Honestly I don’t even want to know what cursed abomination it would conceive of me. Probably would think that I look like a DnD nerd, stereotypical computer nerd, or might just draw me as a straight up dragon or dragonborne. Hard to say. Especially since I’ve been using temp chats lately.
I can’t fathom the idea of wanting to play that garbage, let alone spend money on micro-transactions in it, but maybe that’s just me, maybe my brain isn’t smooth enough to find games like that stimulating and entertaining.
Probably also the same reason all the people who have tried and to get me addicted to gambling have failed.
There are a handful of online games I do like to play, generally ones without competitive elements, and I limit online gaming to people I actually know. But yeah most of the games I do play are single-player.
You can play way more than just Aperture Desk Job for free, a lot of games on Steam these days are Free, and I’m not talking about free to play. I’m not sure but I don’t remember there being any full free games on the eshop, F2P yes but developers there never opted to make their games just free. Some devs on Steam absolutely have.
I’ve kind of given up on the idea of playing those types of competitive online games, not just because of people cheating in them but also because of how the community these days addresses cheating, by witch-hunting and accusing people of cheating for being too good, or for sucking at the game, or for having opinions on surveillance and security (sometimes just because for being queer). They also often harass these people they target. I have hundreds of toxic assholes on Steam blocked for this behavior alone because they came to my profile to harass me.
A large majority of Physical games have secretly been made as one-time activation keys, and aren’t really a physical game in any meaningful sense since most of the game isn’t on the disc. Physical games at this point are more of a semantic argument to distract people from the real question, when will online DRM and activation completely take over?
Pretty much every CPU these days has a dedicated GPU, integrated GPUs and APUs just have them on the Same die. So it’s technically correct to say they don’t have a “dedicated graphics chip” but it’s also a bit misleading to say that, implying that they don’t have or need a GPU at all.
Agreed, I really hated this description of PCs with only iGPUs or APUs since they are not “without a graphics card” almost all CPUs nowadays have some kind of integrated graphics solution, some better than others. It’s just that in the past iGPUs have been laughably bad, which is why many people have needed an external one.
I’ve seen this before, though back then they used the original Raspberry Pi Zero and that one was less powerful.
Shameful clickbait article which doesn’t even seem to mention the game that was supposedly shut down. This person should be ashamed for writing this and honestly you should be ashamed for posting it. This is an utterly useless article.
Yeah I wouldn’t say any of the controller or remote control typing implementations are quick or easy. Even on Kodi I use an external keyboard (built into the remote control I got for my libreElec media player).
I never actually bought an AMD card per say but I have been very disappointed with Nvidia and their laptop GPUs. It feels like those things put out more heat than work.
Recently got a laptop with an AMD GPU and CPU and it’s like night and day difference.
I wouldn’t entirely agree, it’s shit because Google and Apple enable the practice by providing app Advertising frameworks and fighting back against people working against those systems (i.e. mobile ad blocking and app firewalls, either through store policy or public discouragement).
Developers are incentivised because advertising both:
Advertising basically takes away the need to sell stuff and allows poaching revenue from people even if they don’t want to support the app. I’ve known many Devs who will try to eek out more revenue by click fraud (auto clicking their own ads).
So I’m not really a fan of implying this is our fault or “devs gotta eat too”. This practice is very much corporate greed.
I don’t think that is the case, I played Minecraft more than any other game on the Deck and it doesn’t show, also didn’t show last year either.
Not exactly the most exciting year for me, I don’t know if non-steam games are counted as “sessions” there, if they aren’t my count might’ve been higher (I played a lot of Minecraft on my Steam Deck).
I think the Era of consoles needs to come to an end and we need to transition to exclusively open PC-based or PC-Like platforms with Dedicated UIs to replicate the console experience (like Steam’s Big Picture) but on an open hardware and software platform.
Either way they’re eroding their credibility very very quickly.
Edit: He literally made a comment claiming he’s going to make a game about a porn studio. I don’t think we can say he isn’t a troll at this point.
I think it’s becoming more and more clear that this user is a troll.
Ah yes the prime example of copyright encouraging creators to keep creating new and unique content, totally not just remaking the same thing over and over for profit.
Also depends highly on the seed (RNG) not all AI generation tools let you choose that but some do. Different seeds can produce wildly different results on the same model even, AI image gen relies heavily on randomness.
