You do you, friend. I’m not trying to defend anything, just trying to help you out.

If you want to go on a crusade against anti-consumer practices or whatever then requesting a refund seems like the first step.

In short:

🤷‍♂️

What I’m saying is that unlike other PCs the steam deck has very few varying factors (out of the box). Meaning, if it works for others, it is likely it could work for you.

I’m not saying anything or anyone is infallible. In fact, I just had a look at proton DB and there are certainly plenty other people with similar problems.

These are good news because Larian has a reputation for supporting and improving their games long after release. These kinks will get ironed out.

And again, if you don’t wish to be an early adopter (which is completely fine), refund it.

1. It’ll likely get fixed unless you did something funky to your steam deck that makes it a weird edge case
2. Steam offers refunds

Why not help build it though? It’s all community driven and unlike Reddit, Lemmy is much better at surfacing small communities and new posts. You’d be surprised how quickly you can get replies/comments.

Ok. I’ve never heard of nor played that game. Which is why I’m asking.

I like the looks of it but is that actually how it sounds? I found it hard to even get through the video with the baby-voiced children screaming.

How does the original hold up? I’ve heard good things about this game and have always been a little curious to try it.

Thanks!

What a silly thing to be mad about. Games have had regional differences since forever. Seems like the bigger outrage is the presence of a jiggle physics button to begin with.

Is nitter some sort of twitter proxy? I can’t access it, can you post the canonical url?

Looks pretty cool! If they get the feeling of the combat right I can see this being a lot of fun. Particularly like their take on the Zelda-esque parallel shadow world.

Oh, cool! I didn’t know this was already a thing. Thank you!

A couple suggestions:

1. I’m no audio wiz but audio quality leaves something to be desired. Particularly, there are a lot of sharp “s” and some smacking sounds that I think some better equipment could improve. Might be as simple as getting a pop filter?
2. Is there a public RSS feed anywhere? I don’t use Spotify for podcasts.

Thanks for summing it up! I get the point of the article a bit more clearly now.

I wonder if “AI engineer” isn’t kind of superfluous in that case? It’s essentially just the new normal for software developers/engineers. Another API or tool to interact with to produce whatever product we’re building. Where does the specialist competencies come in, besides having a more intimate knowledge of the APIs and basic understand of how this tech works?

Interesting, but for some reason I found it very hard to read and get anything of substance out of the whole thing. Anyone care to help a dumb dumb out? Or is it just as fluffy as it seems?

Also, is the newsletter any good? Or is it mostly speculative non-fiction with words thrown around that don’t really amount to anything?

Don’t mistake my sarcasm for disinterest. I’m genuinely curious.

Looking forward to Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart on PC. Probably the game that made the choice between PS5 and PC the most difficult for me. Just gonna hold off to see if it’s a decent port first.

🥲 That was beautiful. I would pay Disney good money to see a limited biopic series following the B1 battle droid that said screw it, defected from the army, didn’t get into Jizz and started a fruitful career as a big band singer.

Not sure this is an ADHD thing but what will happen to me is I’ll be in a flow state, working on something, and feeling that my attention is about to run out while struggling to solve a particular problem. It’s incredibly stressful and annoying to know I have like 10 minutes tops or I’ll be stuck on this problem for a week (because God forbid I break it down into small enough chunks where it’ll be easy to pick back up tomorrow).
