This implies that he’s actually guilty. Murder with a good reason is still murder for non-cops and non-soldiers. I think it might even be detrimental to have the jury think he had a good motive.

I mean, the redshirt is there to show that the protagonists are in actual real danger. Just like the stormtroopers managed to hit every nameless rebel soldier on the Tantive IV they should be able to hit redshirts with incredible precision.

They’ve worked on anti cheat support before. It still depends on the devs actually activating that support. That will always be the case whatever they do.

Got really lucky and bought when interest was low. While the house itself wasn’t cheap the money was.

Buy your own house, host the events and when they start up threaten loudly to throw them out if they keep on spewing that racist shit in your house.
Damn that felt good. Best thing ever about owning your own home.

OP, you would love the Steam Deck, or in a few months the Steam Machine. Or any other PC with Steam for that matter. With Steam Input you can rebind the controls of even the most stubborn game.

They ported it over to X-Wing in later versions. Also, play XWVM, if you haven’t already.
- Comment on Gaming Pet Peeves 1 week ago:
It’s a sign of the times. When I was a kid the cutscenes were the reward for winning the game, or a portion of the game for those bigger games that could afford more than two cutscenes.
But for my kids cutscenes are the boring things that keep you from playing.

- Comment on Me when Valve releases a phone 3 weeks ago:
Yeah, that remains to be seen. But they already have one mobile product and with the Frame that will soon be one and a half. And they definitely know the shady business practices that dominate mobile gaming, though I hope they manage to get away from that.
- Comment on Me when Valve releases a phone 3 weeks ago:
They are the only monopolist selling completely open devices and heavily investing into open source software. As it stands now the console, VR and phone market is dominated by locked down devices that depend on the benevolence of their manufacturers.
If they made a phone that was as open as the Steam Deck and then went power hungry and wanted to use their position to fuck everyone up you could still put another OS on the phone and use it without a single piece of Valve influence.
I want them to make more hardware because they can not dictate how I use it.
My Steam Deck is not running SteamOS but OpenSUSE. I am mainly playing games from other stores. This would is possible with an Xbox, PlayStation or Switch.
So yes, I can very much live with that kind of monopoly in the hardware space. And when they enshittify like every big corporations does I won’t cry but enjoy my awesome devices that will remain usable forever.
- Comment on Me when Valve releases a phone 3 weeks ago:
The thing is that it’s not totally baseless. The Steam Frame is already halfway there. Most of its components are repurposed phone parts. They’re only missing a 5g modem. And a “Small Screen” interface for Steam.
Give them five to ten years and they might actually pull it off.
- Comment on Me when Valve releases a phone 3 weeks ago:
So far their track record is pretty good in that regard.
- Comment on Me when Valve releases a phone 3 weeks ago:
Not quite. FSF (Free Software Foundation) announced the Librephone project. Its goal is to work towards having phone hardware with open firmware. They are still in the phase of finding out what that entails.
They are not making a phone. It’s more a campaign of nudging other manufacturers in that direction.

They showed a special build of Alyx rendering only what the player is looking at. I guess they didn’t focus on foveated rendering because it’s
- Expected to work either way.
- Needs support from the game.
Foveated streaming will work with all games.
- Comment on Steam Hardware [new Steam Controller, Steam Machine, and VR headset Steam Frame, coming in 2026] 3 weeks ago:
They showed a special build of Alyx only rendering where the eyes are looking and supposedly even that works well. I bet they’re working on a version of Alyx that can run natively on the Frame but it wasn’t fully ready for the announcement.
And maybe a HL3 that works both in VR and flat.
