This isn’t the first time they’ve pushed an update which crashes PCs.

IIRC, the development/testing is done on Windows under VMs rather than a sample of real world hardware, so it’s like “well yeah, duh, no wonder why you keep releasing updates that crash & freeze end users machines”

Between shit like this, Crowdstrike, and Microsoft Recall I wonder why anyone even bothers with Windows anymore. I have both Mac and Linux (both which I love equally). Both of them don’t seem to have anywhere near these levels of issues - Macs I would hope not given the eye-watering amount I’ve spent on it, and Linux I could be forgiven if it did give me hassle, but no.

Nevermind, I did a quick check on YouTube and the game runs absolutely terribly on the Steam Deck… so much for me supporting Konami, got that refund request in order.

I’m just downloading it to my Steam Deck as I bought advanced access to the game. I’ll let folks know how it goes.

And before anyone jumps on my neck about buying advanced access:

• I waited until review scores came out
• Even then I was originally planning to wait a few weeks until launch but with Steam refunds, I figured I can play for half an hour to get a good feel of the game
• Not only is this Konami’s first good game in ages, I dare say this is also the industry’s first good game in ages. RE4 was excellent, but the OG was great and Capcom at that point knew how to do well. I cannot say the same for Konami/Bloober.
• I’m someone who is lucky enough to have enough disposable income where a purchase like this doesn’t really negatively affect me financially.

Also from my experience the users on BlueSky are pretty much a straight swap from Twitter. And by that I mean nobody ever bothers interacting with me at all.

On mastodon if I so much as rip a fart on there, *someone* will engage with it. On BlueSky? Nada.

I did and I feel quite happy about it. Here’s hoping there is more web engines out there 👍

Well tbf I’m seeing the introdução hashtag trending on Mastodon (on my server it is second)

I hadn’t heard about Molyneux in a hot minute, and now I’m quite glad I’ve lived in a bubble away from that man’s crap.

Aw man, I recently bought RE5 and 6 from Humble Bundle just to see how bad the games are.

RE5 is bad, but in a somewhat enjoyable way. It helps that Chris Redfield’s biceps are as big as his head, which adds to the accidental funniness.

I remember buying Duke Nukem Forever in a Humble Bundle, a bundle that I had virtually every other game for the price. I remember only paying $1 and I gave *all* that money to charity.

I played DNF. I still felt robbed. To this day I haven’t completed it due to how terrible it is (if my memory serves me, I’ve been minaturised and I’m driving around in a tiny car? But the controls are awful and Duke now seems like a Trump like character whose charm is entirely devoid in modern times. It was already wearing thin back when it was released, too).

NGL I was quite sold on the daytime building the town up, nighttime prevent it from being destroyed,

But then it went into customising clothes, food, houses, etc and it just lost me. I don’t care about that. I don’t want to micro-manage each aspect of my citizens down to the individual clothes/ingredient/brick etc.

I never understood why Molyneux is so big on the idea of customisation - it seems to get in the way of the games grander vision…

YEEESSSSS!!! Man I love this game!!

Ah man! What a great choice!

It looks like the studio was behind Ghost of Tsushima, so here’s hoping further down the PS5’s lifecycle we get a sequel!

Nice choice! Would you like them to start afresh or would you like them to continue on from a specific game?

I’ve heard a fair bit about this game, but never really played it. I may try to get a copy for my Steam Deck. Which one would you recommend for a first timer?

Genuinely thank you for the context.

So many times I read gaming news on forums such as this and reddit where the discussions just assume you know what people are talking about, and as a guy in his mid thirties who has completely disconnected from online gaming but is on the lookout for a good game or two, I would like at least some context!

There was a time where Elon Musk (EM) was pretty much a nerd darling. The real life Tony Stark.

I don’t know where you are, but in the UK the positive image dropped quite quickly once he called a British cave diver a pedophile over the remarks said cave diver (Vernon Unsworth) said that EM offering his small submarine to help the Thai cave boys was a “PR stunt” and also to “stick his submarine where it hurts” (link). Admittedly the latter was harsh words, but to then go ahead and call a British person in Thailand a pedophile (obviously referencing Gary Glitter) was incredibly childish, petty, and virtually made a lot of Brits distrust EM as well as see him for who he really was from the online tantrum.

I do feel sorry for those who have been suckered into thinking EM isn’t some narcissistic arsehole, although the number is dwindling (a personal highlight was when he got booed after Dave Chappelle introduced him to his audience in San Fransisco)

I tried this on my Steam deck, and the launcher that opens the specific game (DOOM, DOOM 2, etc) was so pitifully sluggish.

I think it was struggling to load the screenshot or to stop playing a demo video to move onto showing a screenshot.

Absolutely abysmall performance for something so unbelievably simple by a large studio.

I completely forgot about Whiskey. Managed to get GTA V running at 120FPS on it, which was (and still is, IMHO) absolutely mindblowing.
