I know this is likely an unpopular opinion, but I’ve never liked card collecting games. It’s like having gambling microtransactions in my card games. I don’t tolerate those in video games, why would I in card games? Why wouldn’t I just play Wingspan or Uno or Catan or one of the many other games instead?

That switch for what reason? They can do what they want with their PC, like play a game? Being able to do what I want with my PC is the main reason I switched to Linux.
- Comment on Epic Games Launcher preview arrives - Native Linux support, Fortnite for Linux is coming and upgraded Easy Anti-Cheat 6 days ago:
That’s really fair. I forget that anticheats are kernel level I guess, as it makes no damn sense. Hopefully, as the other reply to my comment mentioned, it’s not kernel level.
- Comment on Xbox Nano Controller announced 6 days ago:
Yeah, for all the criticisms of Microsoft, not understanding “everything is an Xbox” is not one I understand, it seemed pretty obvious to me. Though, I suppose we’re in the minority, as I’ve heard the “what the hecc does that mean” from everyone from normies to tech literate people. I don’t get it.

To all the people saying they hope this doesn’t work out, do yah want more people on Linux or not? For some, Fortnite will be the killer game that they have to stay on Windows for.
- Comment on Sony Implements New Customer Harassment Policy Following Backlash Toward Its Plans to Stop Making Physical Game Discs 1 month ago:
I don’t think any game should be $100. That said, I am in a position to spend more, and totally would on GTA6. I don’t think it should be $100, let alone more, as many people around the US and world are not in that position right now and with the money printing machine that is GTAO, not to mention the number of copies they’ll sell, they don’t need to charge that much.

I’ve been checking near me and a used Series X is about the same as a PS5, especially if you want a disk edition PS5. The main thing giving me pause is the fact that I won’t be able to buy a disk and sell that along with the console. Ugh.

GTA6 is not a Playstation exclusive. You could buy a Xbox instead. It’s what I’m going to do, used, mostly because I already have an Elite controller. Hell, just buy a PS5 used, and resell it when GTA6 comes out on PC. Sony wouldn’t see a dime of yours.

Not really. I would consider 2 years pretty average. Some games get abandoned in less time, some are in early access for double the time. Some games are basically complete and are only in early access for a few months. I don’t have a problem with any approach, as long as the game is getting worked on of course.

I agree that weed should be legal, I live in Washington State, but I wouldn’t call somewhere shitty because it isn’t. Weed is illegal in a lot of places that have better public transit, better healthcare, etc. If you limit that statement to the US, then it applies a bit more.

I feel like I got into self hosting at the exact correct time. Immich is amazing, Filebrowser Quantum is incredible, Ghost (Patreon alternative) has been awesome, and there’s so much more. It’s so good.

Costco in general, actually. When was the last time they increased the membership cost?
- Comment on Poll: Will you buy GTA 6 when it launches on your platform? 3 months ago:
Yeah, when I said that’s still my best plan, that’s what I was referring to. Currently in the wait and see phase. I really would like to play on launch, but I might be able to wait a month…
- Comment on Poll: Will you buy GTA 6 when it launches on your platform? 3 months ago:
The disk isn’t completely useless. It’s a physical license key that is transferable and resellable. I was fully planning to purchase a used console to play GTA 6 with a physical disk, then sell both when it came out on PC. That’s still my best plan I guess.
- Comment on 3 months ago:
I suppose I should clarify that I’m not advocating for it, but it’d be better than a digital key that’ll be tied to your account forever.
- Comment on 3 months ago:
What’s wrong with the disk being a license key? That’d work just fine for my plan of reselling the game and console when it comes out on PC.
- Comment on 3 months ago:
I don’t care if it’s just one disk and you have to download most of the game, the important thing is being able to give the disk to someone else, allowing them to play the game.
- Comment on 3 months ago:
That is not how disks that don’t have data on them have worked in the past. The disk works as the game key, allowing you to install and play the game, even if there is no data on the disk.
- Comment on 3 months ago:
I don’t think this is an overreaction. As a PC gamer, this completely ruins my plans for playing the game. I was planning to buy a used console and the physical edition of the game, so I could resell both when the game came out on PC. This is another entry into “you will own nothing and be happy.”
- Comment on Steam Machine pricing announced (from $1049-$1428 USD), reservation lists open 3 months ago:
Yeah, I’m definitely in the same boat. Would I love a Steam Machine? Sure. For $1050 can I continue plugging the HDMI from my desktop into the TV? Also very much yes.
- Comment on Steam Machine pricing announced (from $1049-$1428 USD), reservation lists open 3 months ago:
I’m also glad I got the first Gen SteamDeck for launch pricing but it’s in just about zero ways the same as a Steam Machine, unless you just mean they’re both PCs running SteamOS, as that’s about all they have in common.

I’ve never understood TCGs when games that don’t rely on gambling exist and are really fun.

As much as I love those, I feel like that’s an incredibly hot take lol.

In 2013 when it realeased it was amazing, and even now it barely feels dated.
- Comment on PlayStation boss says single-player games won’t come to PC going forward | VGC 5 months ago:
Yeah. I’m just so beyond good without playing games that are locked to console. I kinda thought we were over this tbh, it’s unfortunate that Sony is moving backwards.
I will say that I’m making an exception for GTA6 because, well, it’s GTA, and I’ll be able to sell the phycial copy and console when it releases on PC, it shouldn’t cost too much extra to be able to play at launch.

Am I missing something, or did you not include a photo of it fully open? A gif of it opening/closing would also be neat to see the mechanism. What a weird device.

Wasn’t the Gameboy screen pretty square?

Very few people. It’s included with the ultimate edition.
