It was probably just sh.itjust.works going down for a bit, I've had similar issues before and if it is happening on other apps it's probably a server problem.

New Intel CPU can rival AMD in Steam Deck rivals, according to benchmark leak

And my pc made with mid range parts from around the steam deck's release can still do medium-high settings on most modern games at 1080p, so the steam deck could even play most modern games at low on 720p

Nintendo touts high employee retention rate after loss of Microsoft jobs rocks Xbox Game Studios

Nintendo are horrible to consumers but at least they understand the value of their staff. That's something I value more from a company. (depending on the extent of their anti-consumer practices, nintendo have definetly gone too far with their's)

AI-generated reviews on Steam are becoming a problem

Jump

arudesalad @sh.itjust.works 10mo ago

Steam already does stuff similar to this? Reviews flagged as "suspicious" aren't deleted but aren't included in the overall score instead, and a notice is put next to the overall score when this happens. The same is true for reviews made by people who got the game with a key.

Why not extend this? Like you said, most bots have low play time, valve could exclude (but not delete) reviews with low play time. I agree that doing something like this is a slippery slope towards mobile app store reviews but if it's done right then it is a net positive.

arudesalad @sh.itjust.works 10mo ago

The main problem is that those reviews are still included in the overall review score. I think you can filter out low play time but that's an extra step most won't take (because they shouldn't need to)

I might have bought more switch games if Nintendo made the switch actually usable by fixing drift on their controllers. I would be playing Nintendo games (I legally own) on my switch instead of emulating them but I can't.

It probably got turned into a black hole through the same method everything else happens in this series:

The other commenter is right, but another problem is that our homes and cities are designed to trap a lot of heat in. So while it might say 25C on the weather apps, it can get up to 40C inside. Come to the UK during the summer and you will understand.

Putting this in a seperate comment because it is unrelated but that is a completely acceptable reason to hate part 2. (Like most good stories) it's not made for everyone.

I think the reason you (and others who dislike part 2) were (wrongfully) labeled as a bigot is because most the hate for the game came after the leaks and before the release, so all people knew was that

spoiler

They're killing off the male main character, that's so woke!!!!

and all reasonable criticism that came after were unfortunately assumed to be in that group.

Excluding steam because even playstation release exclusives on steam now, Starfield is (was? I don't know if it released on ps later on) xbox exclusive. Out of Zenimax's library, that is probably the game that you would want the least as an exclusive but at least it is something (they needed something after spending US$7.5 billion on them)
