One of the shit thing is that all the games that I’ve bought in the last 5 years all has come into game pass.


Yep, I know a lot of people who would balk at buying games but have no qualms dropping more than 100$ per month on gacha games.


I think the Xbox Ally is able to play the Series’ games. It has a GPU that’s comparable to the Series S.

However, we’re gonna lose the old Xbox games (OG & One) compatibility unless Microsoft bundles an Xbox emulator into Windows.


Nope, Bazzite or SteamOS doesn’t have that functionality.

Here’s a video showing how it works. If they managed to put this on Windows I’d be very tempted.

Mind that this is different from pausing the game. The OS is suspending the game state into the disk, so it’s more similar to emulator snapshots functionality.


I have an Xbox Series S for my little one and Direct Resume is such a nice QoL feature. Having 8 games always ready and only takes 3 seconds to resume even after you turned off and unplug the console is very useful. There’s some games on my handheld PC I didn’t bother playing since launching it can take a long time.


If they implemented Direct Resume I might cave and reinstall Windows on my Ally.


It’s a given when you’re buying a Redmi or Poco you’re basically playing garbage in terms of build quality because their after sales service is a nightmare.


I know a guy who only buys games as last resort but bought all the gooner skins in Rivals.


I respectfully disagree. AMD basically said that they survived the Bulldozer debacle because of Sony and Microsoft ordering their APUs. The custom designs also have trickled down with AMD making iGPU that are desktop levels now (8060S).


I just played around 6 hours of it, but Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 intro made me cry. With everything going on in the world right now the sense of despair is very relatable.


Yep, they should have just put the yearly changes on something like a season pass and timed the major release with the regulation changes to match the simulation engine development.


Institutional knowledge is a real thing and also like you said, the first KSP started as a passion project. There’s a huge difference in terms of pressure and expectation between developing your own passion project compared to developing a sequel of a highly regarded game.


Don’t worry, we’ll find another part that’s going to be broken instead. TBH it already happened to my friend’s Gullikit controller, his shoulder and trigger buttons are already broken, but not his analog stick.


I don’t know why they priced it 60 dollars in the US. But Space Marine 2 has a really generous regional pricing. Converted to USD it’s around 30 bucks to get Space Marine 2 and with the current sale it’s around 22 bucks to get it. At that prices it’s quite worth it in my opinion.



Oof my 3080 12GB + 5800X3D build is basically still pretty good considering all the new releases. I can still play Avowed maxed out 1440p with 60+ FPS with a really good IQ by forcing the transformer DLSS model.


I think in some aspects Bazzite are better than SteamOS. It literally started as an alternative to SteamOS for the Deck.


What CRPGs have level scaling? I think almost every CRPG that I played doesn’t have any level scaling.


Hot take, Michael Kirkbride carried TES lore. Even the interesting parts of Skyrim is based from his writing.



I love their Adventure Path conversion that is basically straight up a single game worth of content per act. Although the way that the way that they implemented the rules is basically like having a DM that is your partner’s ex.


It was surprisingly chill. Hasan was super patient with him though.


Although it’s very dangerous to play the game if you had mental illness history. Playing the game triggered a psychosis episode for my friend who was admitted to a psychiatric hospital.



The ports itself are good. It’s the suits are fucking shit up. Typical capitalism enshittification story.


Been waiting since 2012. Tried some early builds too, will be very excited to play Skywind it releases eventually.



If you treat people better, then how’re you going to be able to get your 5th yacht and your 3rd private jet?


TBF he not finishing MGS5 is more attributed to Konami fuckery.



The thing is, Valve works mostly as a collective with mostly flat structure. So there can’t be a higher up ordering people around to make HL3. The whole team needs to believe in it.


Just hire Kirkbride back goddamnit. I installed Immortals of Aveum and saw that Kirkbride is the main writer and got pumped on the game but that damn thing keeps crashing on me. So I’m back to just playing Diablo or Minecraft for the time being.


It’s all offset by the small screen. Playing Ghost of Tsushima on low-medium graphics coupled with frame gen is chef’s kiss on a handheld.


Just hand over the reins to Obsidian and it’ll be 10x better than what Bethesda can produce.


It might depend on which part of the world they live in. In the West? Not so much. But in a third world country? It might very well be a day’s work wage.


Ahh, reminds me of grinding for reputation so I can get the Cutter and Corvette. I still keep Elite installed and still waiting to get the will to start that game. Odyssey really left a bad taste on my mouth.


CDPR effectively rewrote the campaign after Keanu Reeves told them that he’s game if CDPR wants to record more lines. I still remember the E3 demo where CDPR said that the campaign has been completed and they’re just in the polishing stages.



The bonfire mechanic (meditation spots), enemies respawn every time you rest (meditate), XP that is lost when you die. Hack and slash combat that rewards good dodge and parry timings.

It’s more of a Soulslite because there’s basically a checkpoint for the perk points that is permanent after you get it. There are also difficulty settings in the game that adjust the damage that you receive and the parry window.

This is out of the topic of the Souls element of the game, but I love the realistic combat modifier in NG+ where the battles are much more realistic where you and the enemies will die after getting one or two hits. It’s similar to the Lethal difficulty on Ghost of Tsushima. Made the game much more enjoyable and made you really feel like you’re playing a Kurosawa movie.


I thought the Jedi games are more like souls lite metroidvania games. Scratched that itch for a Star Wars game. From the article it seems that they’re making an FPS. I hope it’s more of a Titanfall 2 main campaign type of game.
