I usually look at it from cost per hour perspective. Tears of the Kingdom was 70 but I played it for ~140 hours, so 0.5 per hour. I’m ok with 1 per hour too but anything higher I start to ask myself “is the developer / publisher worth my support?”. Not all games can be judged by this metric though (eg outer wilds, unpacking)

So far, nothing beats the value of factorio. Mindustry (being so cheap) is a close second.

How come 1984 is before photocopiers?

I saw it due to the IGN article and thinking of getting one for a 5yo. I wouldn’t think about it for someone above 8 though, if they can hold a controller there are very high quality games.

I think its an amazing game, I wish I had the time

I tried to get into this game but after seeing how deep the mechanics go I gave up. It’s not like Rimworld where you can enjoy the game without grasping all the mechanics, zomboid requires you to invest in it to actually enjoy it, which I’ve lacked the time for.

It does! Verge reports that battery pops out like old cellphone batteries

I’d argue it is resistant. Lemmy is federated, which means smaller instances, making it easier to detect this kind of activity. Crime in a city vs crime in a town situation

I have a huge backlog, both in steam and physical, so no, thanks….

Ah, so do you fight it where the flea caravan moves to if you haven’t moved it when you arrived at that area?

I haven’t seen moorwing but I’m currently fighting bellhart boss. Spoiler free, can you guide me to it? I’ve been all around birds area.

This just shows execs do not understand why piracy diminished

I’ve tried getting into hyper light drifter but quickly got lost. Do you have any tips?

Better than Sony. I still don’t know whether its XMF or WMF or WMH…5000

Ubisoft for me. I like their open world stuff contrary to popular opinion

There was a billionaire, CEO to multiple companies, arguing that he’s one of the best in one of the most grindiest games…

I haven’t played a single game I bought from last summer sale ¯_(ツ)_/¯

It’s worse than alcohol but better than heroin

It’s already the cheapest game per minute played

Have been for a while. Thank god indie game devs.

Inflation near zero and salaries increase -> purchasing power increasing, which is something we can only dream about

Do buy great indie games at full price to support indie devs even more (stardew, Balatro, dead cells, hollow knight, terraria, rimworld….)

One you can spend at least 40 enjoyable hours on, I’d say

Also the greed. Charging for the virtual tour game (however cheap it may be), charging for performance updates to existing games (not extra content, only performance). Switch 1 games should just run better on the new console by default.

I’m not even sure hw is fairly priced. They’re able to sell the same thing in Japan for 100$ cheaper. I don’t think they’re losing money there.

By raw numbers I have around 500 games on steam and there’s a huge sale every 3-4 months. Deck is also a pretty capable computer and runs Linux. Deck can run games from many platforms, not just steam.

I agree with the first but not the second.

…why?

Beauty of actual competition, I have around 100 games I got from epic games store for free. Beauty of open systems, I can play 99% of them on my deck.

Ooooh but this makes some sense though, it just becomes a post apocalyptic world then

Credit where it’s due, switch is pretty durable except joy-cons, and they are pretty easy to repair yourself

I haven’t played any game I bought last autumn sale ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Good points, you made clear this is no black/white case, it depends on how much we can trust cloudflare. It’s a US based for-profit company so the answer is “not much”.

However, if you check the link, you’ll see that they’re able to distinguish AI bot scrapping from other forms of scrapping. They also give the website owners a choice, so if it’s about principles, owners can choose to boycott, as most are already doing with robots.txt, which AI bros have no respect for.

Cloudflare does not benefit from a handful of websites getting all the traffic, and their track record is good so far. They also don’t profit from people visiting websites with a browser, they don’t show/own ads. To me, they have enough credit for me to believe they can protect open web.

We’ll see how this take ages though. I still won’t put all my eggs in a single basket.

“We can scrape open internet” is such a CEO take. I’m no fan of Cloudflare but what they’re doing here is good for open web and bad for AI bros

This. To make the claim in the title is to not get what steam deck is about.

Ball mice is better than laser mice since you can take out the ball and play with it

It gets stale after some time though, unlike rimworld in which each playthrough is a unique story

I think you can say the same for nearly all social platforms in the new age of internet. “influencers” generate “content” for their “followers”

Still windows

So… stadia?

I can’t bring myself to spend 200$ on it, no matter how many praises I read. It doesn’t matter that they’re including 20 games, they’re all pretty short and switch lite costs 200$. I believe I’d buy one around 100$, if I ever see a 2nd hand for that price
