  • The long game

  • It's still a risk (unlikely as it seems) and Valve realized they can't just be at the mercy of someone else.

  • That cow was probably uplifted to sentient by then and wears the ear tag "ironically to honor her ancestors". Why? Don't ask me, I don't understand stupid kids and their style!

  • I remember seeing a sign on a wall in one office that explained this. Makes way more sense knowing that.

    I can't say I've had this particular conversation with a doctor (or ever will) but all this said, I've also had some real arseholes for doctors. A little compassion and even a quick explanation goes a long way.

    There is a big difference between not understanding something and never being taught in the first place.

  • This is a great thread. I'll add Jesse.

    Jesse is there to hang out with his buddies and wants to just BS.

    The game is just common ground for a Jesse or group of Jesse's to shoot the shit for an hour or two at the end of a long day. Previous generation would find your Jesse hanging out at the bar, or sports ball games. Jesse's really started appearing in games en masse during covid. They aren't necessarily good at the game, often bad, but that doesn't matter.

    My gaming group are all Jesse's.

  • ‘Stranger Things’ Shows Its Age in a Final Season That’s Outgrown Its Core Appeal: TV Review

    Jump

  • Haha, what a silly post. There was only ever one season of Stranger Things.

    Kids and their fan fiction these days.

  • New Mad Max movie concept

    Jump

  • I've literally had this thought the last time I watched Idiocracy.

  • RIP Windows: Linux GPU Gaming Benchmarks on Bazzite (GamersNexus new Linux Benchmarking is here!)

    Jump

  • You're going to get dogpiled because you're generalizing and people are calling you out for that. All your edits and bluster, when you could go back and just say you like a specific subset of games that are made by devs that are just lazy/shitty. Voila, maybe then everyone would stop replying with the same comment!

    Or, ya know, just keep digging that hole. It's funny either way.

  • And that's how I found out where to find bags of just the rye chips from party mixes

  • Asking a question is not guaranteed to get the correctest answer though.

    The real trick is to post an answer to a question. The enlightenment of "well ackshuly"'s will elevate you to galaxy brain!

    Oh, and still do it within a meme or shitpost community. These people are nowhere to be found in the topics specific community.

  • Put it to the right next time, I dare you

  • It was too good for this world.

  • Me already teaching my 6 year old: "press the L button" "Not left on the dpad" "That's the left stick button" "No not left on the left stick" "Not the left on the right stick" "that's ZL!"

    And now with this suggestion: "No not the left face button either!"

    No, let's not use cardinal directions anymore.

  • Deep Thoughts - 6x7=42

  • !!!

    I never saw the connection!

    If nothing else, I have a bunch of brats to introduce to some great literature! Uncle Nerd Powers Activated!

  • If you care, then I guess you'll just have to keep giving Microsoft your money and data.

    Jump

  • You are taking the comments too literal. If something is subsidized (which means cheaper than normal) and it is useful as a PC or PC parts, it will be vacuumed up by non-gamers as well.

    You are technically correct about mega corps and such but missing the point being made. Every subsidized PC not bought by gamers is lost money for Valve.

    Megacorps won't sit and refresh Steam sure, but fucking scalpers absolutely will. There are lots of shady middlemen companies that will buy them up from eBay and resell to small businesses too.

    Hell, I'd snap one up and resell on eBay in a heart beat myself if this thing goes for anything close to what a PS5 sells for. Let's say $1200 in parts, I buy for $700, I resell for $900, reseller scoops up a few hundred at a time off ebay, sells in bulk to small businesses for $1100... Everyone wins... Valve fucking loses. Now, let's say a million people do the same thing because it is free money.

    This is how this works and why they can't subsidise this thing like Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft have. (Also why Xbox doesn't run actual windows for that matter.)

    I swear half the posts on here are just slop now

    Jump

  • Hi Mudkip, you are totally right! Our posts are getting very sterile. We will try to delve into the reason for this and do a better job going forward.

  • Do Vulkan shaders need to be processed before every game?

    Jump

  • Also, a lot of games hide it in load screens and don't explicitly tell you. If you've ever updated a game and first run seems to be slower to load, that's the game compiling shaders for you.

  • Today I learned there's an amazing Wikipedia article detailing the bullshit that Trump has said over the years

    Jump

  • The third sub-heading is simply "Bullshit". The fact that they describe how a "Bullshitter" differs from "Liar" is a TIL for me... I never really thought about it before, but the description here is spot on.

  • What the most memorable moment from any video game?

    Jump

  • Watching the credits for Super Metroid for the first time.

    That end card probably stayed on my tv for for like an hour while I just sat there.

  • They blamed Trump

    Jump

  • Remember, remember, who YOU voted for in November.

  • It's that time of year again.

    Jump

  • Or they made their seasonal change from their summers to winters, and if, like me, you have separate rims so you can easily do it at home, you now get to drive around with the car whining about no tpms. Because fucking cars can't have this as built in diagnostic functionality in these giant computers on wheels.

    When I have time I'll pop over to a shop that can reprogram them to the second set, but it's not exactly priority numero uno.
