from a technical standpoint this is a complete non-starter since there's about 50 ways it just simply is impossible to implement in the linux space. And by that I mean TRUE age detection with some kind of auth.

If all they're doing by this idiotic law is making a new checkbox that says "are you over 18?" then 🤣

Quoting: benstor214

Quoting: JarmerI think I've played through GD ... 4 times? 5 times maybe? I think it's got to be one of my most-played games of all time at nearly 500 hrs. ITS SO GOOD.

I agree.

Quoting: Jarmer[…] to get to the highest difficulty you have to do the most boring thing ever of all time: slog through the game mindlessly once all the way to the end […].

That’s true if you play SSF (solo self-funded) characters. Otherwise, you can do it once only and then put 'merits' - which unlock the highest difficulty - in the stash for other characters to use. 🙂

oh didn't know that! I always play every single arpg ssf because I dislike multiplayer, but ..... now that you've enlightened me to these "merits" I may or may not have to look up if there's a way to hack or mod these into new chars without ever getting them to begin with!

Quoting: BumadarIs bought my wife this desktop [External Link] in october, if I configure it exactly the same as back then its about 37% more expensive, crazy. So yes they missed the boat and sadly valve probably has too with all the stuff they lined up a gew months ago.

I went back to my pcpartpicker listing for the exact computer I have now in my pc info on the left, and it's about the same, roughly 1/3 more expensive. Which for this machine means like $800 more. INSANITY. I think ram and ssd was most of that increase? Just absolutely even more crazy that the gpu isn't the problem (as far as cost) goes anymore ... like at all. That hasn't changed.

retro inspired pixel games for life! I'm 100% okay with that.

but also: (insert my obligatory i-hate-ai-its-ruining-everything)

but also also: this device always seemed cursed from the get-go to me. Along with a few other indie handhelds. For this one specifically: why are you all trying to reinvent the wheel from scratch with a tiny team of people (majaro gaming edition?) when you could just parter with steam and license their steamos and let their virtually infinite resources and people do all the software work for you?

but also also also: as liam mentioned, if it ever does come out, the specs will be so outdated they'll either have to a) price it so low that they lose money on each sale? b) develop an entirely new system with new chips and etc... option a is untenable and what's the likelihood of option b?

About the only complaint I have on it, is that getting the best gear to really make your builds shine requires being on the highest difficulty for the drops. BUT to get to the highest difficulty you have to do the most boring thing ever of all time: slog through the game mindlessly once all the way to the end (because you don't give a shit about items or upgrades) and then after spending countless hours you will unlock the highest difficulties and you can actually start playing. Due to this I've never actually played the highest difficulty, because: aint nobody got time for that shit.

It's still mechanically, build wise, and FUN wise: one of the best arpgs ever made!

I should just copy paste my reply from the firefox post earlier today lol:

too little too late.

Same as with mozilla: I won't ever be using discord for anything ever again. I already deleted my account, goodbye and good riddance.
