Why does a game cost that much to make? I’m not saying every game should be an indie, but given what indies can accomplish it’s a little ridiculous to spend $125 million.
I’m considering purchasing a steamdeck. I may be away from my computer when I get the steamdeck. Could there be any issues with setting up games without access to a computer with my steam account? I assume cloud saves will be available. What about setting up a game that requires rockstar launcher?
IMO Season 3 is a step back. I finally managed to get the Tempest Roar at around 85 for my Druid and there is literally no Endgame… A week ago i’ve completted all season milestones and didn’t uninstal the game because of the lunar event. An event from 6. till 20 feb… i finished the event in an hour. Blizzard has so many...
Honestly I think Diablo 4 is just geared towards relatively casual players. I can only play an hour-ish per day, and I’m on a reasonable pace to finish the battle pass with week to spare.
I understand the frustration from hardcore players though, when you consider the level of commitment D2 took.
To be fair, that balance of progression in D3 didn’t come until Reaper of Souls. Should they have learned from it? Yeah. But D4 is honestly in a better place than D3 was at launch.
D3 at launch had no endgame at all, much like D2. It was just farm bosses in the campaign until you got better gear to move to the next difficulty, rinse and repeat. Now, it did take longer because the game was balanced around the auction house. You were incredibly unlikely to find gear that would carry you into the next difficulty, so buying gear was generally the strategy to get you to the next difficulty. Then you could sell the gear you farmed there. It wasn’t really an issue on Normal/Nightmare, but it was on Hell/Inferno.
i wouldn’t normally be concerned since any company releasing a VR product with this price tag is obviously going to fail… but it’s apple and somehow through exquisite branding and sleek design they have managed to create something that resonated with “tech reviewers” and rich folk who can afford it....
Eh, you’re talking what, $1500 for a headset and rig? Even if you have 4 setups at one of those kiosks the cost to have someone running it is going to quickly outpace the cost of the hardware.
Voice control for activities will no longer be available on Fitbit Sense and Versa 3 devices. You’ll need to use the buttons on your device to start, stop, pause, and resume activities. You can still voice control activities on Pixel Watches.
Wow. Removing an existing feature from an older and cheaper device and leaving it only on the newer, more expensive device?
Yup. We had one but after we had a smouldering fire in our outdoor trash can we got several for different points in the house. We also have escape ladders in the bedrooms.
I bought it for our RV - it’s a great option there. Even with the two element model we can easily keep up with water needs for a family of three. The issue at home is just that it does take up a lot of counter space.
I love Tidal + Plex. I already had a Plex server set up, but the integration with tidal is great. Good music quality, pays the artists well, and no gaps in the library that aren’t also there in the other services. When you add Plex you can then fill in those gaps with your own music files.

I was just listening to eons in my car and specifically the episode about armored fish, and the thought occurred to me: isn't evolution ultimately selecting for adaptability? (m.youtube.com)
It would seem the design that can survive the most extinctions would be the clear winner in the end.
Is anyone else worried about the apple vision pro?
