Quoting: lucinosActually something is very wrong with the GPUs. They add up to more than 100%.
They've also all grown this month rather than some growing and some shrinking. Very peculiar.

Quoting: _wojtekI wonder... couldn't Valve just collect the stats without the "survey prompt" to get saner results?
They're collecting information about their users and publishing it for any third party that wants to use it for any reason. Whether or not permission is strictly legally required for that, it's better to err on the side of getting the permission than not.

They likely also have very detailed moment-to-moment internal data about exactly who's using their network & services, but they aren't sharing that.

We have dedicated ourselves to bringing this remaster to as wide an audience as possible
It's not as wide an audience as possible if the game's exclusive to one store. Particularly if the store you've chosen is a small one.

The OLED can do the first one; the LCD can't.

Quoting: Claude_LibDoes it finally allow the screen to turn off while downloading games? Something that should've been there from day one for OLED models, if you ask me.
Or at least a screensaver; they could have different ones available in the points store - like flying toasters, say.

Quoting: Linas
Quoting: CatKillerI really enjoyed Dark Nights with Poe and Munro on the Deck.
Any other recommendations? I don't think I have ever played an FMV game, but I am curious.
I haven't played any of the others. I took a punt on that one because it was native and looked like it could be a giggle.
