You can also not whine when people mention it. FYI.

Also, if they said “googles” or “ddgs” I doubt you would have complained. They don’t use either of those presumably.

Did you read the article

Sadly it’s on Twitter.

That’s not how it works, but ok

I don’t have a list. Just considering that MS patents EVERYTHING I have a tough time believing they don’t have patents over DirectX things that Wine has created an implementation for, etc.

Right, they clearly don’t believe it has been worth the effort in the past. At a certain point I’ve always worried that they might.

They likely have patents on a number of things implemented in Wine/Proton. Clean-room implementation is also good, buy would cover copyright, not patent.

They mean by percentage, for one thing. And new games come out all the time.

At what point does Microsoft start suing over patents?

OK, the cacodemons got me.

Welp. I was thinkingabout buying a game from them about an hour ago. Definitely won’t now.

Does look neat

Hadn’t heard of it at all. I just skimmed a walkthrough video. It doesn’t seem bad, but I don’t play a lot of F/3PS. What makes it a “limp puppet corpse”?

(Will go look for some of the reviews though).

Yes

Steam Deck is as easy as any console, at least

I guess it depends on whether the app embeds the default browser or is hardcoded to use webview. I don’t know many apps that will trigger a load of random sites that do the latter, though.

Not if you have your default browser set to Firefox

But they lost money

I don’t say it often, but iove these posts.

There’s a special edition for $730+tax so maybe they mean that.

But starts at $380, less for return.

Why do you suspect this is good?

Aha there it is

☹️

Consumer Bankers of America??

California Board of Accountancy?

Continental Basketball Association?

Collective Bargaining Agreement?

Chicago Bagel Authority?

Especially if they’re the ones footing the bill.

Additional TL;DW(but should): they also connect to EVERYTHING and how it was done is actually really impressive.

But I did

No, I don’t remember that at all.

Some did. Some didn’t.

There’s a couple, but this one in particular:

It actually is the game that gave me the biggest jump scare of any game I’ve ever played, too. Which is really really weird.

Myst 3 and 4 are my favorites in the series, personally. Especially 3.

Also, what is Myst 6…?

Is that what the situation is? I think that’s also only the case on 4k with brutal mode enabled or whatever.

Obviously that’s still not great if so, but I’d still put it in the eyeroll category personally. I don’t really feel butthurt if I have to run at 1080p or enable vlss or not get 120fps or whatever, especially on day 1 for a game.

But I come from an era where there were games you had to shrink some 3d games lower than 320x200 to get a playable 10fps, so I’m also probably feeling some “back in my day we walked uphill both ways - kids today” energy here. What do I know.

Is it really that bad?

I’m not much of a fan of the series, but the complaints I’m seeing are in the “I only get 30fps instead of 60fps on ultra!” kinds of things that make me roll my eyes super hard

No one agrees with you

I read this comment in 2015.

Glacially is OVERstating how much and how quickly.

Especially compared to their original predictions.

I remember hearing this joke in 2020.

Do you feel like it’s a large % of the people who would buy this game?

I know completionists exist, although I know like 1 personally.

Do many people really care about achievements?

Originally I was assumeling only PC, I keep forgetting things like PlayStation even exist :)

Edit: oh, now I realize what I said that was so dumb. So that’s 2 dumbs. Go me!
