Yeah I pulled the trigger on the last sale. It’s the only game I own on Epic. I did have to use Heroic launcher to get it to cloud sync though, not surprising.

But it’s worth it. The game is a masterpiece in so many ways. I wish they didn’t have to rely on Epic to fund the game, but that’s the nature of the beast.


Oh that’s really cool! I’ve been watching his YouTube content off and on for what feels like years at this point. Hope he has fun.


Google is adding a new app to company-managed Pixel phones, which allows IT admins to see all the RCS messages sent and received on specific devices.

Honestly I thought this was a thing already. Never assume that your company owned phone is private, never ever access your personal account on your work device.



Of course epic doesn’t understand empowering consumers with information. They don’t care about consumers. If they did, they’d maybe try adding some long requested features to their storefront.


You also learned some valuable PC navigation and troubleshooting skills in the process of adding the skin to your game.

Kids today: why wouldn’t I spend $20 to be able to dance the running-man as Goku in Fortnite?


I’m waiting for the montage clip of Geoff just saying “Clair Obscure expedition 33” & “Death Stranding 2 On the Beach” over and over and over.

Those two freaking dominated.


They mention also wanting to run games on it locally with SteamOS. Plus it’s a beefy ARM processor. They coulda saved quite a bit with a lower end processor if it was gonna be solely wireless steaming.


I posted this in the other thread, but wanna share here too:

Most interesting thing to me is the Frame apparently runs a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, and is using SteamOS, implying official ARM support for SteamOS, Steam and Proton! Could mean steam and proton coming to android too.

Pro fold.

The pro can’t bend in half like this (I hope.)



Of course it was in the US. Europe actually has consumer protections.


The horny vending machine killed it for me.


And the backpedaling begins.

Don’t believe them. I’ve been told I’ve been grandfathered into legacy pricing on multiple occasions by multiple companies only to have every single one of them force me off old pricing. This’ll be no different. You might get a few months. If you’re lucky, you’ll get a year. But it’ll go away eventually.


Yes yes yes.

Just went through the whole series the other month. Still holds up surprisingly well.


Works well on my little bazzite machine. Loads hella fast now.


This is an important tidbit. Thank you all for working through that and saving me a future headache.







Not just Gen Z lol. People don’t have money, games are a luxury, luxuries are the first to go when you need to stretch your cash. Not that complicated.


Microsoft stopped releasing console sales numbers over a decade ago. Tough to say how they’re performing in hardware. But it’s also safe to say that they wouldn’t hide the number if it was good. But they don’t care about hardware anymore. It’s all about the subscription now.

I’m curious how that subscription value is gonna look in a few years now that Microsoft has cancelled basically everything and fired a ton of talent. How do you sell a subscription when you have no exclusive content for said subscription?

How do you convince third party AAA studios to put their game on a subscription service where they know they’ll make less money? Aside from buying the studio, that is.

Why would someone want to pay monthly, indefinitely, for access to some games? You’re not gonna have time to play everything. And if you pick one game and play it endlessly, it’s a better value to just own the game outright. I only see the subscription model working for casual gamers, which are the exact kind of people who have no issues dropping a recurring expense if they aren’t getting their money’s worth. Sign up for a month here or there, play the new release, drop the subscription, rinse and repeat.

On the flip side, you’ve also effectively devalued your games to the people who would have paid full price. Why pay $70 for Doom or Indiana jones when I know I can pay like $15 for a month and beat them both, and unsubscribe till the next game comes out. I’ll either temporarily subscribe or wait for a steep discount.

Microsoft is bad for gaming as a whole.



It can be done right. Like a dragon infinite wealth has a vtuber character as part of its story line, they use the account to spread lies about the main character and part of the story is trying to figure out who controls the channel.

But yeah, I don’t see most games doing it that way lol



Is it just me or is it a bit disingenuous to call a 1/6 scale action figure a statue?


Well yeah. That’s what happens when you don’t bother to fix your poorly performing game.


I slept on the dead rising series until the remake came out. Then I picked up the original, 2, and off the record stupid cheap. Had a blast going through them all!

All of them are fantastic games and it’s such a shame they killed the whole series with the 3rd game.


Milk the smaller and smaller base for more and more.

Sounds like Cable TV.


Payment platforms have problems with incest and furry content from the looks of that list.




I was under the impression they pulled this shortly after launch. Did it come back at some point?


Psychonauts. I’m upset I slept on this game for so long. It’s very charming.
