i think psp did it first for handhelds, i know the suspend feature was a talking point when it launched. consoles didn’t get it until xbone iirc. it’s kinda wild how long it’s taken to be a regular feature!

i know this doesn’t answer your question at all, i just thought it was interesting hahah

the deck does this SO cleanly that now i get surprised when suspending my laptop breaks games.

like that’s the expected behavior, valve has me so spoiled.

the only decision that matters in the entire franchise is whether or not you hug da Vinci in the second game. that’s where player-choice peaked for assassin’s creed and i will not compromise on this.

make it so you shoot them out with a gun

i always just hang shit somewhere it won’t impede airflow and let it be. the ONE time i bought a prebuilt system was the only time i’ve had a computer with the cables remotely “managed”.

unfortunately one of the zip ties they used impeded the fan on the cpu cooler, but only when the case was closed. it made this buzzing noise that i couldn’t track down for months, and then the motherboard failed. and then the replacement motherboard failed.

i went back to building my own computers again after that.

so i do torrent stuff when i want to keep it, but the vast majoriy of my media i just stream from whatever shady site i happen to find it on first. it’s too quick and easy.

protip if you ever have trouble finding anything, just use yandex. russia doesn’t give a SHIT about copyright violations or DMCA complaints.

it’s giving “molyneux” in the worst way

the entire base building system in 4 feels like a mod rather than part of the actual game.

😬

“shooting my gun into the air actually poses a statistically insignificant risk to the public at large, so no sane person would REALLY be worried about falling bullets.”

Who are you to police other people’s concern anyway? I’d bet not a parent!

There were 327 school shootings in the 2021-22 school year in the US. That’s more shootings than there are days in a school year. If we had an event wherein a known serial killer publicly tried to murder someone literally every day, reckon folks would be a might bit more concerned about it?

What I’m saying is this is a silly comparison for you to make.

i dunno, i usually don’t mesh with mobas at all but i played the shit out of smite. that was years ago so egg on my face if they’ve made it terrible since, but i remember it being real fun.

320gb hdd I had laying around that would otherwise just collect dust due to it’s miniscule size.

i put a 512gb drive in a thinkpad less than a decade ago and thought at the time “boy this might be overkill”

and now i can get 2tb on a fucking microsd for a cheaper data/cost ratio than i did back then, wild.

I’m not even a moba guy, but I’ve tried enough to know it’s very much so it’s own genre. Is there a single game that has a “moba mode”?

Seriously, I’m not trying to be an ass, but it’s like if you said “rts is a mode and not a genre”.

Titanfall is hands down the most fun I’ve ever had with a shooter. I didn’t even like titan combat, 99% of the time I just ordered mine around in AI mode and played like a lil robot killing ninja. Only game where my team could get their shit kicked in the whole match, lose by a wide margin, and it would still be a real fun experience.

Burn cards were a terrible fucking idea tho.

I love it and I notice when it’s absent. The coolest thing about games as an art medium is player choice and the potential to “break the game”. Playing in a way the developer didn’t intend is probably consistently the most fun I have in games, and advanced movement tech like crouch jumps almost always creates unintentional whackiness.

I wonder how much overhead Shadows of Doubt spends just on maintaining all the NPC schedules, gotta be some room for optimization there.

Is it as cool as it sounds?

Is there ingame social media yet? I’m not picking warframe back up until I can be a full time tennofluencer

photogimp exists and is fantastic
