Huh, it's almost like when you make the same game 12 times, force shitty DRM, and then outright disable access to content, people are not going to support your business.
Steam's big picture does a lot to remediate some of the challenges of working with a controller in a desktop environment. The ROG Ally additionally has switchable modes between desktop and gamepad and it allows for mouse movement with the thumbsticks and stuff in addition to the touch screen.
It also has this app called Armory Crate SE which is basically an Asus-branded game launcher like GeForce Experience where you can fine tune settings on each game.
I remember following the Escapist when they transitioned to YouTube, after probably longer than a decade of hosting their own stuff on their own service. I remember seeing all these shows they had spun up, but they all had exponentially less viewership than anything with Yahtzee in it. There were movie reviews which I occasionally caught and a bunch of other content that I just didn't care for.
I tried to get into the other creators on the platform but only Yahtzee had any staying power for me. Slightly Civil War/Slightly Something Else was great too when Jack started coming in. I've been a fan of Jack's since his Red Letter Media days, when he was doing Pre-Rec with Rich Evans.
I'm sure I could boot up the 360 version of Skyrim and see some great classic Bethesda bugs.
I agree that Starfield was the least buggy release in ages. I had also heard that at some point they were being directed to adapt the idTech engine which runs DOOM to become the new base for Bethesda games, but I guess that hasn't happened.
To whit I played a few dozen hours of Starfield and generally by that point with any other Bethesda game, I'd have found some stupid bug that causes me to get annoyed and quit, but I just got bored of the game because of the repetitive nature and the confinement to fast travel for everything.
Yeah but Bethesda has the reputation of leaving it up to the modders, even long-term. Look at the 20 releases of Skyrim; some of them have the same bugs that they did on launch, classic Bethesda weirdness resulting from using the same busted-ass engine for 5 generations of games. Those bugs have only been addressed and mitigated by the modding community, despite there being a re-release and remaster on every single console for the last three generations.
It's not that Bethesda can't given the opportunity, but they tend to only do so when they are unable to rely on modders, like FO76.
Destiny's onboarding for new players is literally the worst. If you don't have a veteran guiding you into the game it's literally impossible to pick up. You want more interest in the game, then make it easier to actually pick it up instead of flat replacing the starter content.
There's not enough userbase to literally split them for every single distro. Remember even with "a bigger exodus" than what we got, reddit's userbase is still hundreds of times larger than ours.
Lemmy's numbers have gone downwards and stabilized. Currently one of the more popular moderation actions has been to shutter the incredible excess abundance of communities and consolidate on main communities.
/c/linux is good enough for most news discussions, and I would argue that places like /c/linuxgaming are better resources to troubleshoot your system based on purpose rather than just on distro.
I always thought it was weird that most of the D is carpet. Very late 70s in theory as there are an abundance of carpets, but early 80s in execution as the carpets are not shag.
People still remember the old, good AC games. And FarCry, I guess.
