I recall an interview back during the wii/ds era where someone at Nintendo was asked how they felt their online service compared to psn and xbl at the time and their response was that they had never used them.

I usually pick something on the wall just to the side of their head and then I get too focused on that and then the conversation is over and I have no idea what just happened.

As a steam deck owner, the vita is the only other portable I still use regularly.

Still almost 16 hours to go here, not gonna happen.

I use both and find yt music is far better for discovering new music and artists and I love that it can play music from YouTube video as well. Everything else about it is worse though.

To be fair, it’s not just a steam thing. My understanding of the situation is that chromium is dropping win7 support so anything using chromium will stop working on older operating system.

When does egg become not egg?

Is that Albert Whisker? I’d give it a perfect 5/7.

Saw a homeless guy do this in downtown Toronto before. It didn’t smell great.

After a long day of performing 4th and 5th trimester abortions, you’d be hungry too.

I just watched this movie 2 days ago at my parents and the trauma is the same as it was in 1984.

I saw this in a Japanese convenience store. Makes you wonder.

I read an article recently comparing w10 and w11 performance and the numbers were basically the same as this. No gamer should be running w11.

Try liking sonic the hedgehog games. The characters are all children but the fandom does not care.

I’d argue that xcloud and gamepass are equally disruptive to the industry. In either case you don’t own the games and they are tied to a subscription. Whether the game is running locally or in remote hardware doesn’t change how it impacts development and sales of games.

Cloud based gaming is not going to replace owning hardware unless they can ensure sub 20ms response time for every and I don’t belive that target is feasible but either case is bad for gaming as a whole. Games with 100 million dollar budgets are never going to see a positive ROI on services like gamepass and are reliant on gamers being willing to pay full price at launch.

My point is that Gamepass and similar services will kill AAA games if they become the primary way people access games and that is something that is best avoided. Games need a 6-12 month buffer to hit sales targets before they are considered for subscription services, otherwise the entire business model will fall flat on its face and take gaming with it.

MS surprise launched hifi rush with zero marketing, put it on gamepass day 1 then complains it didn’t meets ales expectations and shuts down the studio that made it. Now, 48 hours later, they are saying they need more games like that.

It may not be directly referenced in the article but cloud gaming was absolutely a part of what led to the closure of tango gameworks.

I usually don’t care much for streamers but Wirtual is amazing. He’s a talented player in his own right but also does a great job explaining the nuts and bolts of the game. I’m still a mediocre trackmania player (odd since I am usually very good at racing games) but his videos have taught me a lot.

My bad, I misinterpreted op use of the word launch to mean opening the app.

Wtf, is that actually a thing now?
