As time goes on I lean more and more into PC gaming with emulation for older systems. Resistant to hardware and disks/cartridges failing and there are fewer concerns with online functionality going away completely. There’s a lot to like about the Switch but with it being literally their only console that still has any online features, I have serious concerns about longevity.
Outside of the major changes of the screen and battery, there’s minor changes in pretty much every area of the OLED. Whether that’s worth it depends. For me, the Deck was my main device, and for that it was completely worth selling the old model and upgrading. If it won’t be your primary gaming device or it will almost always be docked (so not benefiting from the screen or battery), then maybe not. In either case, the power is basically identical and some software changes have been made to massively improve the LCD screen, so you really can’t go wrong.
The fact that this went to court in the first place is just insane. This was an attempt at the removal of freedom for cruelty’s sake.
If I had to pick one it would be Terraria. But there are many good options.
It’s a lot of fun. Got me to get a stylus to use for card games on my Steam Deck.
Boss blinds that hard counter you late in the game feel pretty dang bad, but that’s my only big complaint thus far.
This strikes me as though the TOS existing is one of the (seemingly few) things out of their control when using the ip, but they went and made it as pro-consumer as they could.
It’s been a while but I think I also struggled to hit a solid 60 without substantial graphical downgrades. The biggest thing to check, if they haven’t fixed it, is if you’re using proton? The Linux version of the game, at least as of last year, is total crap. Running the Windows version through proton is a substantial improvement. Hopefully enough to get you to 60fps.
Hopefully this is a net positive. I’m guessing with the partnership they still want to work on Crash and Spyro, and I hope they do. They’ve been held in limbo for way too long. Would be pretty crazy for Crash to have an indie dev.
The Crash remake is definitely an improvement for the first game as it lacked analogue support. The others, at least as a lifelong fan, bit of a mixed bag. Good and well done, but I prefer the PS1 version of the second two games. The physics are less precise in the remakes and the graphical and musical changes give it a worse atmosphere for me. But for a newbie, they’re still great.
So she doesn’t want IVF to stop but does still think embryos are babies. To me this reads like someone who thinks literally all embryos retrieved during the IVF process must be used. For those who aren’t aware, IVF can potentially end up with 8 or so viable embryos.
Option 3: the dog is a commander of other dogs. My beagle gets orders from him at least once a week.
While I’m not surprised and I’m not sure if the current proposals are any different, I hate how dishonest the framing around our aid so far has been. Even in non-right-wing news, it’s regularly talked about as a dollar amount, implying that it is or will be a strain on our economy. In actuality, we are primarily supplying old equipment that, while better than what Russia has, is not the best we own and would use ourselves. All that to say, this is not some big drain on the country like some people would like us to believe.
I’ll add Chronicon to the list! Its approach to endgame is quite similar to D3, but more entertaining imo. It was also made by a solo dev, which is very impressive.
I don’t understand why a company would even want to use the music if it means they can only sell the game for so long. Obviously, it’s not the current reality, but I would outright refuse any deal that involves a limited amount of time to use material that goes into a video game, movie, any form of media except maybe live services that are constantly changing anyways (which is a separate issue).
At the very least, people should be made aware of a game’s sale period, though I’m sure that’s kept under NDA.
This one hurts deep. But to each their own ofc.
Factorio is indeed a great choice. Whenever you’re ready for more Monster Hunter, Risse+Sunbreak is also amazing (playing it now myself). ARPGs like Grim dawn and Chronicon also give plenty of playtime if they’re your style.
I haven’t looped back to the game since it was added. How would you say the controller support is compared to the trackpad style setups that were previously required on Deck?
ProtonDB claims that it works with proton-ge. I may have to give it a try sometime soon. It was my 2nd game on Steam (after Terraria).
Nothing against you specifically! It would be more accurate to say that the people who will die on the hill of roguelike being something very specific wear me out. I certainly didn’t intent to make a dig at you, so sorry about that!
Yup. My wife’s car is a '22 and while overall solid drives her crazy with its sensors yelling at her. Thankfully, the auto adjustment to steering if you ‘veer out of your lane’ can be disabled. It still beeps at her for usually no good reason, though. Meanwhile, I hate it because it uses Android auto and is absolutely horrible at managing multiple phones. When I drive it won’t connect. Meanwhile, when she gets home, it hijacks my bluetooth even if I’m listening to something with my headphones. If I unpair it on the phone side it spams pair requests until I block it.
Meanwhile, my car is roughly 10 years old, runs just fine, doesn’t beep just because I used my turn signal with a car next to me, and has basic bluetooth that just works. I much prefer mine.
