Exact same boat as you… Urgh. Maybe community drivers are possible?

I love the low-fidelity production.

That’s a game selection issue IMO. Busy people shouldn’t play games they don’t have the time to get invested into. AAA design and marketing has pushed this idea that every game has to be this big 100 hour open world RPG narrative adventure, but there’s so much good stuff out there that’s over in less time or doesn’t demand huge play sessions.

Might as well just straight up jack it instead of thinking about the game at all.

Thanks for introducing me to PEBKAC, great term.

I’m picturing a toddler seeing a soldier get beheaded by an arrow from horseback, looks over at Dad for emotional support, and Dad looks on with an approving grin, comfortable that he’s made the right choice of early childhood films.

Also, The Matrix/Terminator as a suggestion for a small child is a big lol.

There’s only a handful of games worth playing that a 10 year old mid-range computer can’t play anyway. I don’t see the point of upgrading for Indianna Jones or COD.

I thought it was one of the better LTT videos for sure. Torvalds is much better on camera than he claims to be and it was interesting to see his outlook on a broad range of questions.

Looking at the sheer number of nominations e33 has gotten, I would be absolutely shocked if it didn’t win game of the year.

It’s defined as “Recognizing a game that delivers the absolute best experience across all creative and technical fields.”

While that’s pretty nebulous a definition on its own, the fact that seemingly every other creative and technical field has its own award category, and E33 is nominated for most of them, speaks to it being a shoe-in for the GOTY category.

I see what you mean, but this device is a little overtuned for an office PC, at least GPU wise.

Howl’s Moving Castle, but really any Hayao Myazaki film.

If that feels fine for you then more power to you. I’m just saying why I don’t personally wear headphones in public.

It depends how much exposure to Tech you have and whether taking a break is important for you. For most people the exposure to constant stimulus is too much.

Phones and technology have essentially eliminated boredom from our lives, and I don’t think that’s a good thing.

Just birds chirping, wind blowing, leaves rustling, all as I walked the same path I walk all the time<

This would be one why I don’t wear headphones outside. Hearing the natural ambience of a space is rewarding.

The other personal reason is that I’m in front of a screen about 12 hours a day and crave those few hours of respite from being hooked up to technology.

Truly the Thomas Edison of the 21st century.

Literally LOL’d when I saw the ad.

Tailscale works really well for me as well.

Yep, the community plugins are open source only there. I still use it though.

Ironically I think keeping a clean living space and bring kempt is a pretty big attractive quality, so this is a great answer.

I was wondering if such a tool existed. There’re some publishers that do deep sales on games released not that long ago, and I would think that there is a trend between game discount trends across games from the same publisher. Surely there is a way to map that to predict when a game will hit X value.
