A horror movie with the same scene that got the game rejected by steam would have caused its authors to be sent to jail, though.

Aaaaaand it's gone. RWS posted another update:

... we've been overwhelmed with negative responses from our concerned POSTAL Community. The strong feedback from them is that elements of the game are very likely AI-generated and thus has caused extreme damage to our brand and our company reputation.
...
Our trust in the development team is broken, therefore we've killed the project.

Quoting: mr-victory@Eike do you have a fairphone?

Yes. :)
The Motorola G-Whatever I had before hat removable battery and SD card slot as well though.

Quoting: ElectricPrism☑ Removable Batteries on Laptops and Phones

Not true. Have it in my phone I bought this year.

Quoting: ElectricPrism☑ Removable MicroSD Storage on Phones

Not true. Have it in my phone I bought this year.

I'm not quite as inclined to a Total Doom prediction as ElectricPrism, but those two points up there specifically are at least extremely strong trends over the past, I dunno, five years or so? Sure, are are phones available with removeable batteries and MicroSD cards, but those have been becoming increasingly rare. I'm hoping the zeitgeist will turn back around eventually re: MicroSD in particular, but even brands and product lines which have historically been really good about that kind of stuff have ended up dropping it on their more recent models. Saying that features like that are entirely "gone" is probably overstating things slightly, but I know that my own phone selection pool has drastically shrunk since ten years ago.

I agree these are trends!

But, vinyl records vanishing was a trend, too. If enough people do want it, they sell us what we want.

I also find it funny to strange that AFAICT it is not too hard to get a phone with SD card slot - as long as you buy for say 200 bucks instead of 1000.

Quoting: ElectricPrism☑ Optical CD/DVD/HD/BluRay Drive on Laptops
☑ Ethernet Port in many cases gone necessitating USB-C Hub
☑ Anything outside a single USB-C

Not true. Have it in my laptop I bought this year.

Oh, you bought a notebook with an ODD this year? Regardless of ElectricPrism predictions those *are* becoming more and more scarce and harder to find. Did you bought it for gaming or office work? Was it good? Can you please tell the model?

Ah, sorry!

I should have edited the quote, it has multiple USB-C ports, not the other points.

i think postal 2 is a cool and fun game, but this one is too much for me. there are horror movies similar to horses, with overly graphical and disgusting imagery, with violence for the sake of showing it. perhaps this sub-genre is not popular, because people don't see any point in this beside shocking their audience. i hope that developers of this game had at least some kind of artistic intent in this stuff, but on this topic I agree with my friend, who is a fan of horror genre, that very few creators of horror understand horror. it is not about disgusting imagery, or jump scares, or shocking content, it is about building up fear, tension, suspense in viewers. I can't feel any of that in the trailer, it is just gross. Well, whatever, I am not calling for its ban, the stores already have 18+ age check.

I wish Logitech still produced the G600. I got into WoW Classic at the beginning of the year and consequently picked up a cheap Redragon MMO mouse. I've since stopped playing WoW but man, I just can't go back to mice with just a couple of side buttons. Even in non-MMO games, I just rebind everything to my mouse and just use the keyboard for movement basically.

I ended up upgrading to the Corsair Scimitar but I'm wary of the build quality. Many people say the scroll wheel dies quickly, and even now after a few weeks the left click has this weird creak to it.

By the sounds of it, many saw the G600 as the gold standard but they stopped making it. I loved the G502 years ago, and still have a G305 in reserve.

Great hardware, but I'm sticking to open hardware projects like Ploopy. Once you get used to the freedom of open firmwares like QMK or ZMK on your peripherals, it's hard to go back to closed ecosystems. It is too bad, though, that open firmwares for wireless mice are still pretty much non-existent or broken.

In my opinion, Logitech mice are the best on the market.

Personally, I use a G502 X (I just replaced my G502 Hero, whose left click button broke down after years of use).

This model G502 X has a fast scroll wheel, and I have to admit that aside from gaming, for example, for browsing the internet, I can't do without it anymore.

I chose a wired version, which is less expensive and, most importantly, never runs out of battery mid-game.

