A touch, yes. I’m much happier being reliant on steam than Microsoft. They’re not incredibly indispensible either, you can do this stuff without them.

Is it good so far?

People buy games, but some games have been set up so they stop working in a few years. The petition is asking the EU to make it clearer if/when the games stop working, or to make it so the games never stop working. The petition passed it’s goal, but they’re worried that some of the signatures aren’t real, so they’re aiming to get a bigger number so even if a lot aren’t real it’ll still pass the needed number.

Hell yeah deltarune still going strong. Just had a power outage, kept myself amused by seeing how low you can put the tdp/clock settings on it without it breaking.

Turns out I can’t break it. I don’t know if there’s a computer that exists that couldn’t run this game honestly.

Funnily enough though they’re also potentially losing desktop users to Linux.

Continue the 2008 storyline you cowards

I loved it, but I had frustrations. I think there are two almost perfect games in here, the tile based mansion builder and the myst like mansion explorer. Somehow I found that putting them both together resulted in a slightly lesser experience than either of them functioning alone. It’s a very minor blemish on a fantastic experience though.

I can’t believe Ukraine would do this

And if it like blows in the wind that’s a whole jigglebone system and wind simulation that’s a lot of stuff going on

It depends on what you’re running, but often if the frame rate is rock solid and consistent it helps it feel a lot less stuttery. Fallout games are not known for their stability and well functioning unfortunately.

For comparison, deltarune came out a few days ago, that’s locked to 30 fps. Sure it’s not a full 3D game or anything, but there’s a lot of complex motion in the battles and it’s not an issue at all. Compared to something like bloodborne or the recent Zeldas, even after getting used to the frame rate they feel awful because they’re stuttering all the damn time.

Oh for sure, I don’t think less of people for these kind of situations. More at the state where it’s unfortunate but also interesting. We keep seeing these situations happen with varying amounts of justification from people, it’s interesting to try to understand what’s happening.

I don’t think it’s obtuse or anything, this stuff isn’t hard to find out before buying. I think it’s probably closer to people being afraid of fromsoft doing something different, but don’t have words to articulate it, so they express it in other ways.

Man I remember when I was allowed to work hard, now robots get all the jobs and I’m stuck. It’s really weird.

Big issue for me is the direction towards incentivised exclusivity. I can tolerate it on consoles (barely nowdays) because you’re paying someone to use your hardware instead of another, and you have to specifically develop for console hardware. That takes time and effort.

Different distribution platforms do not have such issues, and I don’t want exclusivity anywhere near PC gaming, unless you’re self publishing. Frankly if they weren’t banging on about steam using the industry standard % take, while they themselves are trying to undercut and use garbage tactics, I would have absolutely no problem with them, same as Ubisoft and EA’s garbage store.

I would say something like elden ring might be worth that price point given the breadth of the experience. Thing is, Elden ring is actually kinda too big. I like it, but a run through is like a multi week commitment, and I definitely don’t want that to be the norm, especially for fromsoft.

Definitely 456-123 order, I know some people have different ways they prefer to watch but I think that kind of detracts from watching how the franchise evolves over the years.

If you want more after that, rogue one and andor is pretty good, clone wars/bad batch has some good stuff (though I’d recommend finding a watch guide for clone wars, some episodes are straight up kids stuff, other episodes are almost literally Vietnam war and decapitations)

I think the sequels are interesting to watch, I’m a bit of an 8 apologist in some areas, but you have to go in with the expectation that there’s a general decline in story progression and making sense from movie to movie.

Honestly though I think the series has a general decline after 5. It’s all not bad, and there’s some good stuff, but if you find yourself uninterested don’t force yourself to continue after like episode 6.

Sure yes, but what the fuck else am I supposed to do? It sucks but you still have to remain functional, because we don’t live in the utopia where the numbers that provide food and shelter give a damn that your mum hit you too much.

Ah yeah then that’s Vulkan

Hope you’re running on Vulkan, for me it went from 30ish fps to an illegally high number for some ungodly reason.

Prey 2018, when you break through the glass. The whole game was good, but that first bit was stellar.
