Said this in the privacy forum as well, but I’m honestly flabbergasted that there’s no way to remove items from the “recents” tab of the files app without outright deleting them from your phone entirely. And the “recents” tab in the preview app shamelessly displays files previewed from apps and directories marked as hidden.
Language is something you can teach, but it isn’t really something that’s easily controlled. The term “OS” already means something like ‘a space that lets you interact with and manage apps and services on a personal computing device’ for most people. This is the case because of how its used with Apple, Google, Windows, Steam, Meta, etc…
So the literal operating systems of other kinds of equipment, such as a vending machine, might eventually end up with its own moniker if the distinction becomes important enough to matter.
Lmao
Metal Gear Solid and Kojima games in general. I think it’s a Kojima trait to make his games feel more like work than fun.
I managed to get into Death Stranding (on my second attempt) and came to understand the vibe. But I have little interest in delving into the sequel until I’m a retired old man looking for some purpose to life.
I am very interested in what he does with movies, though.
I hate Microsoft and I would consider buying it if I can purge it of windows and install Steam OS on it. :)
My assumption is that it’s a living room PC with a windows equivalent of steam big-picture mode on it.
But knowing Microsoft, there will be shenanigans.
The most ram I’ve ever had in any computer is 16gb, but I just make documents and do minor photo editing. Would YouTubers and video editors be the kind of folk to make use of 512gb? Seems like an insane number.
Why does that foot have a hole in it?? Shoot it!!!
Is there actual evidence that you’ll actually be able to play PC games from competing store fronts? I’m enough of a corpo skeptic to expect this to turn out to be a locked down PC that exclusively operates through the Microsoft store.
You want some reasons why they shouldn’t? The PS5 is wildly successful. Moving to PC means they need to migrate the PS store to PC with all their players and their libraries as well, probably renegotiating on publishing rights for every game on PS, spending all that money, and then ultimately end up with fewer customers, 70% on Sony titles and nothing from third parties sold to people playing on Steam.
Or they can just keep doing what they’re doing and get 100% on Sony titles, 30% on everything else, and remain the dominant gaming destination for most households.
I think this is more about user retention than additional sales. In a world where PC players stay on PC and console players stay on console, porting games to PC makes sense. However, with Steam OS making things easy and Microsoft’s plans for making the next Xbox a consoled-PC, there’s a much higher risk of PS players migrating to PC -particularly if their favorite exclusives are landing there anyway. And of course there’s no indication that PC players will ever invest in a console unless there are exclusives.
Furthermore, with rising costs of computer parts, Sony might have to subsidize their hardware a little bit more than they’re comfortable with, and that means they need players in their store buying games and not buying games from Steam.
And finally, it’s worth mentioning that Sony fumbled bad with first party games this gen, meaning the PS5’s success has been carried solely on the backs of 3rd parties. If PS players were to buy a Steam Machine, they would have almost no reason to ever buy a PS again unless Sony starts giving them a reason to.
So as much as it disgruntles all of us to not be able to buy all our games exactly where we want, it’s probably a smarter investment for Sony as a video game company to not be porting their games to PC.
Then it seems that Nintendo is also in the extreme minority by claiming this guy’s efforts have done them any harm. How they won this is beyond me.
Nintendo’s asinine anti-consumer anti-piracy measures are probably causing more harm to the company than this guy ever did.
I might have actually bought a Switch 2 if Nintendo hadn’t pissed me off with their pricing and game cart shenanigans.
But it’s not hard to find examples of similar games that don’t reach server-crashing levels of popularity. Axiom Verge, for one. Beautiful art, runs on anything, affordable, no modern fuckery. It’s also a metroidvania. Not to imply it’s a better game, but I personally enjoyed it way more than Hollow Knight.
Clearly the Japanese shouldn’t be making all our Japanese games! We need American businesses making Japanese games!
No one’s silencing him, though right? They’re just reacting to what he said, which is consequence. Is this somehow challenging his right to make his voice heard?
Imagine having access to terminal on your iPhone. That would be awesome.
I haven’t been a real borderlands fan since 2. The gameplay is fun enough, but the dialogue kind of gets cringy after a while.
I’ve decided amongst this push to $80 games that even $70 is too rich for me. With very few exceptions, the only launch games I will allow myself to buy will be the $40-50 ones. Otherwise I will just wait until the $70+ ones that interest me to get there on their own. If i lose the urge to play them in the meantime, oh well. Money saved.
There are just sooooo many great games out there at much better prices.
In the meantime, put all your files in a folder, compress it to a zip file, then delete the original file. Any time you want to view your stuff, you’ll have to unzip it, then delete the folder afterwards. That seems to remove all trace from your recents.
