Is Tom Holland now better known for Uncharted rather than Spiderman?
Yeah I don't get it. Did microsoft say they would stop forcing edge on users?
HotS isn't really dead - you can play it now and it feels as good as ever. We all want to see continued balance patches and more cosmetics and heroes and maps but the fact is that it already feels balanced and has enough cosmetics and enough heroes and enough maps.
That's not to say we won't love more or that we may as well stop playing it, but the real question you're asking here is if the game is dead - it is not dead, and therefore won't "return". You just load it up, pick a hero, click Ready - and it's "returned".
What really sells this game? I bought it and got through the prologue and a bit of chapter 1 and don't see why it has so much popularity? It seems very okay so far but nothing amazing. Loads of unnecessary dialog.
Er, what's a modern anti chat game
When does Chrono Trigger really start to get good? I've tried to play it a few times but it never fully holds me.
every game has a built in trial these days. trial the game for up to 2 hours in the first 2 weeks of buying it, and if you don't like it, steam refund it.
Contraband Police - it's like Papers Please, but since it's in first person, it's more complex - you have to manage the whole border crossing area with the few staff you have, you have a car that you have to manually drive to a supply shop and to drop prisoners and contraband off at, and you can get ambushed along the way or at your base, where you're manually be shooting at smugglers with guns you buy.
Shadows of Doubt - A game where you play as a detective in a city and you have to solve cases (sometimes murders) and often end up committing crimes yourself along the way. A lot of cases solved used by matching faces to names to fingerprints to voices to jobs to blood type, eye colour, hair colour, age, and so on. Extremely addictive and often hilarious, despite how buggy this early access game is.
Dicey Dungeons - A roguelike deckbuilder with 6 different classes where you roll dice against cards with different effects and your enemy does the same to you. I don't love roguelikes and really don't like deck games but this one is really appealing, and has a great soundtrack. The different classes play through a LOT of different "episodes" where the rules of the game change.
also playing a lot of Heroes of the Storm every goddamn night
I don't know if I want to be punished for doing well
and Palworld
What do the post-patch reviews say
I don't think anyone cares much about the promises that EA have for us
But also right above the categories on the right hand side where the store page tells you if it's single player/online pvp/online co-op, is the category "MMO"
Do yourself a favour and get Bitwarden or similar. Browser password managers are way too vulnerable.
Isn't there a Black Mirror episode of this
FINALLY somebody gets it!
Can I play devil's advocate a little bit here, because I was really unaware that this ever worked for anything except indie artists on Bandcamp. So Bandcamp works for them or for discovering new music obviously.
I didn't know artists ever sold digital music on their websites, but that does make sense, so I checked - if I google Taylor Swift and go to her website, there it is, digital music purchase. Great.
I went to U2's website, and the only music I can buy there is vinyl. I don't want vinyl, I want digital. You can buy merch, but I'm after music, not merch. Looking further, there's all sorts of galleries and information about each album and song, but you still can't buy the music.
Other mainstream artists I googled didn't even go that far. Googling them brought up a wikipedia link, social media links, tours. All stuff I don't want. Now your list has "contact artist via social media" - setting aside the fact that it's unlikely a popular mainstream artist will even reply to anyone at all about anything, this is a real point of friction. I don't want to have to contact an artist to find out some alternative way to get their music. If I'm buying something online, there needs to be some way to buy it online and ready to go. If we have to wait a couple of days or weeks for a reply that may or may not come - the process failed.
If I had to guess, they would probably say something like "it's on spotify".
So yes it probably is a supplier problem, but it seems to me that this is happening for the majority of popular artists if a majority of music people like is mainstream. I assume if you like the majority of indie music then that's probably not the case.
Wanting good usability isn't petty
Boomer's Adventure in ASMIK World
I never figured out why they gave the world such a weird name, or didn't just call it Boomer's Adventure
OK which distro should we use
From taskbar settings, they removed "Never" combine taskbar buttons, and forced it to always combine taskbar buttons.
