Never thought I'd say this but... I might have to stop buying and playing future FromSoft games.

People ask me why I don't support Nintendo games or products. I give them a list of the outright shitty stuff they've done to their fans throughout the years.
Another line added.

Microsoft breaks some Linux dual-boots in a recent Windows update

Microsoft: "Oh? What is this? A penguin-shaped sand castle? In MY beach? That's dangerous, so let me see how I should fix it..."
PC Owner: "Actually, this is my beach, I just invited you as a guest and--"
Microsoft: "Whoops!" *trips over itself* "Oh no! The sand castle!" *snickers* "Well, it's not a danger to anyone anymore!"
PC Owner: "... You know what... I let you in. I deserve this."
And this is how I see this situation. Microsoft can't hurt you if you don't invite it in, we are at the "Fool me for the 18549178217th time, what am I doing with my life?" stage.

Now that's a blast from the past from a blast from the past!
I hope it works out for them, now that they have their own IP.

Here's the most popular Steam Deck games for July 2024

I've been putting a lot of hours on No Man's Sky. Specifically, I've been playing past Expeditions using the offline method, and paused Leviathan just to play the latest one. And considering I'll start a survival playthrough once all Expeditions are done with, NMS is going to be taking a lot of my time.
Also, Time Treker has been fun when taking a day-long break from NMS, and Elden Ring will probably be back on the menu once I'm done with NMS, or maybe I'll start a concurrent playthrough, not sure yet.

Quoting: sonic2kkif you need to use malware to fix your multiplayer component, you should not have a multiplayer component
I fundamentally disagree. That's at the same level of saying that if you need to use Proton to run a game, it shouldn't be run on Linux machines because you think Windows binaries are malware. It's an extreme stance that ignores the nuanced reality.
So, instead of arguing, I'll agree to disagree, and hope you do the same.

Quoting: sonic2kkI would rather no anti-cheat and cheaters than invasive anti-cheat, if that was the choice.
EAC isn't protecting you from just cheaters, but also hackers with access to RCE.
