I’ve used it on a Redmi Note 8 for 2 years, and am using it on a Samsung Tablet. I never had any issue.

Halo Reach was an awesome game, and so was Halo 3: ODST.

My question is that is this a USA only thing? Or is it practised in other nations as well?

Is carrier locking an America-only thing? I have never seen this in India, and have never heard of this in any European country either.

There is no objective answer to that. Maybe tell us your needs, use case.

Both of them aren’t good enough for privacy use cases. Using something like Universal Android Debloater is recommended.

If possible, buy a used device on which you can install official LineageOS.

I really, really want Ubisoft to redeem themselves with this release. But I know they won’t.

For a moment I thought this was Bad Guys at School.

Okay, say that they have released an addon for Blender for modders. Because Blender is under the GNU GPL the addon they release has to be at the very least compatible with the GPL and therefor it should be Free Software. They wouldn’t care. I mean if people can make mods, and improve the addon, it will be easier for them themselves to use it to make assets and everybody benefits. Typical “open source” mindset. And guess what? They did exactly this. Their Blender Addon is under a GPL compatible license ( MIT ). So okay, they at least developed one Free Software thing.

But if you look into it more deeply you will find more interesting things. For example, there is a Free Software python API to drive a special variant of BeamNG called BeamNG Tech. Which is for professional use. Yeah, well… This python thing still requires the proprietary BeamNG tech to be installed. But still. Here is another technically Free Software thing that they developed.

Then if you look even deeper, you will notice that they switched a game engine sometime in the early days of the game. First they used Cry Engine. Which is very proprietary and probably very costly. And then they chose to use a Free Software game engine called Torque 3D instead.

So they are building the game with Free Software on a Free Software game engine for which they built Free Software tools. And yet the game is still proprietary. Even though, as I already said, it feels more like what a Free Software game feels, with community collaboration and an insane level of customize-ability.

Applying this theory means , almost every software that has ever existed is free and open source.

I have played Astro’s Playroom, and it is fun, especially the boss fights.

Valhalla base game + ragnarok took me over 80 hours. Amd I didn’t do most of the side stuff. Mirage was about 20-25 hours, iirc.

Yay?

You should try playing Vice City on a PS2 emulator. Connect your emulator with retroachievements.org and try to get all the achievements. If you can find a legit PS2 copy, it won’t be piracy.

I understand that they are pro-developers, like, they only tale 15% of the sales etc. But why are they anti-consumers?

I use Heroic Games Launcher on Nobara Linux and my experience is more seamless than buying and installing games from Steam. I don’t have to bother with Epic Games Launcher, I just download a game and run via proton or wine.

I thought I was the only one!

I am using NetherSX2 on my Android devices. NetherSX2 is a modified version of AetherSX2 with no ads and many improvements.

Also, I think it is the only PS2 emulator supporting retroachievements.

Sorry, someone already claimed it.

No, sorry. I JUST gave it away.

Not yet. DM me and I’ll send you the key.

Please DM.

Someone already asked for it, sorry.

Pretty sure you won’t get stable 60fps at 4K even with a 4080.

Are you enjoying this game? Do you think it is as good as the reviews?

Personally, I didn’t like the story or the gameplay that much, especially when compared to Uncharted 3, or even 1 and 2. The puzzles were so easy, and the game felt so repetitive. I would say more, but I do not wish to spoil it for you.

It’s a good game, just not as good as the ratings, in my opinion.

I think it belonged to Sony. Death Stranding just got released on Xbox as well.

What do you mean?

I think when kids will start doing it in public, the original symbol will lose its significance.

The best thing about this game is that it can be played in splitscreen.

Are the stories related in the campaigns? Or are they stand alone like Battlefield games?

Is it really that good?

Also, If I have never played any CoD, how and where should I start?

I had very high hopes for this.

I don’t know about M series, but I gamed a lot on my Intel i5 MacBook Air.

It looked like Death Stranding, at the first glance.

This will be a second person game, right?

I have heard about simplewall and Portmaster.

You should look into OpenSnitch. It is a kind of firewall that does not let any application connect to specific domains. It can tell you if a suspicious app is sending your data somewhere.
