i’m still not sure you’ve read that page

huge laugh from the audience

turns out if you skew definitions enough, anything can be the truth!

so it’s >1 year that you get telepathy?

e: this is my last reply, this has been fun tho! please continue to exhibit this same 100% self-assurance in other threads, i tend to make a habit of talking to brick walls for funsies ^^

i just think you’re assuming a lot from a few comments here.

e:like the line of thinking here, if i’m following, is that since he likes steam he’s JUST LIKE elon musk simps. that’s legitimately crazy.

if they felt the need to correct you, then your explanation of why they were wrong in doing so isn’t gonna tell me anything other than how stubborn you are.

i’m unsure of who you’re trying to convince what at this point.

i had no idea anarchist and libertarian were synonyms, TIL

i reckon the disconnect came around the initial labeling. you GOTTA understand it’s not apolitical to call someone a libertarian in your opening line, right?

also you’re literally putting someone in a box as an opener. folks generally don’t like that.

like if this reply started with “par for the course for a centrist”, you wouldn’t think i’m a cool and understanding guy for saying it.

par for the course for libertarians.

golly i didn’t realize identity politics had such a large role in console preferences, TIL

i learned about crosscode recently, and i could tell from just a few gameplay snippets that it’s a game i’ll spend a lot of time with. at full price it was only $20, and i’m more than happy to support the devs.

their next game, alabaster dawn, looks really nice so far too.

omfg blueglass BETTER play this at GDQ. i miss him so much.

i’m blown away that the switch 2 is so beefy. nintendo has been the “lower spec consoles but AMAZING first party games” company for as long as i can remember.

not useful to you ≠ totally useless

your definition of “runs like shit” could mean anything. i personally consider anything lower than like 40fps to be terrible, but i also know steam deck owners who cap it at 30 and have no problems whatsoever.

if a game runs with no slowdown at a solid fps rate that people do specifically target for this system, obviously it’s not gonna be my cup of tea @30 but i can’t say it doesn’t work.

also “unverified” literally just means “we don’t have enough/any reports”. i have no earthly idea why the existence of working-unverified games could be a bad thing.

this is the worst way to find out my favorite game had a scummy dev the whole time lmao

there’s reviews from February that say you can still find populated servers, but that might be region dependant and you almost certainly won’t have a choice for gamemode.

guess we’re both just waiting for the next next good battlefield game 🙃

BattleBit Remastered is legitimately the tightest battlefield-like fps i’ve ever played, better than name-brand battlefield even. it fills the exact same niche for me.

i play with mic off and still manage serviceable communication with a squad of randies pretty much every game. there’s relatively frequent balance updates, so the meta isn’t focused on any one single playstyle. it’s exactly what i imagine an fps made by fps-junkies to look like.

Also playing support actually feels rewarding, and i think that’s proper rare in multiplayer games.

e: fuck hahah just kidding apparently it was abandoned by the devs. last update 15 months ago, rip to my favorite fps :c

i reckon qud is the smaller burden between the two. in terms of both how much you’ll need to learn, and how much of your life it will eat once you do.

i’m still blown away we finally managed og xbox. i guess modern consoles are so much closer to desktops anyway, it shouldn’t be too surprising they’re already being tackled!

oh holy christ i’ve never actually seen it before just now. it does have a certain “placeholder” vibe to it.

i swear pokémon duel would do the opposite of this. you’d get on a win streak and then suddenly a player with a very generic name and the EXACT counters to your deck fucken SWEEPS your ass with seemingly psychic precision. you could even trick it by switching to a deck with no synergy and just playing like a psycho whenever you got ~5 wins in a row.

i miss that game so much. taken before it’s time o7

i think psp did it first for handhelds, i know the suspend feature was a talking point when it launched. consoles didn’t get it until xbone iirc. it’s kinda wild how long it’s taken to be a regular feature!

i know this doesn’t answer your question at all, i just thought it was interesting hahah

the deck does this SO cleanly that now i get surprised when suspending my laptop breaks games.

like that’s the expected behavior, valve has me so spoiled.

the only decision that matters in the entire franchise is whether or not you hug da Vinci in the second game. that’s where player-choice peaked for assassin’s creed and i will not compromise on this.

make it so you shoot them out with a gun

EVERYBODY had the burger mii back in the day. there was also a classic gray alien and a comical looking michael jackson that practically everyone with an internet connection had downloaded from the mii channel.

i always just hang shit somewhere it won’t impede airflow and let it be. the ONE time i bought a prebuilt system was the only time i’ve had a computer with the cables remotely “managed”.

unfortunately one of the zip ties they used impeded the fan on the cpu cooler, but only when the case was closed. it made this buzzing noise that i couldn’t track down for months, and then the motherboard failed. and then the replacement motherboard failed.

i went back to building my own computers again after that.

it plays really well with proton, i have 168 hours all on linux. it’s THE GAME that fully convinced me visuals don’t matter at all if the gameplay is tight.

gunfire reborn released each of it’s dlc packs ~1 year apart and i’ve bought all three. going on 4 years since initial release and the game still feels fresh as hell.

i played through the whole of below zero on a deck and it ran swimmingly! i think it was before final release too, so probably not even fully optimized at that point.

“young bond for gamers” already sounds so hilariously out of touch.

if he’s not cranking 90s and hitting the griddy then he’ll NEVER be the young bond for THIS gamer.

it’s giving “molyneux” in the worst way

the entire base building system in 4 feels like a mod rather than part of the actual game.

😬

“shooting my gun into the air actually poses a statistically insignificant risk to the public at large, so no sane person would REALLY be worried about falling bullets.”

Who are you to police other people’s concern anyway? I’d bet not a parent!

There were 327 school shootings in the 2021-22 school year in the US. That’s more shootings than there are days in a school year. If we had an event wherein a known serial killer publicly tried to murder someone literally every day, reckon folks would be a might bit more concerned about it?

What I’m saying is this is a silly comparison for you to make.

i dunno, i usually don’t mesh with mobas at all but i played the shit out of smite. that was years ago so egg on my face if they’ve made it terrible since, but i remember it being real fun.

I’m not even a moba guy, but I’ve tried enough to know it’s very much so it’s own genre. Is there a single game that has a “moba mode”?

Seriously, I’m not trying to be an ass, but it’s like if you said “rts is a mode and not a genre”.

Titanfall is hands down the most fun I’ve ever had with a shooter. I didn’t even like titan combat, 99% of the time I just ordered mine around in AI mode and played like a lil robot killing ninja. Only game where my team could get their shit kicked in the whole match, lose by a wide margin, and it would still be a real fun experience.

Burn cards were a terrible fucking idea tho.

I love it and I notice when it’s absent. The coolest thing about games as an art medium is player choice and the potential to “break the game”. Playing in a way the developer didn’t intend is probably consistently the most fun I have in games, and advanced movement tech like crouch jumps almost always creates unintentional whackiness.

After transformers was so successful ig he just fully shifted to making content for children
