Back when I was in my mid 20s, I was big into the car scene and Scion was super hot, specifically the Tc. They had a two page ad in a magazine that looked eerily familiar, was a swamp dragon type creature rising from bottom of the pages, arms spreading out some trees, something like that, I don’t remember the details.

Anyway, I had seen it before, went searching for it and it was found on DeviantArt, nearly identical. Slightly different creature design, but everything else was unmistakable.

I emailed the designer letting him know what I found, he was from Europe, had never heard of Scion and was very confused as why they took his art. I think he was younger, didn’t know what if anything, he could do. But it was clearly stolen. I had bookmarked/saved his art years before I saw the ad, completely unrelated.

This isn’t new at all, and sometimes very hard to prove unfortunately.

Lmao

Fried even

Steam deck - 98% all games, PC, Nintendo, arcade, etc

Switch - Nintendo games only, massive restrictions from an anti consumer company

Same. Possibly getting a second

Preventing me from accessing Nintendo network and store is one thing. Somehow bricking my physical device, that I own? Fuck them

It will come. It’s still in it’s infancy.

Full agree, as someone who owns both. Steam deck is much cooler, opened me up to many games I didnt care to play on PC with a controller. Shredders revenge, lots of side scrollers, etc.

Steam deck and emulation. No new game is that critical, emulators will come out.

It’s 100% worth the mod OR put that money toward a steam deck/Linux handheld. Im actually looking to sell this switch to put towards another steam deck. Sooo many more options and better support, not locked into Nintendo bullshit. Put whatever you want on it (like 95% of games right now, I’ve had very few issues) but did have to learn a bit. Beats the hell out of a locked down ecosystem 100000%.

It won’t access the Nintendo network, can’t use store, etc. not 100% bricked. Sorry

Why downgrade?

Yeah, I got an S23 for $400, upgraded from a 7 year old S9

Similar here. Bricked my kids switch, so we modded it. Now we have ALL the games.

So then if you need multiplayer…

Local games only

Do all emulators support online play though?

I have already boycotted Nintendo, but nice try? I’m on PC and steam deck.

Also a lot of these concerns were not major issues when the switch 1 came out. So I don’t really go off the switch 1 ownership results since Nintendo seems to have done some serious damage to themselves in the past 1-3 years alone.

Children will, from their parents who don’t see these articles or care, just that their kid is entertained… Don’t be an ass.

Krocodil. Not even once.

I just restarted playing fallout 4. Can give that a shot if you can catch it on sale

Grim Dawn was pretty sick too if you like Diablo style games. I was pretty impressed

Just in case no one knows this, you can absolutely play multiplayer in Subnautica 1. Takes a tiny bit of work and a mod, but doable.

Of course it’s not official, and may be bugs, but doable.

I’m curious what is going to be new in 2, thought the water genre had maxed out before doing deep and making it a horror game. Feel like anything else would just be DLC or a mod.

Just got my OLED. Really Love it. Haven’t gotten to switch emulation yet, but SNES and other old stuff works great. Bought some horror games because I only like those on controller setups from the couch, not in a computer chair. Loving it so far.

My favorite part is Decky, just customizing the hell out of it. Really fun and capable device for $500.

Playing BioShock for the first time, gone home, from the darkness, evoland, hollow knight, the messenger. All the side scrollers and games best for controllers. Puppet house is sick. Fire watch is next.

That was almost 3 car payments before I finished paying off the note. Not even close to tempting me with molded plastic toys.

Open room morgue! Lmao

It’s a different game though, inventory, open world. Metro is a decent fps on rails.

If they’re turning billions of dollars in profit each year, there’s no reason to raise the price. Fuck them

I introduced mine to undertale and other stuff like cuphead, old school sonic games and SNES emulators. We dont care about latest Mario’s, but he does have odyssey.

It’s not really cheaper, and I can use my VPN for other things. Torguard with promotional price is $30/year. I got a dedicated IP so I can open ports with it. Used them for almost 7 years, upload about 1TB/day

Nzb and newshosting gets me gig speeds too

Well I’m making myself a deal, starting today, no more gas station trips for soda. If I can make it the month and start riding my bike again, I’m getting a steam deck.

And will emulate the fuck out of switch games. Kiddo already has a hacked switch.

$1-10 now is preparation for the future

Games are digital, much less production costs. Widely distributed, far greater than 20-30 years ago. Efficiency has gone up ten fold with modern tech. Nintendo still makes billions in profit each year, don’t play the “they deserve more money for their work” bullshit.

Damn man, you brought some serious attitude here. Take a fucking walk.

He asked a legit question. You didn’t say “PC”, you said steam specifically. Why does the launcher matter?

Seriously. It’s tried and true.

There’s a hundred different versions of amazing Mario and Zelda games that you can play already with emulators and on an old switch/computer/steamdeck. Wait till the new one is emulated, don’t enable Nintendo to do this shit.

Not always, but yes.

This household will be migrating to steamdeck or equivalent. We’ve invested too much into PC games and moving our main desktops to Linux, it only seems right. I’m tired of supporting companies that don’t care about us, only our money, and even then slap you when you’re not looking.

Yup! Not all, but most. Some with high levels of cheaters block family sharing, like RUST

Only recently has steam gotten better at this. I’ve got my account, my kids account, and a 3rd account that owns games we may want to play, so that it doesn’t tie up either of our main accounts or if we want to have a guest use it. (all are shared to each other). Until last year, it was not super easy sharing them all, lots of logins, authorizations, etc.
