  • But the game is in early access. You're telling me the game was magically feature-complete on consoles before hitting 1.0? So you are admitting they lied about the condition of the console versions before they were complete, since it is very much on the same version number as the early access PC version. Coolcool, they are fraudsters who released the exact same early access game on consoles as they did on PC, but didn't alert anyone to that fact on those console stores. Thanks for confirming.

  • Why not, the more frames are faked, the closer we get to the latency of streaming. Wait a sec, doesn't Nvidia sell subscriptions to a game streaming service? Perchance this is the only way to beat the laws of physics, slow everything else down so nobody notices how shit streaming is.

  • Lol, I don't need launchers for my launchers. Gimme a call when I can actually play all of my Xbox games on PC.

  • If Randy had the ability to turn up with results, he wouldn't be known as a douchebag who says incredibly stupid things while insulting his customers. This isn't his first sperg out because people pointed out his incompetence, it won't be his last.

    Anyone catch that Notch told the idiot to "man up," lol.

  • Exactly my point. The game is in early access, the console versions weren't somehow magically finished while the PC version isn't. Which means it was being sold feature incomplete on consoles without notice.

    Literally, your post says 1.0 coming to consoles. They were selling an incomplete game on consoles and didn't tell anyone on those stores. That's fraud.

    So as I was saying, I find it surprising a company run by ex journalists are keen to sell their game fraudulently. And this is their what, their fifth game, yet they needed to sell this one unfinished? What are these people doing with their money that they can't fund their own games to completion at this point, and why are they committing open fraud on console stores?

  • So, how is the game finished for consoles, if it was sold before the game was finished? Just because they didn't call the console releases EA doesn't mean the game was done. I saw no such warnings that the game wasn't complete on any console store. How is that upfront?

  • Yep, similar look, and you jump around doing tricks. I'm here for it

  • Kinda crazy up to this point it wasn't the finished release. Why were they selling it on consoles like Switch if it was still in testing?

    For game journalists turned devs, you'd think they'd know better than to sell unfinished games. Did they need money this bad, did the first one not earn enough to pay for the sequel to be made? I got a bunch of questions why Supergiant is using early access. At a certain point you should put your big boy pants on and finish a product before selling it.

  • Isn't Fedora and these immutable versions on a six month upgrade cycle? Do these update to a new version reliably? As much as immutable is hard to break, I know Fedora's regular distros and spins seem to update to the new version reliably.

  • Not sure if this will help, but I recently started an independent site covering tech and gaming. It isn't monetized, no pop ups, no asking for your email for a newsletter. Zero modern annoyances, just a good old fashioned blog from longtime experts in the field.

    I've called it Guilty Gamer, you can find it here.

    We are covering things like gaming, retro gaming, e-readers, mechanical keyboards, and really anything else that strikes our fancy. Basically, the site was born out of the demise of the industry. As the mainstream is pumping out AI-written slop to please Google's bots, we are busy making content for humans by humans.

    We are also ignoring the majority of SEO practices, which means it is a site built with direct navigation in mind, which is why I wanted to reply and share. It's heartening to see others also realizing bookmarks may be the wave of the future thanks to Google killing the open web.

  • Hard to argue with that price.

  • Just one more thing you can thank Google for. Titles wouldn't be made like this if Google didn't reward them with traffic.

  • News at 11, sky still blue. The series ended with 2.

  • Literally got a full screen pop up in the middle of work reminding me, that I, in fact, can't upgrade to Windows 11. Like no shit, I turned TPM off for that very reason. You'd think Microsoft would expect me to know at this point as this was the upteenth reminder hijacking my entire screen. I'm sure I'll get more of them.

  • Same, I feel ya, and like I said, can't blame ya. It's a real shitshow out there, hard to tell what is real anymore and what's bots.

  • Jumping for sure. Sucks everyone is so paranoid these days, but it's also easy to understand why. Rest assured, everything on the site is written and edited by humans, and I wrote this post on Lemmy.

    From what I can tell some key giveaways are excessive use of emdashes and emoji in lists. LinkedIn is a perfect example of everyone using AI.

    But yeah, I recently launched my site in retaliation to all the slop out there (more about that here), as I'm just as sick of it as everyone else, maybe moreso because it's destroying the field I work in while decimating the careers of many friends and coworkers.

    The only AI that touches the site is in place of stock photos and logos, and that's simply because the site isn't monetized and doesn't make any money. Me and the crew would rather put our focus into creating high-quality content, which means recording our own videos and taking our own images of products (we only review products we've actually hand tested), as well as writing our own words.

    We don't want to regurgitate news in a rush like the slop shops; we have no interest in writing endless affiliated bullshit recommending products a writer has never used. We want to dig in and report the finer details, the stuff other sites won't cover because they think their audience are idiots that need everything dumbed down. And that's the point of opening an independent site, one owned by the writers; we are free to do the job as we see fit, and that means doing it with integrity.

  • Oh for sure. Heck, I have all 3 black Analogue Pockets, and a couple colors of the Chromatic too. I love me some dedicated hardware. But the modded Game Boys just aren't cutting it with their buzzing sound, I want perfected dedicated hardware with backlit screens.

  • You just named a bunch of things that don't actually exist in one package that fits in my hand, hardly identical whatsoever. Gimme a call when it is. Or don't, I'm not here to argue semantics of nonexistent things.
