Capcom decided it was appropriate for them to add intrusice DRM into their games AFTER people already bought it.

Capcom can go eat everyone’s collective ass; they don’t deserve business

KIA?

Don’t forget the part where the publisher withheld the devs’ compensation for console sales

This is the most softball-assed “interview” I’ve ever seen. PC Gamer is full of clowns

And shitty guitar + singing

Mine is a more normie choice, but I’d have to say Chained Echoes.

It’s a JRPG made by one guy in Germany. Lasts 40-60 hours and manages to integrate both on-foot and flying mech mechanics together in a way that works. Plus, there’s several encounters throughout the story that are unique and interesting, and the story tends to subvert a lot of expected norms in the genre.

The downsode is there’s plenty of spots where the quality drops. There’s a couple of scenes with bad and nonsense writing, a couple of poorly thought out encounters, and and obsession for dangling post-game content in front of your nose throughout the story when there’s no need to make it post-game. Mainly, Mattias Linda really needed an editor to tell him “no” on some spots. As it is, I’d give it a 3.5-4 out of 5. If he had someone for proofreading and QA it’d probably be a solid 4.5/5.

Bootlicker spotted.

I can’t wait for Hollow Knight fans to start getting mad because it sucks

Yes

Agreed. Also, there’s a lot of smaller 3D games that run at 30+, but end up being a bit choppy and tanks the battery life. Nowadays I just play 2D games on my Deck, then I get 3hr of battery life

If it helps, you can 3D print your own hardware nowadays

Personally, I’m hoping they release a B380. I’d love to put one in my media server for transcoding

Dude, no. A Raspberry Pi 5 is less powerful than a Steam Deck across the board. The only reason it could run DOOM at 4k in that video is because the guy hooked it up to an external GPU, and that external GPU costs several times more that a new Raspberry Pi.

Also, the Raspberry Pi 5 doesn’t come with an SSD. If you’re going to build your own boxed similar to what you’re proposing, you’d need to buy a Raspberry Pi + SSD + case + interface cards between the parts that’ll cost an addition $50-60. You’re looking at around $300 for parts. Any commercial product would also have to factor in labor and some margin for profits.

At this point you’re looking at a product that costs about the same as a base-model Steam Deck that isn’t portable and has less computing power for playing games. Virtually no one would buy that.

If Valve did release a non-portable PC, they might use a higher-power version of the Steam Deck’s APU at similar price points to the Steam Deck, filling the space that used to be occupied by Intel NUCs. But whatever they do, a non-portable system from them cannot be weaker than a Steam Deck. It would be completely rejected by most customers on that alone. And it cannot be dependent on an external GPU since those are a waste of money compared to just building a PC.

IE: 140€

Dude, you can’t even build a Raspberry Pi 5 based Retropie for that price. And the most you could run is emulated Gamecube games

Are you using Steam’s integrated streaming, or Moonlight/Sunshine? The latter has less lag and can handle higher resolutions, but is a pain to set up

Please don’t fuck a chicken

Someone really needs to develop a way to transfer money without relying on banks. It’s insane that banks get this power to force their own morals on everyone, even when the affected transfers are completely legal

Or at least publicly traded corporations

I’ll be honest, a Horizon MMO sounds like an awful idea in the first place

Are you saying the shutdown is short-sighted, or the idea of a Horizon MMO is?
