Unless he switches view modes like the one in Predator 2.

That’s good that you were able to do that with that specific game, but would all VR games work in that space? After all, you wouldn’t be getting it to play one game.

Not to mention, WE KNOW. We know he and his fascist enablers are destroying the country. Anyone who doesn’t know that now is willfully ignorant and no amount of “distracting” would make a difference.

found the structure of the game closer to a classic BioWare RPG.

Yes, exactly. It followed that formula, not Fallout. That probably should have been made more clear so people wouldn’t be making a comparison that didn’t fit at all.

I don’t think it would help SD sales much, either (and everyone would just play HL3 modded to run on regular PCs anyway if that happened), but Alyx is a bad comparison because the barrier to entry for VR is much higher than pretty much any other platform. It’s not only expensive, but requires a large amount of room, which not everyone has to dedicate exclusively to games.

Mouse-based games are pretty easy to set up. It’s keyboard-heavy games that can be difficult.

almost every video game that exists besides the ones Nintendo makes.

Well, legally. Practically, you can play almost every video game Nintendo ever made on the Steam Deck. And with better visuals in many cases, to boot.

The gyroscope and touchpad of the PS5 controller have actually been really useful for setting up games designed for M+K on the TV via my Steam Deck. Kind of funny, since those features go completely unused by me on the console it was designed for.

It’s not what I can play, it’s how I can play it. The Steam Deck is a super convenient way to play thousands of games either portably or on the TV without lugging a laptop or PC tower around. If you always just play games on PC at a desk, there’s no reason to get a Steam Deck and it wasn’t made for people who play that way.

Not surprising. The Deck has always been niche and is just one way to play PC games out of many, many other options.

Oh, wow, I knew the most expensive one sold out a week or so ago, but didn’t know the middle tier one did, too. It can’t possibly be a coincidence that this happened when the Switch 2 launched when they’ve all been in stock for a long time now. I know I got my LCD Steam Deck right after seeing the Switch 2 reveal. The continued enshittification of the walled gardens in the gaming industry has finally made me start the transition to PC gaming as a main rather than secondary way to play games.

It is always morally correct to pirate Nintendo games.

Their new premium price point is definitely going to put a dent in their family sales, though. That’s uncharted territory for them.

They make great games and they’re a super anti-consumer company. Perfect combination for going out of your way to pirate their games.

I’m sure a lot of them are very good kind generous people as long as they think you’re cis, straight, Christian, and white. I used to live in Georgia, so I’m not a stranger to people in ruby red areas.

“Their religion is symbolized by a Star of David, so why not use that and write Jew on it? And maybe put the word in German because Hey Jude is one of my favorite songs!”

there are a lot of very good people on both sides.

The Federal government is a hostile invading force in California and I wish they would be treated as such. The California State Guard needs to forcibly remove ICE from the state.

I’m just fuckin’ ready to declare war on the federal government at this point. I’m so tired of their fascist bullshit.

The vast majority of Steam games can be easily cracked and played offline if they ever go rogue. Modern console games are much more difficult to jailbreak like that.
