  • Yeah that might be the thing that isn't jiving well with me. It just feels like chaos. There's nothing tactical about mashing the fire button and spinning in a circle. Definitely a skill issue.

  • Gripping points. Thank you for your contribution.

  • I am still so incredibly salty that my quest 1 is a paperweight because of this requirement.

    It did not exist when I purchased the product. Full Stop.

    When they introduced to that requirement with the quest 2 you were able to use the quest one without it with no issue. Sometime last year we tried to hook our quest one up to Steam Link and were met with a Meta Account requirement. There was no way within the UI to get around it.

    In a moment of frustration, wanting to play some Beat Saber with the family, I went ahead and started the process of making a meta account only to be stopped several times along the way by various privacy layers on our network. It was insane. My PiHole about caught fire.

    30 minutes in I gave up and dug out the Vive Cosmos and all 20 wires it needed. So disappointed meta is the only wireless headse with decent battery life. They ruined VR adoption for me.

  • YOU WENT WITH DOUBLING DOWN!!!

    I don't know what that means, sorry, just seemed like a fun comment train to start. 🤣

  • I did not realize that this game had launched. I didn't even know what had early access. But, if I had known that the new college football game was available a little bit early, I would have bought it and played with my homies this weekend.

    It's been a real long time since we've had a college football game of any type and is someone who is way more into that version of American football than the professional one, I'm stoked that this is coming out.

    Also, pre-orders are bad, EA is a terrible company, college football is exploitation, etc....

  • Fantastic. Thanks for the link!

  • I had such high hopes for split screen co-op on this one! I will never understand why this feature hasn't been implemented in these games yet. My wife and I love to play them together but sometimes it would be easier to do it on one device instead of having to both drag out our laptops.

  • Braindead aka Dead Alive is a classic for gore. It also skews to the comedy side so it's more enjoyable on rewatches.

    More recently, The Sadness was pretty nasty but definitely more mean spirited. In that same vein, Headless is pretty nasty as well.

    Gore is an interesting thing as it can be a single scene or an overall aesthetic i.e. the Evil Dead from 2013 has an insane amount of blood and violence but it's not outright gore like Rikki Oh and definitely a more pure horror film.

  • Yeah, I remember all of the vitriol we spewed at them when it felt like Steam was first being "shoved down our throats".

    But they really are a high-water mark for listening to your customers and acknowledging their feedback to produce positive change for your platform.

    Now some 20 years later it really feels like most other interfaces don't provide the level of service and usability that Steam does.

    Any complaints and grievances are always valid about their business practices, the percentage cut that they take and all of the other things. You can't however say that the platform hasn't been a boon for PC gaming. Especially on Linux where proton has opened up a whole new world of accessibility especially for games that are too old to run with any sort of consistency on modern Microsoft OSs.

  • If I was running. restaurant open from "10am-10pm" this would be great hours. Time for the crew to roll in a little late for their 9-930am shifts, enough time at the end of the day for the kitchen to be cleaned and the last load through the dish sanitizer before every customer is out by 945/10pm at the latest.

    It actually seems realistic. Haha

  • The 8bit do ultimates are currently my favorite controller of all time. Own several wired and wireless models (at least 1 of each version).

    If you have $70 (less on pretty frequent sales) for the ultimate with Hall Sticks, I can't recommend it enough. I reach for these over the Xbox Elite, Dual Sense Edge and Razers I used previously.

    Simply a fantastic controller. And they work great with the 2.4ghz dongle or just via Bluetooth with the Steam Deck.

  • This is my exact review on Steam. What a shit show.

  • Ex-Zodiac is pretty decent as a tribute. There's something missing in the presentation though. Opening steam and launching it while using an Xbox controller isnt quite the same vibe as dropping in a cartridge and being tethered to that soap bar brick of a SNES controller.

    As a tribute though, gameplay wise, it's pretty good.

  • Man, I don't know honestly. I believe i first saw / read it on IRC in the 90's...

    and now I'm turning to dust. haha

    Thanks for being social!!!

  • "Wow, how cool is it that she's 13 and already works for the FBI! "

  • I'll throw a caveat on certain things that get delisted...this is my biggest poison on Steam. Just grabbed Forza Horizon 4 because of its announced delisting in December.

    Otherwise tbough, solid advice!

  • I am so, so close to doing the same. Still have a small partition carved out for CoD and Windows. I just find myself booting in to it less and less.

    Thank goodness MicroVision seems to be keen on continuing to flog that dead horse with a Warzone focus, means I can finally be free.
