I dunno, I use a touchscreen on some of my Windows devices and the idea of their tablet mode having better on-the-fly adaptation for their touch targets that actually works without breaking how everything looks is pretty neat. And the Start menu comment is weird considering the new icons are way smaller than the old…

My main impression of Windows 11 is that the UI is bloody awful. I don’t know why they feel the need to perpetually design their UI for mobile use without concern about anything else, that chunky icon based style of start menu is an abomination.

By having different prices across regions, countries with lower average incomes still have access to legal game purchases. For example, the minimum wage in Argentina is around $150, so buying a brand new $60 game is absolutely impossible. Valve’d prefer selling at a lower price (in a market that’d otherwise pirate the…

Value of the currency. In Russia for example, the average IT worker earns about a third of the pay of western Europe, therefore the price of goods to purchase are scaled down accordingly. Games tend to always be unproportionally more expensive for those people living in countries with weaker economies though.

Price for digital good is the price people are ready to pay. So if in US people are buying 60$ games, then price will be it. Sales will be very bad for 60$ price tag in low income market, most will choose to pirate it. So if you want to sell, you lower the price until people start buying it. 

Everytime we talk about price on steam I'm enjoying seeing how a European pay more than anyone else. Our currency is worth more than the dollar, and we still get a higher price tag every single time. What's the point of regional pricing in this case. 

A few years back I spent a some time in Vermont. I really loved the scenery and just thought the state was beautiful, got to do a bit of hiking and sightseeing. It wasn’t until I flew back home to a major city that I realized the white noise of billboards was completely absent absent from my trip there, and how much I…

We live in a cyberpunk dystopia, and it’s getting worse all the time.

It’s a lack of a consistent market. Demand for large-scale mining only really exists when this Ponzi scheme becomes momentarily popular again and then collapses when the suckers stop paying in.

Good. I hope this means I can get a reasonably priced GPU either this gen or next.

Yeah, his statement is total self-contradictory bullshit. You literally can’t be Republican, Christian, believe in equality, in science, and in common sense at the same time. The first of those is in direct opposition to every one of the other four, for starters.

If you are pro-life and believe in science then you know that legal abortions, along with well put together sex education courses and free contraceptives, will greatly reduce unwanted pregnancies and keep more people safe and alive.

You probably think you’ve got some kind of gotcha there, but noone would oppose that.

Hi! I’m a gamer with a disability, and I am always extremely grateful when a game has accessibility options (or just a story mode option) that allows me to get past a part of a game I am simply not equipped for.

You know there’s a huge community based around hard mario levels, right?

And plenty of disabled gamers have come out in support of adding difficulty levels to From games. Don’t use the words of one person to symbolize an entire group lol.

Difficulty options do nothing except expand the potential number of people who will play the game. I don’t give a fuck if I’m cHeAtInG mYsElF out of some arbitrary experience. I just want to get through the game without wasting a lot of my precious time. And it’s the developer’s right to not include difficulty options…

They are always calling out progressive people for not having a spine. We started calling out people for literally funding our misery. I’m over it. He’s rich and he’ll be alright. Maybe he can write a book about it and go on FOX. If he wanted to avoid politics he wouldn’t donate to politicians. If someone calls me out…

“I choose to remove myself from criticism, while still earning money from any new Freddy’s games that come out. Conveniently, since I won’t be the public face anymore, many who might have hesitated to buy them will decide that this makes it fine to again. Even though I’ll still get the money and almost certainly still…

He’s either a liar or ignorant.
