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

Imo its fine if they open source it when they decide to end support. The fact that app has a pristine privacy record is good enough

Thanks, is the crisis core remake or original? Also where does remake intergrade fit in?

Can someone tell me in which order I should play the games? I’m really confused with all the titles

I paid €45 and played for 35 hours. Wanted to play more but waited for the new season, and then just didn’t get to it. I still want to play it though, but i wish i waited for it to come to game pass. When they said “not soon” i didn’t expect it to arrive in 2024.

After some time all the caves are the same though…

I guess if he disabled auto upload captures to Xbox live he wouldn’t have been banned. Microsoft wouldn’t dare ban players for captures they only keep locally.

Still this is a huge fuckup from Microsoft, I hope they reverse this.

Do you have written sources for these? I’d like to educate myself but I can’t stand YouTube videos.

Exactly what actual politicians do!
