ASUS is just not getting my money till they ditch the ArmouryCrate bullshit.

Oh no, Grandma’s bitlocker will be vulnerable when the attacker gets physical access to her machine!

Hopefully it’ll be in auch better cooling situation than your laptop.

I don’t think steam has any anti-competitive behavior that I’m aware of.

Fortnite has roughly 100 million more monthly active users than steam, to say nothing of every piece of software running Unreal Engine, Epic is huge.

Who cares about the backing if it has no effect on anything?

It’s more illustrating that Epic isn’t underfunded. I don’t know anything about steam in China.

The multi-billionaire owner with the backing of the Chinese government is claiming that he’s the underdog against a popular company/piece of software/GabeN. He’s made some poor choices interacting with the community.

Yes, it’s probably nice for a publisher to have a guaranteed income, which is why they sell exclusivity. It leaves a sour taste in my mouth, so I choose not to support it.

The rest about the launcher being bad sounds unhinged to me, but some people are really into that.

They bought Rocket League and actively made it worse.

Google does, not sure what’s up with apple.

The 30% covers storage, distribution, discovery, and probably more. If you had to implement that yourself you’d wind up with a shittier version for probably more money.

Yeah the gear upgrade system was even more convoluted before they reduced some confusion. I just wish we could do things without just filling our bags.

I have a 3080 that is maxing out in BG3, my buddy’s 3070 overheated

OWL dying is a shame, I was excited for it, and right when they were about to do the games in the proper cities COVID stopped that, then whoever was asleep at the wheel let the GOATS meta run an entire season when it should have been stopped by a rule change after one match, destroying any desire to watch further.

Super pumped about this, can’t wait to get this semester over with so my group can finish BG3 and get into this. We played the first one a ton, and adding a fourth will be nice!

I have the pixel 8 pro case from Google, it’s nice. Just makes it grippy.

Their built in apps, the red cable stuff, the multi-press screenshot gesture that I can’t disable.

The phone is still crazy fast for it’s age, but I wanted a no-compromise camera, and 5g, wireless charging, the call screening stuff.

Basically it’s just time for an upgrade.

You can’t turn off their multi-press screenshot thing, and they install their apps and un-disable them, trying to figure out which messages or contacts app is the right one is annoying.

Don’t get me wrong, the phone is still impressively fast, but some of the newer tech, specifically camera, 5g, wireless charging, and the call screening style stuff is what I’m after.

Pre-ordered a Pixel 8 Pro with the watch. I’ve had this OnePlus 7 Pro since it launched and I want the new features and a really fucking good camera. I’d also like to get away from OnePlus’ bullshit, but all in all it’s been a fantastic phone. Still very fast.

We’ve agreed to not argue about whether it’s a good idea.
