Well that specific hack sounds like it would be trivial to check for server side…

Sucks to be told you fell behind, but guess what, you did! Just like 5 GB used to be enough, then 50, then 100… Guess what, you want all those fancy videos and cutscenes and graphics? Oh shit, they take space. Omg.

We are literally in a comment thread about how fancy graphics don’t need to take up 100+ GB. Like, come on dude.

But we’re not talking about compressing data. Just not wasting storage by having duplicate data in there. And I fail to see how it is a user’s problem when it’s the developers who are introducing the issue to begin with. If you are sold a product with an easily fixable problem from factory, you don’t take it accept the fault as your own.

I got 4TB of total storage, but i struggle severely with storage between all the car and flight sims with mods, multiplayer games with massive installs, and enormous single player games.

Maybe the new shadow warrior games, or painkiller series. I imagine any game made in the past decade would play just fine on a controller. God of War, while having quite a bit of narrative is still very much an arena fighter. The new doom games, while not third person, also fit that slot very nicely. Star Wars Fallen Order is quite souls-like. Helldivers 2 is really fun if you want some casual multiplayer fun. Control might fit the bill. You’re free to wander around, but you can also just follow the quest markers for a streamlined experience with solid combat. I hope one of those games might inspire you! I tend to gravitate towards more first person story driven shooters myself.

Okay there Satan, want to start world war 3 do we?

MOBAs have an ability to draw out my rage like nothing else 😄

I know Discord has it’s flaws, but why would that discredit them from organising a union? Would you referred if they had used Teams or an email chain?

Do I remember right that the special forces add-on was an online only purchase? I’m pretty sure the euro forces one was at least. I remember not having the new weapons for a long time until I could log in to my account on a friends computer with it installed.

Most currencies today are fiat currency. They only got value because they are the official currency of a nation and their government says so and people have the belief it has value. The US dollar used to be backed by gold but was stopped in the 70’s.

I read it the same way you did. If you want to terminate the EULA, then they request you remove your copies of the game. In that snippet it says nothing about them arbitrary demand you delete all your copies.

It’s not because he did anything wrong in wow that people are upset/memeing about, it’s because he’s unable to say “I’m sorry, I could have done better” without including any buts or “the others also messed up”. It has just exposed him as an incredibly self obsessed person.

Well, you wouldn’t get far even trying to run EA WRC on the steam deck, as they added kernel level anti cheat after launch so it’s now incompatible with Linux.

Denuvo will revoke your licence to play a game if it thinks you’ve installed the game on computers with different hardware. Issue is it gets confused by changing the proton version that runs the game, thinking it’s a new install on a new computer, and so quickly bans you from playing the game.

Or Linux 😄 I really liked Game Pass though. Played some great games in there I would either have completely missed or have had to wait years for them to be discounted.

Can’t believe you didn’t build a little outpost on that mountain!

For what reasons other than political would blizzard want to stay on his good side? Or do you think Elon’s money in the cosmetic store would just be that valuable to them?

I am on steam yes. Good shout about getting it on gog though. I do get a fair chunk of shader pre compilation. But not 45 minutes, maybe like 5? And then there is some once the game has launched in a loading screen as well.

Hm. I got a 4070 super and getting 55-60. But I’m also running it straight out the box on Linux, so there will hopefully be a slew of performance gains to be had then. Glad it’s not the game itself running poorly! It does feel a bit more streamlined (kinda like the morrowind -> oblivion transition), but I’m still really enjoying the game so far 4 hours in.

Yeah, I don’t really have a reason to stay with HSBC. A responsible me would look for a bank with better credit card interest. Might as well shop around for a new one.

It’s possible. First example I can think of is NYT’s games app uses their own keyboard. It’s clunky, but if someone is concerned (or data hungry) enough for the users security they certainly could.

Of course there will always be some risk. But HeliBoard and some other keyboard apps are open source and can be audited. I’d trust (I know, you should do your own homework) the more popular ones have a lot of eyes in them.

What? Surely seeing something popping up on steam and buying it happens far more than someone spontaneously buying a game in a store when walking around town/ a mall.

Maybe I’m a recluse, but I can’t remember last time I went into a store that stocks a meaningful amount of games other than second hand shops. Are physical games really that large of a margin anymore?

One of my favorite Let’s Play games. I tried to play it myself for 5 minutes before hard noping out. I’ve become a bit braver since my teens, so maybe I should give it a shot myself some day.

But it’s amazing to see just how far you can push HL’s engine.

I’m not a massive fan of the lean mechanic. I haven’t played the game, but it usually just either slows down the game or it becomes an obligation to continuously wiggle back and forth. Maybe if something like csgo’s jump/duck penalty was in place to make repeated actions slow you down instead.

Oh you’re right! That’s an embarrassing mistake to make. I never got the stealth suit from Old World Blues.

If I recall it’s from the “China invades Alska simulator” one. Can’t remember the name if it. Probably a good sign I need to go replay new Vegas!

Its the publisher. Caught me out at first as well :)

Memory manipulation is very much hacking. Pretty much the form of computer hacking.

Yeah, it’s just Google’s entry for the Apple air tag. I’ll have to read a bit more about it before I decide to turn it on, but from the outset it seems alright.

Who are these “they” that has admitted it’s a bad law?

It’s one of the best recent pieces of privacy legeslation. It’s not the EU’s fault that websites are scumbags insisting on making life difficult for people.

I just want to give a shout out to the Star wars mod Galactic Contention for Squad. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2428425228

It is a bit more involved than your typical battlefront match, but the reward is a Star Wars game we could have only dreamed of in the past. I can’t overstate how good of a mod this is.
