I feel like one of those isn’t like the others

Maybe I’m not aware of similar configurations you can do, but it’s only sorta it’s own container. VSCode can actually directly connect to it automatically so you can develop in host os but run directly against the container. Additionally this means some visualization/gui interfaces can be visible on the host side (this is a gift and a curse).

So you basically have system integrated containers/vms. It’s not perfect, but it is definitely leagues better than what windows development was prior and may have some advantages over Linux only deployments (not sure if the system integrations are feasible in Linux hosts).

I’ve been saying this since it released. Cool mechanics, but boring world and gameplay. I’m still a bit salty about the loss of real dungeons, nothing in BOTW or TOTK feel as memorable as the previous games.

Did they actually do that with Leisure Suit Larry? Cause that’s kinda funny.

I think the FarCry games meet all of your requirements (which means the Avatar game by Ubisoft probably would too)?

The Doom games also have an upgrade system (not sure if any released on PS5).

They should just release metroid prime 5 at this point. Literally dump you into the game as if 4 actually existed.

The download feature is always in some state of broken, but it has gotten a lot better over the past couple of years. If you haven’t tried it in a year or so, you may have better luck now.

Don’t know if you ended up watching it, but effectively they’re able to randomly execute code during the loading screen using a bug caused by audio generation vs controller polling. So by using TAS tools they can spam the controller to cause an audio bug that let’s them jump to executing code from Ram that they are able to manipulate using controller inputs.

TLDR: Using a bug in the audio processing, they can use controller inputs to write arbitrary code that jumps them to the end of the game.

I mean I’ve always had an issue that digital goods could always be revoked/taken back. That’s why I didn’t buy things on steam until it became basically the only way (as consoles have less physical media). This is just a great reminder for the public that we’re consistently loosing control over our digital lives.

I’ve been an advocate for forcing companies to change the wording for digital goofs to “lease” rather than “buy”. Cause at the end of the day, no one owns their steam library.

My understanding is that it’s a difficult feature to support and they can’t guarantee it works well. That’s the only explanation I’ve ever seen, cause to me it’s almost critical for working on a laptop.

Yeah most likely, but I wouldn’t say their online services work well.

I dont get why hibernate isn’t a more popular feature, I use it extensively as I hate having to set everything back up on each restart.

Its also one of my biggest issues with using Linux as it’s usually broken there.

Not a demake or a game, but there is a “Mummy Demastered”, which is a Metroidvania demake of the Tom Cruise mummy movie. It’s actually decent and considered better than the movie.

I wouldn’t have an issue with many different communications platforms if they didn’t all require an account (also Discord not being indexable sucks).

If you played and liked any game like dead cells or rouge legacy, then Hades should be worth it.

Its basically an action rpg rougelite with a lot of unlock ables, story directly tied to the die/repeat cycle, and lots of interesting challenges.

If you like rougelikes then you’ll get your money out of it. Honestly it’s worth more than that, but it does go on sale occasionally and they’ve already released (in early access) a sequel Hades 2.

Yeah that’s right, seems my link didn’t populate right.

For those who aren’t familiar with the word, it comes from the 1961 scifi novel “Stranger in a Strange Land”.

It’s been a really sad console generation. It could be because I got a steam deck, but only Nintendo seems to be putting out 1st party games that are any good (and even then it’s been hit or miss).

I also think most people don’t see the market, it’s only got this amount of attention on phones because of the success on steam.

A odd side note, someone was pretty clever and found a way to port the steam version to ios and Android well before the official port - https://retrohandhelds.gg/how-to-install-balatro-on-android-and-ios/. I’ll admit to having used this to play on my phone over the summer, but definitely bought it again once it hit the app store.
