Apple Arcade is still going and getting plenty of releases. I don’t know anyone buying it specifically but including it in Apple One (competitively priced subscription for most Apple services) means lots of people have access to it. Me and my partner use it a lot. It’s very nice knowing that those games won’t try to shove microtransactions down my throat.

Yeah, I use video games recreationally, dude. CSGO, GTA, MDMA, FIFA - you name it.

By adding "site:reddit.com” to search results, users can hone their search to more easily find answers from real people.

I’m convinced that media that keep saying this are in cahoots with advertisers who have noticed this ages ago and have astroturfed Reddit beyond being reliable source of information since then.

I think publishers were involved but those services are the lowest priority so I wouldn’t look into it that much.

Promise of 60 FPS with ray tracing sees a pretty quick stumble.

Yes and no. Yuzu had it coming because they bragged about running leaked games and profited from it. Ryujinx was entirely legal and ethical even if they were way early to the game.

I’m afraid they might never hear that releasing games in such a dire technical state is not something that they should be doing.

Very happy for another polish dev to do well. This is a great day for Poland, and therefore the world.

I knew someone would have thought of this. Thanks!

I wouldn’t run it on original hardware but are there any known attack vectors where malware infects you via a ROM that runs in a trusted emulator?

I stopped buying their games ages ago because keeping up with DLCs was borderline work that somehow became more and more expensive. Devs need to learn to finish their games and move on to new ideas.

Are you in the EU? Every ad company does a dark pattern where it looks like it’s impossible to opt out but remember that you can’t be legally opted in without explicitly agreeing to it. Once you know it you’ll notice that if you go into managing your choices then no non-essential cookies or data sharing partners will be selected. Ad company wants to trick you into agreeing by making „agree” look like it’s preselected and default (by being the only coloured button) but nothing there is actually selected and if you click „save choices” you just refused those cookies.

Alternatively you can use an extension like superagent.

I’m confused, what’s the topic?

8GB is just too low and was too low in 2020. It gets shared with GPU and once you swap you decrease lifespan of a soldered SSD. It’s okay for light use but let’s not kid ourselves that even if it was passable in 2020 it would be enough for much longer.

It got bashed for low RAM by everyone except mainstream tech „reviewers”. Tech media are glorified advertisements these days so the only thing that happened between then and now is that they switched from selling you that new shiny M1 MacBook to selling you that new shiny OpenAI model.

I’m not going to bash M1 MacBook Air. It’s awesome, the CPU was ahead of time and I knew it would last me years. That’s why I got 16GB one.

Supposedly it just scratches „that itch” - mindless grind and loot cycle integrated into survivor-like formula. There are more games like it but HoT is also nailing aesthetics. Death Must Die is another game in similar vein but they also went one step further and copied upgrades from Hades too (this one I played myself). Both are enjoyable remixes on proven formulas and there’s nothing wrong with that.

My partner who’s been a Diablo junkie back in the day couldn’t stop playing this in early access to the point of being on some leaderboards. From what I’ve seen over the shoulder it seems VERY solid and it’s probably one of the better survivor-likes around.

It had very inconsistent frame pacing and serious shader compilation stutter even after the latest patch according to what Digital Foundry has shown.

I want this to be a thing now.

Can the French pick up the slack on this kind of game development please?

Hopefully they start supporting ARM64 on platforms that made the switch already too.

Unfortunately I get a feeling that Valve is going to make a proprietary platform out of Linux like Google did with Android and people will be clapping all along the way.

That makes it much more cruel. They are going to single out those two dozens of Xbox users.
