Unfortunately piracy doesn’t help the people who need it here. Hard to pirate on an Xbox, and Xbox players aren’t generally the type to just ditch the ecosystem where all of their game progress and friends are just to jump to a platform they have no experience or history with
Building a PC that can compete with a console costs like 4x as much as a console. A modern graphics card alone costs more than a console
Every time I ask someone to show me the mythical build that performs as well as a console does while costing less, they either disengage because they realize it’s impossible, or they come back with a $600 build that performs just about as well as an Xbox One
This is a more complex question than just “what is your favorite video game,” or “what games do you consider works of art?”
If I’m putting a game in a museum, it’s because there’s something about it that warrants preservation on a greater level than other games. To that end, my candidates are
The first commercially successful video game.
Arguably the most influential game of all time
Handcrafted in assembly, serves as a lesson both in optimization and harnessing the players’ penchant for finding intrinsic value in simplistic game mechanics
Edit: I just realized this comment looks like an infernal machine wrote it. I want to make it clear that I’m a human, with skin and blood and stuff
For real, it was legitimately a fun game. I still love the Interceptor. I should redownload it and take some pics before the servers die.
I have the same feelings toward Outriders. It’s fun, it has an interesting premise and serviceable story, and the player character is a cocky bitch (or son of one) who knows they’re the main character in the best possible way
My only gripe is that the game gave me all kinds of freedom choose my character’s backstory, but I had to treat Owen like he was some kinda moron. Motherfucker let me give him my Colossus, I never use it and he will be impervious in it
No, he’s not ready, and my character does everything in her power to ensure that he never will be. Owen did nothing wrong. He “stole” the Javelin of Dawn, and surpise surprise he’s a competent pilot. I only wish I could have supported him the entire time
I have a decade old lenovo yoga that still lasts like 40 minutes unplugged. Idunno how much a UPS that can supply a desktop for that long would cost, nor if that’s an embarrassingly short time, but it works well enough for me
Hot take: gamepass is preferable to a digital storefront. Any game you “buy” digitally is only somewhat less temporary than gamepass. At least gamepass doesn’t fool you into thinking you own the games you’re playing
Buy physical. If you’re buying digital, only buy from GOG. Pirate everything you can, and seed that shit forever
Downvoted for no reason. Like, Clair Obscur was free on Gamepass. I ain’t hearing shit about how it isn’t worth the price tag
Ubuntu, installed on a 256 gb flash drive as an experiment back in 2020. My first daily driver distro was Mint last year, then KDE Neon, and finally Kubuntu today
Distro doesn’t matter to me anymore, I just like the Plasma DE and will use anything that uses it. Eventually I’m gonna have to try Arch with it and make my own Steam machine
I’m not Tyler Bourbon, but it’s Fusion 360 for me. I sound like a broken record at this point, but it’s the only piece of software that keeps a windows install in my house
Hey Autodesk you should put F360 on Linux
In fairness, after October that security system will still be in place. The difference is that as soon as attackers finds a bypass, the security system will be worthless against future threats
There’s an app for that

It’s not as good as a physical numpad, but it gets the job done
🧲 time
An extra-extra spoiler: there’s a lot to dig your teeth into, philosophically, that makes the whole rigmarole worth it.
That’s a strong point for me, and the main reason I liked it as much as I did. Same reason I loved The Talos Principle, despite having to look up guides for the majority of the puzzles.
If I remember right, the first couple minutes is like a top-down shoot-em-up, but it transitions into that Devil May Cry style pretty quickly
You should go into Nier: Automata thinking it’s a game about a hot chick fighting a bunch of robots. The only spoiler you should know is that the end isn’t the end, and you need to play it again.
You should go into Spec Ops: the Line thinking it’s a game about a cool special forces team fighting a bunch of terrorists or something. The only spoiler you should know is that it’s supposed to feel like a generic third person shooter.
TBF, Warframe was far from a free-to-play tier experience, at least back when I played it. The Second Dream is still my favorite story quest in any game I’ve ever played
Nothing will ever match the effect The Second Dream had on me. This Is What You Are still sends shivers down my spine
I’ve tried to get back into it a few times, but there’s just so much new stuff that it’s hard to pick it back up
I really want to learn these, but every open-source alternative to fusion has a completely vertical learning curve. If I can’t intuit how to make a 20 mm cube without looking up a tutorial, then rebooting into my Windows install to use F360 will simply be faster
Two problems: I’m a console player because I have no money for PC parts, so I’m priced out already. But also, if I did have a good computer, I’d have to convince my friends to all pick up PCs as well, and I think they’d sooner quit gaming altogether than switch to mouse + keyboard
