I think it is already happening gradually. SteamDeck has single handedly opened the eyes of so many already. M1 Macs did that for macOS as well.

Could it be that consumers are putting money where there mouths are and this is just Microsoft desperately trying to increase their margins since their business isn't growing anymore?

I mean the more people move away, the more likely it is Microsoft would milk the ones who can't.

Typical hypolipidemaniac.

Why don't we start a poll for that?

Yet the world exists unexploded. I'm starting to think you are a liar.

Disgusting

CoD on GamePass is too big of a loss I suppose.

Yeah it's pretty cool. Sometimes the translation can even beat native performance.

SteamDeck, emulate everything.*

• Proton technically isn't emulation, but it's pretty crazy that the device basically doesn't have anything natively built for it, everything is translated emulated. It took that much effort to break Microsoft's PC gaming monopoly.

Will this mean PS5 games in coming years would come in two disks?

Update: never mind they were always using 100 gb

Yup! In the latest friends per second podcast the podcasters were talking about how From Software games (tbh Lies of P is a love letter to bloodborne) don't explicitly give you a difficulty modifier but the games themselves have several things/objects/weapons that can modify the game difficulty for you. It's like the setting is hidden within the game, rather than on the menu.

This idea really clicked with me. So if gamers want an easy mode, they use the "cheeses", if they want hard mode, they ignore that, and if they want to change difficulty, they simply equip/unequip the cheese.

If I were young I would totally play all the games I could. They young ones saw 2008, pandemic, wars, inflation. If not escapism then what?

I cheesed the game using throwables and summons and I absolutely loved it. Without those I would've been frustrated and spent quality time on ignoring the tools that help me finish the game and compensating with my hard labour.

Licensing will do that for you. At least you'll be able to still play it, unlike Crew.

I'm pathetic at both pronunciation and spelling. I just know when I hear it lol.

Auto complete isn't helping either with the situation.

tl;dr: it is what it is

But they're not. They are simply saying that lay people assuming feminism is for feminine gender is to be expected as they may go on the face value of it. They aren't saying that the goal of feminism is anti men, rather they agree it is anti abuse due to patriarchal structures but the naming only brings confusion and irrational reactions for the uninformed.

I guess we'll see one or two games do this every 1-2 years, and I think that's actually fine. Baldur's Gate 3 did it but in the end optimising for Series S improved it for everyone. Alan Wake 2 devs said it was hard to fit things into Series S memory but they got there in the end and even delivered a 60 FPS mode. Even Immortals of Avuem got it working at 60 FPS for Series S.

It sucks for the devs for sure and they should leverage it to get some concessions from Microsoft for making them do all the hard work. Maybe a smaller platform fee, or partial funding.

I was so confused by the trailer. What exactly is this game lol

30 FPS and heavy motion blur put me off. Maybe it was just how it was recorded/presented in the stream I guess.