To make it easier to use depending on my needs, I created a profile with five DPI settings: 2000, 3200, 4400, 5800, and 7200 DPI. Most of the time I use 7200 DPI, except when, for example, I need to do photo editing.

I recommend using Solaar and Piper software under Linux to get the most out of your Logitech hardware. They allow you to configure your Logitech keyboards, mice, and receivers according to your personal preferences.

Just need vanilla maps and gametypes to be available. Every time I look to see what's on, the server list is full of weird stuff.

Quoting: Avehicle7887Was never a fan or ever played these games however now offered DRM-Free I will eventually buy them in time. It seems the Warhammer ones are all missing, licensing issue maybe?

Impossible, since they recently changed that owning Warhammer 1 / 2 gives you free access to Warhammer 3 (limited to the factions of Warhammer 1 / 2 you own), therefore they always need to sell all 3 games on the same platform.

100% I have been buying these mice all year. I own about 4 of them for different computers and at work. I also recently upgraded to the 309, and it is slightly more accurate and responsive. They are both excellent mice for the $$$.

im a bit of a fanboy of Logitech , i used to purchase generic keyboards that lasted for few weaks then broke, decided that an expensive but durable keyboard would be an better use of my money than purchase an new one every week, purchase one of then because it had 5 years of guarantee... i think it was 15 years ago and only now some keys are failing.

not to mention the battery also last forever on it, quite energy efficient

Quoting: MrSeatbeltgoated mouse, got mine when my wired razer mouse (which technically had a better sensor but whatever) started double clicking, having scroll wheel issues and generally kind of fell apart a bit.

Yeaaah, this is standard Razer hardware behaviour in my experience. I dumped them in 2014, and jumped ship to Roccat since they had (unofficial) Linux support. Then the Linux support dried up for Roccat devices, so I jumped ship to Corsair.

Quoting: scaineI'm not saying we should scrap discrimination laws, but I'm very glad that common sense won out here. Let's just say that if I was forced into making a cake for an asshole bigot, that bigot probably wouldn't enjoy the cake I made...

I don't think "bigot" is a protected category in most human rights laws. So I'm not sure I'd say it's an exact parallel.

I knew this was a thing of duplicating files for HDD as I remember that was one selling point not needing it or at least a talking point of the PS5 and Xbox Series Consoles but damn that's the biggest I've seen I just assumed in my head that it was all the different texture qualities since the PS5 version is 40gb at least that's what it says you need I don't own it on PS5 and also PC versions of games can be bigger since the consoles have custom decompression hardware. But damn that's a lot of duplication only cross gen games I own on my PS5 Pro for perspective Control PS5 version is 27gb PS4 is 39gb, Haven PS5 4gb PS4 6gb, Soul Hacker 2 PS5 16gb PS4 24gb, but 154gb to 23gb!!?!?!??!? and how is it smaller then the PS5 version unless the PlayStation store is wrong.

I wonder how many of these other games with massive file sizes have duplicate data

I know Final Fantasy XIII can be shrunk in about half there is English and Japanese Video Cut scenes so deleting the language you don't use saves about 30gb of space. The game was designed with the PS3 50gb bluray discs in mind is why the Xbox 360 version is 3 discs. I don't know any others with duplicate data you can remove. Also just checked my PS3 disc only english huh didn't notice that before so PC is 57gb with both and PS3 is 40gb with only english damn they compressed the videos.

Quoting: "Purple Library Guy"Hrm. I have a bit of a problem with that perspective. So, if someone has a bakery and they do wedding cakes, it's OK for them to refuse to do the wedding cake if it's for the wedding of two gay people.

Sadly as you have been able to read as his answers, an awful lot of straight folks really don't think past their own nose and an awful lot of them will tell you to your face that they don't see the problem here ...

I'm using this mouse on my work PC, but mine has some sort of issue with the battery connection. It will just turn off for no reason, then I have to open it up and sort of push that battery so it turns on again, it's really frustrating. I have another logitech mouse at home, which I don't remember the model, and that one is perfect, battery lasts forever. So yeah, their QA can definitely be hit or miss, but I still like their products overall.

