For what it’s worth, I subscribe to the “use your TV as a screen, plug another device in to deal with content” method. It’s not connected to the network.

So, whatever my TV wants to do, I’m not using it’s janky apps that might get slow over time or try to advertise to me - my Nvidia shield (which is on the ropes/way out due to some updates it pushed) CEC wakes the TV and plays content without having any particular insight into my emotional state. But I can replace that relatively easily/cheaply until my screen literally stops working, rather than if some new service isn’t supported on it or an old one is deprecated.

I’m being tempted to replace the shield with a NUC or other device due to the updates I mentioned above - but I can probably replace the launcher more easily.

Do you mean the series specific tweaks? I thought the comics were written closer to 2000.

Just checked, they were originally published 2006-2012.

I’ve been really enjoying Blue Jeans by Synapson, after picking it up in a band camp Friday.

Just as I was saying to myself “I’m pretty happy with the Garmin I have, I don’t need a new Pebble,” here come Pebble’s marketing department with a reason!

… What do you mean this is an announcement from Garmin?

I am amused to report that this is a legally distinct definitely-not-Zachtronics company that just happens to have two guys (including Zach) from Zachtronics in.

… But yeah, they’re back, whoo!

That’s a heck of a drive! Hope you have fun with it.

This sounds like a wonderfully wholesome weekend. Nice one! Have a great time!

I tried a pair of the Xreal Ones recently. They were pretty decent, though I was a little disappointed by the limited FOV (relative to real life screens, as I gather they’re pretty good for this style of display) the screen pinning was very good, and I really liked the “ultrawide” support (other than the aforementioned fov).

I’m thinking about buying a pair before I have a bunch of long flights later in the year.

And they just got partially acquired by HP.

Real “got money, I’m out” energy, there.

Depending on how long you’ve been absent, Witcher 3 may tick some of those boxes for you.

For what it’s worth, the posted article isn’t talking about the Portal - actually talking about a theoretical unconfirmed new handheld.

Found Steamdeck, but I can’t see a non parody Valve account - got a link/handle?

Edit: Valve Software, thank you.

Sorry, I’m confusing a conversation I saw the other day that said we’d have had two GTAs in the same time star citizen had been in development for. Weird comparison.

Do you think they don’t intend to deliver? If so, we fundamentally disagree.

Mismanagement or bad planning is not a scam.

Why is this a scam?

Are you asking this about any other games? GTA6 doesn’t have a release date yet, do you have the same worry?

… Genuinely, I do see the difference between the two, but it’s weird to me that people are calling it out for things that aren’t said. They say enough; if you can’t make complaints based on reality, that’s a bit lazy.

Edit: for what it’s worth, I’ll “move the goalposts” on this one if you come back with some nonsense around how they haven’t delivered anything yet. I’ve played a fair few hours on my ship (probably a few hundred over the last decade), despite not having invested millions of pounds.

Where does he say “have no plan of delivering”, out of interest? I’ve re read it a few times and can’t find that.

I got a few nice ones last night, too! Need to process them a bit maybe, but pretty nice even straight from the camera!

Fair enough!

Honestly, though - “method or mechanic”, do you think palworld is a pretty blatant copy of Pokémon or not? Like, most of it. Not just a single bit.

I missed this - what happened? (Searching now)

Sadly, I think this person is railing against “having more than just white guys featured” (as if that’s forced, when you start making games in new locations around the world) rather than the bland Ubi-style open-world map checklist that you might expect to be the sane complaint.
