I hope their Android store offers a good experience and succeeds since Play Store just sucks. But Valve pretty much made Linux gaming, if you saw what it looked like before they got involved you would understand. And they are the only big video game company that still does some good stuff in addition to the bad stuff.

Epic burned 95% of their good will among gamers, if not all of it. They allowed play 2 earn and other crypto shit just to be contrarians, delisted and ended support for old Unreal games and are pretty much just The Fortnite Studio at this point, which itself is seen as an amalgamation of everything wrong with gaming by some, they struck exclusivity for highly anticipated games so that people have to buy it from them, stories of crunch and Tim defending and supporting every new technology gold rush including Grok producing fucking CSAM.

It’s not hard to see why people have so much animosity towards them.

Did it run better?

Nope, we will run some unix-like exclusively through the cli on the cheapest possible single board computer if it comes down to it.

This is a broader problem with electronics as a whole. Past a certain point better processors didn’t result in better computers, devs just wrote worse code. So modern computers don’t feel that much faster in some cases.

Yes, but it’s even more of a hassle than I remembered and offers basically no benefit, it’s really not worth it.

You see they are a multibillion dollar corporation, so them doing it is good actually, it encourages iNnOvAtIoN.

Also you can build a LineageOS image that let’s you re-lock the bootloader if you really want that functionality.

It looks like a real hassle but it is possible.

Yeah, I remember that. They also treat their players like absolute shit in general. But at least Rockstar makes games people enjoy and provides shareholder value. Ubisoft sucks so much they are actively harmful to everyone involved.

Some of those picks are questionable (like Ball x Pit, Kirby Air Riders, Deadlock and maybe The Drifter too), but there is some stuff in there I don’t recognize.

Ubisoft is actually the worst possible video game corporation.

They almost never make a game that’s worthy of anyone’s time, their business practices are scummy, they kill off their games and tell people to get used to not owning them, treat their workers like shit and their stock price is in the gutter so not even the wallstreet ghouls benefit from how awful they are.

It’s incredible.

Also they repack everything. I only learned about and played a game called The Weird Dream because there is a fitgirl repack of it. When I looked it up on Steam it had fifty or so reviews.

Windows and Linux are both free and MacOS coames pre-installed in custom made hardware, so I don’t know who would pirate an OS anymore. I’m with you on security software though.

The article reports that Xbox didn’t have any deals, at all. Playstation is reported to be cheaper than it’s pre-hike price.

They don’t seem nearly as good as people claim though. I can’t comment on their quality with certainty because I didn’t play any of them besides Crash Bandicoot but at least their newer games seem very unimpressive to me.

On Poco X7 Pro debloating improved the battery. I didn’t remove the wallpaper app though.

I was so happy when Silksong released, thinking I wouldn’t have to hear about it again for a long time. Here we fucking go again…

Original method wasn’t FTP?

This is most likely only useful on the most high end gaming phones, tablets or handhelds, if it’s useful at all. It could also be a scam.

I would’ve prefered getting Mega Man Legends 3 instead since they, you know, made most of the game already. But I wouldn’t say no to this one.

This actually looks really, really cool. If someday a repairable version of this proves viable for another company I can see myself saving up for a device like this.
