Probably so, there are a few native Linux builds on Steam that don’t have feature parity or segregate multiplayer for silly reasons. (Total War: Warhammer III for example uses an entirely different method to generate random numbers in the native Linux build so you need to use proton to play with ‘friends’ on Windows)

HE uses like 25% more power compared to the usual sensor. Meaning a huge decrease of about 2% in joycons battery life.

Nintendo doesn’t want to use Hall for the same reason neither of the Steam Decks have, the increased power consumption. From there it was easy for them to justify a magnetic locking mechanism for the new joycons.

But also fuck Nintendo

The first game was like RPG soul food. It didn’t do anything new, the gameplay was fine and the story wasn’t bad. Nothing innovative but nothing poorly executed. I think people should look to the game as explanation for why Nintendo doesn’t make the ‘normal Mario game’ they want. Innovation is the simplest way to dress up a game, even if you like the loop it’s healthier if the sequel is different.

I think I remember reading about something like that. The label on the back said processed apricot pits or something like that. But now that you mention it I think there was headline about the seed material used in exfoliating gels of the time never actually being cellulose or anything biodegradable.

People say Irish spring smells like a urinal cake, but I really liked when they put ground up seeds in their bodywash. It was like the cheapest exfoliating gel at the time and the scent was great

Fiji is amazing. Very floral without being too sweet for me

I had a similar experience with the final boss of the Elden Ring DLC. Tried to beat him like 200 times and then quit playing for several months.

Fair use is a defense in US copyright cases, it’s a precedent not an allowance or law

Yeah these mods sound like they’re worth my time

The controls really are awful, not sure how console folks can enjoy the game

The PS5 version of GTAV came to PC recently

What’s infuriating to me is how casual the paywalls have become. Everyone wants a slice, even the folks who make cheat tables for singleplayer video games have an early access patreon. If you’re not getting a paycheck you better make it a side hustle.

Don’t forget to tip your friend when you laugh at their joke, they aren’t doing it for free.

I had a similar issue where a dead PC was resurrected after swapping the power cable. It’s never been a fix since, but I still try it.

And before someone compares the volume or footprint to a laptop: if you get a case for the steam deck with a kickstand, there are places you can stick it that a laptop could only hope to perch anxiously at best.

Dragon’s Dogma 2 and Wilds both run terribly and are their most open-world games. For whatever reason it seems the engine isn’t suited to large areas with multiple entities. Not sure if that explains Rise however.

If you have a blog or memoir, I would love to peruse it

What’s interesting to me about this and other features is that they all actually benefit Valve, as long as the EU/Australia require them to issue refunds upon request. Without refunds then these features are simply charity, but presently it’s good business.

Yeah they’re full of ‘critical support’ for anything that obstructs US foreign policy. Regardless of how many workers may die in the process. Amazing that they can call themselves communists and ignore revolutionary defeatism.

I would caution against self hosting email long term. It’s fine for the educational value but there’s a lot of annoying obstacles you can encounter repeatedly even after everything is established.
