Isn’t AC usage greatly associated with increased global warming? How are they proposing offices be cooled?

Edit - nvm, I actually read the article.

Interesting take. Honestly I don’t think people are ready to entertain the idea that Valve may not the consumer loving, cannot-shoot-themsleves-in-the-face billion dollar tech company their fans seem to paint them as, but to respond to your actual point…

The Steam deck is an open platform so not a guarantee that a new user will result in game sales, it’s possible (but not easy enough imo) to put your weekly free Epic games on there and forego the Steam store. Or pirated games.

Also the Switch 2 sales numbers have been huge and Nintendo have an established reputation among the general population. So they have a better relationship with parts manufacturers (can navigate lower BOMs) and are more guaranteed to make their money back. Valve have no such guarantee.

This price increase is still an obscene amount and I’ll be surprised if people still buy Steam decks going forward. Especially given the state and direction of android gaming.

Does anyone else think he wouldn’t give a shit if it wasn’t Arsenal in the final?

There is also Ex Zodiac: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1249480/ExZodiac/

I think because it’s a metroidvania as opposed to a linear run and gun.

Wait, what? It doesn’t work with non-steam games?

Do you think they started working on Black Flag only after the Shadows reception? Game development takes a lot longer than that.

I need to point out the irony of the song being anti-religion but the comic having Marley, Ghandi and MLK Jr as happy faces for this “better world”. I wonder if this irony is lost on the artist, or this is some deep layer rage-bait.

I get why they have PDFs of their menu, but just transcribe that to a page on the site. It’s really not hard. My phone downloads folder is full of these.

Absolutely agree. My main thought regarding having AI commentators would mean that it could be reactive and fluid, actually incorpating names and actions in a dynamic manner. But it’s just canned responses on repeat to save paying a human to do it. Before they revealed it was AI, I thought it was bad and stilted on purpose. Like some sort of joke, but it’s just plain bad.

Cool. Now do it for The Finals.

Yeah, but imagine a game where you play as Sonic the Hedgehog in A Turn-Based Rock Tour RPG Set in an Alien-Infested 1984.

Oh right, it has nothing to do with Sonic the Hedgehog.

To be fair my current Samsung Galaxy fold 6 has the same message all the time. So did my previous Xperia 5 mk iii. I feel certain chargers were more likely to give that message. Certainly faulty hardware somewhere.

It’s sad that you’re getting downvoted for complimenting Ubisoft. You’re not wrong though, their games (and the Snowdrop engine) are technically incredible. But that doesn’t fit the narrative that Ubisoft are evil, pushing a “woke agenda”, and anyone associated with them should be burnt alive.

What’s better? The devil you know or the devil you don’t?

Gutted, gonna miss the grafitti and smell of piss.

Found the Patient Gamer.

I’m not sure either. The game looks like something that doesn’t interest me at all, but there is some concerted effort to dismiss it. You’ve gotten quite a few down votes just for saying you enjoyed it.
