Sounds like people who have backed projects before are scared and sensative.

Growing the dumpster fire will either add contraversey and infamy or actually cause the bad end that people are trying to avoid & upset about.

Sounds like they are cascade trigger alarmed for little reason.

Anger does not bring about creative passionate clear vision.

My sound was on kind-of loud when I accidentally clicked the play button. It was terrible.

You spelled youth wrong.

This concept is Sexy As Fuck.

Especially the chicken leg robot style of the 90s, it shares common origin with Star Wars AT-AT and Walkers and reminds me of G-NOME.

A new Steam Client Beta adds support for the Nintendo Switch Pro Controller
3 May 2018 at 4:50 am UTC

After owning 4 X360, 4 XONE, 4 DS4, 2 Steam Controller and 2 Wiimotes I really love the low latency of X360, the wireless range (not available on bluetooth) and the ability to use regular batteries instead of charge and decharge a non-removable battery fucking up my playtime waiting.

I still hate the X360 dongle and how ackward and messy it is.

I was not hopeful that the Nintendo controller would offer much of interest or value.

I am curious if the Atari VCS controller will be constructed well or not and be worth it or not.

The Linux-powered Atari VCS will accept pre-orders May 30th, shipping next year

Quoting: elmapulThe console is small. There is no space for heat dissipation... everything is saying that its a scam
Since I expect the CPU and GPU to be a single APU, heat should be less of a issue. Also IIRC one of the new AMD Ryzen APUs with Vega graphics runs at like 60 watts or something really low like that.

These are good indicators that it's entirely possible that heat will not be too much of an issue in most moderately aired indoor environments.

Quoting: kneekoo... their communication strategy is terrible. Getting people excited, failing them with a campaign, leaving them in the dark for a long time, then coming up with marketing talk and a "next spring" announcement is definitely bad.
I think this is a indicator that the people running the show are engineers first and marketers second or not at all. In any case -- it actually is a good sign in that sense indicating that it's not a scam and that it has a chance on turning out right vs some BS marketing fad hype-train with 0 product.

Quoting: kneekooWhat would set them apart from the crowd would be a partnership with GOG.
I strongly suggest you tweet them asking for this feature. Since it is in the development phase, this sort of partnership would need to begin development soon and likely have huge benefits for both sides.

Alrighty, gimme one! haha
Filthy casual, what kind of matches -- bot games =P

Just kidding mate, I'm a filthy casual myself, for dota to controller translation you can try the Steam Controller, it's mighty difficult to play on controller and be decent.
