Oh wow. The next punishment for customers in Germany.

And they still do not bother implementing a mechanism to verify your age as a customer…

Quoting: CatKillerI realised partway through the second game that the character I'd created was basically Xena.

You only realized that after one and a half games? :shock:

Quite frankly I think most of the big budget is wasted. Take SW: Outlaws – why would they need motion capturing when the rest of the game is firmly stuck in uncanny valley. I think the hair is especially bad. Yes, the hair can get wet, but does it matter if both states look unrealistic? Abstraction (caused by lower budget or lower technology levels) can be a good thing. Most games are too expensive to have interesting ideas, because high costs require guaranteed high sales, so the game/movie/etc has to be formulaic.

I'd rather have something that looks like Stardew Valley, Coromon or Yoku's Island Express.

Quoting: constAs I switch locations quite often and have some dedicated devices for specific jobs, repairing these issues cost me days in the last years.

I've run into the issue several times, but so far it could always be fixed with a quick pacman -S archlinux-keyring

Did you try that?

Both still use Denuvo. Disappointing.

I don't think I ever installed cups-browsed on any system, partly because I don't care about the convenience of automatic discoverability of a printer and mostly because I don't want to have automatic discoverability due to security concerns.

Iteresting… “our goal is not to push any specific agenda”… “focusing on (…) GaaS-native experiences”.
Focusing on GaaS is an agenda, right?

This might be the first game to tempt me into getting a PSN account, but no. Not this time.

Interesting timing.

“Joining forces is exciting on multiple levels… we don't know if we can keep working on our projects without meddling and we don't know when we will be closed like our predecessor.”

Paraphrased for your reading convenience. The original contains lots of phrase bingo words like original, innovative, unique and portfolio.

Quoting: tmtvlI guess even with identical hardware specs and the same software machines can behave differently still.

I've switched about a month ago and experienced a partial breakage. No chance booting into game mode, due to an infinite logon spinning wheel, but switching to desktop mode worked reliably. But Steam was completely broken in desktop mode as well. I ended up renaming the Steam folder in $HOME – that fixed the problem. Later I moved back my data from the broken Steam installation to the working one piece by piece.

So the issue I had was not related to hardware at all, but to the Steam client since it is so heavily integrated into SteamOS.
