I picked up Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered, I think that’s really all I’m going to pickup honestly. Already have a fair bit in my backlog, and there’s nothing else in my wishlist that makes me go “I want to play that right now” that can’t just wait for another sale.

All I wanted them to change was the fact that the installer for the game in 2020 would download then decompress one file at a time, so it took forever for the game to install (on top of the fact that it uses an in-game installer in the first place).

I don’t have the new version, but based on what I’ve been reading they sure curled the monkey paw this time.

I thought this was a limitation on the carrier you used, rather than the brand of phone? While I’ve not used any Samsung phones (well, none that ran Android), I’ve gone through various carriers and some of them have supported VVM in the Google Phone app, and others don’t seem to.

Jeez, no wonder Infinite has always had such a bad reputation then!

As far as I recall, Infinite has had online co-op, just not local/split screen co-op.

But don’t quote me on that!

Ah gotcha, fair enough!

Just in case you (or anyone else) weren’t aware, Rocket League can still be played perfectly on Linux via Steam by just force enabling Proton - however nonetheless I 100% agree.

Destiny definitely isn’t in its greatest state right now (and honestly, hasn’t been in a while).

The answer to why they haven’t “ended it yet” is: Because it still makes them money.

Realistically though, if you look at any big discussion for a game you’ll always find people who dislike it (because they tend to be louder than the people who are spending their time playing the game instead).

They’re only just now cancelling that ridiculous fee? I swear I thought they cancelled that dumb idea a bit ago.

You’ve opened a door that you cannot close, Unity.

In 8 years I could probably get get a double masters in programming and game development and make a better game myself.

Please do ping me with the link to the game on Steam once it’s done 👍

It previously showed a controller icon next to your name if you were either playing on Steam Deck or in Big Picture Mode - now there’s a separate icon for the Steam Deck rather than both using the same controller icon

What an end of an era!

As strange as it may sound, my favorite controller so far has been my Google Stadia controller. It feels very sturdy and has a nice finish - and I can hold it for hours without my hands cramping up.

Also a big fan of the fact that it charges over USB-C, and that it works perfectly for me over both Bluetooth and wired.

However, I haven’t had too many controllers in the past (Nintendo’s controllers - GameCube, Wii, Switch Joycon/Pro, the Xbox 360/One, and the DualShock 3), so that could be part of it. I don’t know, I just haven’t had any complaints with it as of yet.

I’m in a similar boat, however I was very disappointed to see that in order to enable developer mode you have to make/sign in with a Meta account and “register” as a developer with them.

I haven’t had much sleep today so maybe its just me, but I’m a bit confused here:

Valve isn’t obligated to continue supporting all its games and software features on Mac, especially when Apple’s reluctance to natively support Vulkan and other cross-platform technologies makes game development more complex.

Then the next sentence:

There’s no excuse for Steam on Mac to be a far worse experience than on other platforms, though.

As others have mentioned, Apple was the one who chose to abandon x86 and go with ARM - and anyways are there any games that are on Steam that actually are ARM native? You would still end up having to launch a game that is x86 as far as I understand correctly (I haven’t used a Mac since the Apple Silicon transition)?

I wonder, did they change the defaults at some point? Mine was already bound to the arrow keys, I never had to explicitly set that.

Does your BIOS have “Enable Resizable Bar” and “Above 4G Decoding” options? Both of those were off on mine, and I had the same problem until I flipped those on.

I’ve been trying to get into the Borderlands games, since surprisingly I’ve never played them (though I’ve played games that my friends have told me are “spiritual successors” to the BL games, such as Destiny). Though, I am getting stuck at the first bosses for BL1 and 2 haha.

I thought that was taken down by Valve (for supposedly using a proprietary Nintendo library), not Nintendo themselves?

A bit of a difference here. From what I recall, a VAC Ban only affects games that actually use Valve’s Anti Cheat, hence the name, which is not so popular anymore as far as I know. And they’re supposed to only affect that game individually (but since they’re public, other game/server owners can decide to ban you too).

Getting an Xbox Live or PSN ban will prevent you from playing any game that relies on the respective service’s network (which they enforce for any game that has online multiplayer in it).

This will depend on the Linux distro, some of the installers make it very clear which drive the bootloader will go to, and others won’t - more so in the case of BIOS/MBR based systems.

Systems that use UEFI should only have a bootloader where the /boot partition (which should have the partition type “ESP”, generally labeled in the installer) - however during the installation of this it may modify your PC’s boot order to try to boot from this first. Both legacy BIOS and UEFI systems should have a way to change the boot priority however, so that this won’t be a problem.

Sadly it’s a bit hard to be specific since every distro’s installer is different, and I haven’t used Linux Mint in 8+ years to know what their installer’s behavior is.
