Last Epoch - on a gen 1 SD it runs great. Set for 40 fps, medium details, about 2 hours of battery life. Levelling my first character, a Falconer. It’s an offline char for now because of the server issues, but it’s fine, since I’m not planning multiplayer anytime soon, first I want to enjoy the story and learn all the mechanics without distractions.

The game is really good, and looks beautiful. Maybe the only negative is the default controller layout is not perfect, but nothing critical. With a little fine tuning it works like a charm.

Cant comment on online mode so far, but suspend on offline mode works perfectly. I had the game running for 3 days like that and only quit when there was a new patch released :)

Its more about DLCs, then microtransactions but the two are very similar.

Okay lets say its a Steam Sale and they have publisher highlights. Lets saaay…Ubisoft or EA or one of these big corporate publishers.

Huuuge banners::Sale up-to 85% off

So since I am a patient gamer I start browsing and look at some 8-10 years old AAA titles I didn’t bother to pay full price for at relese. Like some older AC, Ghost Recon, or something for under 10 EUR/USD. Cool, then you click on it and what I see?

THATS ONLY THE FUCKING BASE GAME!?!?!! They still sell 3 premium editions with the DLCs and the one with all the content is something like 25-30 EUR/USD. With 85% off. So the full price is still something like 100+ EUR/USD. Fuck this artificially inflated price, I’m not paying that much for a decade old fucking game.

While other publishers roll all content into a complete edition or even release free remasters with all content included for considerably lower price for their older titles these greedy fuck publishers still trying to sell us exclusive content from a decade ago. Fucking boils my blood.

I am trying to vote with my wallet and not buy any Ubisoft games at all if possible. The last AC I enjoyed was Black Flag, but still didn’t finish it.

So my whole rant is not that I cannot live without the DLCs, but the shitty business practise of selling them like this.

I bet against it

Macaroni_ninja, 2 months ago

I waited 12 months last year and now a whole year? This is bullshit!

That ricochet arrow in the dark, hmmmmm. Perfection!

A house, which runs on green energy with a big garden growing my own veggies and fruits. Mainly to save a shit tons of money in the long term, and because I love being close to nature, while still maintaining my modern life (internet, gadgets, modern living)

More police cars and maybe some titty emoticons if you could find something big and round.

Organic maps

It’s not overly complicated, doesn’t eat up data, has offline mode and works well for both driving and cycling. Oh and it’s FOSS, community driven, no data collecting.

I am not a power user of OM, but did not have any issues with routing so far. …but again I did not test it for many scenarios while cycling as I mainly stick to my usual routes.

Macaroni_ninja, 3 months ago

They should go one step further and ban the programming language as well the emulator was created in. That will show them!

Macaroni_ninja, 3 months ago (edited 3 months ago)

Please someone tell me a scenario, where I would use the eyewear-free 3D features in everyday life? Not just a magic trick, but an actual practical use.

Exactly, why limit yourself to only one source of caffeine. Coffee and tea are both awesome!

Last Epoch I love it! Plus runs great on Steam Deck

Macaroni_ninja, 2 months ago

By default there are some texture issues, switching to Proton GE resolved everything.

You sure we are talking about the same game? Lvl 4 can be achieved during the first map within 10 min in Last Epoch

Was it a pine cone?

Consoles are more and more like PCs, with many multimedia, productivity and utilility apps and even web browsing, so the Steam Deck IMO perfectly fits the discussion.

Out of the box it has a strict console-like UI and limited functionality for everything else other than gaming. You need to take special steps to use it as a PC (reboot in desktop mode, attach peripherals, etc)

Macaroni_ninja, 3 months ago

There is no strict definition of what a console is. Just because the linux OS is not restricted and the hardware can be used as a pc with extra steps are we excluding the SD from the console topic?

Macaroni_ninja, 3 months ago

I’m using it in my daily life now
