  Tends to go that way when the take is so dumb and disconnected from reality. Might as well have shown dick pics with diamond encrusted micro transaction “rewards”.

  918k now. Not European, but you guys give me hope for the future :)

  As a recent refugee from W10, I agree. Not shitting on Lutris since it did kind of worked, so it might have been a matter of playing with some settings, but heroic just worked.

  Lutris on a fresh bazzite install: install GOG launcher and sign in. Crappy launcher to install the game (same as windows). Install Witcher 3, start playing. Find out the installer never reported success. Next time it launches it throws an error because the game was not installed. Default is to not cache the installer files. Multi-GB download starts again.

  Heroic on the same setup (after the above): sign in to GOG. Get black and white icons for all games in the platform. Double click or right click (can’t remember which) to install. Game installs and the icon is in color now. Double click, it starts and works.

  That’s fair, but as someone that has not played the game, you need to provide some specifics otherwise it just gets lost within a lot of praise for the game (which I’m not sure I will like).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨LEGO Party! Official Announcement Trailer⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I understand that’s the purpose of a party game, but the mini games I saw were literally chose a thing and it will explode or it will not, no fun involved after you experience it once. Not even like a blue shell that still needs you to move forward.

  Also there was a game that made you chose a 1 or 2 and once you got to a few players, it was impossible to win regardless if you got left with the option before the bee hive. At least make the dice spin faster when less players are around to make it feel random but fair (even if it isn’t).

  There is a point where things move from fun and chaotic to completely random and less replayable.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨LEGO Party! Official Announcement Trailer⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  A chance to be a much better Mario party if there is less RNG.

  Saw a stream of some people playing Mario party superstars from a year ago and it looked very unfair/RNG based to the point of being boring.

  Personal opinion: Because some food should not be that cheap. It’s part of the reason we are so fat in the US (plus car centric cities). Subsidies keep some things like corn artificially low and they end up being hammered in into every product (biodiesel, sweeteners, animal feed, etc.). With that setup, companies have learned to use those subsidies and other workarounds and loopholes to maximize profit at the expense of the product being output and we fall for it every time .

  The problem is game companies don’t make games for gamers, they make games for investors. Hoarding IPs and patents is what they do.

  Forgot the top 5/6/10/25 things you didn’t know about game XYZ pulled directly from some YouTube video. Also applies to Tech news websites.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Day 284 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games l've been playing⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Reminds me of The Legend of Zelda’s Satori/Lord of the Mountain. Are they based on the same Japanese lore or reference perhaps?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When Nintendo games were affordable⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  GameCube games MSRP was 49.99. Adjusted for inflation it is $79.30. The reason things feel so expensive is because you get half cooked broken DLC ridden games as the norm and a large portion of income goes toward housing, transportation (cars specifically) and education.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ex-PlayStation exec argues 'only the dog can hear' differences between consoles and gaming PCs: 'They're all quite similar'⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I honestly think some console games look pretty good and perform well. It’s hard to have something optimized when the hardware is so diverse. Similar to iPhone vs android. With that said, PC games without some ass backwards “copy protection” and “anti-cheat” will always be excluded from my lists.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do people insist on not answering ALL the questions in an email or text message?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  At least now you can rely back with “can you also provide feedback for #1 & #3?”

  Repeat until all items are cleared. Not perfect, but at least you don’t have to waste time rewording a follow-up email.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con may have the same stick drift problem as original Switch⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  They initially also only did it in places that consumer protection laws would force them to. Some markets (at least initially) didn’t get the same benefit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nintendo Switch 2 Game-Key Card Overview⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  People are referring to damaged physical media = can’t play it. That’s always been the case. You mixed 2 different things into the same point, which are wildly distinct and why people say they agree partially.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Switch 2 Rollout Was So Convoluted It Made Us Want A Steam Deck.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Fully agree. I disabled the joycon motion controls on Zelda to be able to play it. I was not going to give Nintendo more money for another faulty replacement.

  It is part of the reason I will not buy a switch 2. They evaporated the trust I had in them chasing profits by not acknowledging a very known problem.

  It’s clear that it is lawyers and bean counters steering the company. The only thing they still have going for them is they delay games until they are acceptable, once that boat has sailed, you know it will be all downhill going forward.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Switch 2 Rollout Was So Convoluted It Made Us Want A Steam Deck.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I was about to say, I never got more than 3-4 on the one I own. You refreshed my memory. It also had an OLED screen on the updated hardware.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Metroid Prime 4: Beyond Trailer (2025)⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Can’t be delayed if there is no release date (other than possible 2025). Luckily Nintendo does delay their games when needed.

  The way to bankrupt a country’s safety nets and plunder the remains with capitalism? Can’t wait to have the SSA be private so all claims can be denied similar to the shit healthcare “system” in place, because we LOVE that system.

  I don’t know if I would call them the lucky ones.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gottem. :)⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It would turn pitch black. So dark the stars far away would be the brightest when compared to everything else. It would be scary.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam now warns about Early Access that have not been updated in months.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  While what you say is accurate right now. With the rule in place, automating small “check-ins” and “updates” could become a thing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Contributing to the local economy⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  With that said, a beater with snow tires and chains on the trunk (and a driver that knows how to put them on before they are needed) will do better than a Subaru with all season tires.

  Source: Subaru forums, even a RWD like a BRZ/FRS with snow tires can be safe if driven with the car’s limitations in mind.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Boomers with their loud Samsung phone sounds⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  While not as bad, my dad is kind of like that with phones. I installed Linux mint and honestly as long as the same ginormous Firefox icon (which I told him was the internet and YouTubes - same as the same of in windows) is around, he can still get to his karaoke and YouTube videos.

  On my side I know it is pretty much impossible for him to get a malicious executable now, every few weeks we do upgrades when I visit which are a lot faster than windows updates.

  I would disagree. They are saying they are gullible enough to fall for both new scams (AI) and old scams (believing the Oracle will actually provide any support to some product their sales team is pushing).
