it was built that way on the original xbox as well I had two and always had one set up as a dedicated server for games. since it does cross play I would run my PC as a dedicated server to be able to play.

Valve walked so these more boutique rigs could walk slightly faster or slightly longer. As a Steam Deck owner I am still incredibly happy with my purchase and don’t see any immediate need to drop another several hundred dollars to get a beefier alternative just to get marginally better performance one way or the…

The thing I don’t see people talking about is Asus support. There track record for long product support isn’t great. They tend to shove products out but not support them in the long run. I thinking that this will get 1 or 2 major updates in the first year then nothing. Drivers will most likely be the same.

Valve decided to use an immutable file system for the Steam Deck’s OS - essentially, the core of the operating system, including the directories where system-wide apps are typically installed, is read-only. It’s a safeguard against people who’d accidentally end up making their OS unbootable by blindly following…

Agree on some of your points.

Aside from your observation that executives are vastly over compensated in today’s economy, there is an industry turn of phrase that illustrates why throwing money (be it taken from Kotick’s bonus or a magical bag of money holding) or people at certain technical problems is not a magical solution:

Right, but adding more servers to a system where only one instance of a major core function can run isn’t going to help. They need to find a workaround or rebuild that function so it can have numerous instances running. 

Why are we talking about changing anything when the accused hasn’t even been proven guilty?

Jonathan Blow is a twat though

I use the 8Bitdo Sn30 Pro+. First off it has a great feel in hand compared to sticking the two joycons together and as someone who grew up playing on the Sony Playstation controller layout, it feels a little more intuitive for me as well

If corporations were an ice cream flavor they would be water.

It’s not that there aren’t “good” cops, it’s that even the good cops know there will be significant repercussions for their career, financial wellbeing, and even social life if they ever speak out against a single bad cop. The “good” cops are still complicit and the only way to fix that is to dismantle and rebuild the…

Even if they aren’t mutually exclusive, there’s entirely too much infrastructure built around keeping the so-called bad apples in place. The system is legitimately broken

Is it a “bad decision” that you can’t play Gone Home from the perspective of a heterosexual male? Each developer can choose how they feel their game should be made. You can expect every developer to make a hundred different versions of a game to cater to each individuals world view.

There is nothing Christian about the fire and brimstone of the American evangelical death cult. They need to terrify and indoctrinate children in order to keep their power and cash.

This is where I stand. I made a top-level post on it, but I’d much rather make it required to disclose what kinds of payment structures are in each game instead of trying to ban certain kinds of payments.

I heard the same thing about Anno 1800 just recently when looking into whether I should buy it. “Don’t worry, if you buy it on Steam it’ll still be supported and get all the same updates even though it’s coming off the Steam store the day it comes out.” Not gambling my money on hoping they keep their word in…

As a devout Catholic who was raised a devout Protestant, I say: come to my local cathedral whenever you’re in town, and enjoy! Atheists, pagans, and religionists of any stripe are perfectly welcome. There isn’t a thing in the world disrespectful about honest interest, even if our idea about what’s essential to the…

If you play on PC, there’s a mod that makes all the music full orchestral instead of midi.

Got a good tip a few years ago. “When you finished your tweet (or comment, I cant remember anymore), copy it, open it in Word, take a short break and then read it again before you post it.”
