Youtubers, nah, they’ve got bills to pay and won’t ever bite the hand that feeds.

Steam reviews are probably the least biased.

Anyone know what the AI is like?

I use Backgammon Machine on iOS since it has a pretty decent ML-based AI, which can be very hard (but is limited too, it can become predictable)

Shrek, Despicable Me, Every Disney movie ever, would also like a word.

The best kids movies are ones that put jokes in for the Adults forced to watch them - it shows they care about their audience, even the incidental one.

There is also the mediocre story, but hopefully they’ll learn the lesson that no, we don’t want something as automagically powerful as a dragonborn or whatever, it worked for skyrim sure, but it’s a not something needed in every title.

Working from a zero prisoner to hero was always the goal and should be again.

People wanted NMS, they wanted NMS to be good.

It was a let down when it wasn’t.

No one wanted this. No one thought it would be good.

It was a laugh when it failed.

They aren’t the same.

Concorde ran for 34 years, with only a single accident.

This lasted less than a bunch of Concord grapes. Maybe only the British resolve at the Battle of Concord would be less.

ms_lane, 2 miesiące temu do games w How to decide what kind of controller one should purchase?

• Microsoft has their own controller protocol, xinput, it only works with xbox and PC
• Sony and Nintendo both use BT HID, but add their own non-standard extras to deal with trackpads and gyros, on PC there are drivers to deal with this (inc. w/Linux kernel, extra on Windows)
• For Wireless, Sony and Nintendo both use standard Bluetooth, you can pair a Switch or PS4/5 controller straight to a PC (though you will need extra software on Windows)
• Microsoft uses either their somewhat proprietary 802.11AC implementation (only works with their dongles - you will need extra software on Linux, fully supported in Windows ootb) or standard Bluetooth, their BT has the highest latency of any of the 3 major controllers, but their 5ghz 802.11AC has the lowest. BT mode requires no extra drivers and will work fine ootb on Linux or Windows. You can’t use a headset plugged into the controller or connected by BT (to the controller) if you’re connecting the controller via BT.
• MS has additional trigger rumbling/tension on the Xbox One/Series controllers, in Windows it will only work with MS Store apps - it won’t work on any Steam game :( on Linux it will work, but nothing really supports it either.
• Sony has a much better implementation in the PS5 controller, nothing outside Sony published games use it though - but it’s compatible on Windows with additional drivers (DS4Win) (not sure about Linux here)
• For Nintendo Switch on Windows you will need BetterJoy (previously, BetterJoyForCEMU) to support switch controllers properly, this also makes a DS4Win style gyro server, so anything that support ds4win will support Switch gyro too.

ms_lane, 2 miesiące temu do games w Can you trust Valve? Honest criticism of Steam.

Also quite a few games have worse or non-updated versions on GoG (this isn’t GoG/CDPRojeckt’s fault, but it’s still a pain factor)

Similarly, sometimes the Linux or MacOS ports for a game don’t make it to GoG while the Windows version does.
