Fucking Hitman, man. It’s not only confusing, it’s bullshit. I had Hitman 1 and 2 and there’s a process to transfer them into Hitman 3 so that you only buy the Hitman 3 content so I tried it and… it failed. It just did. No error or anything, it just didn’t transfer shit. I tried again and it gave me an error saying I couldn’t transfer Hitman 1 and 2 more than once. Fucking Square Enix (or was it IO?).

I’m not really trying to defend anything, though

Except they’re not. Most people like them and agree that they do add to the overall enjoyment of the game. Hell, I loved that part in the DLC when you fight two of them. It’s literally just a couple of people who are mad about them. So, yeah, git gud.

Congratulations?

Nope. The fact that everyone but like 4 people loves them makes them good game design.

They did learn a lot from Eternal. Mainly that people loved it and people complaining about the Marauders just need to git gud.

Troubleshooting Simulator. Hopefully, Far Cry 3 a couple of hours from now.

Edit: For anyone else who is having issues with the UPlay version of Far Cry 3 and hopes to find a sliver of hope here: I utterly failed. The game refuses to work. I even tried dxvk and vgvoodoo. The only “solution” I found (short of just buying the Steam version) is running it on integrated graphics (780M).

Let’s preface by making clear that when I say Lemmings are disconnected from reality, I don’t mean they’re delusional. I mean they’re so immersed in their unix-like free-as-in-freedom open-source technobubble that they’ve forgotten what regular people want.

As for the rest of your comment, yes, every social media will attract its own niche of people but not every platform is equally as disconnected from the real world. For example, nobody in Fragrantica (perfume social media) would recommend a regular person to buy a perfume that smells like cocaine and magazines, even though its one of the most popular fragrances among people who like perfumes. Meanwhile, on Lemmy, people love to pretend the SteamDeck is an actual alternative to the Switch.

Obligatory xkcd.

Every comment you guys make just cements how disconnected from reality you really are. There’s also cheap games for the Switch.

Nope, you’re disconnected from the real world because you don’t understand the average user doesn’t care about specs they can’t see. You walking back your words now doesn’t mean you didn’t say them. Nobody is putting anything in your mouth.

blablabla specs-wise

See? This is what I mean by disconnected from the real world. Next you’re gonna tell me how open source allows you to unlock the full potential of the Steamdeck’s hardware.

Nothing I’ve said is untrue, the relevant top comment is pure speculation at best.

Brother, you literally said the Switch 2 is not gonna be around 350 USD. You have exactly as much evidence of that as the relevant top comment has that it will be. The difference is that only your comment was serious.

AAAAAH. WAAAT. NO. DON’T PLAY ON THE TOILET. COME ON, GUYS.

The base SteamDeck doesn’t have an OLED screen and is still more expensive than the Switch OLED. As for the price of the Switch 2, it’s a well-known and documented practice that console manufacturers sell them at a loss and make back the profits in games. If anything, you’re the one spewing misinformation.

That’s a rumor. All we know is that they talked with the dev behind closed doors and he deleted everything related to Ryujinx afterwards. Sure, they could have paid him but it’s just as likely that they just threatened him. Let’s not forget how Nintendo made its money.

A very strong case could be made that dumping your keys and your games is not bypassing encryption.

Not sure why this is getting down votes

Because Lemmings are completely disconnected from the real world.

Probably a good idea but I hate switching distros and generally try to avoid it until I break the one I’m using and then I go all in. I have a bunch of backups so it should be fine.

Other than SteamOS on my SteamDeck, no but I was considering making the switch to Kinoite.

I don’t think they mean necessarily handhelds but definitely console-like machines. Like the OG steam machines.

I actually like immutable OSes exactly because most people do have a habit of blowing up their computers.

Ever. It’s not a desktop OS.

Make the switch to Linux, by all means but I don’t think you should use SteamOS as a desktop OS.

Windows 11 is to Windows 10 what XP was to 2000. Stop it.

8BitDo Ultimate but make sure you buy the Nintendo Switch version because it’s the only one with gyro. You could also just buy a DualSense.

Was there a chance that they would?

Hats off to you for being brave enough to play Dragon Age on a handheld, sir.

Mad Max. I’ve only played for like an hour but it’s been pretty good so far. Reminds me a lot to the Arkham games. I think GOG has it on sale for another 20 minutes. (10 am pacific).

lol. I hate when companies try to gamify a game.

as long as you plan to give a comparable offer to Steam customers within a reasonable amount of time.

Do you just not read?

So I was wrong about that one, the point still stands, specially because key resellers are also affected by Valve’s policy. Why are you being so intentionally obtuse?

Are you intentionally missing the point? Legitimate or not, it’s a 3rd party seller that can’t offer the same protections an official store where the dev chooses to list the game does. Just to name an example, if you even see a key from Humble Bundle, you lose the right to refund. If not for Valve’s predatory policies, you could just buy the game at a lower price from Epic and enjoy the exact same refund policy that Steam has.

Price fixing is extremely anti-consumer. They’re not ensuring the price is lower on Steam, they’re ensuring that it’s higher everywhere else. Having a higher price than competing stores doesn’t have to steer people away from your own if you offer a better service but Valve isn’t willing to do that so they screw the consumer instead.

The store offers the downloads on the links you provided, that’s not the point. The point is that if I, as a consumer, want to get a game cheaper than it’s listed in Steam, I have to find a reseller to sell me a key that might not work or even get me banned (see G2A) and has none of the protections that come with buying from an official store. If not for Valve’s anti-consumer policy, I could just go to Epic and buy it cheaper there because they take a smaller cut.

Ah, blame shifting. I don’t know why I expected anything else. The same laptop was working fine before the update so this is definitely a Fedora issue. Anyway, the point is that nobody ever said anything about Windows being more reliable, dude just thinks liking an OS over another is a personality.

As a side note, have you checked the process to get a PR accepted into Fedora? Nobody has any chance to fix anything in Fedora any more than they do in Windows.

I’m saying if they didn’t have their predatory anti-consumer policy and a developer tries to list a game for a much higher price on Steam than they do on other stores, they would remove the game from the store and probably ban the developer. It has nothing to do with removing access to user’s games from their library.

Those are 3rd party resellers. How many times can one man miss the same point?

I think you confused “[a developer] would have their game removed” with Steam removing games from people’s libraries. Nobody is talking about that.

Steam also reserves the right to remove a game for any reason. If a developer does that they would have their game removed and probably receive a ban. There’s no reason for that policy other than price fixing to keep consumers from making an informed decision. Stop defending the multibillion dollar company.

No, they’re listing them on Steam and then 3rd parties are reselling the keys. Devs still can’t list their games on other stores at a lower price. This is the 3rd time I say this, let’s see if you get it this time.

No, I said Valve forbids devs from listing games for cheaper on other stores. If other stores are selling STEAM KEYS, they are not listed on other stores and Steam still gets a cut. Do learn to read.
