I’m very excited as I’ve only recently discovered how fun CRPGs are. In preparation I’ve started playing through Divinity Original Sins II and am up to Act 2 so far.
The scene from the Livestream with the vampire and druid bear was so out there I can’t wait to see what other crazy/interesting things are in the final game.
Have you been spending hours trying to pass a level? Or maybe you are completely addicted to a newly bought game. Do you have a question about a game or would like to share something else? In the Weekly Discussion Thread, you can do it all!...
I’ve only completed Act I and can’t believe Act II will be even bigger, there’s already so much to do in Act I. Are there only two acts in total? After DOS2 I plan on playing through Pathfinder Wrath of the Righteous and then maybe Pillars of Eternity 2
Despite the somewhat confusing title, this is an analysis of the merger trial, and how it could continue. Definitely worth the read, it pulls back the curtain on what happens when two giant corporations are trying to fuse....
News about the merger being approved was being discussed on Beehaw and everyone was dogpiling on Microsoft saying they’re the devil for buying Activision Blizzard.
When I pointed out that Sony are also not innocent, as they regularly pay publishers to block release of games on Xbox, my comment was deleted.
At this stage Xbox is the underdog when compared to PlayStation and need a deal like this to not fall out of the market which would be a bad thing for everyone because it would mean less competition.
Of course it would be much better if no company was allowed to make exclusivity deals with publishers.
Like I already said earlier, it would be better if no company was allowed to pay games publishers to block out publishing on their competitor consoles but Sony have already been using this dirty tactic for years.
MS said they are buying Activision Blizzard so Sony cannot block games from being released on their platform once again.
So to directly answer your question it is “ok” because it is a defence strategy to prevent Sony blocking them out of games. It is no worse than what Sony already do and at this point if they don’t use strategies like this then their platform risks fading into obscurity leaving Sony with a monopoly which is bad for consumers.
Saw a game on Google Play that had great reviews (4.6k AVG with 77k reviews) so downloaded it thinking I finally might have found a good mobile game only to find it was trash like almost every mobile game I’ve ever tried....
Not exactly the same as what you suggested but I just tried using Steam Link with a Bluetooth controller and it worked surprisingly well. I’m wondering if I could get this working when outside my house using a private VPN server, sort of like my own home version of GeForce now
I am fairly familiar with Linux, I’ve been using different distros for some years now and have done some config editing here and there. I am also a web developer and use the terminal quite a lot and so I always stumble on people’s recommendation to use tmux and how good it is, but I never really understood what it does and,...
To understand why you might want to use tmux try the following:
Open your terminal
Start editing a file with vim or nano but don’t save the file
Close then re-open your terminal
You will have lost your progress, next we can repeat but this time using tmux so you don’t lose your session:
Open your terminal
Start a tmux session using tmux
Start editing a file again using vim or nano
Close and re-open the terminal
Type tmux a to re-attach to the existing session
Note that this time none of your progress is lost.
Aside from enabling you to have a persistent session, tmux also allows you to have multiple terminal panes open so you can do more than one thing at a time in the window, to see what I mean try this:
Open your terminal
Start a new tmux session using tmux
Type top to begin listing processes
Press ctrl b then % to make a new split pane
Enter ls or other terminal commands
You will see that you can use more than one panel to do things. This can be useful for example if you want to watch run tests and also run other commands.
Hail dictator Xi!
