That is all you need to know to stay as far away from this as possible.

LOL at that size and weight, is it the same as carrying around an ACTUAL SFF desktop/monitor in a bag?

GTA 6 publisher Take-Two reportedly shutting Roll7 and Intercept Games

"It's worth noting at this point that Take-Two's CEO, Strauss Zelnick, was paid $42.1 million last year, which is more than two-and-a-half times the previous year. So once again, the people at the top are pulling in big numbers while cutting the people doing the work."

This is absolutely disgusting. I know these people have no shame, but I wish I could be dictator of earth for just a few minutes with the sole goal of throwing this person in jail for life in the bottom of a dark pit with lots of other horrible things down there to keep him company.

Quoting: fritzyI stopped in the middle of my original play-through after I was told "Another settlement needs your help" one too many times.

ha! every single modern fallout game is on there. Impressive. Really shows what a good show tie-in will do for you. New Vegas is by far the best of the bunch IMO. Fallout 4 is WAY too much janky base building. Fallout 3 is just simply too old at this point. New Vegas with some mods is the best way you can go these days.

I think I'm even more confused about what frame pacing is ... Time to take a deep dive.

Quoting: Pyretic
Quoting: JarmerWhat exactly is "frame pacing" ...? Is that just referencing lower than expected fps? Or general stuttering like with a lot of unreal engine games? Or some specific technical issue I've never heard of before?

Frame pacing is the time taken to generate a new frame.

LOLOL: I didn't think a perfect person would come along, but lo and behold: it happened!

Fallout 4 'Next Gen' update out now and Steam Deck Verified
26 April 2024 at 1:46 pm UTC

is the ultrawide support on skyrim better? As in properly adjusts the ui? If so, that's so weird that they would release this broken since presumably being the same engine, it'd be exactly the same changes?

Dome Keeper is getting a major content update and multiplayer is coming
26 April 2024 at 1:44 pm UTC

My friend and I had an absolute blast playing this on the couch together when it first came out. It was awesome for one of us to be able to do the digging and then the other to take over dome defenses during the attack phase. SO MUCH FUN.

However ... when it first came out it, I don't think the balance was all that good. We quickly "beat" it just because we could pick the right upgrades and make the dome so incredibly powerful.

We got bored and quit, but then went back and tried it out again when they released the new character with the weird bouncy ball attack. That character was AWFUL ... like how did that even happen. Stopped playing for good then.

Maybe now with this we might give it another go!