Like if you prefer having 3 open folders showing as 3 buttons, too bad, you can't do that in W11 without a third party patcher.
They created the "inbox" button on the desktop client because when you're in a ton of servers, finding where the notification was a big pain point. The notifications tab covers the same thing for the app, and it's very readily accessible now. I think before the update it still took about 3 taps to get to the "Inbox", and only then if you knew where it was hiding.
Can anyone use this? Right now?
why would you pick Zelda 1 over Zelda 2 if you think 2 is more fun
I don't know if I was blind the other day or if it wasn't there, but the headphone icon is definitely there now. Cheers!
I don't know that I really want it called Craig
V Rising. similar to valheim, but vampires instead of vikings. fight bosses against the sunlight to unlock abilities, structures, crafting.
Halls of Torment. similar to vampire survivors, but with a very diablo 2 feel.
Gunfire Reborn. similar to dead cells/hades, but it's a FPS.
Hyper Jam. the single best multiplayer arena brawler I've ever played. no decent matchmaking so you need a friend or 3, but it's $4 aud in the sale. get your host to disable the confusion perk.
I loaded up TF2 a few months ago just for a quick game, expecting to get into yet another round of I'm-so-over-it 2fort.
What happened instead of that was a completely nostalgic get-into-any-map-I-wanted round after round of full servers like I'd never put the game away. Dustbowl, Gravelpit, Steel, trying to re-learn all the maps, finding other players who had long since figured out new clever ways to use weapons and classes that I'd always thought of as sub-standard.
And I'm in a region where there should be less players.
Is paint 3d actually any good?
I had such a hard time using it for basic things that I'd look for wherever they'd hidden away traditional paint instead.
It's a full remake, not like a port or a rom
Sorry, old post. There's hidden controls everywhere that just aren't intuitive.
How do you throttle your downloads? A ton of my games that I know I own are missing from my library - where did they go? How do you get to the store page of a game in your library? If I take a screenshot with steam, where is it? My steam library is showing my games by month. But it was showing them by categories I set for them before. How do I get back to that?
I can do all of these things, but when I try, I might need to search around steam a bit to find it, and I might get stuck entirely and have to ask someone or ask google.
But couldn't you go to where the alternative dungeon's keys are, get those and come back to get the earlier dungeon's item that way?
I can't see how you can softlock?
Do you have discord open on your desktop PC?
10+ minutes sounds like about the amount of time it takes for discord to recognise you're away (ie. auto-away status). If it thinks you're there (ie. online status), then it shouldn't be also pinging your phone. It's the same as when you have discord on your phone and open and it doesn't ping you with every message while you're already looking at it.
I just had a look at Matrix and it seems that the settings let you choose between Off/On/Noisy. Apps like whatsapp default and keep you stuck on "Noisy".
They ban everyone who attempt to use a custom client?
I've been using Betterdiscord for years and have never been banned. Matrix looks good, but I don't think you're selling it well by throwing Discord under the bus without some very clear and obvious justification - nobody will be inclined to believe you.
I just signed up and tried to figure out how to join any remotely interesting community. There were none.
There were a bunch of public communities - not many - and I think the most interesting ones in the public room list were either Element Android, Telegram, and Rust. And Rust is one of my most hated games that I wish I'd refunded.
This is an old message I only just noticed, but maybe that's better anyway....
...because my ChatGPT app is up to date and doesn't have a headphone icon to the right of the text box. There's a soundwave icon that lets me use speech to text, but that's not what this is.
Wasn't the entire point of not using "Windows 9" branding and instead going straight to "Windows 10" from 8 that they didn't want the last version of Windows to be 9, that they preferred a nice round number.
Can you ELI5? I'm reading the comments and still not comprehending what's going on here.
Why doesn't Matrix just call "spaces" servers? By calling them spaces, they have created a learning curve for no reason.
Even just saying you have to download a client called Element to access Matrix is not intuitive. To access Discord, you download a client called Discord.
High quantity, low quality?
Maybe video games should be priced at value per hour
