Yep they discovered they can use psychology against us just like the gambling industry does

I could not agree more but honesty others should just make new IP im so sick of IP recycling. We never move forward if we keep recycling the past. AAA is just a zombified corpse just shambling around altogether. The Indian double a space are the new AAA.

Toys R Us anyone?

FF6, bubble bobble for the Nes, Master Blaster

I played but seem a little out of step. What are triple portals?

I think their logic is for side by side comparison with the same hardware since no GPU and CPU are the same. Having the same hardware gives you the best comparison but yeah two separate drives would be a must. But they are new and don’t realise yet how much of a dick Microsoft is yet like we have.

change.org is worthless call the CC companies directly

yeah i used the files and got Starfleet Academy runnings on my steam deck.

installed from disc starfleet academy and mechwarrior 2 last week with lutrus.

Rachel: There’s no way we can link the gun to Maroni, so we won’t be able to charge him with anything, but the fact that they’re trying to kill you means that we’re getting to them.

the only good thing i trust an LLM to do is build a official looking document from 5 or 6 bullet points i give it. Even then im going to proof read it a few times just to make sure it didn’t add anything stupid.

yeah the mudding of the term indie is also a problem. indie should be used for independent privately owned studios. the “indies” made by big public company’s should be called something else. as all they are smaller games not independent games. like BG3 is a indie game but it’s not a small game at all.

honestly think the term indie for smaller games was created by the big public company’s as a way of keeping indies in their lane. they want them as the farm league feeding them ip and innovation. but not get too big to usurp them.

its not even the money the games make its the perception of what they could make and meeting invester expectations. thats how you get tango gameworks doing a good job and still thrown out on their asses.

i think the larger question about Indies is not how big they get its if they are private or public and i count private equity as public with a different name. the people making the game as in getting their hands dirty in the day to day of making games need to own 51% of the company’s stock and the value of that stock is influenced by investment speculation.

they need to make their money by selling the product they make not the shell game of jucing books for investors.

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.
