“temper tantrums” that’s one helluva way to talk about direct coordinated action that is causing the company to actually respond.

Also reddit runs at a loss by choice, they can be profitable any time they remove all the bloat at their office that does little or nothing to contribute to the service. Even this latest…

I think I’m just getting better at focussing my time. Managed to get back into playing guitar, reading comics, and cooking dinner for friends to hang out at home more (which sometimes also involves games). Realising I like to spend a lot of time at home kind of freed up a lot of extra time, no travelling no getting…

I don’t know if thats completely true. I am sure I have played while on airplane mode before, but I guess maybe I never noticed as I always have data of some kind available on my Mobile. Doing a little search they seem to say that only some games require this. Personally I don’t mind the data collection, they already…

I know what you mean. I dreamt about docking my phone as I got home and then using the smart assistant to control features throughout my house as I went along. Leveraging all the power there. But sadly ust as we had seemed to be getting lose that, everyone kind of pivoted away from it. But yeah I don’t think its an…

Yep, that is all I want a launcher to do. Let me buy games, let me launch them, and do the cloud saves. Everything else is uneaded. When I was a Steam user I hated how undercooked all its features were, and how we were always at Valve’s whim on changes to them. And also the other thing that doesn’t help is how…

To date I have never had issues getting a game to run, but also the Steam forums are so toxic I only ever use them as a last resort. Even when I was a primarily Steam gamer for years I learned to avoid them and prefer just going to reddit. Every now and then I dip my toes back in and it seems like it never changes.…

My experience couldn’t be any different. I’ve literally never had a problem on it. I’m wracking my brain right now trying to think of one, and I’m coming up blank. I don’t think I’ve ever tried to look up by genre, I’ll give it a whirl. But for my experience, its speedy, light, and gets out the way.

This so much. So crazy to hear journalists just parrot capitalist talking points without any critique. Gaming takes its first ever slow down in decades after an unpredicted stimulus brought on by a global pandemic, and suddenly we’re blaming a relatively small negative bump on layoffs. No no, not while most of these…

Many Samsung phones and tablets offer easy docking, a different dock experience, and easy connection to a traditional controller. But devices like the backbone will give you a solid handheld Switch-like experience. Pairing that with Samsung docking on the same device and what you want already exists.

If you have Netflix, I highly recommend checking out the gaming tab on the mobile app. There are some games exclusive to there, but even ones that exist as an MTX mess on other stores (like Cat and Soup) have MTX free versions in the Netflix app. There are some crazy good gems in there like Into the Breach,…

I mean it will contract when the maximum number of players are reached. While 3 billion gamers worldwide suggests we might be approaching the limits, people really thought that was the case when we hit 1 billion and again 2 billion. But there is a soft evagelicalism to gaming that maybe gives it much longer legs than…

They also seem to be solely focussed on the US market. There are some markets where the entire gaming culture is mobile only, consoles are a non feature, and then defining that entire market as casual would be even more incongruous with what we would naturally associate with terms like “casual”.

You have as much time as you want to make for the things you are passionate about. If that means games get excluded for you, that’s totally fine and more than fair. I truly hope you are living a life that pleases you. As for me I ramped up gaming over 35 by primarily cutting out almost all TV watching. I just do not…

Five years later, the Epic Games Store is still an atrociously awful piece of software

I replied to the other guy with a tip on how to unroll the slideshows. Hope it helps you out.

So what I do is usually separate the tab from the rest of my browser, and then press the windows button and left to make the tab only take up half the screen. You can do this to the whole browser without separating the tab. When the browser is only a certain width it unrolls the slideshow. So you can just scroll it.

but I think this game had some potential with some more work and testing. I think there is a good idea behind it

Jezuz christ, not liking the 360 controller is one thing, but saying the DS3 was liberating FML. I remember borrowing a PS3 to play The Last of Us and I had never experienced such severe hand cramps while playing a game before. Where my thumbs connect to my hand that joint specfically was on fire with that cramped…

For its hurt their and Xbox’s reputation. Personally I think they should have cancelled the game entirely, even at such a late stage. But prolonging development wouldn’t have helped, the game would not have got any better and the sooner they were on to a new project the better.

because as long as we have had vibrating controllers—and it’s been decades now—I don’t know if I’ve ever seen the mechanics of them actually vibrating before while you’ve got the finished product in your hand:
