Honestly I just don’t want to spend $400 or whatever on such a single-purpose device.
I realize people use “desktop” OS’s to do all sorts of nefarious things but if your solution is to require that I buy incredibly-narrowly usable device to run the games I want to play, I’m just going to play them nefariously and not feel bad about it 🤷 and everytime you sue someone who makes that possible it just reinforces my decision.
I’m not usually a huge fan of rogue-likes, but I’ve enjoyed a few, like Hades. I bought Balatro last week and have been absolutely smashing it ever since then. I love the way the game works, each run being so different even within the same framework, and the feeling when your build starts to go off is so incredibly...
Holy fuck, that price though. How about an open source wireless VR headset that’s…wait for it…just a headset, that runs on whatever computer you connect it to?
Thousands of hours on high brightness with a static image and it will start to retain elements of the image.
The torture test is important but what ya boi needs to do now is to create a more realistic test. Using static elements for maybe 6 hours at a time every day. That’s still “torture” as most users are probably not playing the same game for that long, but still within the realm of possibility.
You’ll definitely have users gaming on the thing for 8+ hours every day
Yes, that’s exactly my point. Definitely some but not many.
Like I said, you might as well just wait for users to report their experiences.
Report them to whom, exactly? Not everyone is going to hop onto the internet to publicly report their issues. How are you going to account for the conditions? What if there’s nothing to report?
I don’t care about skins like, at all. And intentionally leave my characters with whatever the defaults are just to show other people how much I don’t care.
But definitely in my younger years wanted whatever was the hot thing at the time. I remember at one point it was yo-yos. And the “TalkBack” from Home Alone. And Furby. And Tomagotchi.
Yeah I have to disagree with you on that one. I understand where you’re coming from but you can game on high end equipment without buying it. Not to mention the situation with heat build-up in my room. Basically sharing the costs with 100 other users.
When my current PC is dead in 5 years or whatever I will probably transition to cloud gaming (and SteamDeck).
instead of defaulting to my local server, manually chose one in Europe, and sure enough Europe had many available servers, I could play in again like if it was the first state
Yes, it possibly would be considered more logical, but people who threaten kids over videogames aren’t generally considered to be working with an abundance of logical thought.
You’re just repeating yourself.
“Logical” is not a binary position. It’s a spectrum.
You already don’t own your games. Or much of anything else really. You purchase a license to use the product.
At any time the people who sell you these products decide they don’t want to offer their products or services, if they want to abandon them altogether, if they want to brick your hardware and not accept responsibility, if they want to remove features, if they want to add new paywalls, they can do all of these things and see no repercussions.
The only thing you can do is wait until the game has demonstrated that it might be worth what they’re charging, buy a copy from a DRM-free store, then create a local/cloud backup.
Just sharing my method on how I bought my Steam Deck OLED for 3/4 of the original price. I was skeptical when I read about it, but decided to try it and it took me a few good hours trying not to screw it up, but it worked out in the end. Maybe someone can benefit from it, but it has some risks.
You spent less dollars but spent more time doing work and were paid in Steam credits. Dollars are not the only currency. That’s not the same as buying it for less money. The title is misleading.
Hell yeah. I’ll never buy an Epic game but I’ll take the free ones all day. And they’ve had some bangers this week. And Guardians of the Galaxy was an amazing game (with a handful of glitches) I was happy to pay $30 for. For free it’s a no-brainer.
Run them all through heroic Launcher so you don’t have to install the shitty Epic launcher spyware.
You’re not understanding what I’m saying. I’m not talking about “fiddling, trying and testing”. I’m talking about spending your time browsing web forums and wikis in a browser. That is not a part of gameplay, that is external research.
