Reminds me of Guns of Icarus, but on land and extraction shootery.

Sure this is about protecting their bottom line. However the argument that this contradicts the Apple vs Epic verdict seems sound.

OMG it’s finally happening !

The Defenders ensemble cast mini-series happen between S2 and S3. That does not in fact answer your question, but hey stuff happens there.

Yeah, that’s PR-speak for “our game design and/or performance does not scale well to more than 3 players”.

In the middle of their marketing blitz they try and cover all their bases I guess.

Same here. My main issues with Anthem were the technical issues at launch and that they abandoned it so fast.

I really enjoyed the gameplay and visuals. I sometimes fire it up again, only to find I already know pretty much all this game has to offer.

Like every PvE game which does not have hundreds of people working to churn out content, its playerbase will dwindle until only those who do not get bored by its gameplay stick around. Whether it’s Left 4 Dead, Payday, Deep Rock Galactic or Vermintide, those types of games follow this pattern…

And I for one, see no fucking issue with that. It’s a great game, people play it until they have had their fill and then move on. Helldivers 2 is only an outlier because of how hard it hit at launch. It absolutely does not have the content pipeline to keep a large playerbase engaged, so yeah it will not keep printing a lot of money, just a little bit every now and then.

Now excuse me as I go and spread some managed democracy.

On the other end of that spectrum, I have been playing this game on and off for the last 12 years.

That mod is the reason I played Elden Ring in the first place. The Souls games’ reputation and gimped co-op had kept me from them. Seamless co-op turned Elden Ring into one of the best shared multiplayer adventures I have ever had.

Bought these to make the most out of those shipping costs. I do not tinker all that much, but having adequate tools like those certainly is a big help.

I also used them to replace the sticks of a Nintendo Switch joy cons with hall effects ones. I saw that similar components are available for the SD, but I currently have no drift problem, so …

I am not aware of better options than the Huaying fan for an OG Steam Deck LCD. Did you have something specific in mind ?

Not sure what you mean. I got this one: https://www.ifixit.com/products/steam-deck-original-model-fan?variant=39723201658983

It was setup as a desktop PC for my kid, (official dock, 1080p display, kb+m) for the last year and a half. Bit of an experiment on my part here, because I was curious to know if it was really viable.

The short answer is: yeah, kinda, but with big caveats.

The long answer is:

• It’s alright to watch youtube, browse the web and such.
• It’s perfectly fine for creative tools (GIMP, OpenShot, Libreoffice, etc).
• It’s unsuited for games kids actually want to play (no Fortnite, no more Roblox as of this year, no Valorant, etc).
• It’s surprisingly unreliable. We have had frequent issues (once every two weeks or so), with peripherals suddenly stopping to work for no apparent reason, or the system being slowed waaaay down. Turning it off and on again worked most of the time, but that is not something I expected from a Linux-based machine.

It was fairly obvious, but at least now it’s spelled out. I for one can wait for the best version to release.

tl;dr: Watch what you put online and who you friend, especially on Steam. Once it’s on the internet, it’s there forever.

That right here is very much what it boils down to. Whether it’s SteamHistory or The Internet Archive or whatever public or private data store… Any information you publish is out of your control as soon as you do.

“Bomb” as in “not selling” ? That ship has sailed a long time ago, hasn’t it ? They made hundreds of millions through that “crowdfunding” scheme of theirs already.

Point-and-click movement has been a staple of “Diablo-like” action-rpgs since the 90s. However I recently found out that I enjoyed them more when playing with a controller like they were a top-down twin-stick shooter, starting with Lost Ark. I don’t know about “more precise”, but it feels more natural to handle the positioning with direct control instead of pointing towards the destination.

Aaaand off the wishlist it goes.

Here’s the late TB piece on the original game: WTF Is… - Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons ?

I do not know, but the Vinegar people give it straight:

Also last time around Wine support was broken for like 6 months and no one found a workaround. It was Roblox devs who re-enabled it later.

This game is so good I can’t stop playing, even through its server woes and annoying bugs.
