Quoting: finaldestThank you,

This article has just saved me £20.00. I have refunded the game as I cannot stand persistent online requirement for single player games. Its just not worth headache.

I need to start paying more attention and stop buying games on a whim for nostalgia sake.

Same reason I never bought Resident Evil 4 -- Denuvo was a no-go.

--

This is the kind of game I would like to play on a long car ride or airplane -- that always online DRM garbage automatically kills any interest I have in the game.

Yeah the graphics are greatish, but honestly I wouldn't be surprised if I saw a decompiled PSX version before too long with perfect anti-aliasing, high res textures and raytracing or whatever.

It seems like the game industry is filled with people who don't know how to make things great anymore, and every game is literally 100GB

Timothy Cain Developer of Fallout did a really great video about the state of the game industry -- https://youtube.com/watch?v=LMVQ30c7TcA [External Link] ((IIUC some of the devs for Baulders Gate 3 were from Bioware and connected to Fallout I can't remember the exact details -- to show the contrast between old school devs and new devs))

So i spent 3 nights trying to figure out how to convert maps from csgo to cs2 on linux and the closest I got was turning bsp map files into vmf's using a tool here:

https://github.com/ata4/bspsrc/releases [External Link]

There also seems to be a script "game/csgo/import_scripts/import_map_community.py" that can be combined with $USER installed python

`python -m venv $HOME/.python/`

`$HOME/.python/bin/pip install xyz-dependency`

`$HOME/.python/bin/python "$HOME/cs2/game/csgo/import_scripts/import_map_community_linux.py" "$HOME/csgo/csgo" "$HOME/csgo_maps" "$HOME/cs2/game/csgo" surf_ski_2_go_cs2 surf_ski_2_go -usebsp`

The directory separators need to be swapped out in the py, and the keycode for [ Enter ] to continue doesnt work for me so swapped it with 127 Backspace to run the script, and then I ran into a error of it trying to find a binary called `source1import`

Anyways -- it's been an interesting rodeo -- but I may have to try again later as I dont have a windows computer to test.

Also of particular interest is https://github.com/kristiker/source1import [External Link]

I was able to use the scripts from utils to import, I am not sure how much the file structure has changed since they were written but I suspect they may contain hints about conversion -- in my case I attempted and imported GoldenEye Source maps

cd "$HOME/workspace/source1import/utils/"
python scripts_import.py   -i "$HOME/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/sourcemods/gesource" -e "$HOME/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Counter-Strike Global Offensive" -b cs2
python particles_import.py -i "$HOME/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/sourcemods/gesource" -e "$HOME/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Counter-Strike Global Offensive" -b cs2
python scenes_import.py    -i "$HOME/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/sourcemods/gesource" -e "$HOME/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Counter-Strike Global Offensive" -b cs2
python models_import.py    -i "$HOME/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/sourcemods/gesource" -e "$HOME/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Counter-Strike Global Offensive" -b cs2
python materials_import.py -i "$HOME/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/sourcemods/gesource" -e "$HOME/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Counter-Strike Global Offensive" -b cs2

Quoting: ValckIn light of recent events, it might be more important than ever to actually look at the engine that's used in a game before getting too hyped up...

It took some googling, but on the you-tube page fans eluded to it being unity. My condolences to the developer.

They call it "anti-cheat" -- but what it really is -- EMBRACE, EXTEND, EXTINGUISH ... namely their competitors.

HORRAY!!! Everybody liked that!!!

Remember folks, when a company behaves and does shitty things we __ CAN __ vote with our dollar and drive them out of business. We don't have to live in a abusive consumer-dispised world. I can think of no better time than now to help put some of these companies under.

Make room for the MORE worthy!!!

Say NO to subsidizing venture failures!!!

Quoting: KithopYeah no, not after this fiasco: link [External Link]

Not trusting any of their newer hardware on my home network.

I'm typically on the fence on these kinds of issues.

FTA: " designed in-house in the UK"

IIUC for context it sounds like they must be a UK cop.

The UK is "interesting..." and UK cops are pretty infamous. I really think the UK is parasitized by other governments as their actions typically would appear to advance ulterior party's agendas.

If anyone knows of any similar open hardware where the chips aren't trademark secret blob code let me know -- I'd love to find a winner in this SBC space.

Edit:

Quoting: const

Quoting: ArehandoroI like the update, but I honestly think they'd be better off removing microsd and adding ssd.

Let's hope they have reserved enough bandwith for a SSD expansion module. It makes sense to keep microsd for those who want to run it fanless.

It sounds like their MicroSD is faster, but is it as fast as the Steam Deck? I forgot the tag for the new tech -- I thought it was "II".

I do agree, (at least for me personally,) I would have gladly traded for a m.2 2230. Maybe it's not small enough? The microSD feels like a relic from times past, still I see their thought process in if it's not broke, don't fix it -- because fans are used to it.

But for me personally, as a potential new fan, I'm not drawn to it without being able to have a 2230 really.

Support for 8 player multiplayer (PC only).

Well, looks like I'll be trying this on my next weekly LAN day :p

What a chad @CA, as always.

I bought it on Steam and GOG, lol gotta appreciate that DRM-free download.

I've had times where my main internet is out for months. It can happen, and when it does having things that are not _always-online_ will be the only things that run sadly.

Congratulations to them, I'm hearing fantastic things about the 2.0 update. Absolute Legends.
