I’ll believe it, when I see it.
For the past 8 years they’ve been saying he “may” do this, or he “may” get punished for that, and everyone twiddled their thumbs until morons elected him into office again, making it all impossible again
For games you’re playing through Steam, no additional steps are required, apart from enabling Steam Input support in the controller settings. Your pad should be detected automatically
Play Anywhere ™️
Except for countries where we don’t allow you to
Orange juice is nothing like apple juice, and yet both still sell
No surprise there. It’s backed by a reputable company, built well, supported well, and continues to receive updates that affect not only the handheld itself, but the rest of the linux gaming scene all together. Plus it’s an absolute steal for the money.
Other brands had it all written out for them, but they all opted in for a quick buck, with generic bullshit with no understanding of what made the Deck so appealing
I really appreciate this one. Have done this on my other devices too, and while it does cut battery life by a little, your battery health will remain high for considerably longer
Yet again proves that capitalism is a cancer, and they’ll never be happy with anything, except for endless exponential growth
Yes. I didn’t like it nearly as much, if at all. I’ve heard mods make that game infinitely more enjoyable though, so maybe i’ll try it again some day
I fully agree with that. There are some games that are fully worth the price, even if the hours/$ isn’t quite there, but in most cases it’s not anymore
For indie and cheaper stuff specifically? The Binding of Isaac is over 1k hours between my two copies. Rimworld, Factorio, and Terraria are all close to 500h as well. If Minecraft counts as one for you, this is an outlier with roughly 4k hours since 2011.
Otherwise, I am quite into MMOs and story-rich singleplayer RPGs, so there’s a handful of them with well over several thousands of hours played too.
The amount of options isn’t the issue.
For most 25-40€ games I buy, i can get a great experience for the next 30-50 hours.
Indie games absolutely crush the statistics, where some sub-15€ roguelikes have such insane replayability, that i’ve clocked over a thousand hours into a couple. Not to mention how incredibly creative, unique, and story rich some of them are.
Meanwhile, what used to be 60€, and is now 80€+, is some “cinematic” 20fps on console slop, that you can barely get 5 hours of real gameplay out of. I don’t wanna sit there and watch a movie with an occasional A button press. Or even worse, play something like the Assassins Creed reboot, that had 500 hours of gameplay, 490 of which is just useless collectibles around the map.
So they CAN do something nice. Wish it didn’t come down to a gigantic lawsuit for them to do it though
I used to like purpose-made IDEs when i was just starting out with Java years ago, but these days, these are a hard sell for me.
A lot of Jetbrains plugins are incredibly opinionated, and you either have to use it their way, or gut the IDE, where half of its purpose loses value.
DIY editors like VSCode aren’t perfect but they’ve opened up a whole new market for things
One of the best games I have played in recent years. Finally scratched an itch that Gothic left me with for years
Unlikely to happen, because the leadership behind the project claimed they are in contact with Bethesda, to make sure no one’s stepping on anyone’s toes. Although obviously they can just pull the rug at any time, which would be catastrophic. Given that they’ve remade basically every single asset in the game, and require the original game to be owned and installed, it should be fine
I have mine on a rPi 3b+, in a docker container. Works great
Genuine question for PoE1 veterans: What is it exactly, that people want from the sequel?
With my little experience in 1, I was excited about the new gem system, and the idea of not having to deal with stacks of 20 prefixes on high-end mobs, and it seems that at least with the latter nothing has changed
The repost is a week late, but yeah
Took a look at the available options. This appears to be your best bet. Otherwise there are a few others, although less advanced and/or less maintained
