yep i didn’t say he was normal just that would he his equivalent to a normal person going to the gym

so no different then normal people go to the gym on their lunch break. scuba is just a different kind of workout

I love everything about the ultimate pro 2 but the ergo. Sn30pro2 is my go to but miss the dock and back buttons. So this might be what I have been looking for

I believe there is an anime about this

Elite Dangerous and i also love old school mechwarrior 2

It seems like a ignorant take. It’s FOMO but instead of a missing out on a loot box or a silly cosmetic for a high price. It’s about missing out on the sale for a low price.

It’s also people can see they are in the grow phase of the Enshittification life cycle. Once they control the market they make the terms and by that point you won’t have a choice. This goes for consumers and developers.

It’s almost like government was made to create and enforce those guardrails.

Yeah just the choices that fucks over paying customers. They are saying they would like to keep doing that and this laws would curtail that.

Will someone think of the poor shareholders? /s

“We don’t drink Alcohol so we can skip pubs.” The author telling me they have never been to a pub without telling me they have never been to a pub.

Yeah you can’t remake your game in QA

Yep the problem is that’s what shareholders expect so the CEO has to say it. If he doesn’t say it share price goes down. Investors are a bunch of vapid idiots thank goodness Valve is private.

Their deck performance viewer is just MangoHub with a custom config. I think this is different since it works on windows.

This is cool that Jeff did anything at all but it would go a long way if he used his main channel with a larger reach.

I don’t see it happening, ubuntu tried and backed out last second years ago. Project mangers just get fussy about putting in resources they don’t directly see the use of. It’s like that new manger you get that thinks they should remove all these processes as they don’t see the use with them. Then slowly as they learn the hard way add all of them back.

It doesn’t need to be always for sale to be preserved my copy is still there and it’s still playable. It’s only lost of those that paid for it can’t play it.

And that’s fine they told their story. I can’t wait what the next story Larian tells.

I agree on GoG, buying physical only gets you the broken unpatched game they shipped. Steam i feel okay with since they are a private company and not all their games are DRMed and it’s clearly marked if they are.

It’s more the trend of i have seen in the tech space of a deal too good to be true. A tech company taking a loss to gain marketshare and drive out competition on price or flat out buy them then when they have cornered the market drive up the price for insane profits and customers have no choice because you effectively become the platform.

Yeah I agree with you on thinking of it as a new game fly. The problem I have is MS’s plan is to make gamers comfortable with only renting games by making it cheap then when there is no other option. They jack up the price.

You will own nothing and love it

Gog

Also think about the fact that I can’t pop down to the local big box store and buy a steam deck. I have to know what steam is. Sign up for steam then buy a steam deck. The audience demographics are completely different for the most part. Also what kind of steam deck ads have you seen.

I got it for free

I hear you and if you keep up with the free games from gog epic and prime gaming giveaways. It never stops growing.

Yeah i have 4 categories in steam

• Beaten - games I have completed
• want to complete - my real backlog
• can never complete - for games that don’t have a real end like mmos or multi-player only games.
• Dead Games - for games that no longer work anymore because the publisher shut down the servers. This is a reminder to not buy these kind of games in the future.

I also add non steam games like Playstation and Switch games as shortcuts to a desktop files named after the game that point to nothing. Then add it to the categories to track.

More support for all controls means better accessibility is always a good thing

To answer your question yeah everything else is everything not going with coffee stain. From other sources I read coffee stain is spinning out and going independent and embracer is getting stock. So I expect an IPO soon.

If I’m reading this right it sounds that coffee stain Studios is being left alone for now. It’s just everything else that looks fucked.

I didn’t say they could but they will attempt

This is the embrace phase you have been warned

Don’t even get me started with battle pass. I always make fun of my friends that wear the battle pass gear. I ask them if they get that from the debit card quest.

I also don’t get the concept of cosmetics in single player games. Like why who is going to see that?

Just to clarify one thing while i agree with you on some stuff this is not a remake it’s a remaster. the OG game engine is running underneath and UE5 for just the updated models and terrain. The fact they are charging so much for it is what kills me. What this should have been is a $30 game of the year edition and maybe an discount or a free upgrade of you owned the original like they did with doom and quake remasters that nightdive did.

Well one does and it’s valve and they make a lot of money by selling those games at good prices.

That’s a point I didn’t even think of my sticks were not as smooth bought new ones opened up the back of the unit and about 30 mins of work had them swapped out and calibrated. Try doing that on joycon drift.

They can play by play all the they want but at the end of the day. I can play games I brought back in 1997 on my steam deck they can barely handle going back one generation to the switch and have to use emulation and a subscription service for a handful of their older systems.

I went from CD of star fleet academy i had in a storage box to a SD card to the steam deck. Installed and running the longest part was setting the key binds in steam input.

Im sorry BG3 is triple A in quality they are indie since they published their own games not cause they are small or low quality. Indie just gets thrown around as most are solo devs. With digital distribution less indies have to sell out to work with big publishers to get on consoles. Honestly it’s why I think AAA publishers are dying they can no longer just buy the smaller fish.

Hell EA is doing good now in some ways like open sourcing the command and conquer games. Maybe they got rid of their Shit executives to Ubisoft and Nintendo.

Kinda expected when you pull an CEO from EA

Yeah we need more people like second wind to go independent it just sucks there is less money going around for investigation journalism to happen.
