings to even see it. Just turn that off if you don’t want to see it.

It’s not about porn, It’s about corporations dictating what type of content can be sold. You may not care about porn but what if they were to start going after LGBT stuff or something like that?

The devs rushing the game out half added results in them getting $225M. So they have incentive to be shitty too. I don’t know enough about any of them to say which is more likely but that logic goes both ways.

It’s insane how many stupid little problems there are with it. Especially on functionality that has existed for years/decades. It’s like they just change shit for the sake of changing it and then the changes aren’t tested properly to make sure they work. Absolutely ridiculous coming from such a massive company. It’s clear they give zero fucks about the user experience.

What free healthcare?

Not a fairphone but I’m on my 4th one on my phone and went through 2 on the phone prior to that.

My LG V20 has a replaceable battery. I’ve been through 3 of them. It’s why I’m still using it instead of one of the garbage options available now.

I certainly did. That good will got me buying their games up through Fallout 4 which finally crushed it. Didn’t even look at Starfield.

Yeah, that’s all beyond my abilities to figure out. Looking at my 602 it looks like the side buttons have their own board which is connected to the main board via ribbon cable. I thought it might be possible to do something similar with this one but I don’t know enough about electronics/mechanical engineering to figure that on my own. It’s still a really cool project though.

That is really cool. I think there’s ways to get more switches on one port on Arduino but I don’t remember for sure.

Interesting. It’s a start at least.

Already every commercial I hear on the radio is talking about “tariff pricing”.

Can I 3d print something like the g602 mouse? I can solder components together and do a little programming if need be but designing something like that is way over my head. Not being able to find a replacement for that thing is killing me.

But… it’s not the only place to play mario…

As I said I can fill that with ease. Leaving no space for apps. If I have everything on the separate card that is a non issue. Using USB dongles is not a solution. It’s more crap we have to carry around when we already have an ideal method with the SD card. It takes up practically no space and offers great utility for those who need it. It’s not like they’re using the space on the board saved by taking it out to add new features.

My LG V20 is starting to have serious issues running apps I need and I’m really bummed about it :(

SD cards are cheaper than paying for more storage on the phone and easier to manage. I have mine loaded up with my entire music library and game roms for emulation as well as a smaller selection of movies. I spend a lot of time at work in places with little to k ow network so it’s great to have on hand. I could fill the storage on any phone available today but I’d be constantly dealing with space when I wanted to install a new app or take video or whatever. I prefer to keep my media library separate.
