The Switch 2 having already outsold the Steam Deck at a 5:1 ratio shows that, as awesome as the hardware that Valve makes is, they simply aren’t pushing it in a way that will capture the mainstream. They can certainly “win” the console generation by making a device that is better than the PS5, but they have 10+ years of work ahead of them if they want to win any console generation in terms of units sold.

Excellent read. Makes me wonder of the forgotten or underappreciated place of games that are meant to only take a few hours and then exit your life forever: games like Journey and others that take only a few hours to beat. They’re completely antithetical to this style of design.

People Make Games did a much better job on reporting the issues with Roblox.

I think the real issue is how Roblox takes advantage of kids lack of knowledge about microtransactions and FOMO to create a generation of free-to-play dupes while also exploiting anyone that makes content for them, but that’s just my opinion.

Him as Harry Mudd would be fantastic, I could also see him as a good Klingon sometime.

“👊🇺🇸🔥” to committing war crimes, Americae delenda est.

For me it’s the opposite: I’m always shocked when broadly different people end up aligning on certain similar traits along multiple axes. Like conlanging and Linux or trans girls and communism.

May be a group of bugs, I’m still struggling with it on my 6700 XT.

Got excited thinking they had finally fixed the rendering bug that causes the UI to slow to a crawl on desktop GPUs on Linux, but no.

Being able to run the editor on VR headsets while doing development is a crazy gamechanger for those platforms. If you pair a keyboard and mouse it really does turn it into a real computing platform that lets you develop new apps on device.

I really haven’t understood the reactions I’ve seen to the game. To me it’s a really tight, interwoven, streamlined action-RPG that checks so many boxes for me that other games haven’t tried to touch for years. 9/10 from me personally. It’s been wild seeing the incredibly lukewarm reaction everywhere else.

It’s WordPress running on a Raspberry Pi with Yunohost.

Yeah! audiovalentine.com I use it as a personal blog and a portfolio of all the music I’ve produced over the years. Very indie web feel. Hoping to expand it to more topics and uses. And it’s on the fediverse!

I was saying death to Windows.

Hell, in Canada they don’t care at all either.

I’ve always thought she had one of the most beautiful voices in media.

I was here before the Reddit API kerfuffle, because I care about an open and decentralized internet.

Just bought Riven, I’m liking it quite a lot so far. I see why it’s a classic. Love the feeling of being dropped into a completely alien world.
