Quoting: whateverI'm absolutely 100% sure people will keep using Windows regardless, like everybody keeps using Chrome, despite all we know about Google and how they spy on their users ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Well, maybe, but somehow this feels more personal. I mean, I'm not going to predict that Windows market share will drop to 5% tomorrow as the news hits or anything, but I wouldn't be surprised if this caused a trickle of people leaving.

Speaking as a member in good standing of the choir, yes this is horrible.

I was also thinking "Why? Imagining for a second that they're not lying through their teeth about harvesting your information with this, what on earth is the point for them of doing this?" Then I got to

But don't worry it "does not take snapshots of certain kinds of content, including InPrivate web browsing sessions in Microsoft Edge"

Ahhh, I see! It's a maneuver to force you to use Microsoft Edge instead of Chrome or Firefox. I'm sure there are other reasons, but that's one part I bet.

Quoting: Pengling

Firstly, Valve noted KinitoPET [External Link] as now playable as of this release. Sounds weird: "A psychological horror experience that takes place through Kinito, an early 2000s virtual assistant.".

This one's in a bundle with some other well-received horror-games right now. Shame it's Steam Deck Unsupported, though. :sad:

Early 2000s virtual assistant? So I guess it's a take on the psychological horror of dealing with Clippy.

Quoting: pleasereadthemanualMost macOS users are using CrossOver or Whisky, I gather.

I suppose if I were a MacOS user I, too, might be driven to Whisky. :grin:

Quoting: GuestThis is not based on the usual D&D ruleset, but on Warhammer (modified) ruleset, which is refreshing (and a lot simpler than the previous games imo.) It is also turn based, which is a nice change (I hated the RTWP system).

I also prefer turn-based; seeing it with that turn-based look was one of the things that made me think it was interesting.
I played a campaign of the Warhammer (not 40k) roleplaying game once. It had some interesting concepts but was a bit bare-bones, at least at the time. But that was many many years ago so any present day Warhammer RPG is probably completely different.

Quoting: Purple Library GuyHuh. Never heard of it. Looks interesting.

It's from the same company that made the Pathfinder series and it's based off of one of the D&D rule set of books. The Pathfinder series of games are usually on sale often if you're ever interested.

What I've heard about Pathfinder is that it's like slightly better D&D. Which is nice and all, but really I'm a GURPS man. That class-and-level-based stuff is so limiting, at least for tabletop play. Could be fine for a computer game though.

They kind of sound almost like they haven't even heard of Proton. And I mean, with ignorance levels like that it's maybe not a big surprise if they're not capable of maintaining ports.

I'm not sure it's quite my kind of game, but the trailer really gives a feeling of possibilities--you have movement by running around, bouncing real high, sailing, swimming, zorping yourself into an animal's body and running around as the animal, maybe more? Plus you're some kind of spell singer.

Who puts a little picture of themselves on the upper left corner of their game trailer? Is that normal and I just missed it, or is this guy kind of a narcissist?
