Lol I played TLD before the story mode was implemented, there was only open survival mode and starting points. The exploring and resource management is really fun, and wolves and cold snaps force you to move from barn to barn and sticking near car wrecks, getting a working hunting rifle was quite hard.
Even besides the corporate issues, I just can’t help but not like this handheld.
It looks like a cheaply built gamer device, and it feels like a cheaply built gamer device in the hand too. Between them and MSI, it’s almost as if they’ve put literally no effort into engineering anything, and just threw together a whatever they could, on the basis of a generic shell.
Not to mention that having ArmoryCrate is literally a downside in every way, and having 2 years of warranty NOW, after they showed up on FTCs radar, is laughable
Because it IS a cheaply built gamer device in a generic OEM shell. Pretty sure Microsoft has gotten enough flak for handheld Windows that they’re starting to build gamescope type optimizations like directSR. It’s not enough for me to switch back but maybe it is for others, who knows, hopefully Microsoft can stop riding the AI hype train to eventually build something to make armorycrate obsolete.
Yeah, there is a reason everyone talks about the Steam Deck, it’s an actually good device that Valve put a bunch of effort into making soild. There is also the problem that many of these other handhelds, like this ASUS one, are running an OS full of background processes constantly sapping your battery. Again, Valve put a bunch of effort into making the Steam Deck good and it shows.
Some desperate scalpers on ebay are already trying to sell the 512GB version for 1000€. Despite the fact that you can still order one for half the price and receive it within 6-10 days.
I could be wrong, but I would bet that launderers are probably not targeting this niche device. I’d guess that the people buying them are more likely from a country that they don’t sell in. Like Australia for example.
How often do people leave reviews? I rarely see a profile with +100 reviews.
I only leave reviews after 100% completion or a lot of time (hundreds of hours) in case of fighting games where sometimes 100% is ridiculously difficult to attain (oh hi, Plus R)
I think the average time between my picking up a game and leaving a review is like 3~12 months. Definitely even more if I’m not vibing with the game.
As I recall, its around 5%-20% of players leave a review, usually closer to 5% unless something about the game makes people want to talk about it, for both good and bad.
Same. I’m often in the process of breaking down why I like/dislike the game, what works about it, and what doesn’t as I’m playing. I can’t give honest feedback with incomplete thoughts.
Speaking only for myself, I only leave a review if I loved or I hated a game. A “meh” game doesn’t get a review. I’d hazard that many people do something similar.
Looking a bit further into it, a bug report on the GZDoom GitHub page titled “Project management” was opened that gave a little more detail noting issues with the lead of GZDoom pushing untested code, using an LLM to write code and hiding “not insignificant changes in commits, which has people worried that you’ll randomly rip out features that they rely on”. In reply, the project lead simply said “Feel free to fork the project under a” (yes, that really all they said).
A later comment before the bug report was locked points out the specific change in GZDoom that was made with ChatGPT.
Lately it feels like GenAI is gonna push FOSS projects and its maintainers to the breaking point. So much for this great future every AI vendor promised us 🙄
At a quick glance the community cares more about him hiding commits and doing other nasty things instead of the actual AI stuff. I think that’s important to know before discussing the AI angle here.
Bloomberg previously reported that the vampire shooter’s [Arkane’s Redfall] troubled development grew out of a push by top Bethesda leadership to make a live-service game, a decision that ultimately led to sky-high attrition and multiple delays.
All reward, no risk for the executives demanding that their best-in-class immersive sim developer create an empty live service shooter. Stupid decision led to predictable outcome and the workers feel the ax for it.
as a life long gamer who has had to ‘grow up’ and learn trades to survive and pay bills. it would be hella fun and possibly cathartic to mess with a free game engine. I’ve been playing games for 30 years. Maybe it’s time i take all that knowledge and frustrate myself on a passion project. Thank You Unity for showing me GODOT.
Rarely I’ll see something that I’ll go “that sounds like an interesting concept for a game” and then click on it and it’s just porn. It kills a lot of interest I have in using steam to discover new games because a decent chunk of them turns out to be porn
they are all either labeled as porn or censored so you have to click and show your age, but its always very obvious that its porn, also hidden by default I thought
I mean, I have several MA, and it’s Mortal Kombat or something, so when I click a rogue like and it asks for age, im just thinking it has gory finishers, but instead…it has gory finishers =/
When the flip did porn become so prevalent on Steam!?
Someone else had mentioned it was hidden by default, but also gave instructions on how to turn it back off. I must have turned it on at one point when messing around with settings and just forgotten, either that or one of the few times i’ve loaned the profile to close friends they turned it on
You enabled in your settings to see porn, steam keeps it disabled by default. They even give 3 different options for the level of prudishness that you want. Go to store preferences and disable sexual content and you’re done.
Oh damn, i can’t believe i never found these settings with how often i mess with mine. Thanks! I’ve been itching to lose those for a while but figured it just wasn’t an option
You enabled in your settings to see porn, steam keeps it disabled by default. They even give 3 different options for the level of prudishness that you want. Go to store preferences and disable sexual content and you’re done.
you need to adjust your store content settings to hide these games. Adult games are hidden by default so you must have enabled it. You can filter out adult games and not see these things.
Must of click that thinking it was like MA games but uh adult games are a different mix. Clicked the preview on one, rogue games are my favorite but there’s not a ton, and oh boi that’s something you dont want to preview in the 65 OLED in the living room with your wife.
In less demanding titles like Dead Cells the difference is absolutely insane jumping from 2 hours 47 minutes on Windows to 7 hours 8 minutes on SteamOS.
Considering how indie friendly the deck is, this is a huge loss for MS. All other things equal that difference would easily make me drop windows.
How big is the battery on the legion go? The deck’s battery drains so quickly I wouldn’t be surprised if it couldn’t last 7 hours even in the home screen.
So 7 hours on that battery would be approximately 5 hours on the deck.
I’ll download dead cells here to see how long the deck can run it in one charge, but I doubt it’ll reach anywhere close to five hours with the default settings.
