I couldn’t disagree more. I played through as a 100℅ hacking corpo my first run and it was great (120 hours total give or take). I only used guns when necessitated by the mission at hand.
To double check it wasn’t a design issue, I played full melee / gorilla arms after the 2.0 update and am having a blast at around 40 or so hours in.
These play through were on literally every possible platform (Stadia, Xbox 1 & Series X, PS5, Steam Deck, GeForce Now, desktop 3080 and recently 4080 mobile) so graphics weren’t always the primary draw.
If you choose not to engage with the world or systems, that’s a choice but it certainly isn’t a failing of the game. There’s an incredible world and cast of characters in Cyberpunk.
Been playing it off and on since I got my Steam Deck. I’d say portability does suit it pretty well. It’s a great pick up and play for a bit, complete a few missions and save / suspend game.
There’s a lot to do and see, it just has a problem feeling repetitive if you try to marathon sessions.
Nextlander is still going strong and independent. GiantBomb is in a good spot again as well. They have corpo-overlords but are still producing good content.
Single NVME and single SD slot. However, upgrading the NVME is a breeze. The entire device is designed to be user serviceable and Valve provides steps for reinstalling the OS on their site.
I have always called a light top with a full zipper to be a jacket, however the people I’m surrounded by insist on calling it a sweatshirt. I’m prepared to be wrong, just wondering if I’m the only one.
I’m fully expecting Windows 365 to replace their desktop offerings as 10 goes EoL and 11 adoption slows in the Enterprise space.
They know the money is in enterprise and it’s a nightmare currently to maintain desktop os’es with Defender as the EDR.
Shift that to the cloud and use Entra for access? It’s a new golden goose. Patching is simplified and you can continually charge for compute and telemetry access. Why wouldn’t they go this direction?
I want to see if I can get a spark of the “old internet” back by making a starting page for myself with all kinds of cool websites. But not sure where to start because Google obviously will not work for this....
On the bright side, I don’t think we’ll have to buy them again. We can play them with a Exclusivity Plus Ultra Platinum Day 0 Premium++ with Squenix 385/2 Materia Edition Subscription™️ for only $50 a month!
Nazi bullshit isn’t free speech. That’s a trash argument. You need to look inside and find what part of you is broken if you think otherwise. Fuck Nazi anything. They don’t have a right to free speech. They lost that when they became Nazi’s.
There’s not many Xbox only games that aren’t multi-platform at this point (queue more Xbox has no games / Microsoft turn and burns another studio memes).
Rather than fixing the economy issues at home, we create more barriers to entry for affordable EV’s domestically. Fucking dinosaurs rich off dinosaur remains ruining the planet for our children.
I mean, I’m already subscribed to several only fans accounts that shove lead tainted bad dragons into all of their orifices while drinking from a Stanley cup that’s full of other toxins.
Sometimes you got to be a little less risk-averse to really live life.
I get that for some users. In my case, 90% of what’s in the catalog that I’d be interested in I already own. I know this isn’t the standards, but it’s what happens when you’re an avid Steam Gamer with a Humble Sub and a collecting problem.
I joined Game pass to have Xbox live to play with my console buddies and for day one exclusive access. At this point, I’ve moved most of them on to PC and Xbox has done nada with my 5 or so years of subscription.
I don’t work in the gaming side of the industry but I’ve been in tech for a few decades myself as well. I have (luckily) avoided similar situations but I’ve seen it happen to folks that I worked with where they were laid off by some shit bag CEO who didn’t know fuck from shit and then ended up being the head of the company they went to a few years later and pulled the exact same maneuver. It’s wild how once you reach a certain level you’re basically too big to fail there is no consequences for you other than a golden parachute until you land the next gig with your crony buddies.
I hope you’ve landed at a better place that at least provides some semblance of stability. Good luck out their friend.
