Great, we can finally get multiple videos side by side!

So, no commissions or patreon support if you are drawing fan art, got it.

And a really shitty one, price difference between those two for a manufacturer ordering things in massive quantity is barely anything. Sony saves $5 per console, users lose 20% of their storage.

And it’s not like this is new, Redditmethis (and similar things) has been a thing for, oof, over a decade? Well before all of this AI stuff.

It is not, it’s an officially recognised human right.

Obviously, assuming you have that hill.
Slightly harder to do in places like the Netherlands for example, where the tallest hill is 322 metres, and the second tallest that isn’t part of that same mountain range near the Belgium border is just 110.

And in the US, Florida, Delaware, Louisiana, Mississippi, Indiana, and Illinois are actually flatter than the Netherlands - sure, the highest point in Indiana (Hoosier Hill) is 383 metres from the sea level, but the lowest point in the entire state is 98 metres above.

The only way I could manage my evil dark urge & minthara playthrough was to leave Karlach entirely unrecruited. Not that you could even get that far with her anyway as she doesn’t agree with evil choices and will sooner or later leave.

Yep, that’s why the best selling games consoles with the largest user base for selling all those super expensive AAA games are all the modern ones, like the Playstation 2, Nintendo DS, the Switch and the Gameboy Colour.

Just be thankful they haven’t followed inflation of both the value of money, and their budgets. A $40 NES game would be $120 in todays money and it was probably made in a month by three people in a shed, meanwhile something like CoD Black Ops Cold War credits over 9000 people and had a budget of $700 million. GTA 6 has already blown past a billion.

In fact, video games are currently pretty much the cheapest they’ve ever been, comparatively speaking.

Though nyko should be on the hook to buy you a new switch if they design a piece of shit that wrecks your switch

Nintendo also tried to lock down the Switch 1 docking, and 3rd party manufacturers had to hack together workarounds. "When Nintendo released the original Switch in 2017, accessory makers similarly had to figure out how to crack Nintendo’s esoteric docking protocols, and some of them (Nyko) allegedly led to damaged handhelds."
I’d more blame that for causing the issues in the first place, if the Switch spoke standard USB-C, then all reputable docks would work with no weird hacks.

If it isn’t ridiculously expensive and inefficient, it doesn’t really fit the definition of a triple-a game, because it specifically is the term for games with the highest production values and costs.

From what I’ve read, Waymo isn’t doing too bad of a job at it. They obviously aren’t perfect, but have succeeded at being much safer than human drivers. But those cars have a bazillion different sensors bolted on them, while Tesla is trying to do the same with nothing but a few cameras and computer vision systems.

“412 people (403 professional roles, 9 thanks) with 502 credits.” https://www.mobygames.com/game/241065/clair-obscur-expedition-33/credits/windows/?autoplatform=true

As for those compared budgets, CoD Black Ops Cold War cost $700 million and GTA 6 has already surpassed a billion.

There is an argument to be made that Expedition 33 was essentially created by a studio with 30 people (though once you add everyone that worked on it the credits do balloon to over 400) with a rather small budget, and meanwhile companies like Rockstar, Sony and Activision have thousands working for years and spending hundreds of millions creating games like GTA 6, CoD and Concord, so naturally they should be a lot more expensive to buy too.

They just shouldn’t be surprised if people don’t buy all the $500 Waguy steak on offer and are perfectly happy with way cheaper options.

I do choose carefully, I buy half a dozen indie games on sale instead, and I have nothing to complain about.

Yet it is.

You can go to a company and ask to buy their office building. Or the name trademark. Or staff. Or customer database. Or website. And you continue this until you’ve acquired literally everything the company has except the actual company itself - it’s called an “asset acquisition” - so you get all the stuff, but because the original company technically still exists it’s left with most of the liabilities.
Most, because some liabilities thankfully do transfer.

In this instance:

According to VPNSecure’s owners, their acquisition netted them “the tech, the brand, and the infrastructure/technology—but none of the company, contracts, payments, or obligations from the previous owners.”

…how you can claim not to have gotten the contracts, yet be in a position to cancel them sound a bit of a, well, lie.

Yup.
I’ve spent a good while running Deck in desktop mode compared to my laptop running Manjaro, and so far the only thing I’ve noticed is that the Deck has that handy “add to steam” context menu item that automatically sets a 3rd party game to run in proton through steam.
And there’s an AUR package for that.

So unless there’s something major I’ve managed to miss, Manjaro + that package gets you the entire desktop SteamOS experience on any device.

Better will happen. Cheaper than Meta selling the Quest 2/3s at a loss for $300 because they bank on the walled garden of the Oculus app store for profit? Rather unlikely.

Especially now that every VR headset seems to be a standalone and the simple “HDMI cable to a PC” doesn’t really seem to exist any more, so you have to pay for the mandatory integrated gaming tablet as well.

Discord -> Matrix or Revolt.

Though Discord is trying to be an everything-app these days so “alternatives” to it include old school forums, wikis, screen sharing programs, IRC, Mumble/TeamSpeak, file sharing site etc if you just keep spliting individual parts of it off.
