Amazing game, and one of those “video games as art” that is often overlooked. The gameplay itself is nothing to write home about, but the narrative would not have been nearly as powerful if it wasn’t completely interactive.

Maybe we could get some young, impressionable, IDF kids to play that white phosphorous sequence so they can learn what it feels like in a video game without having to actually murder countless civilians.

If I offended anyone, I apologize. But man… People like you make this shit look bad (I know this is old, I just saw it).

I respect people’s choices with respect to gender expression. What I don’t respect is people who use that shit as a cudgel to censor opinions they don’t like that are entirely unrelated to that subject.

That person had NO pronouns listed next to their name. I frankly don’t clock people’s usernames before commenting so had no idea what their username even was. That said, one could argue that the name Emily implies nothing about a person’s preferred pronouns. Unless you know them personally, or they complained personally about this, then YOU are the one assuming gender and pronouns. Fuck dude, why am I even assuming that the person’s username is their real name? Oh no, I just said “dude” are you going to ban me?

Two people who have never seen/heard/spoken to one another discussing something on the internet, and one is supposed to, what, intuit the other’s preferred pronouns? What if Emily did not identify as a woman, and you just corrected me? It’s almost as if “cool man” isn’t gender specific anymore, and you know that.

Wish this woman could be our president.

Nobody is going to SIM swap you unless you have a shitload of crypto and let everyone know about it. It’s not an easy attack, so it would have to be targeted. Pretty easy to not be a target (not having millions of dollars of crypto on a wallet helps).

Looks like what “the future” looked like in the 80s and early 90s. Like Total Recall or BttF Pt. 2

I’ll defer to you on this as I’m by no means an expert. I suppose I thought there was more demand for young people who have that specific skillset than there actually is.

Again, it depends. Some of the most notorious hackers of all time literally had their prison sentences commuted so that they can work for the NSA (or US Gov’t in some capacity).

but cybercrime is a big no-no when it comes to actual employment.

Depends on what field you’re in. There are entire sectors of tech that seek out skilled hackers for things like pen testing.

Lol what a loser. Trying so hard to sound badass.

The D-pad on the Switch Pro Controller is hot garbage. Unless they changed it.

Yeah if they like the PS4 controller, then they’ll 100% love the DualSense.

Just play Astro’s Playroom and you’ll get it.

DualSense is the best right now IMO due to the features. If you don’t believe me, actually play Astro’s Playroom.

But I love the Steam Deck’s layout (so I guess I’d probably like the Steam Controller as well). A lot of that has to do with Steam Input being fucking awesome, but it’s also possible to get relatively good at using the touchpads as mouse, and the “touch right stick to enable gyro” is an awesome feature that has made FPS games playable on console for me.

No we don’t, we have 400+ years of capitalist history to tell us what comes next; Oligarchy, neo-feudalism…

People: Cory Doctorow didn’t invent this concept. Read a book.

It will end up being like FreeVee on Prime for anyone who’s ever watched a movie or anything on there. They straight up randomly just inject ads in at random times, often not even during scene breaks. Characters are sometimes mid-sentence… Oh, and we’re back to the volume of the ads being 2x louder than the movie itself because I guess that law Congress passed way back in the day only applied to cable and broadcast TV.

It makes it nearly unwatchable. So get ready for that experience.

Oh great. Can’t wait for Sony or something to come in and completely ruin the IP with a movie or some shit.

Man, the way that headline begins, I thought he had died.

On a macabre, but related, note: how long after Gabe’s death before Steam goes public and turns to shit? I’d give it 6 months.

I think a big part of that, for me at least, is Steam Input plus the trackpads being an actually usable alternative to using a mouse to move a cursor.

Those two features have made countless games that I never imagined I’d be playing on a controller, let alone a portable device, completely playable.

Steam Input alone is such a killer feature that I rarely see people talking about. The amount of customization you can do on a game-by-game basis is actually kind of hard to believe.
