Don’t worry too much. Your daughter will still love her Switch in a couple days when you get the account signed in. But if you really want to know about frustration on multiple devices, try using Kinja to comment across different sites at G/O Media sites?

I think it’s safe to say that any such equipment was likely obtained without the rightful owners permission—and EBay does have a responsibility to not willfully facilitate the transfer of stolen goods—which resulted in the listing being pulled. There’s no way someone has rights to sell a devkit less than a year after…

While my wife questions my clothing choices when we go out, she’ll see the wisdom in breakaway pants and a banana hammock the first time some guy wants to brawl. Not sure how goblins would react though. 

My car gets 40 rods to the hogshead and that’s the way I likes it. ~Muricans

You mean the MP3 player that Apple made (the only real commercial success) and a separate phone, oh and a digital camera, a PDA if your phone wasn’t a Blackberry, and a flashlight or headlamp. Yup, all those things existed in the world.

I have to assume the negative publicity from this incident will cause more of a financial hit than whatever their portion of the liability was. 

Hey, don’t mess with Texas…or the US army will go fight a war with Mexico again…probably.

I like the ID.4, but we want an AWD (not yet available). The real issue is the wife wants a RAV4 Prime, and we’re not playing the games these dealerships are playing with pricing ($10,000+ above MSRP to start) even before the car market went crazy. So we wait.

Go on Steam and sell a game license and get back to us if it’s property.

I hadn’t considered that, but it’s a fair reason. I had to replace my AirPods after losing my first pair following a trip. 

The absence of two big-budget cross-platform games from the full controller support flag does little to change the point that 75% of Steam’s top-sellers are not listed as full controller support, which is what should be viewed as a minimum for use on the Steam Deck. If Steam’s filters are broken, then that is an…

“Re-purchase”? What would compel someone to dispose of one of--if not the--best game of all time? Also the resale value of games is generally pretty sad, which makes this an extra weird take from someone writing for a gaming site.

Weird take that the actual definition of what is happening is “semantics” but enjoy being wrong.

It’s impossible that “most people are genuinely upset at this unilateral modification of their property by the developer” because no one owns the video game except the developers. What you and everyone else pay for is an end user license that allows you to use the game that the developers have created. If you’re…

If I buy a painting, I own that painting. No one owns the video game except the developers. You buy a license to use their product. Their product can change for many reasons including other artists withdrawing the developers’ right to use their licensed work within the game. There is a lot of misunderstanding about…

A lot of people have mental health issues that could include suicidal thoughts and ideation. If the developers remove content that could be upsetting for those potential customers (maybe they’d heard it was part of the game but not that a toggle could turn it off), that expands the game to more people. Making games…

If someone bought something four years ago and played it and enjoyed it for four years, how much monetary compensation are they owed when minor changes are made to the game? Would you like a refund for a burger you ate in middle school because you’ve decided McDonalds labor practices are bad too?

Based on the specs, you’re probably going to want to run 1080p and let your TV scale the resolution. I could be wrong about how the Steam Deck will perform (it has more and faster RAM and the much faster SSD storage) but the GPU has only 8 cores running up to 1.6 GHz, which is theoretically similar to 18 cores running…

People have these imaginary PC prices in their heads, but I think this is the first I’ve seen an imaginary budget gaming laptop for a little over $400. Laptops are expensive luxury items, gaming laptops even more so. Right now, the cheapest laptop with a dedicated (decent) graphics card at Costco is $1200. As others…

For me the difference between 30 and 60 is noticeable, but maybe an intermediate step is not so much. The problem with low frame rates is really that if you target 60 and have a frame rate drop you may be at 45 or even all the way down to 30, which isn’t great but is manageable. If you’re targeting 30 and have a frame…
