Quoting: Mountain ManI'm surprised Nintendo hasn't hit the developer with a cease and desist.

I suspect one of the reasons for them releasing the game first in Early Access is to vibe check potential copyright infringements from Nintendo.

QuoteBecause copyright today covers virtually every sort of human expression– including blog posts, photographs, forum posts, scraps of software code, and government documents–it would be impossible to train today’s leading AI models without using copyrighted materials. Limiting training data to public domain books and drawings created more than a century ago might yield an interesting experiment, but would not provide AI systems that meet the needs of today’s citizens.

Yet their own platform, LLM, code, etc is copyrighted and not released under an open-source licence. I could potentially believe their shit if AI was to benefit everyone, not just them and/or a few companies.

That's like saying that I cannot profit massively without destroying the environment and exploiting employees. Oh, wait...

Today's citizens needs are not a fascinating AI built on top of other people's works. Citizens today need job stability, affordable housing, a public, free and of quality education and health, and the list could be virtually endless.

I've been meaning to replay it, so I could get the saves before starting PoE2.

Silly question, what's the best way to use the Deck or the Steam Controller for games purchased in GOG? Is it just a matter of installing them with heroic and then adding them as a non-steam game?

Steam OS Holo has -2.46%, is that a typo or are people removing Steam OS to to install other distros?

Quoting: PhiladelphusI've been working my way through the two final DLCs for Shadow Gambit: The Cursed Crew (20% off right now). Both new characters offer some new mechanics to play with (Yuki being the first character to be able to leave traps, and Zagan having ranged abilities that can go through walls, and some that interact with his health), and the missions have a few new features as well. I just need to finish Yuki's final mission at this point.

Love to hear this. Shadow Gambit is on my wishlist for when I'm ready to play another long-ish game. I would also like to pay for it full price, mimimi devs deserve it.

Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Justice For All (Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy) (Proton) (Steam Deck Playable, 67% off)

At that price, it should be illegal not to own the whole franchise. But I have them in DS, Switch (digital and Japanese imported physical). I don't think I can justify another copy xD

I've been game-hopping since finishing BG3. But I will try to play, and finish, Stray and Sifu over the holidays on the Deck. If time allows, I would also like to start Norco, or perhaps give another run to Pentiment.

P.S: All of them Deck verified.

Yay, I can finally masturbate with one hand like God intended! (Without my friends being able to comment in my achievements.)

P.S: This is trying to be a joke, but happy to remove if someone is offended or thinks is inappropriate.

The Steam Deck % is deceptive, at least in my case, as it only computes the gameplay while being online and that has been the way I used it the most this year (flights and commuting).
