True, if you wanna play games with really high requirements you need to cough up mu h more than 700 euros, I’m just saying the Steam Deck is better value than a PlayStation.

Or a steam deck. The cheapest option for that is like a bit under 400 I think and it doubles as a PC while having a massive library of games plus emulation.

I never heard of it and searching for it on Steam doesn’t give any results so I’m guessing it’s not even available here.

My first though was “Hell yea, another Pillars of Eternity game” then I remembered that Deadfire has been out for a long time and Avowed was announced a while ago.

1. Skyrim with a ton of mods
2. Stellar is with a ton of mods
3. Minecraft with a ton of mods

I would pick Baldur’s Gate 3 if I can bring my wife to play with me, then we may actually get to act 3 by the 5th year and not even need another game.

Even if bans like this pass it will take several decades after those bans for ICE vehicles to actually disappear. The vast majority of cars sold here are used and buying one that’s 2 decades old is not uncommon. Until battery replacements become affordable the people who are buying used aren’t going to use EVs because those replacements cost more than a used ICE car.

Sony already stopped selling their games in my country due to them not wanting to put Estonia in the PSN country selection list but I guess I’ll pirate their games even harder or something.

Fair enough, that’s a sense you build up over time with some plunder, or at least it was for me.

If you wanna try Sims 4 I’m using Sims 4 updater by anadius, that gets everything you need and keeps everything up to date (while having less of a footprint than Origin).

I have exactly the same issues with Sims 3. My PC is pretty much as powerful as it’s gonna get but Sims 3 with all the performance tweaks and mods just won’t run properly, it’s downright unplayable. Too bad it’s my favourite Sims.

Does anyone actually buy the Sims games? Like the full game costs a fortune, just sail the high seas, EA shouldn’t get a cent.

Germany really is cooked. You guys got the nazi party 2 electric boogaloo so close to being in power that it’s ridiculous, your green party shuts down nuclear only to start shoving excessive amounts of coal into atmosphere, you guys took such wrong lessons from the holocaust that now you are just defending another genocide because a Jewish ethnostate is doing it and now this.

I really like 4X games but nothing new in that genre has really drawn me in. Stellaris was the last one that I really played a ton of and still do. I actually wanna start a new game with all the new expansions but playing without Gigastructures is heresy, hope it gets updated soon.

So what Sony is saying is that I should just pirate the game since there is no legal way to buy it?

Yea, I have zero hope that Sony has dropped this completely. They will most likely wait for the attention to die down and push it through, that’s just how these shit companies work. Even their wording is ambiguous enough to mean that.

Personally I’d prefer if games used more stylized graphics like pixel art or hand drawn stuff. That’s not worse in graphical quality but better imho while not needing a supercomputer to run. Spiritfarer is still one of the prettiest games I have played and it runs on the switch.

Going with stylized graphics instead of trying to do photorealism also makes the game age way more gracefully. Bastion for example still looks amazing while there’s a reason Oblivion npcs are a meme.

You know what’s a really good defence: Not being based in the fucking US.

I used to work in private companies and any annual pay increase was whatever the union managed to negotiate for. It was usually between 1% - 3%. I quit after they moved the office to another city and required everyone to be at the office even though the people I worked with were in different countries. My current job is a government one and for as long as I have worked here I have gotten an annual raise of 10% - 20% and the working conditions are so much better. I’m never working in a private company again.

Fuck nazies appropriating shit. People should stop associating things with nazies instead of not being able to enjoy things. Like apparently runic script is associated with nazies for some god forsaken reason and I have a old native myth tattooed in runes on my arm. I have gotten tons of weird looks and I was very confused until someone accused me of being a nazi.

Why smell good if not for smelling?
