I don’t understand why people are suddenly praising Gamefreak for this “miraculous” update, that fixed everything, when in reality it took a 10 year jump in hardware, and a slightly increased Pokemon density. Do these people think Xenoblade Chronicles ran on magic and unicorn dust, or some secret performance mode that only gets unlocked for that game?

It would be yet another spit in the face, if they released a 80$ base game, with the typical 2 season passes, totaling almost 300$ in dlcs of questionable quality. But I wouldn’t hold my breath for anything, because it’s 2K and Gearbox we’re talking about

Bloodthief ended up being exactly as fun as I’ve expected

At some point, it will only be worth it, if you either finish games at an alarming rate, or play so many different games, that buying them separately would make no sense

Probably not. Steam for macOS still has no SteamPlay support, so your best bet is installing the regular Steam through a separate Heroic prefix. Works great, but it does still require Rosetta.

That said, Box64 and FEX are both making a lot of progress, so it’d be awesome to see these in action officially soon

Was this not already common sense?

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not suggesting that they should just say okay, installing instagram from a Limewire download is the intended path now.

Using AUR or Nixpkgs to install your stuff is perfectly acceptable to me, for these exact reasons. You have a choice, you’re choosing your preference, and at the end of the day you get a vetted source from a trusted repository.

Choice is what matters to people, and it’s being taken away from them. But even beyond that, if i wanted to install an “unsupported/untrusted” app on my device, that should fully be my choice

I still hate the term “sideloading”, when used in this context. You don’t “sideload” anything on your computer. You just install things, from wherever you damn desire.

They only started using the term here, to gaslight people into thinking that installing mobile apps from sources, other than the ones that give Apple money, is somehow insecure

I’m sure the game will be fun enough, for people who want this experience regularly, but the price is just outlandish. There’s barely any innovation, version over version, and yet they are asking near double the money that Larian ask for Baldur’s Gate 3 today

80$ for Mario Kart is absolutely mental

I use Nix on my M1 Pro machine, and it’s by far my favorite laptop yet. The company and their business practices absolutely do suck though.

That said, there is certainly a middle ground for software there. I hate windows as much as the next guy, but macOS is at least Unix-adjacent, so it’s not a complete pain

Going from a GBC to a GBA SP was absolutely unreal. A backlit display, and a rechargeable battery? Say less

A Deck will likely be a better purchase for you. Shared library, more sales too. The Cities Skylines situation you’ve described would have been enough to make that decision for me

Sarasa Gothic + Iosevka for just about everything

I love OSS but I won’t sacrifice my experience just to go fully libre. Sometimes it just doesn’t make sense. I’m glad it’s an option for people who do want that though

For games you’re playing through Steam, no additional steps are required, apart from enabling Steam Input support in the controller settings. Your pad should be detected automatically

Play Anywhere ™️

Except for countries where we don’t allow you to

That makes a lot more sense now. Love me a project with a fun story behind it

It’s always the paying customers, who get absolutely shafted. Wouldn’t be any other way, in modern society

Orange juice is nothing like apple juice, and yet both still sell
