Come to Australia, you might accidentally get killed [External Link]!

Really, though, it's crazy that the Steam Deck's still not available there. Unless it actually is and a bunch of kangaroos beat up the delivery guys and stole them all, or something. :tongue:
LOL no....... Its the Emus you gotta worry about....... Dont forget Australia lost a war against those damn flightless birds........
The Great Emu War [External Link].

They used to have the actual battle results thing used for wars on the article several years ago with the result being "Decisive Emu Victory" on it. XD

Roguelite shooter Arcadegeddon hits Steam with Steam Deck support
21 Jul 2023 at 1:16 pm UTC

To be honest, I'm not a fan of a game that you have to pay for that also has "In App Purchases" too. There's just something about it that rubs me the wrong way. I tend to skip them unless I *really* wanna play it.

The loot box games disgust me, and the blatant gambling in NBA 2K does as well. (That's on top of the money generated from NBA 2K not also going to former players enough, even if their likeness is used.)

Well…
No way, nuh-uh. I'm not touching Mighty No. 9, hahaha! :tongue: Gravity Circuit looks like exactly my jam, though. :grin:
I think it gets as low as like $2 USD on Steam during the sales. Since you backed it, you may as well play it at that price. lol
I suppose there comes a point in game quality where the cost of the time you put into it alone, which you can never get back, is too much investment before you even get to giving them actual money.

Quoting: Linux_RocksI only paid like $10 USD for Mighty No. 9 on Wii U new sealed at Toys "R" Us during their selloff sale. It was good enough for that price. lol
I was one of the idiots who backed it! :tongue: I only threw in about a fiver, though, so I never ended up having to play it.
Come to think of it. I also bought it off PSN on sale for like $3 or $4 USD too. I got both the PS3 and PS4 versions though.

Microsoft wins against FTC to buy Activision Blizzard
11 Jul 2023 at 5:59 pm UTC Likes: 1

The only positive outcome from this merger is Microsoft cleaning house and lessening the toxic culture at Activision-Blizzard.

Outside of that, this is shit. I don't trust Microsoft. Whether it's this, or their "<3" Linux crap. I know it might sound paranoid. But I feel that the latter is just them trying to ruin Linux from the inside. I remember the old Microsoft and their practices. They're back at it buying whatever they can. Though if they do somehow managed to ruin Linux. At least there's still FreeBSD.

I only use Microsoft products and services when I absolutely need to. Then when it comes to gaming I'm not an anti-fanboy. So if a game is on Xbox that I want. I'm not gonna miss out on it. Plus my pirating of most of my OG Xbox games cancels that out anyways. XD

Multi-vendor RGB controller app OpenRGB v0.9 is out now

If I had built my own gaming PC I'd have probably bought a new old stock ATX beige mid-tower case with a fan port on the side. Either that, or still got a black case with a window, but then put bitchin' blue cold cathodes in it. To have that sorta aura that you just can't get with LED. For a lack of a better way to put it: LEDs have "sharp" light. While cold cathodes have a "dull" light, but that's actually in a good way. lol
