I’m curious what your Steam replay looks like

Same here

So is this a whole new divinity or a remake of the first divinity?

Eat that poor banana already!

Google is adding a new app to company-managed Pixel phones, which allows IT admins to see all the RCS messages sent and received on specific devices.

Honestly I thought this was a thing already. Never assume that your company owned phone is private, never ever access your personal account on your work device.

Used to be that disk jockeys also got to pick what they played to an extent. Now it’s all just predetermined lists nationwide brought to you by iHeartRadio. But yeah. Crazy to think how quickly things changed.

Used to be we would share mixtapes… I really miss that. It was an intimate social interaction that we’ve entirely lost with modern streaming.

I miss the days of people having their own bespoke collection of their favorite movies and shows. Everything is homogenized now. At least when I pirate, I’m still building my own personal media library. And I never have to worry about the show I like being removed later.

But I’m not gonna lie. The quality drop off in content caused by streaming services I think is a bigger issue

Netflix activity tries to make content that’s not actually good enough to watch without browsing a phone. Second screen content, they call it. And I guarantee someone in a finance role realized they could make way more by doing just enough to keep people, rather than try to actively create amazing content, because it’s soo much cheaper to not pay for good writers, or good set designers or actors when you could just find someone who’s good enough. I think it’s because the money people spend is recurring, linked to the service as a whole, and not linked to the individual work… users have to vote by watching now, and some of the best stuff I’ve ever seen is also some of the least watched.

And that’s why he’ll fail.

Of course epic doesn’t understand empowering consumers with information. They don’t care about consumers. If they did, they’d maybe try adding some long requested features to their storefront.

I’m waiting for the montage clip of Geoff just saying “Clair Obscure expedition 33” & “Death Stranding 2 On the Beach” over and over and over.

Those two freaking dominated.

I think it’s good the machine is not super powered. If people stop buying the latest gpus so often, then devs will need to optimize their games or target weaker hardware.

I really want this to be the case.

I’ve been running Bazzite on a Framework Desktop 64gb and it’s a beast of a little machine.

Honestly way more expensive than I would ever recommend for anyone who’s using it solely for gaming. You could make something just as good, but bigger, for less. Or you could build something good enough and small for way less, depending on the performance you’re trying to hit. But if you’re in that sweet spot where you want a lot of power in a tiny package, it won’t disappoint. You’d be hard pressed to find anything as close in performance and size for a lesser price.

Plus side, you got a lot of vram if you wanna play with local LLMs.

It’s looking like the steam machine is gonna hit that sweet spot of being ‘good enough’ while being small and probably fairly priced.

Except it isn’t. And now if I want to side load an app I build myself, I need to register with Google.

Maybe you need your hand held when working with computers, but it doesn’t mean all of us should be forced to do the same.

Google is also working on a new developer account type for students and hobbyists, which won’t have to go through “full verification requirements,” but will only allow app installs on “a limited number of devices.”

Sure doesn’t sound like what we have now to me

Bull shit half solution. Don’t accept it.

I posted this in the other thread, but wanna share here too:

Most interesting thing to me is the Frame apparently runs a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, and is using SteamOS, implying official ARM support for SteamOS, Steam and Proton! Could mean steam and proton coming to android too.

Square Enix exec doesn’t know what QA and Debugging entail.

Modern Doom isn’t really a Boomer Shooter anyways.

Your link isn’t working for me
