I came here for this

Please, just shut it down.

I just found out you have to PAY for your prison stay. $50 dollars a day. What the actual hell?!

No one can undo years of economic turbulence in three years. Everyone feels like they’re being gaslit because they are. The patient will bleed out before you finish applying the first bandaid.

This reminds me of when Rick Moranis was attacked on the street in NYC in 2020 https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/man-arrested-new-york-city-attack-actor-rick-moranis-n1247852

The only people that are going to stop this behavior are going to be Valve. They need to get on the stopkillinggames.com bandwagon because they are affected the most.

All these constant demands for refunds because a developer violates the terms of agreement by adding DRM or additional online service requirements months after the initial release that makes your product now unplayable is more than a trend. It’s the future of the steamdeck if Valve doesn’t do something about it.

Honestly, this article shouldn’t be called how to. I’m trying to make heads or tails of this documentation but I would love to see more. I just want to recompile Mystical Ninja starring Goemon as it’s my favorite N64 game from my childhood.

💯 exactly where I learned about it too.

Yeah they don’t even need you to on TV and recant your crimes against the state. They can just disappear you and train an AI to become a mouthpiece for the state. Wild.

In reality no, they are not.

That’s what happens when you have to be a loss-leader to secure your position in the market. Even when the government steps in to protect you you still claim it’s a loss even though you’ve been crowned leader.

Just a thought, remakes like this tend to appeal to people in the PC crowd. We’ve all moved to PC for various different reasons. Better games, better prices, better hardware? Emulation and software preservation is the name of the game for a lot of people. Those people are working everyday to make things like the steam deck the dream game console they always wanted. That’s the kind of person who will go back and replay Final Fantasy 7 four or five times.

The tale of Elon will be retold to our children for years to come about how billionaire philanthropists were incredibly dumb. How they squandered all their good faith and love for a payout before they cut and run. Never forget the tale of Elon, a man who could not tell right from wrong. He wanted to save us from a future grim as long as it was saved by him.

They don’t care. They are lazy cowards who will give up everyone’s rights for a false sense of safety. Trump can say whatever he wants because they don’t take anything he says seriously. The more active among them are convinced that Trump is a “tool” to get what they want. Little do they know they are the ones being used.

Agreed. This is something that is very much overlooked when people talk about how manufacturing in China works. The country is split into special economic zones that have different rules and laws that govern the regions. This allows them to uniquely exploit their labor markets to keep their costs as low as possible.

iPhones are built by FoxConn in their Shenzhen factories. See FoxConn Suicides for more.

This. Buying power of the average American has decreased drastically. If you worked for the last five years and your pay has changed you’ve technically made less money every year as the power of the dollar has diminished. If you’re on a fixed income it feels even worse.

There is a good reason why American companies are scared. It almost never works out for them. Sony vs Zenith TVs is a great example about how a foreign company improved on a technology (color tv) and made zenith look like a stingy dinosaur overnight. Instead of selling color TV’s zenith just doubled down and sold cheaper shittier TV’s. By the time color was standard, their reputation was ruined and no one wanted a Zenith when Sony was the best. Sony however wouldn’t have been able to get into the market without help from zenith in the first place.

I bought this game on EPIC games because I wanted to play it. I bent over backwards to get this thing to run well because I wanted the full experience. I built a windows PC just for it.

It’s a pain playing it on Linux I’m basically forced to run a modified pirated version of a game I paid for to get a consistent experience.

I hope that maybe they will release a complete edition of Alan Wake 2 on steam when Control 2 finally hits because this is the kind of game that people want access to the back catalogue to theorize about.
