Some references in the first one are difficult to get for people that are not connected to pop Italian culture (like the one with priest on the bicycle). But overall it's an okish game if one loves the Bud and Terrence movies. I don't recommend it if one just looks exclusively for a great beat em up.

If the second is the same as the first for me it's a buy. I've seen Screenshots with a football setting. Maybe they put in also movies where they played alone? My father in law appears in a few scenes in Uppercut. That would be a nice gag to play it when he comes to visit. :grin:

Nobody knows, but Liam's tracker has got the English only graph for a guess (nice increase lately!):

Liam, I'm still not sure how you're calculating it, despite reading the description. Which numbers do you use?

Wow!

I'm always tepid when it come to "1% articles". That's why I never comment them. No offence but I think that in those articles we talk just to talk, with no concrete stats to back those theories and analysis. The way I see it, we always made conjectures on error bars rather than actual data.

I'm still not sure we are actually seeing a change, but these numbers can definitely be the first recorded trace of a real trend. And yes, this is something we never seen before and also by my "picky standards" it's worth spending a word so here I am: my word is "Wow!" :grin:

Can't wait to see if in 6 months it's confirmed!

I know all good businessmen will actually focus more on chinese numbers before rest of the world because there is where big money is made today (well, unless Winnie is able to kill his country VG market with the new restrictions), but USA is meaningful for trend setting and it can give a hint on what to expect in the years to come.

Frankly speaking, I'm disappointed.

I really expected the winner of the Stardew Valley competition to receive the payment in kind.

Quoting: Guestwhat's the point of providing a windows 11 layout? Not even windows users want that. The first thing I see them doing is to try to find the setting to put it back in the corner.

Uh... Old people already accustomed to that windows if I had to find a use case.

When I "forced" my father to linux I gave him Zorin and it made the transition smoother since GUI issues are factored out. After the conversion is done it's surely possible to move on to more functional interfaces.

No one's accustomed to the w11 layout yet, though.

Well... someone will eventually. And Zorin will make "easier" the transition. Windows -> linux is not just GUI. There are different abstractions for different "computer organizations" (for example, my father first pc was DOS. Just "removing" C: and A: was a trauma for him. Even though he doesn't touch a CLI since ages and it's just about icons. He had a mental model deeply rooted in his brain). By having at least a familiar GUI you can reduce the stress on the adopter while he metabolize the "new concepts".

Quoting: einherjarLooks interesting.
But when I hold my arm like this and move it around "mouselike", it seems hard to imagine, that I land a single kill with such a mouse on CS:GO.

It is surely a matter of weeks, to get the same precision, you are used to, isn't it?

The only real difference I found was that those mouses have usually a max of 1600dpi while when gaming I was used to 6400. Since then I stopped playing "competitive" games so I don't really care anymore. Mouse agility is not a big deal when playing EU4 or the likes. It might become an issue again the day I embrace 4K monitors though. That I can't tell you.

At work instead all we had available were 800dpi garbage shit. To give the idea: the old man running the IT had a box of mouses were he was storing all the mouses that were "rejected" by employee because of malfunctioning. When he had to give out a replacement he took another one from the very same box. So in order to save $ necessary to buy new mouses, the issues were never resolved. They were just being passed around from employee to employee so they could continously affect the performance of $$$$ paid engineers. So yeah, there the quality of life improved quite a lot.

And FYI, Trust also recently started to sell one of these but it's a bit smaller than the CSL and personally for this reason I find it less comfortable than CLS even though I have relatively small hands.

I started using that Anker 5 years ago. The office premises were awful and I was kept being moved from desk to shittier desk as my team was being repeatedly demoted thus moved here and there at whim.

Eventually my wrist started to be in pain. Alarmed from the perspective of getting carpal tunnel syndrome in my early 30ies I bought it on Amazon for 20 euros. Pain disappeared after a few days.

Now I have the same model at home too for gaming. Even got a wireless one for the lapboard. Ofc I changed employer as well and ofc I bring my vertical mouse with me wherever I go.

I'll never go back using a regular mouses.

That led us down this path of Proton

Yeah, "down" seems fit for me...

Still excited for what will happen this time.

Let's also not forget that while Steam Machines were a failure, Proton wasn't available at that time and WINE was simply no match.

That one was the defeat condition for SM. It still is for the Deck unless they can bribe or work around EAC somehow.

Then the Deck needs also to be "usable" enough with games with poor GUIs. The annoying situations where the dev just took for granted that you have m+k in additiona to a controller. From having the mouse arrow annoyingly sit in the middle of the play screen (and no easy way to tell Steam that you need mouse control just to get rid of that), to your average useless cancer launcher, just being impossibly tedious to work through and always sitting behing the "launch game" button and your damn game.
