Fuck Nintendo. I would pay 60 bucks a game to get my entire N64 and NES library back but Nintendo will never make the bulk their older games available.

Cheating is a way to win. says cheaters.

☠️ Better user experience, perpetual access.

And so AAA gaming dies because most consumers are too slow to tell the difference between authentic talent and AI bullshit.

It keeps getting better. Better HW support, newer packages, no Canonical corporate crap. I run it on my gaming machine, work laptop, server, nas, and a 2013 netbook.

Media on their way to doxx and leak every single detail about a guy who MAYBE killed some rich heartless exec

You think all Steam does is distribute files?

They distribute files, automate one click installs on Windows/Linux/Mac, they automate compatibly for non-Windows installs, they offer cloud saves, and they offer unlimited downloads and installs of games.

That’s a massive amount of infrastructure that makes sure games sold through Steam are playable for decades.

If you remember before distribution platforms you would see a game for sale at full price on disk for 6mo to a year, then IF there were any disks left they would slowly decrease in price until they eventually hit the $5 bin. After that the game was just unavailable to you and not generating any revenue for the developer.

On top of all of that, 30% is the cut that Physical stores take while offering NOTHING to the devs.

Debian > Ubuntu. Less extra stuff shoveled in and while not bleeding edge it’s not a dinosaur.

Right age. It’s my 2010 gaming rig turned server.

Feels

I have a non ti 1080 and every subsequent generation seems to have been worse with everything from firmware issues to actual fires.

I grabbed literally the cheapest HOTAS from Aliexpress a few years ago and it has been awesome.*

*It required tweaks. The stick centering spring was WAY too tough and had to be shortened. And the measured range of motion was only about 80% of the physical range of motion so there were deadzones at the end of each axis. Resistors can be added to each POT to stretch out the measured range.

They took away Lost Coast? I know they removed HL2 2D because of some burned in ads but Lost Cost was 100% Valve material.

I played HL2 when it came out but never played HL1 until around 2018. Some how I never learned about jump-coruching, do you know how much harder HL1 is when you can’t jump onto crates? I had to walk the entire underground train level.

Is this The Onion? It sounds like The Onion.

Our sales specialists have found that adding diamond to the GPU can increase profit margins by up to 30%. And with optional ruby studded HDMI cables we expect out customers to be selling their parents into slavery this holiday season!

That is pretty much why. I took one programming class in high school (2004) and since then alway enjoyed solving software puzzles.

I ran my first “smart” phone for more than 5 years before needing an upgrade. My latest Pixel 8 is less than a year old and now has a row of pink pixels. Never been dropped, never been wet, never fast charged.

App /ăp/

noun

A small program designed to duplicate existing features while collecting private data and monetizing user interactions.

This is a 10 year old house and was supposed to be built with all the latest energy saving tech, except it’s Canada and I doubt it would have passed inspection even on the day it was sold.

Nope, home made sensors and python scripts.
