> `std::regex`

C++'s standard regex support is universally considered to be *bad*, so I don't understand why it's still used in this day and age.

i wonder how much data manipulation they needed to reach this number.

Probably not much. IIRC, Epic's infrastructure, including Epic Online Services which third-party devs can use, is hosted on AWS, so that's already a big number of players right there.

Quoting: poke86Hopefully it fixes voice recognition in Phasmophobia!

No, this is only for speech synthesis. Voice recognition is still not supported in my experience.

Photo mode is definitely what I'm the most excited about.

Honestly, if Valve does make a Steam Controller 2 or similar, I hope they'll bring back the dual-stage triggers from the original. I really loved those, as I used the click at the end to enable gyro aiming.

Meanwhile, the Steam Deck's triggers don't have that, and it saddens me.

SEGA probably found a different way to sell them, like they did when Sonic Origins led to the Sonic 1/2/3&K ROMs being delisted from the collection.

So, they'd rather cut off a part of their playerbase rather than implementing server-side anti-cheat, huh.

I'm glad I don't play that kind of game, not gonna lie. Single-player is once again proven to be superior.

If Valve do ever plan to launch a Steam Deck 2, they’re going to need to overhaul the rating system anyway right?

One thing they could also do is have a general Linux/Proton rating. Because I have a few games which work on the Deck but not desktop Linux.

Quoting: redneckdrowThe best thing an experienced Linux user can do to save their sanity is to bite the bullet and go Linux-only. Unless you're required to work with Windows-only tools, of which there are very few that won't work in WINE these days, for a job.

I'll be honest, I switched to Linux around 1.5 years ago, and I have to keep a Windows installation around because good luck debugging the Windows build of a project on Linux because Wine's debugging support is not good.

It's also useful for games that either require components that simply aren't available on Wine (speech recognition, for example) or have issues that only happen in Wine and/or with DXVK (like the Modern Warfare remaster consistently hanging at specific points in two missions, or LEGO Ninjago consistently crashing at a specific point during a specific cutscene, or Homefront Revolution consistently crashing when entering a specific area).

Personally, I think the original RE4 is better than the remake. I played both, and I really didn't like some of the changes from the latter, including the changes to the tone and characterisation.

So, yeah, I personally recommend the OG game with the RE4HD mod for the best experience.
