I just want the System Shock 2 Enhanced Edition release already. It's been over a year since they've given any info on it.

Duck Season (the VR game) came first, and SLZ is a VR dev studio. This version is the traditional PC game port of the original VR game.

I love the original Dead Rising, but fuck it is stressful to play. The strict time management, the gameplay difficulty, the save system, starting the game completely underpowered, and the game just letting you fail and showing you how bad you fucked everything up, it's brutal. Even after almost 20 years, hearing just the first second of the song that plays while the convicts are outside in the jeep raises my blood pressure.

Dota only does in private matches, not matchmaking games.

I would also say it's easier to snowball in Dota than Deadlock. You can take way wider and more restrictive control of the map since it's smaller and everyone is less mobile.

It's even funnier that no, I didn't.

But, if you really want to compare the artistic value of a screenshot of a game, one is equivalent to going out in the world with a camera and composing a photo of your natural surroundings, while the other is the equivalent of typing "anime girl" into google images and saving one of them.

It's honestly less complicated in the end. I'd say probably 95% of people don't really have a need for a dedicated storage OS because everything they want to do is easily accomplished on any Linux install.

If you're only wanting to use Docker and don't need to run VMs I'd just use Debian, and even then you could still run VMs if you really want to.

For me it has always just defaulted to the left-most monitor. I had a script that would disable that monitor with xrandr when sddm loaded and then re-enable it on logon, but I couldn't get something similar working in Wayland.

I went from OMV, to TrueNAS, to just mounting the drives directly on my Proxmox host, combining them with mergerfs, and then sharing them from a samba container they're bind-mounted to.

Unless you have some fairly complex storage needs I'd say go with a good hypervisor over a dedicated storage OS with a hypervisor tacked on.

Maybe you think they're lame because those are screenshots of an actual game being rendered in realtime, and not just a picture someone drew for a visual novel with some text over it.

I'm having trouble digging it up, but the person who created Steamspy a number of years ago, before privacy laws made public profiles opt-in and interfered with its ability to collect data, found that the majority of Steam accounts only had a single game in their libraries.

A lot of those are going to be alts people made to evade game/server bans or smurf.

I may or may not have made 10 accounts that only had Garry's Mod on them circa 2010.

A lack of analog controls is definitely an issue. Having digital buttons on keys that are either 100% on or off loses a ton of fine control.

Playing GTA and need to make a slight left while driving? On a gamepad you just slightly tilt the stick left to make a smooth turn. On keyboard you have to do a bunch of short little taps on A (and D when you inevitably oversteer) to stop yourself from jerking the wheel left.

I remember really wanting a Logitech G13 when they came out but I could never justify spending the money on one.

They're already ignoring robots.txt, so I'm not sure why anyone would think they won't just ignore this too. All they have to do is get a new IP and change their useragent.

"I burned this CD [to a blank CD]."

That's exactly where it stops making sense.

If you have a painting, and you show it to someone and ask "Could you paint this?", they would assume you're asking if they'd be able to sit down at a blank canvas and paint the same picture.

If you have a painting and say "I painted this", they're going to assume you're talking about the painting in your hands, not a reproduction you made that's hanging up in your garage.

lol if you want to go through life using words incorrectly and sounding like you don't know what you're talking about to people that do, be my guest. this is a comment thread about a word choice in an article that was clearly confusing for that very reason

No, because in that context it makes sense to assume he means burning to a blank CD.

If he showed me the official CD and said "My friend burned this", intending to mean "My friend made a copy of this to their own blank CD", I'd look at them and think "That's clearly not a burnt CD-R, that looks like a legit release".

"I burned the original disc" would never mean "I made a copy of the original disc to another CD-R" to anyone that actually knows what burning a disc is.

It would either mean "The original disc is a CD-R that I burned an image to", or "I threw the original disc in a fire".

Avoid local retail in favor of what, a website? If you're concerned about the data mining potential of this robot rolling around a strip mall then you should avoid the internet at all costs.

You're right, I'm more familiar with DLSS and thought both used it, but still, just because other companies are using it that way doesn't mean it's inherently a buzzword in every context.

DLSS and FSR are some of the best and most useful implementations of AI out there right now, I don't know why you're acting like it's just some marketing gimmick buzzword.
