Developing a good game is not only a money problem.

“9 out of 10 dentists recommend…”

Yeah, if it isn’t like $600 USD or less, the thing is as toast as the previous generation of Steam Machines.

Yes, but also consider you are running a more updated, optimized version of Cyberpunk than what everyone experienced when it first launched (and more optimized drivers/FSR/etc). So the true performance gains of mid-low range hardware is masked by the fact that the game is not so horribly unoptimized anymore.

In other words, the actual performance increase of hardware over the years is perceived to be higher than it actually is due to other factors.

Even though I thought the game was stupid, I am happy this is happening. Not only is it good for consumers to be able to access what they pay for, but also it makes the stain of this game sting Sony more, and I think that’s worth having to see this game at all.

EDIT: Apparently the purpose was to just get taken down in a day. Sad.

Something interesting to point out is that Russia was not originally granted a permanent UN seat. That seat was granted to the USSR. The USSR was dissolved in 1991 and the Russian Federation basically just announced that they would take the permanent seat granted to the USSR. Most countries in the UN accepted it without issue, but there was something important about this announcement that people may not know.

The Russian Federation being granted the former USSR’s permanent seat was conditional: the Russian Federation was required and expected to uphold the responsibilites that the USSR had, as well as the USSRs treaties and agreements. Failure to uphold those commitments would mean the Russian Federation was in breach of their agreement with the UN and should lose the seat formerly granted to the USSR.

The USSR, interestingly enough, had signed many treaties recognizing the borders of its successor states before it was dissolved, one of which being Georgia. Thus the actions of the Russian Federation in Georgia in 2008 violated one of these USSR agreements they are required to uphold. This was a direct violation and one that is technically grounds for removal of the UN, at least removal from a permanent seat.

However, its not that easy. The UN doesn’t actually have a protocol for removing a permanent seat member. It does, however, have a protocol for removing a member that repeatedly violates the UN charter, which does not specify that it does not apply to permanent members. This is a little more broad, and can extend to include the Russian Federation’s consistent abuse of its veto ability to shield itself and its allies from accountability, and its current actions in Ukraine that violate the Budapest Memorandum.

Looks interesting, depending on pricing. If the GabenCube is more than $600 USD though, it might be overpriced.

Couldn’t help myself from thinking it would be cool if Valve programmed a feature for the SteamDeck to connect to the SteamMachine and function like a Wii U gamepad, with second screen display streaming over local wireless.

It was truly a sad moment when the final E3 ended.

Now everything is split into a trillion different streams for each platform, and then occasionally for award shows they announce random stuff there too.

Wait, Alyssa Mercante isn’t working in fast food anymore?

The Guardian doesn’t list her on their list of journalists, though. I guess they accept guest-written articles sent to them? I didn’t know that. I mean, its not that uncommon, but still. Huh.

Still, it is a PvEvP Extraction Shooter. That genre is known to have poor player retention.

Yeah, it does clean the wound (after the pretty nasty burning sensation). Wouldn’t want it to get infected, someone could die from that! And if they died they’d be getting it easy.

I mean, also we are talking about being petty to a business, not actually injuring people. Never actually injure someone.

Lets see how long the number stays that high.

There is still time

Gamblers.

Which is pretty weird for a law firm with a gaming side business.

Nah, keeping their old catalog relevant just twists the knife in them more. Like pouring a whole bottle of hydrogen peroxide on the wound.

Is it petty? Sure. But Nintendo cannot out-petty me.

If they are pushing an update to Java, I can only wonder what else they are changing that they aren’t talking about.

Excellent news. 12 year old me would never believe I would be smiling seeing Nintendo finally take an L.

I am talking about using mods / “cheating” in a game that has an online function.

If you mod Elden Ring, youre most likely playing offline and not ruining other player’s experience. But you can’t mod/cheat a game that is online only without ruining other player’s experience.

At least with Elden Ring you can play offline and use mods to do things like reduce difficulty or something and you generally aren’t going to negatively effect other player’s experience with the game.

They don’t have to, but having one would significantly increase the chances of the genre being successful.

All of the games in the genre that don’t have a PvE mode see high success for less than a year before player numbers fall below 10k average players. The only really exception is Tarkov, which is basically the Fornite of the genre, except it actually was the first of the genre unlike Fortnite.

ARC Raiders should have one in particular because it was originally supposed to be a coop PvE game, and was forced into its current genre by Nexon.
