are people expeting devs to infinitely support a game? one that isn’t even on the live service model in the first place?

its why i was jokingly saying back during covid winter, that at the time, while frowned upon, gpu mining is less wasteful than heaters. one heats a room something in return. the other intentionally wastes energy only to heat a room.

as a person who works in that industry pretty much. the only people buying singles are people who do it internally else its sold on bulk because the money gets split between the ecycler and the company who originally owns the product.

outside of having less processing to deal with per order, a company buying things in bulk is less critical about the condition of a product than an individual end user.

I just hate the trend that people want to make villains more generic evil. like how much shit ultraman got for the prescreening when he hits krypto thats actively fighting him. HES A VILLAIN, HES NOT SUPPOSED TO BE GOOD.

id rock the costume

although i prefer the arch distros for bleeding edge and rolling updates. Bazzite makes sense for testing because of the immutable.

A lot of more experienced pc users might end up liking arch distros later in their life, but I would never recomnmend arch based distros to people who aren’t comfortable with linux yet.

in a comment that was removed from the post, this data was in a decompilaion of steamvr binaries. which implies potentially vr related

i dont know source though. take with grain of salt

yeah this is the circle of ownership because the only way to get your account back at this point is social engineering, which is a serious topic about getting accounts hacked which different companies will handle seriously, as it requires a level of “trust me bro” on identity, If possible, id try to look for a CS that will take receipts of the game purchases to help further prove your identity.

its partly windows, and partly 8 core AMD CCDs that handhelds dont need.

Lenovo was given a holy ball (Z2 go cpu, basically 4c/8t zen 3 cpu and 12 rdna 2 cu cores (as apposed to the zen 2 and 8 cu rdna2 the steam deck has) and if they priced it at 600 tops and go down from there. it would be extremely competitive.

lenovo is basically like nah, 750$ it is. and i think its the reverse (starts at 600 and goes up)

by itself no. requires a. pc thats like entry gaming in like 2016 standards though which isn’t particularly high.

modern (e. g past like maybe 2 years) igpus could probably run it

black friday died when it became a normie holiday for sales. part of the reason why black friday worked before hand was that buyers are 100% aware of the product theyre buying and how much it is valued. anythings a “sale” if you’re selling it to an audience that doesn’t know what it was normally priced.

to be fair, the drive in question is a NAS drive, which is not a backup drive by its intended default usecase, unless you slapped it in a nas thats stored as a cloud storage in an offsite location.

its just a matter of people understanding that data redundancy is not a backup, just a level of data safeguard, as it only partially covers some of the forms of data loss and not all of them (e.g not immune to physical methods of data loss like fires, floods and stuff)

not too suprised, given the game runs fairly poorly on the base PS4, and I believe with Natlan, they made the decision to increase the quality of certain elements of the game, and its not going to get any lighter.

as an addenum, if you live by a major university, most universities have a weekly tounament for various games. if you arent up to snuff yet, there will likely also be casual setup, or better, bring your own setup to play casuals on with others. (e.g low effort one would be a pc version of a game running on a laptop for a mobile setup)

dont be intimidated and think you also have to register for the tournament if you arent experienced yet.

its why I dont like calling it scifi to people on suggesting it, because it kind of spoilers the premice on the idea how humanity got to that position in the first place. Its better advertised as fantasy mystery, than scifi.

back when Shin Sekai Yori aired, the yaoi jumpscare of Episode 8 caused a lot of people to drop the (very good) sci fi anime.

On and off conflict between the two countries for a while now. From what i know:

the land in dispute is Khmer land built an entire millenia ago under Suryavarman.

Thailand claims the lands were there due to drawn maps during 1904 french colonia indochina times. Cambodia claims the International Court of Justice lines in 1962, as about a decade ago, france pulled out of the region, and thailand moved in to occupy it.

to quickly summarize a lot, Thailand eventually obliged and ceded the temples to Cambodia. Cambodia went through the civil war. Thailand goes through a military coup, and expels a bunch of refugees into the region.

fast foward to 2008, globally wanted to turn the temples to a world heritage site. map draws borders around the site without giving posesion to a country, Thailand renegades on the plan but Cambodia continues.

Since 2008, there have been conflicts from both sides, and nations globally are trying not to exacerbate the issue.

i remember there were false flags that were raised before when crypto mining operations were flagged as an illegal weed operation

I havent even played a ubisoft title since before 2010. I just had the advantage of not being particularly attached to any of their IP to even reconsider it.