Just playing with Google and there are still enough laptops being released with ODD that magazines are doing top 10 lists: [https://www.laptopmag.com/articles/laptop-with-cd-dvd-drives](https://www.laptopmag.com/articles/laptop-with-cd-dvd-drives)

But you are the others are still missing his point, his point is not that this kind of models are not becoming scarce, it was the notion of this not being "allowed".

Fortunately I bought all my top end PC hardware before this all started.
Just going to sit back and watch the entire world burn, and it is going to burn with Nuclear FIRE!

Quoting: CanadianBlueBeerGlad I upgraded when I did. (2 yrs ago)

WHEN, not IF, the AI bubble bursts, gonna be a great time to do another upgrade. :)

Something else is going to burst at the same time, so you won't be buying anything when that happens. Think about it for a tiny second, the whole world invests into AI crap.. pours trillions of trillions into it, what do you think bursting will do, if it happened? minor upsets? no think well WELL north of major upset, we talking all missiles in the sky!

I use a lot of Logitech mice (M720, M220, G700, MX Ergo trackball, MX Vertical, etc). But it kind of sucks that many of them have this silicone/rubber surface layer that starts breaking down in a nasty way over time (time, heat, grease or UV?). I have fixed buttons or batteries but idk what to do about the breakdown of the surface 🤔

I've been using this mouse and its predecessors since I was 14. Can't remember the name of the first one but the left click died so I went to a G pro same shape just new look and sensor so no need to calibrate it then I spilled orange fanta on it and the left and right click got stuck, then got another one this time updated with the hero sensor. That one some how the rubber on the scroll wheel expanded and locked up the wheel still used it like that since I was still using windows so I could just middle click to scroll. I was very mad when they announced a wireless version of the G pro and it has an entirely different shape then the wired version but a bit later they released the G305 and I got one for my laptop for college. I lost the mouse so I got another some how lost the receiver to that one so I just have a mouse and receiver I can't pair together in my drawer. I don't remember when I got the G305 I use on my computer I still use my G Pro wired as a spare mouse and I at some point cut the rubber on the scroll wheel so I could use it. If Logitech ever stops making this mouse shape I'm screwed.

I have tried a Razer DeathAdder before I got my first G pro wired and hated the ever living shit out of it that shape and you had to have their software running on the computer to get full resolution of the sensor if not it had the worst resolution ever you could see it jumping pixels on a 1080p screen. So that turned away from ever thinking of Razer mice.

I have very mixed opinions on this title, namely in how the game of broken telephone has left key bits of context out. While Valve has not given an explicit statement of what caused the game to be crossed off the list, they did state that the reason the developers were asked to provide a build for Valve to review was due to the developers having marked the game as releasing in a few short months, necessitating the tight turnaround on providing a build for Valve to review. The developers statement on this was that they've never been asked to do this before, which may be true, but I assume that the quiet part not being stated out loud is that they had previously not set it to release so soon.

That being said, I don't necessarily think that should have precluded Valve reassessing the game afterwards, but I can understand a hesitance to do so when a developer has already provided you with a demo that has a child depicted in a morally grey scenario like that (assuming that is indeed the reason why it was even rejected in the first place, and again, that's something Valve could have made much more clear).

Outside of all of that, however, I think a more important point to call to attention that while GoG may have said "We’re happy to give HORSES a home on GOG, giving players another way to experience the game" and "Creativity deserves to be celebrated.", but while they did what I will ultimately say is the right thing this time, they failed to do the right thing with Red Candle Games' Devotion back in 2020. https://www.polygon.com/2020/12/16/22178225/red-candle-games-devotion-censored-steam-release-gog-date/

That's what sticks in my craw more than anything about this. This performative waving of "creativity being celebrated" and "giving these games a home on our platform". None of these storefronts, not a single one, has actually stood by that stance when the chips were down. Steam and Epic are the example today, but GoG failed Red Candle Games, Itch.io has and continues to cave to credit card companies, and Humble Bundle is just a more legitimate key store.

Quoting: Ehvispiper/libratbag lets you configure everything. Even better, that configuration is stored on the mouse, so it retains everything even after a reinstall.

I have three G305 and I didn't know about piper. Thanks!
